The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

i have absolutely no problems with an upgrade.

one thing though. it seems like my ibook runs a lot hotter than it did before i installed tiger. i may just be noticing it more since i have been using it more lately. i dunno. anyone else notice anything?

I dont notice any difference on my iBook.

I work at a hotel and we get lots of European guests (mostly Germans and Brits).  Many of them seem amazed that Mississippi isn't all farmland with slaves working in the fields.  The ignorance goes both ways.

of all the nations in the world, canada is probably the least ignorant, i mean, americans ACTUALLY do think we live igloos and get our food from ice fishing, and that we say eh all the time, man i wanted to hurt that guy. A lot of canadians know more about america then americans do. I was teaching my 20 year old cousin about american history, it was ridiculous.

Eh?

Just kidding, if it makes you feel any better I know that you do not live in igloos and fish from ice lakes for your food - UK here we drink Tea and eat crumpets and play polo in the afternoons before we go buy Top hats and have supper with the queen.

Now stop dilly dallying and onwards toward Stratford-upon-Avon!

Gosh... yet Canadian people complain about how arrogant American people are..

I'm not Amercan, and I think you just sounded just equally arrogant in that post, if not more.

edit/ I forgot to add that I ordered a PowerBook 15" w/ SuperDrive yesterday, and I can't wait! >_<

im loving tiger, the only problem i have is that i cant close Mail. It starts up with out showing the mail window, but when i go into Window > message viewer it shows up. When i close it either in file or apple+q it highlights the word file and does nothing. The only way i can close it by force quitting it. sad sad

I have the same problem :(

Just got tiger yesterday and installed it. I'm having some mixed feelings.

The OS upgrade added a HUGE performance boost. I mean, it feels like I have all new hardware here. Not that it isn't welcome, but for some reason that really bothers me. I don't think I have ever seen such a boost in performance with just software. It makes me think that Panther was, really, just full of performance bugs, and Tiger actually fixed those bugs.

I like the features of Tiger. I think out of everything Safari got the biggest performance boost. And that was REALLY welcome. Safari ran like crap before. The RSS features of Safari is probably the best part of this upgrade (for me so far). When I first read about them, I didn't think much of it... But now that I've seen it in action, all I have to say is WOW!

Is there a Dashboard widget that works with MSN Messenger?

Are there any cocoa based MSN Messenger clients out there? I love having spell checking, everywhere! Are there any clients that will show a person's picture or avatar like the windows MSN client does? I've tried Microsoft MSN Messenger, thought it was kinda crappy, and I've tried aMSN. aMSN was kinda underwhelming as well. Too bad iChat doesn't support MSN.

One last question: that one screensaver that uses the RSS feeds is really neet. Is there anyway to get a custom RSS feed like, neowin.net's RSS feed?

I can't get over how cool the RSS feed feature of Safari is. It actually makes slashdot.org readable :p !

-nic

i like proteus because of the way the convo windows look, and also, like msn, it tells you in a little square in the bottom of the screen when someone signs in and messages you, and unlike growl, you can click on it and it will pop up the event, only reason why i don't use adium is because i love that feature of msn (being a former windows user)

o_O lot of work for 2 help menus lol

Does anyone else get that loud... like... stunning noise when they take a screenshot?

585882213[/snapback]

I get a little camera sound. It's not loud here. I think it is nice that they added some feedback for that. I also like the sound at the end of a file copy, especially when I'm copying a large number of files somewhere. It's nice to be able to tell when they are done without having the copying window visible.

Well it did a lot more than showing 2x "Help" in the menubar. It made my dock crash when minimizing QuicktTime, it made QuickTime crash, after a while everything using QuickTime started crashing.

As for taking a screenshot, it sounds like a camera making a photo.

Purelogic you seem to never have problems :p

585883313[/snapback]

I had to format Tiger because of QuickTime 7, that seems like a huge problem to me... :p

But I have less problems after updating some apps with resources from the 10.4.1 updater package. The "selecting bug" in Preview 3.0.1 is finally gone, but Mail 2.0.1 still shows it main menu at login. Oh well, waiting for the final.

    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop data 'Google Chrome' is downloading for Chrome without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing 'Microsoft Edge' on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
