Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Shipping

[bellis1]

Its nice to see everyone is as anxious as I am. For those of you who supposedly already received your version of tiger could you tell me if the portrait monitor rotation made it into the final build.

took a picture of the screen?

estimated ship date: April 28 2005
free shipping: standard 2 day delivery
equals = April 30 or 31 2005
I at-least want tiger on time or I wouldn't have bothered pre ordering on April 13....

anyhow I hope "estimated ship date" becomes on or before April 27

I think their thing says on or before April 28, 2005.

And, if you don't have it on April 29th at 6pm, just go down to the Apple Store or CompUSA; buy it, and then refuse shipment of the delivery.

yes you're right it does say before... I missed that, maybe I just need to simmer down and have a little faith.

oh but as with buying at another store. I got the educational pricing for 2 copies, (69.00 each) so I'll just need to be patient for a day or two until it comes.

I like many others am just really excited for tiger, but also excited cuz I've got a radeon 9800 pro coming & 1GB more ram (maxed at 1.5 in my quicksilver 2002) :-) (may not be big news to folks out there but it's exciting for me!!...) so I got a-lot to be excited about for this week

My order for Panther said the same thing and it shipped on a Tue and I got it on the Thur before the Fri release date. But that was 2 years ago. Im hoping it will be the same for this release as mine still says processing order. When they say on or before the 28th, they are just covering their butts.

On a side note I ordered my copy of Tiger 5 min after it ws released, so if anybodys will ship early it would be someone like myself who ordered that early. ;)

I know how you feel.. I'm really excited for Tiger as well.. I preordered on the 18th. My est. ship is also "on or about the 28th"... -_-

I don't have RAM coming though. lol Nor a new gfx card as my iBook G3/600 Mhz can't be upgraded is that sense. ^^

Shift + Apple + 4 and drag the cursor from the upper left corner of the area you want to copy and it will select an area instead of the entire screen.

There is only 30 days in April. Apple has warehouses that it uses in different parts of the country. So they are pre-positioning stock now. It should allow for delivery of Tiger on the 29th as promised.

Does anyone who if you can buy Tiger with the Education discount at a local Apple Stores. I have one close by and rather get it when it comes out and not worry about ordering online.

Well about a month and a half age I went to Apple store here in Soho, Mahattan and when I asked if they gone give edu discounts on Tiger a salesdude replied that thay don't give discounts on software. :((
However, I did buy an iPod photo there with discount, so its wierd that give edu discount on hardware but not software. Go figure.

BTW I ordered my Tiger from Apple Store edu section and I am still going to that event at Apple stores :)

Yeah, they don't give the software discounts at the apple store. Only hardware. You have to order online to get the edu software discounts.

[FelixDerKater]

I'm waiting patiently for it to arrive at the bookstore.

Don't you know? Tiger saves screenshots as .png files now. They are no longer .pdfs.

"We don't give education discounts for software in the store, you have to order it online."

That's the standard Apple line.

And I can understand it for other software, like iWork, iLife, etc... because when you order it with an edu discount you actually get an "Education Version", which is exactly the same as the retail, just with different naming.

But there is no "Education Version" of an operating system, so I don't see why Apple wouldn't make an exception for that.

Boo.

Whine, whine, whine. This argument is completely invalid such that there is zilch for shipping, and you actually stand the chance of getting the product early, like I did, if you order online. If you want something to complain about, complain that viruses are not well enough supported on the Mac.

If you're actually a student, your campus bookstore (if it carries Apple products) will sell you the software with the edu discount. So skip the Apple store and just go there!

[emulator]

I got mine :)
From MacMall?

[Peace]

Am I the only one or are there others that think Apple should ship before MacMall??

I'm a newbie.Cut me some slack :)

<edit> oops!! I've been upgraded from newbie to member!!</edit>

[narco]

I don't know about y'all, but my sister bought the whole Powerbook + iPod deal a few months back, WITH the educational discount, at a local Apple store. All she did is look up her College online at the store, showed her ID and that was it.

Pretty good idea, except that the middle school where my wife works, and the grade school where my sister works don't seem to have campus book stores... nor do any of the high schools where my friends teach... Plenty of people with legitimate educational discounts don't have any recourse but to order it directly from Apple. (Which is no big deal.. I will still go to the shindig to try my luck at the door prizes... and undoubtedly run across something else to buy. Never fails.)

[bbyrdhouse]

Does anyone aout there know if there is a difference between "Tiger retail" and "Tiger Education".

If you go the the Apple store online and go to the education store page and click on OS X Tiger toward the bottom of the page and then do the same on the regular store page you will find different wording in describing OS X Tiger.

ex. from the edu page.

Yes - you can get hardware with edu discount, but not software. I got my ibook with edu discount from the New York store, but had to order iLife '05 online since, as someone else pointed out, the stores don't sell edu discount software.

[Mac_Freak]

Does anyone aout there know if there is a difference between "Tiger retail" and "Tiger Education".



No, I don't think so. Apple is not Microsoft that releases number of diferent version of their lame OS. Difference in wording could be explained by two different tagets, and the fact that there is no edu discount on family pack.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

[...] and the fact that there is no edu discount on family pack.Well... not entirely accurate... I bought a Family Pack with Edu discount... but I was wondering if I was the only one (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=121614)... ;)

[Mac_Freak]

I just browesed through Apple's online store under the edu category and i can't find Tiger Family pack for sale. :( So Ok, I may have been wrong., sorry for any confusion.

You are not wrong, it used to be for sale on the educational store, BUT it was a mistake, and it was soon corrected. The early buyers did get the discounted price though.

Cu!

[MacIke]

Piss & ****. Maybe they only use DHL for AppleCare services.


I am soooooo mad at the $%#(*%*#)@#@)#U$%#%#)()(@#@$&#$*@ people ar DHL / Airborne. These guys are HORRID. I hate sending ANYTHING through them as they will screw it up.

Example:
Monday April 18th - Will pick up (phone call "We are morans and cannot pick up on Tuesday")

Tuesday April 19th - phone call "We will not be able to pickup becasue we are morans." Show up at 1pm and pick up my iPod to send back to Apple.

Wednesday April 20th - Same moran shows up at door to pick up the package they got yesterday.

Thursday April 21 - Find out status. Call the morans, "we can't find your package it should show up, we will call you on Friday."

Friday April 22 - No phone call. My iPod shows back up at my house NEVER delivered to Apple.

Phone call: DHL: We have SH*T for brains.
Me: Duh! Pick up my package.
DHL: We are really morans. But you need us and we will piss on you.
Me: (Here I chewed the person out for 5 minutes, did not swear once)
DHL: Yep we are morans, say is that a doughnut.

Called Apple and they assured me that Tiger ships out Fedex or UPS. I am happy.


DHL SUCKS

I suppose that's true, except that in education, instructors are used to catalogs and online resources to use their educational discounts. Very few places offer an educational discount at a retail store (they exist, but are often hard to find). In fact, most of my friends that teach at high schools often have to use purchase orders from the school itself in order to get supplies, so Apple's website-only deal there isn't bad at all. Since K-12 students don't qualify for the edu discount, the majority of educational purchases are easily at the higher education level, and they have campus bookstores. Of course I'm not defending Apple here--the educational discount should be available at the stores, too. I'd think there's a reason that they don't do it. I wonder what that could be, though.

All that aside, I've been able to use my educational discount at more than one Apple Store in the Bay Area for certain titles. I've since found out that this is a rare occurrence, though, so I guess my perception is off :).

[mklos]

I've had nothing but trouble with DHL/Airborne Express myself.

Everything something ships DHL it never arrives on time. So I have to call them up and they always give me a ******** excuse, such as "Were having a problem with the driver", or "The driver can't find your house", or "The driver ran out of time".

Every single thing that was shipped from DHL has never arrived on time. They're so freakin' useless it isn't funny. I never have any trouble with FedEx or UPS. In fact, I know exactly when they're gonna be at my house as they both come at the same times everytime something is shipped from them. UPS always comes to my house at about 11am, and Fed Ex is always here around either 9am or 1pm.

So I hope to god that Apple doesn't ship Tiger DHL. I'm having it shipped to where I work so hopefully it will be there the day its supposed to.

Agreed. - DHL's Tracking is totally screwed up. - I try to avoid them at all costs. -- As you mentioned FedEx and UPS are always on time. -- They generally both stop by my house between 12 and 1. I wonder what would happen if they both came at the same time. Fedex Guy vs UPS guy in a grudge match. lol that'd be funny.

<Off topic>
Both of my parents worked for the USPS (US postal service) and all the delivery people from various services (Fed Ex, UPS, etc...) were actually all friends and would help each-other out, either giving each-other driving directions or learning when people on the routes were usually home so they could catch customers home to deliver the packages that sort of thing.
but there was a fair amount of teasing. (I got to see it cuz my mom delivered mail on the route where we lived.)
one last note, both my parents (whom never agree on anything) both said that if I ever joined the postal service they would save me the trouble and "go postal on me"
</Off topic>

I'm sure this has been asked before, but if I go into a store and and buy a mac mini (or other computer) will they give me any sort of upgrade coupon or would I be better off to wait until after tiger is officially released?

[recursivejon]

Its nice to see everyone is as anxious as I am. For those of you who supposedly already received your version of tiger could you tell me if the portrait monitor rotation made it into the final build.

I like that they changed the functionality of the display menu back to what it was pre-Panther. I never liked the "display x recent modes."

[blufire]

It seems Apple using DHL as their semi-official courier now... though they still use FedEx once in a while, but I'm a campus rep and everything from Apple (or sent using Apple funds) is shipped via DHL. My experience with DHL hasn't been too bad so far; actually, one of my shipments (from an online store) arrived early via DHL. I agree that their tracking needs some improvement, but overall I haven't had any bad experiences with DHL yet. (Personally, I prefer UPS.)

Yes, the vestigial ADC-type icon is the same . . . which is fine by me. :)

OMG, what will the "widescreen is Jobs' gift to man" folks say about "tallscreen" ??? :eek: :eek:
Tallscreen is part of the Mac's heritage also. It's great to see its return (at least officially supported in OEM hardware).

We'll start seeing third party stands to replace the ones shipped with the aluminum Cinema Displays.
Lots of VESA mounts are available with pivoting right now, so yeah they're already here.

I hope there is a new stand for my iMac G5, I can't wait to turn it on its side. But then How would I put the DVD in? :mad:
Just orient it so the DVD goes in from the top. It might be a stretch to put it in but it won't be any different from how the Cube was (it was top-loading).

I strongly agree the vertical format is a strong (optional) benefit.

BTW is the verified Tiger build the same one that was making the rounds on file sharing services?

Anyone who's installed Tiger on a mini know if it will support screen rotation? I have a vague, vague memory of screen rotation requiring 64mb VRAM.

I'm not holding out much hope, but I work with very loooong images (scanned strips of paper), and screen rotation would make my life just that much easier.

[Androit]

I just realized a rotated screen on a laptop would be awfully like reading a book, especially on smaller models.

[macman81]

For days now I have not been able to access the "My Account" or "Check Order Status" pages at the Apple store, regular and edu. Anyone else having this issue? I get a Bad Server Request page.

Safari on X.3.9

Edit: I just tried with Explorer [yuk], and it worked. ?

I have the exact same issue. Don't know why it keeps happening - so I'm just using my alternate browsers, Camino and Firefox, for the time being. (They work great, esspecially Camino. *almost* better than Safari). Must be a Safari 1.x bug - who knows, maybe it'll be fixed in 2.0. We can hope! :rolleyes:

So get this... I boutght my new 1.67 Ghz 15 inch PB on April 11th. Technically, I don't qualify for the up to date program, however, when I went to the Up-to-date page on Apple.com I put April 12th as the purchase date and it still went through... I'm just wondering if ANYONE could do this or if Apple just give me a little slack because it was only one day... any ideas?

Almost time!!

The 29th is less then 7 days away, and I can say I have never been as excited to buy a new OS EVER in my life!

Now I need to go get a new SATA drive for my new G5. I have been waiting for Tiger to make that my primary Mac, and I want some redundancy in place before I do that.. This is going to be an expensive upgrade week.. New SATA drive, 512 Memory add on, and Tiger :)

You and I are doing the same thing. Got my 300 gig SATA drive tonight to get ready for Tiger on Friday.

6 days to go. I hope Tiger comes in the mail on Friday so I don't end up going to the store and buying it anyway, and then ending up with two copies. This is what happened to me with iLife and iWork.

I am trying to decide if I need THAT much space now.. I was pondering an other 160 and doing a simple mirror, or going 200 or larger, and just Clone a disk image onto the new drive, and still have space to play with..

I hate choices!! ;)

In other news, I cant wait till Friday. I refuse to touch the Tiger till I play with it on the G5s at the Release Event. I'm going to Towson, anyone else here going there? :D

[rockthecasbah]

Got mine day before yesterday. No idea why. Posted some feedback on the widgets on the apple forums and they yanked the post.
Here's a thought, they removed it because it's BS!! :D It's not wise to make a statement like that with only one post, guy.

[rockthecasbah]

A few of you have been talking about screen rotation, but what is it?

[filipp]

A few of you have been talking about screen rotation, but what is it?

Screen rotation is pretty much what it sounds like. You physically rotate your display by, say, 90 degrees and then rotate your desktop accordingly. What you get is a desktop that is taller than it's wide, like a papersheet, perfect for working with newspapers or portrait pictures.

[supergod]

Fellows, screen rotation is Tiger is indeed a go! I just tried it out using my Dell 2005fpw and it works fine. I still can't see using this feature often, especially as it's just inconvenient to rotate the display. I could see this being cool if displays had motors that would allow them to raise and tilt automatically: why not? At least Apple finally brought it back in. Kind of silly though when you realize that their pro displays don't even support this feature without the VESA mount. Also, it's almost dissoreinting having to look at such a tall display (the 30" would be downright nauseating).

Ah, but just think what it would be like to have a 23 in. horizontal and a 20 in. vertical on your desk. Bliss!

Really? That's good to know!

.png is my format of choice for everything image-related :D

png files are good because they have transparency, good for widgets and web stuff. pdfs are still much better for printing.

Only 6 more days of obsessively checking my apple order status... then I get to start obsessively checking DHL (or Fedex!) tracking.

[Elfin Geekster]

Has anyone who has received an Early Tiger had any noteworthy problems?

Such as Bluetooth being deactivated? :confused:
... there has been one report on another website.

QuickTime? :confused:
... other than registration too-early for QuickTime Pro.

Safari problems? :confused:

Mail problems? :confused:

I would imagine that they put this feature back in mainly for the commercial users. Think motion-adverstising in stores that have large monitors/flat screens turned portrait (this is very popular in upscale stores), on television programs in the backgroud (CNN, Fox use a lot of these), Airports, Malls, Etc....

[Cybbe]

QT, Safari and Mail work as they should, no problems so far. I did take a clean install though, so havent tested Safari with plugins etc.

As for rotating the screen, that option is disabled on laptops, at least if you're not using an external monitor. When searching up "rotate" in spotlight (I use Tiger in another language so I'll have to guess the English equivalent used), the "monitor" ( or screen?) pref.pane shows up, but if you choose it you get the message that the tab (the "geometry tab") is disabled because the screen used has no option related to it. So no using an iBook or Powerbook literally as a book.

[Mac_Freak]

You know something guys, I ordered Tiger with 5 day free shipping and I when I look at my order status I see a 2 day shipping. Did Apple just upgraade my shippping for free :) Oh. they really must love me :D . I guess this happen everyone elso though. I guess they are either shipping it later in the week or hopefully we will get it early.

i ordered on friday and see the same thing...

[MacPhreak]

Screen rotation on a mini with a 20" ACD works just fine, no big use until you get a stand that rotates though.

/ f

Excellent, thanks!! I have a 17" Dell Ultrabright that rotates on the supplied stand, and I've been trying to get the display to rotate since I got it and the mini a couple of months ago.

[whenpaulsparks]

maybe the guys that hacked the motion control on powerbooks could hack the preferences and allow screen rotation, then whenever you tilt your PB on its side, it would rotate the screen, but literally rotate it, like in preferences. thatd be hot.

but then, of course, all of you punks have new powerbooks, i have a TiBook. so not like i'd be able to use it. but i still love what you can do with that.

[bellis1]

Any confirmation on screen rotation for the iMac G5. Maybe I'll finally put in an order for that VESA adapter. It will probably get here the same time as my copy of Tiger.

[primalman]

Try Firefox. Its nicer than IE & works for everything on my Macs. I use several websites that will not work with Safari. For that reason I've stopped using Safari on a regular basis early last January.

Bill the TaxMan

Duh, browsing with my butt is nicer and more stable than IE. :)

Two notes:

1 - This is the first time in over a year that I have experienced a website [actually one specific area] that would not work with Safari, this includes banks, shopping and "IE only" sites.

2 - It is at Apple's own store site. My suspicion in that this is a new phenonenon, this error, and it has something to do with Safari, possibly from specific ISP issues, as others are reporting Safari is A-OK.

My home DSL [Qwest] went down Friday :( , as did most all of the region, and is still not up. I have a hunch that some of the internet issues I have been having [slow email access, severe lag in games and connecting to websites and dropped servers], are possibly due to the ongoing networking issues at Qwest. This Server Error may be resultive of that.

Who knows.

[JackSYi]

I don't know what this means but, The amount for Tiger came up today on my Online Bank Account statement; could this mean, they are about to ship???

[Mac_Freak]

I don't know what this means but, The amount for Tiger came up today on my Online Bank Account statement; could this mean, they are about to ship???

Does it still says "Processing Order" on your Apple.com order status? :confused:

[darwen]

I saw a picture from someone who bought their Tiger at Club Mac and already recieved it.

I called up club mac and they guy said he had not heard of shippments going out yet but he would check. He came back on the phone laughing, apparently one of their distributers screwed up and sent it out early. Those who recieved it were by mistake.

[EANx]

My order status just changed to preparing to ship.

EANx when did you order yours? I ordered mine at 9:43am and it still does not say that :\

[thrillz3]

My order status just changed to preparing to ship.
:D :D :D

When did you order? Where are you located? EDU by any chance?

[JackSYi]

Does it still says "Processing Order" on your Apple.com order status? :confused:

Nope, its still Processing Order as of 10:38AM, but I will be checking back periodically. You know what you guys? This usually happens with my orders on store.apple.com, when they are about to ship something I ordered, they charge my bank account, hence it comes up on the online statement (BofA), then once the payment goes through, they ship it, hence Preparing to Ship/Shipped. Sweet, I hope I am right.

[Peace]

My order status just changed to preparing to ship.

My order just went from Processing Shipment to Preparing Shipment also :D

Peace,

Mine is preparing shipment now too, and it is also 2-day! Wow. i wonder, if it will be "preparing shipment," for 2-3 days, or if it will really ship today or tomorrow? It would be nice to have it a day or two early. :)

Not real sure since my bank hasn't been charged yet.In my state a company can't charge your account until physical shipment occurs.

I'm hopin to get an email from Apple sometime today tho!! :)

[avah12]

Mine is also preparing shipment. Ordered on the announcement day. I also have 2 day shipping, which assuming the box comes from anywhere in CA shouldn't take too long to arrive in Los Angeles.

Mine still says "Processing," but then I ordered at 12:30 on the 12th (after a lot of people had probably put in orders). Hopefully it goes to "Preparing to ship" today. I want Tiger to be waiting for me at home when I get back there from college.

[MattG]

Mine still says "Processing Order." Guess that's what I get for ordering late ;)

But eh, still says it will ship by the 28th regardless. I have no doubt I'll have it Friday :)

[Patch^]

wtf is up with my order? i ordered mine the day it was annouced and my order status still says open?! :(, o well it should get to me eventually, ive waited months for it, i guess waiting another few days won't hurt....*sigh*

[ShiggyMiyamoto]

w00t w00t!! My status changed to preparing shipment as well!! I can't wait!!I bet I'll have it by like Thursday or so! ^_^

[JackSYi]

SWEET! My order status is also PREPARING SHIPMENT NOW!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!

[boogieman]

Mine had said shipped and I went jumping around the house and shouting then later went back and the ****** said preparing.. I hate that I about cried.

[JackB79]

Crap now I just feel cheated. I mean I ordered at 9:42 am EST I think less than an hour after it was announced and mine doesn't say preparing order. What a pile of dung. I guess more waiting for me. Just wondering which one of my orders will arrive first so I can return the other one.

[Skull21]

Sweet, mine says preparing shipment :D

[Mac_Freak]

I ordered mine on 04/22 this past Friday and it too says Preparing Shipment. Wahhoooo!! :D

[NEENAHBOY]

Preparing shipment, 2-day shipping. Bank hasn't been charged yet, either.

[meno mosso]

Ordered mine on 4/14:

[pfresh85]

Where are you guys shipping to (like what state)? Because I ordered on the 12th, and mine is still on the "Processing Order." I live in Texas though, and I think there's an Apple distribution center or something in the state (which might account for later shipment).

[sintax]

I ordered on the first possible day and mine says it is still processing as well. Austin area here.

[JackSYi]

I live in Santa Barbara, CA, and I ordered my copy on 4/12 at around 9am, and my order status is now at Preparing Shipment.

[mac friend]

My order (Education) now says Preparing Shipment. I live in Michigan, and Apple normally ships out of Pennsylvania. If it's like the ear phones I ordered lated Fri. afternoon, they went out Fri. nite. Apple is shipping 2nd day, so it should be here Wed. or Thurs!

[Duujo]

Trying to check order status on the Aussie Apple site and i get this:


"Thank you for shopping at the Apple Online Store

Apple's Online and phone Order Status services are temporarily unavailable due to a scheduled upgrade to our systems.

We apologize for any inconvenience."



??? ..coouuld that be an upgrade to my order status as well!?!

PS- i'm a little concerned about my order not shipping early at all, 'cause we had a public holiday here on Monday, and that's bound to set back things one day..
oh well!

[arkmannj]

When did you order? Where are you located? EDU by any chance?


Mine changed to "preparing shipment" also. I am in Salt Lake City Utah USA and my 2 copies are Educational.

[makey]

Just ordered Tiger a few minutes ago. It already says that I will be receving this and a few other products on or before 4/28. :) :)

[powerbook911]

I have a feeling it might say "preparing shipment," for a couple days, until they ship them. I doubt they'd ship them today via 2-day, for that would get to us too soon. :(

[digitalboi@mac.]

I purchased an EDU version from the Apple Online store on 4/12/05 @ 6:39am PST. The online store still lists my status as "Processing Order" but when I called Apple the agent said that it was infact "Preparing Shipment" but because of all the trafic their site is getting it is taking longer than usual for the order statuses to get updated. So for all of you that ordered it early and still have the "processing order" status you might try calling them, chances are that the status just has not updated yet.

P.S. she said that the delivery date was set for 4/28...one day prior to the offical release date.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

[ShiggyMiyamoto]

WTF does this mean?

"Did not receive any response from application. It is possible that the application does not exist, or that the requested url is incorrect."

When I reload the status page it says that..

What gives? O_o

[bellis1]

It has been preparing all day. I checked so many times I think I messed something up and had to delete the most recent cookies. I'm in New Orleans and think it ships out of memphis so I may be "preparing" another day or two. I better start archiving now because I want a clean install from all the junk I've tried to install in my computer in the past year.




edit: Yeah lol, page 16 punks!

[EANx]

I just talked to Apple Customer Service and they told me that once "Preparing Shipment" appears, it will ship out within 12 to 24 hours.

In my case, that would probably be tomorrow.

You are right, mine still says processing, but if I go into order details, it lists it as coming 4/28, a day early. WOOT!!

I wanted the edu price too, so I ordered it online, but you can be sure I'll be at the Apple store on Friday.

[JackB79]

I would call and ask about my status but they must be getting hammered from customers so I think I won't I mean whats a few days right?


Then again if its not delivered by fri at 2:30pm I won't get it till mon and that would piss me off

I agree. I'd be annoyed as well if I'd have to wait until Monday of next week...

[Multimedia]

I have made it to Preparing Shipment. Whoopie!!! :p

[mudman]

Mine is still "Open" :(. I am in the UK.
Has anyone's status changed to Preparing Shipment in the UK? :confused:

[crackrock]

Preparing shipment now!

[rat19]

I'm the UK and mine still says processing shipment when I check on the US site. However I was speaking to Apple this morning and they said that they are aiming for delivery on 29th you live in the UK. So its not guaranteed but that is what they are aiming for

[gatorron]

Just FYI:

My 1GB iShuffle quit working, still under warranty. Used Apple's on-line warranty process last Monday morning about 9 a.m. Eastern. The replacement unit arrived via DHL at friggin' 3:30 p.m. TUESDAY!

That's like 30-hour customer service. Does it get any better? Everything else I've ever bought from Apple came via Fed Express, and I never received anything that fast.

Of course, this wasn't a purchase, it was a warranty issue. Still, it indicated to me that:

1) Apple has warranty replacements staged around the country, and contacts the DHL regional office for pickup on day of order, making delivery possible the next.

2) Perhaps the same is being done for the Tiger packages. Maybe the "processing order" was about moving Tiger pkgs in bulk to regional staging locations where each could then be scanned as "Preparing for Shipment."

3) Looks like Apple is highly sensitive to past complaints about shipping problems. I know I never expected my iMac G5 to be delivered "in four weeks," but it was.

I read on a UK forum (http://www.macworld.co.uk/forums/msgs.cfm?msg=50278&forum=1) that they won't be shipping Tiger until Friday!

So, with the Bank Holiday weekend it will Tuesday at the earliest. :(

I really hope they are shipping for delivery on 29th.

I've just read that too, seems people are getting conflicting stories from Apple. Anyway as I said its not guaranteed its what they are aiming for.

All fingers crossed for delivery on Friday!

finally they are preparing mine for shipment... so hopefully today it ships and get it by thursday because I've got nothing to do that night

[pfresh85]

Mine finally moved to "Preparing Shipment" sometime this morning. So looks like it may get to my house on Thursday. Good stuff.

[warriorpear]

Think happy thoughts. There is a major shipping hub in Harrisburg (I think) so Apple items tend to arrive next day (independent of shipping type). I have ordered items for ground at 9:00 pm and they arrive next day...

I think I feel a bout of cholera coming on... might not be able to make it in on Wednesday. :eek:

It would be so awesome if it shipped out today!

[powerbook911]

They aren't going to be shipped out today. Even those of us who went to "preparing shipment" on Monday haven't shipped. They are going to ship Wednesday via 2-day service. They probably went to preparing shipment, for they are now boxed and ready to be picked up, on wednesday. Apple doesn't want us to get these early. :(

[Zaty]

Tiger is on it's way!

[powerbook911]

Tiger is on it's way!

Zaty,

Did you order from Apple online?

What about others with U.S. order? You know people say the online order status is slow to change, so maybe someone could call Apple, and ask them, if they have the tracking number, for the order. Maybe they've shipped, and we don't know it. However, in the U.S., I just can't see them shipping until wednesday.

[Zaty]

Zaty,

Did you order from Apple online?



Yes

Edit: My order is not yet on TNT's tracking system so perhaps it hasn't been given to TNT yet. Unlike US orders, if Apple wants me to have Tiger on Friday, they have to ship it tomorrow morning.

[mambodancer]

Apple preshipped Tiger to their retail stores last week so that they would be available for sale at 6pm this Friday...I'm waiting in line at the Applestore to get mine.

I can bet that everyone who had their order status at Preparing to Ship, had their copies ship already, earlier today, and now, they are going to update the status on the online status.

MY TIGER CAME TODAY! I'M ON IT RIGHT NOW!























j/k.

[crackrock]

Unavailable...

Maybe it'll say shipped soon!

[powerbook911]

I wonder, if they would consider shipping today (Tuesday), so that most would get it Thursday, and then, if there was a screw-up, there is still Friday for it to be redelivered. This would prevent people from going out on Friday, buying Tiger in stores, and then refusing/returning Apple.com order.

[uncle_sam_ie]

I just got an e-mail from Apple telling me that my order has been dispatched. The expected delivery time for it is 2-3 days. I'm in the Rep of Ireland, so were is my order be dispatched from? :)

We only hope. What I do not understand though, is that mine says that it will be delevered the latest on 4/28. Yet, last time I checked before the maintance it just said "Preparing Shipment". In order for it to be delvered, it would have already had to have been shipped by now.

[JackB79]

We'll just wait and see... I think after fielding so many calls about Tiger over the past week about when it's shipping they wanted to give their customer support a lil break.

Check back in the AM maybe the system is back up... it probably buckled under all the stress. I mean imagine the normal load plus the 2million people who pre-ordered on top of that and thats allot of stuff to get going. :\

[MacIke]

Methinks something is brewing.

Apple order statis

www.apple.com/orderstatus

is currently offline undergoing "upgrades" in other words all the people who ordered Tiger are being processed and to not slow down the system with a moran like me checking the orderstatus every hour. I think in the AM (Currently 10pm CDT - Chicago Time) we will find that everything is shipping.

And I agree I hope we all get it on Thursday. I will still go to my Applestore, which is 2.5 hours away on Friday.

[NEENAHBOY]

Still unavailable an hour later. This is taking a long time.

[aussie_geek]

hahaha!!

Had to post - mine is preparing for shipment! :D

Any other aussie's want to confirm their order status??

[JackSYi]

So, if Apple hasn't shipped them out yet, which I doubt, I guess we will be getting them on Friday. :(

[Dalriada]

My Nokia just buzzed telling an e-mail arrived... yes Tiger just SHIPPED... Gonna be a long sleepless weekend ahead :D

EDIT: they mention 3 days delivery so not sure where shipped from !??

[JackB79]

Order status for the US apple store is still down... wow thats a long upgrade

[JackB79]

Apple Store is closed it'll be back shortly... G5 Powerbooks? Maybe the iWalk making a debut or just new powermacs what do you think?

[amberashby]

Order status page is working again, but unfortunately mine still says "preparing to ship". I am very sad. :(

[digitalboi@mac.]

The order status page is back online, but alas they are still "Preparing Shipment"
Has anyone in the US gone to a shipped status that ordered from apple direct?

[micvog]

I ordered at 7:27A (California time) on 4/12 and my status still shows "Preparing Shipment".

FWIW, it is being shipped to southern California and I used the Apple Online Store which has a special discount page (17% in the case of Tiger, usually 6% for everything else) for my employer.

I got the shipping notification email about two hours ago and it does show on TNT's tracking page! Jippii!

[JackSYi]

Checked at 8:00am this morning, unfortunately still Preparing Shipment; I guess we will get it on Friday after all.

[pfresh85]

I started receiving this message this morning: "Did not receive any response from application. It is possible that the application does not exist, or that the requested url is incorrect."

It seemed others had this problem as well. I tried clearing my history and all my cookies, and it still pops up. So I'm not sure what's up really.

[Peace]

Mine says 2Day shipping.If I'm gonna get Tiger on Friday like they promised it better ship out today otherwise it won't arrive till Monday. :mad:

[Abercrombieboy]

Mine just shipped this morning from Apple. It is with FedEx (2 day service) and the est. delivery is Friday, Apr. 29th by 4:30PM!

[mac friend]

My order has said Preparing Shipment since Monday evening! I was sure it would have shipped yesterday. (Then, since I couldn't access the order status last night to late this morning, I was sure it would have shipped in that time.) Count me as disappointed, since I was looking forward to getting it on 4/28! (It still shows 2-day shipping.)

[Abercrombieboy]

The order status page is back online, but alas they are still "Preparing Shipment"
Has anyone in the US gone to a shipped status that ordered from apple direct?

Mine just shipped with FedEx 2 day. I got the notice about 30 mins ago on my email.

What did your "estimated ship by" say before it shipped?

[stoid]

Mine says 2Day shipping.If I'm gonna get Tiger on Friday like they promised it better ship out today otherwise it won't arrive till Monday. :mad:

This would be a very bad thing for me, as the lease on my apartment is up this weekend and I'm moving out to a house (still my college town). If it waits until Monday to get there, I will no longer be living there to recieve it. Would FedEx change shipping location to a house about 6 blocks away if this happens?

[Abercrombieboy]

What did your "estimated ship by" say before it shipped?

On or before the 28th.

[RonJ83]

just got a confirmation email that my "tiger" has been shipped, this is sweet, i check off ground shipping, cause it was free and im in no rush, but the invoice showed Fedex Express! im so syked!!!!

[nesbitt_a]

Anyone seeing up-to-date Tiger shipping yet. My two orders are still sitting at "Open".

[Abercrombieboy]

Yeah mine was the free shipping option as well on the Edu. price.

Yeah, I got the same messsage today. Well it all works now. Saddly mine still says "Preparing Shipment":(

[RonJ83]

gotta love being a student! 69 bucks!

[ShiggyMiyamoto]

It still says preparing shipment for me... @_@;;; It's estimated to arrive tomorrow (the 28th)... Please Apple.. please....

[Abercrombieboy]

gotta love being a student! 69 bucks!

Well actually I am a teacher. But I still love the discount.

can you look at your order details and find out what day & time you placed your order?
THANKS!

[Noiseboy]

Does any of you folks who already have Tiger know whether Apple have finally upgraded iSync so that it will talk to a lot more phones, particularly the Nokia 7610 in my case, that use the new(ish) syncML technology. I would find it hard to believe that they could have released an upgrade of such proportion that doesn't include syncing technology that would bring it into line with the majority of new moblie phones. It would in fact be pathetic :(

[Mac_Freak]

well it si going to be bad if it arrives on Friday afternoon, because then I might not have enought time to be able to install the system in time to go to that apple event.
The store is like 50min to 1h away. So I will have to leave about 5PM.:(

[mudman]

Mine is still "Open" :(. I am in the UK.
Has anyone's status changed to Preparing Shipment in the UK? :confused:
I have to repeat what i posted. :mad:
But I am happy for you guys :)

The 7610 is supported.

Place your bets that Apple UK will screw this one up like they did with Panther... :rolleyes:

OMG!!! WHY IS APPLE MESSING WITH OUR HEADS?!?!? JUST SEND OUR COPIES OUT ALREADY!!!

[powerbook911]

April 21, 2005, 8:43PM.

I ordered the 12th, and mine hasn't shipped.

May I ask you another question? Have you tracked it with the Fedex number yet? Where is it shipping from? I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

[powerbook911]

[JackSYi]

If it doesn't ship today, that means, I won't get it till probably Monday, that means, I will be buying a copy at a local Apple reseller. :(

[Jeff Barlow]

I ordered mine on the morning of the 12th and it still hasn't shipped! :confused:

[ghoman]

If it doesn't ship today, that means, I won't get it till probably Monday, that means, I will be buying a copy at a local Apple reseller. :(

I called into the Apple Store today to check when my order (placed on the 12th) might ship. The guy who I talked to told me that they were now being told that Tiger will not ship until the 29th. I complained that when I originally ordered it said it would be delivered by the 29th. He said he was not sure why the change had been made but that the higher ups were now saying there would be no shipments until the 29th.

CRAP!

I'm not going to go out and buy the thing in a store on Friday (mainly because I ordered with an education discount) but this really chaps my behind. This is BAD customer service at its finest.

I was really hoping to have time this coming weekend to rebuild my iMac, but it now looks like I won't even get it delivered until next week sometime. Not good.

[page3]

My order has just shipped. So, UK orders are on their way :)

[applemax]

[applemax]

[Fredstar]

:D - Yeah, calm down. My order has said "Preparing to ship" for 4 days now. Apparently doesn't mean a thing. Sorry, don't mean to burst the happy bubble there.

[Zaty]

I got my shipping confirmation yesterday, this afternoon the tracker said pick up date April 27. Now it has been changed to April 28. Now I fear I won't be getting Tiger on Friday.

[Chimera]

i ordered mine on the announcement day, but the order status is still OPEN today, just 2 days left.... :( and Apple has already charged my credit card

If you check your status on the USA Apple Store you will see something different, I imagine if they have charged your card it will have shipped. :)

[MattQiu]

check your status on the us store. it will give you more detail

oh yeah... it says Preparing shipment on the us store!!! :D hope they can ship it tomorrow

[digitalboi@mac.]

April 21, 2005, 8:43PM.

Thats annoying, I ordered mine on the 12th @ 6:39am pst...did you use the EDU discount by chance?

[john_satc]

If you check your status on the USA Apple Store you will see something different, I imagine if they have charged your card it will have shipped. :)

If you have been charged it will have shiped. At least thats what I was told by phone. paying by credit card, they won't charge you until its shipped.

[applemax]

I ordered mine on the 12th at 8:15 AM PST with the EDU discount.

[Panoctopi]

Just checked my Tiger order and it shipped from Memphis estimated arrival in Atlanta for Friday at 4:30 p.m. Good thing too 'cause I was starting to feel nervous and having doubts...

[NevadaJack]

Shipped with FedEx tracking #, 2 days shipping. I sometimes receive overnight if shipped from California. Ordered 4/12/05 at 8:26AM PDT :D

Now if they would just tell us when the new iMac will be shipping...I will have two copies of Tiger!

[Noiseboy]

The 7610 is supported.

Well, did it ship from California? Does the Fedex tracking tell you where it is right now? Thanks! :)

[Peace]

I just got off the phone wilth a real nice rep and she told me Apple already shipped Tiger overnight to the various FedEx facilities on the 26th.Apple told FedEx to make sure all customers received Tiger on the 29th..
So whether or not your status is shipped,preparing or whatever you WILL get it on the 29th email or not :)

Thanks for the info, but it would help to see that my order has shipped, instead of preparing order. :(

Where is my Tiger?

[retrospek]

Yay - my UK order for Tiger has finally shipped from Apple.

Come on TNT be quick :D

Mark.

[MacIke]

My Tiger is on the way.

As of 12:46pm it was in the hands of fedex at Memphis.

[djl]

God dammit - this is seriously annoying! I ordered mine on the 12th for christs sake...ah well this kinda stuff always happens to me, will probably get it next wednesday :)

Looks like its a job for AppleCare. If I am correct, they willl have to replace the display in order to fix that hook in the latch. :(

[mikegoldnj]

Mine has said "preparing shipment" since yesterday. Package from Apple Store arrived this morning.

Well was it Tigre or just something else you ordered?

[mikegoldnj]

My wife didn't open it before she left this morning, but I haven't ordered anything else from Apple.

11:30 pm: My wife said the package was from Apple.....nope....it was from SONY!

But I did get shipping email from Apple!

[makey]

I certainly hope that will be the result. Yes, happy times ahead.

We are all crossing our fingers. C'mon Apple do not let us loyal customers down.

[Abercrombieboy]

I just checked and it shipped from Memphis, TN and it is already at another city now!!! Woo Hoo!!! I guess Apple does not ship first come first serve, because I ordered over a week after you, but I bet yours is on it's way.

[ShiggyMiyamoto]

Mine still says "Preparing Shipment".. -_-

Order Date:
04/18/2005 @ 05:57 PM PST

-_-..... Come on already and at least show that it's been shipped... It's been on preparing since Monday night or so.... I hope as well that it changes tonight to "Shipped". I'm gonna be excited as hell when that happens. ^_^;; I'm gonna be checking its tracking every half hour! ^_^

Thanks Peace. That's good to know. I'm still sorta anxious to tame this new beast though.. >_>;;

[retrospek]

I've been traking mine . It's now in Nuneaton.

How have you managed to track it ? I've tried the Apple TNT Ref. number on the TNT website but it keeps saying not found.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong ? Do I have another way to track as I want to make sure I'm home to sign for the delivery...

Thanks,
Mark
