The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of H.264, your encoding a non high definition source into a HD format. Thats kind of like taking a 128kbps MP3 and re-encoding it at 320kbps. Just wait until Friday, I'm sure Apple will have H.264 video available on the Quicktime site

h264 is a general purpose codec, it can be used on 1.5'' cell phones screens and for full quality video the 30'' apple display, which is a higher resolution then HD.

Quick question, for those that "Erased and install".

Which option did you choose, or should choose :

Format Disk as : Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

                                       

or

                             

Unix File System

I used Mac OS Extended (HFS+). It is the default for Tiger Client, UFS is the default (or used to be) the default on OS X Server.

I ordered my copy to be shipped overnight from Amazon

I haven't gotten it and the tracking info on the amazon website says it's shipping soon.

Has anyone else that ordered from Amazon.com received theirs?

pm or email me please!

Does anyone else have this problem with all the drive space not being shown (shows '....')? Clean install, repaired permissions, deleted finder preferences, changed font and icon size all were no help.

I kinda have that problem. On my PowerBook I have a smaller drive, and the info fit's fine, on my PowerMac, i have the same problems with you - all my drives > 100Gb get the treatment. D'oh?

By the way, just looked at my ADC member download site and they finally posted 8A428 (client and server) for us to download. The funny thing is they still list it as a pre-release copy LOL!! :no:

Oh, yeah, and they still haven't fixed the expiration date error on the serial number for Server, it still expires on 6/31/05! :no:

I also have that large hard drive display bug, hope that gets fixed soon.

If you haven't already, install the developer tools, this is where the most improvements are in tiger.

Using Quartz Composer.app you can create or edit things like the RSS Screensaver, and with Quartz Debug.app you can increase resolution of the OS X Interface. Although not useful to most people, it is going to be sweet when apps start to use these features and apple uses more of them in 10.5.

I can always install that if I needed to right?

EDIT: for some reason my iBook is named "Mike's iBook G4", is there any way I can change this?

I went in finder and tried to change the name but its greyed out.

Yeah, its on your DVD if you ever need it.

You can change the name of your hard drive by selecting it an pressing "Command + I" and selecting Name and Extension. If you are talking about the computer name, open System Preferences and search for 'name' to test out spotlight ;)

If its grayed out, you dont have permission to change it, are you an admin?

Xcode is the developer tools right? (X11)?

X11 != XCode. X11 is a display manager that allows you to run UNIX based software such as OpenOffice.Org (you can even use it to run KDE or Gnome on OS X if you really want). XCode is the IDE for the developer tools, similar to Visual Studio on Windows. There are many other parts to the developer tools as well, such as Interface Builder (which, if you know what you are doing, you can use to re-arrange things in any Cocoa program!).

You change it in the Sharing preferences.

    • What pushed me away from edge was the massive enshitification, constantly adding more and more bloat. Coupled with the constant changes in UI, and especially in the settings. Want to change the default search from Bing to whatever, you would have use search to know the three places to go and change. Then 6 months down the road, the Edge settings area gets a major update/change and doing the same task, changing the default search is now moved to three new locations. This never stops. They do this in Azure and its so insanely irritating. I am a huge OneNote user and they have effed it up so many times in the last 5 years....same for Outlook. People walk away from Microsoft products out of exhaustion.
    • Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.
    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
