Mac OS X "Tiger" Compatibility Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

The .app package file is messy, they need to clean it up.

Spotlight within QuickTime 7 Pro works without any problems.

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

I can verify this. I upgraded from 10.3.9 with NO PROBLEMS with toast.

Now in Tiger 10.4 8A428 - Toast 6.0.9 will NOT duplicate DVDs - DVDs I've successfully duplicated in the past.

Also another annoyance is the fact that spotlight does not actually search everything on your machine as is the case with Entourage. Yes yes, I know MS has stated they'll release an update for this, but fact of the matter is, I can see this being a great OS... just not yet, give it 6 months.

I'm thinking of going back to panther until all these "kinks" are worked out and companies have had time to release their new versions or updates or whatnot...

You're going back to Panther, a system that doesn't have Spotlight at all, because Tiger doesn't search through Entourage? :huh:

All BiTTorrent clients are broken in Tiger, official is screwed up and azrous gives me a NAT error, anyone experiance the same problem?

Everyone else has been saying that Azrous (sp?) is working, as is Bits on Wheels (I've tested this one) and Tomato Torrent. Official has been broken for me, but a couple of people have reported it working.

well mainly because I'm not very impressed with the OS. Sure automator, spotlight and dashboard are nice features, but at this point they're not developed enough to be suitable on a machine within a production environment.

I'm just saying for now it's probably in my best interest going back into panther where things worked properly and as expected. After a few software updates are released from Apple, and most companies have adjusted their software, I'll install it again.

until then, yes, I'd rather work in an OS without the feature at all rather than an underdeveloped version that only finds half the files I'm looking for, ultimately wasting even more time since i'll have to go looking for them myself...

but that being said, spotlight has some great potential...

I'm running Tiger 8A428 on a mission-critical Power Mac G5 right now. No problems have cropped up. It anything, it's working 10x better than it used to, and it used to work great. I run most commerical design and web apps on it, including all of Studio MX 2004 and Creative Suite.

It only would find half of your files if they were in fact on servers. Spotlight, the little app in the corner, only searches local disks (including external hard drives) to make things faster. Servers aren't included in that little app, but can be searched through via Finder.

I've switched back to Panther, sorry! Running 10.3.7. now from my Restore DVD that came with the PowerBook. I can't use Tiger without having Cisco VPN client installed (I need it to access my university wireless Internet).

I'll go back to Tiger once Cisco VPN clients are working! Sorry Tiger!

I thought someone mentioned earlier that the Cisco VPN client was unnecessary with Tiger, that it had a VPN client built in. I might be wrong.

OSX's VPN client only allows PPTP and L2TP over IPSec connections.

Cisco VPN client provides IPSec over TCP, with group authentication and other functionality that the built in client doesn't support.

Thanks for the clarification.

Speaking of the VPN client, does anybody know if/when Cisco will update their client? I heard that it wasn't going to be released (a new version) until the end of May. Can anyone tell me a little more (if they know anything?).

I really, really need the Internet on Tiger! :p

After a format and complete clean installation of Tiger, Microsoft Intellipoint 5.1 does not function on Intellimouse Explorer 3.0a.

I have received Tiger and installed IntelliPoint & IntelliType 5.1 since asking the question and both work fine with my Wireless Optical Desktop Elite.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
