The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread

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.

    • 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.
