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.

Gmail is working fine over POP here. I'm starting to think you are having some odd kind of network issue since that and MSN Messenger aren't working for you.

@WinMacLin & PureLogic:

Have you actually tried downloading something with BitTorrent 4.0.1 or did you just start it up? It will start fine here (on both machines) but stops responding when actually connecting to peers. It has been the same with 8A425 & 8A428. Previous versions of BitTorrent would simply crash on launch, never even making it to the main window.

I used it at the beginning of the week to download something, it went okay. Took forever to start up though, it just kept bouncing up and down like a Jack-Russel Terrier (from that fake switch ad). :p

I find that Limewire sometimes bounces for ages in my dock like 20 - 30 times and then I check it, its not responding restart it and it will be fine, it also happened when I tried to get MSN4.0 to sign in and a few times on VNC Server.

Maybe I should let it sit for a while. On every machine I've tried, it shows "Application not responding" and the wait cursor when it starts connecting to peers.

Toast 6.0.9 Clean install.  Problems burning images and data discs.  worked 100 percent with 10.3.9

Works fine here. I just burned a bunch of discs yesterday and the day before (almost every type except for audio). In fact, if anything, it's more stable.

Yeah but BitTorrent is one messy app.

Messy? How so? It has the cleanest interface of any torrent client on the Mac, which is why I prefer it. I despise Bits on Wheels for just this reason (even though it works on Tiger). BoW is way too cluttered for my tastes.

Here's a few more for the list.

Working:

Proteus

Menumeters

Synergy

Little Snitch

Colloquy

SubEthaEdit

VoodooPad

Azureus

Sweet, I love Menumeters.

A coworker just turned me on to it about a month ago, and I was really wondering if it would work with Tiger... Pre-Ordered it right when it was announced you could... 5 days and counting... :woot:

This needs to be repeated over and over though.

StuffIt Expander- Not included on disc, latest downloadable version works temperementally.

How come everybody is getting temperamental performance out of Stuffit Expander? It works perfectly for me, and I'm thrown quite a bit at it.

Can anyone tell me if Cisco VPN client is working or not in Tiger? I use 4.0.3. for my university wireless Internet but haven't installed it yet, as today is a public holiday in Australia.

My experiences:

- VLC crashes when you pause/exit fullscreen mode. It also crashes when you attempt to fast-forward or skip to parts of a file sometimes.

- Installed Toast and runs fine, but I haven't burnt anything yet.

- StuffIt seems to be working fine, I'm not sure what everyone else is talking about though with files/folders. It is okay in my case.

- ShapeShifter doesn't work, as noted. I haven't installed it as I like the Aqua theme.

- RCDefaultApp (prefpane) works fine.

- Office 2004 is fine too. I'm not sure about the sluggishness but it works okay.

- LittleSnitch must be using the 1.2b from the official site. 1.1.1. will not work.

- iWork, iLife are excellent, no problems there.

- Eclipse (Java IDE) is fine too, running the latest 1.4.2.07 SDK.

- Azureus 2.2.0.2 installs fine but I haven't downloaded anything yet. It should work fine.

- Acrobat 7 is fine too.

So the only things that seem to be broken for me are:

- VLC

- StuffIt?

- ShapeShifter (after Tiger gets released it will update)

- LittleSnitch (beta for Tiger available now)

I haven't played with Safari yet (no Internet connection) so I cannot say what it is like.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.

    • Really? Use a better search engine https://www.google.com/search?...ourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
