The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

Don't have my copy of Tiger yet, so if someone could try something for me it would be great. Open Dashboard, click and hold on a widget, then close dashboard. It should pull the widget to the desktop, and then when you open dashboard again, it'll go back.

oooh

But alas, it will only do one at a time, as whenever you go to the dashboard to select another, the previous goes back. I'm hoping this is a broken feature(where more than one can work) instead of a "bug" (widgets shouldn't do that at all)

I've heard when people first install Tiger it goes very slow because Spotlight has to index your HDD, about how long does it take you? I know it depends on how many files you have and such but does it index quickly?

That Kitten and Radish don't seem to have a problem with this "help" we should be able to do it because its 2-1  :p

Radish and I had been actively deleting support threads well before the sticky was put up.

As soon as Apple starts supporting Tiger, we will too.

As was pointed out to me via pm (thank you for the pm, btw), one Tiger thread is ugly. If you want to have a general discussion of Tiger, put it in here. If it's something in particular (ie, which apps are broken), then feel free to create a separate thread. We'll keep this one stickied.

Doesnt work here. it just zooms out with dashboard straight away.

i did find the processor usage of dashboards to be around 50-60% cpu with 5 widgets on a 1.42ghz G4. i ran a movie in the background at 1/2 the screeen size and viewed dashboard and it put the quick time to a hualt- became very very stuttery. i dont know why but dashboard seems to run very laggy compared to konfabulator. :/

Why? People have gotten their legal copies already, don't see why we should wait any longer. Most of us aren't really that dependant on what Apple does in order for us to do it.

The Dashboard trick doesn't work btw, maybe it was just a one time fluke.

Yeah but you can only place one on the desktop because they'll disappear when opening Dashboard again. I think they're way too big to be on the desktop, not to mention the CPU usage! And some of them (like the Weather) don't really work 100%.

So longhorn isnt out till end of 2006, but there are trillions of posts about people installing it and problems etc.

But tiger, which is now as good as out...

</rant>

I installed Tiger on a G3 iMac (350mhz 256MB) and it was so much faster. I would have thought they'd given up optomising for such an old system.

Just thought I would mention something about the RSS feed screensaver I mentioned a page back, if you open safari and add this feed://www.neowin.net/backend.php?page=main to your bookmarks under Other it will show up in the RSS Feed Screen saver and you can now view Neowin.net news :)

    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
    • Get yo ass to space
    • Vivaldi 8.0.4033.44 is out.
    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
