The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread

Can you be somewhat more specific?

I want to hide this folder: Users/MyName/Documents/Microsoft User Data

what exactly do I have to type in Terminal?

cd /Users/MyName/Documents
mv Microsoft\ User\ Data .Microsoft\ User\ Data

Note that the "\" before the spaces tell Terminal to treat the spaces as part of the filename.

Or just use quotation marks.

Thanks a lot Roadwarrior!

Quick question, would it be a good idea to do a archive/install, drag all the things I need to Tiger then just delete the Panther folder?

We are supposed to get all builds, including GM. My Tiger Early Start kit came with builds 8A414 of both client and server, along with a copy of Panther on CD, and a few other things.

Never mind, I didn't said anything (at least not to Chad). He removed those too.

Sorry ;)

Some people have seemed to have gotten their legitimate copies already, if not very soon. Why not be able to post support questions? It usually warrants very little information about Tiger actually being released.

I love the copied announcement from MacNN, very original. I also love the whole section here at neowin on Windows Beta. But of course, everyone in there obtained it legally and are not breaking NDA. :rolleyes:

Since Apple isn't officially supporting the OS until release date, neither will we. And to be honest, we really don't have any way of knowing if they are using a legit copy or not.

It's hard to believe you guys will find anything to whine about. If you have a problem, pm me about it.

So, support talk about an OS 7 days from release is prohibited, but we have all kinds of threads about installing, running and troubleshooting Longhorn, which isn't even in Beta yet...

next friday i'll be heading right over to the SoHo store and getting in line with everyone else...

[Vice]

when its the release day are we allowed to have support threads?

[Chad]

Alright. If anyone has a problem or comment, send it via pm. Let's keep the off-topic talk out.

As soon as Apple has copies for sale on April 29, you can ask as many support questions as you want
