Mac OS X "Tiger" Compatibility Thread


Recommended Posts

I am having problems accessing Gmail over Pop at the moment it keeps telling me SSL is not supported but it worked before the upgrade and I am following login information on the Gmail site perfectly.

Mail in Tiger set up my Gmail account with ease. Even picked up on the SSL requirement and turned it on automatically. The only thing I had to change was the SMTP port. :) Everything's working like a charm between my Exchange account and Gmail POP account. :D

I don't have any special ports opened up. I wonder why it's working for me but not you. :huh: Your keychain security keys might be corrupt, but since you can access HTTPS sites, I'm doubting that.

I have 2 email accounts one with my ISP one with Gmail they are settup basically the same way just with the needed information to connect changed yet the one with my ISP works no problem what so ever.

The Gmail one on the other hand. Annoying I must say.

[EDIT] heres a picture, do you think perhaps I am connecting to some other computer? the certificate looks authentic to me.

Also just to add when I cropped this picture in Preview I got that bug where after deselecting it all went a weird shade as if it was still highlighted.

having a bit of a problem with sailing clicker. the app starts with the os and works just fine but when i try to disconnect my phone from the menubar on the top it just hangs. if i hover on it, it shows there is activity going on but nothing is happening. it worked fine in panther.

i guess we await an upgrade for that now.

btw, anyone know how to force quit a program that is minimized to the menubar?? i don't want to reboot my computer everytime.

HTTP Mail, the plugin for Mail to access Hotmail does not work. Crashes Mail and stops importing to the new version at first startup. mikedc1760, Xfactor does work for me. Acquisition seems to have connection problems though.

Fire up "Activity Monitor" in your Utilities folder and kill the process.

VLC is the biggest issue for me. Everytime I pause or change out of fullscreen/windowed mode, it crashes and generates a report. I haven't tried Cisco VPN (my uni wireless connection) but I suspect it will give me trouble too. Others have mentioned similar issues with Tiger and the apps I use already.

If I exit VLC fullscreen mode without first pausing the video it locks up but the video still plays for about 10-seconds then it crashes and I have to re-launch it.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
