Glad to see that progress is being made, and bugs are being fixed.

FP?

I hope they do something about the colors in iChat profiles that change after a few times of using them. (AIM profiles, that is)

Lucky736 · Jul 29, 2005, 02:27 PM

Maybe they can fix the bug that only lets mail load parts of an email.

A partial workaround (doesn't work on every affected message) for that one: show full headers

so far i haven't had any "bugs" with tiger, if you told me that was it, i would be perfectly happy

Appleinsider mention something about a new Widget manager widget - anyone got any news on what has been changed from the current Widget manager?

Maybe one that actually works for everyone.

If you reread the article, they are refering to the widget manager added in 10.4.2.

I know some people will claim this as proof that Tiger wasn't ready for release but I'm just glad Apple are working hard at further polishing the OS. There seems to have been a fair few complaints regarding Tiger but I've had next to no issues from 10.4.0. Still looking forward to 10.4.3 though!

munkle · Jul 29, 2005, 02:34 PM

To the people reporting their issues on this thread, I hope you're telling Apple about them too.

I'm not desperate for .3 but I've had more problems with the system freezing under 10.4.2 than I had under 10.4.0 or 10.4.1. It's still not doing it regularly enough to troubleshoot causes - but it's done it twice more than it did under early Tiger.

The more I read about others experiences with Tiger the luckier I feel! Cursed iPhoto bug aside, everything has been pretty peachy for me, touch wood!

qzak · Jul 29, 2005, 03:05 PM

i've had no problems with .1, so haven't upgraded to .2 yet. after hearing all the mac fanatics rant on about how much you have to keep patching/upgrading windows i'm suprised at the steady strain of updates for OS X. of course an OS won't be perfect when u release it, but wasn't .2 supposed to knock out most of the remaining bugs, now they say .3 fixes at least 40 more.

aaanyway, back to the point, yeah .1 works just fine for me personally, so probably stay with that till .3 comes out

Likewise until 10.4.2 (which I have to have to get rid of the cursed iPhoto bug) when this odd freezing started. One app beachballs and then the whole system does... bizarre! And then my modem didn't like the Airport update the next night but that at least is an identifiable bug which can be resolved by resorting to the earlier firmware.

raggedjimmi · Jul 29, 2005, 03:00 PM

I've been getting some long pauses in 10.4.2, more so when i leave the system on for a while. i've just broke my uptime record and ive been on for 8 days 7 hours now and frequently Finder, Garageband and Safari sort of 'freeze'. not the absolute freeze Windows gets, just the beachball thing.

Tiger works great for me, too - stable, reliable. My office marvels at Spotlight. It blows them away to spend hours searching for things that I now find in mere moments.

chevyorange · Jul 29, 2005, 06:46 PM

I've had flawless Tiger operation. The only things I "feel" negatively about is some major slow downs in one account on my wife's iBook but I think that has something to do with software or a preference somewhere.

Perhaps it is just that I'm used to a Dual G5 PM and the ol' G4 PB really is just flat slower.

I do, as always, look forward to any update that Apple puts out though.

seashellz · 04:12 PM

I seem to recall that OS 9 and before usually had no more than 2 patches each.
Now each release of OS X has 10 of them (or more) if you count the 'security updates') ie 10.3.9 + 5 security updates.
Apple-you dropped the ball on the rollout of Panther, and now Tiger.
You had better get it together if you want to wipe Longhorn...er, Virus-ta™ off the map.

Its not very pleasant when you work to convince a friend or colleague to jump to the Mac, only to have to then explain away why it is so buggy.

Saying 'Well, Windows is buggy, too' is not the kind of excuse you want to make when someone begins to wonder about the wisdom of making the switch, or to doubt your judgement...

And I find it halarious that people rationalize this by saying "Wow! APPLE is really taking care of business!"

If APPLE were REALLY on the ball, you wouldnt NEED to be seeing more than an update or two per OS increment.

Saying that 'Windows is no better' is a cop-out.
Mac is supposed to be far superior to Windows, not simply just 'as good as' in terms of stability, security and reliability.

pubwvj · Jul 29, 2005, 09:11 PM

Will this be the one??? We're still using 10.4.0 because 10.4.2 sounded like it had so many problems. 10.4.1 we missed and I haven't tried getting it since 10.4.0 seems stable. So... late September maybe - after it is fully tested on bleeding edge types who like to give blood.

scu · Jul 29, 2005, 11:05 PM

Now just a little closer to allowing this big pussycat into my computer.

CaptainScarlet · Jul 30, 2005, 12:04 AM

Tiger for me has been OK....

BUT!!!

They really really really need to fix the superdrive problems...

Where I can't read CD-R disks or burn certain types of manufactures' disks.

I can burn Apple DVD-R's...almost all others do not work for me

The Superdrive that came with the Dual 2.5 (at home) was the SONY DVD RW DW-U21A.

That drive is where I'm having problems, since installing tiger.

I have a dual 1.8 at work with the Pioneer superdrive and I have better luck burning from there...

It's almost a MAJOR point for me to go back to 10.3.9...Which just plainly sucks!!!

I love tiger...now I'm not sure what the fark I'm going to do...

Cheers

you may try to take the driver froom panther and replace the Tiger one with them. look inside /System/library/extension it's probably there some where. Get the system info to have more detail to pick the right driver.

Keep a copy of the Tiger one just in case!
