I'v worked fairly extensively in iPhoto and had no crashes at all. I'm using iPhoto 5.0.2.

amen


other strange things are with QT7 not being smooth. But i hope this update comes soon. I'd be curious of what bugs it fixes.
 
QT7 is looking really, really awesome, but so far it seem to be the buggiest thing about Tiger. Other than a few little graphics bugs from time to time in Dashboard, nothing major yet.
 
This is one of the reasons why I didn't buy Tiger right away. ;) Let the initial bugs get worked out, and then grab the .1 version. Good to see Apple is addressing these so promptly (of course, they pretty much have to!)

For most of those who say that Tiger has given them NO problems, I say this: You haven't done everything there is to do in Tiger yet, then. Because there ARE bugs. Whether or not you've encountered them is entirely due to you, but they are there. We all got the same build of Tiger shipped out to us and they do exist. Have no worries. Apple will take care of them.

Thats not necessarily true. I've had very few problems with two of my systems, but an older G4 tower is showing bugs all over the place. So it might depend on your configuration.
 
I also don't like how the World Clock widget takes 2 seconds to load up its face for me.

I have very few problems with Tiger so far, none of which are really bugs with the OS. I have tried most of the new features and use apps like Mail and QT a lot.

I had a few problems with apps compiling with GCC 4, but 3.3 is still available and using it fixed the problems.

Thats really it, all my other apps either work fine, or are not compatible with tiger yet.
 
I wonder if this will fix Virtual PC's switch problem, or if that needs to addressed by MS.

I doubt that these will ever change, but it bugs me that if I want to slideshow something, I have to do it from right clicking, and I can't do it from the file menu. I've always seen the right click menu as a subset of the file menu... maybe that's just me... then again Apple never sticks to their conventions (like how some apps close when you hit the red x, others don't, or how the mail app looks).
 
I keep getting insufficient bandwidth when trying to initiate a video chat. This is odd because I have Road Runner Premium.

Toast needs an update too. I had to try and copy a disk on the quick yesterday only to realize that Toast cannot do this yet in Tiger, but that one is not Apple fault.

I don't like the way Spotlight indexes iPhoto pictures. It should hide anything with "Original" in the name so I don't get duplicates of every silly picture I have edited in iPhoto. Also, iPhoto should give us the ability to rename files and not just titles that way we can actually use spotlight to find pictures. System preferences should not randomly turn the input volume from my iSight down. Network should find PC workgroups other than "Workgroup" as it was able to do in 10.3. I am back to using Connect to Server. Perhaps this new .Mac should work also... Oh well, I knew what I was doing getting in on the ground floor of this deal...

Other than that Tiger is decent.

Now this is what I'm talking about! This is so damn annoying, even sometime going to Open With doesn't work. :mad:

Anyone else think this is critically stupid? A patch released to developers within a week of the OS being released? Bitch all you want about MS but their Consumer Beta Program is a cool idea that Apple should really consider adopting because it sounds as if this release is in response to complaints post release. If Apple had a generic beta program they could probably iron out a lot more of these bugs before the OS goes GM.

Yep. And we all know how well their beta program worked when XP SP2 was released eh? :rolleyes: Nobody had any major issues with that update right? :p

Sorry for the sarcasm, but in all seriousness, Tiger has far fewer issues than the last major Windows release did by a long shot. That being said, I'm sure we'll all feel much better once 10.4.1 comes along as there are definitely some bugs in the initial release that need to be ironed out.

That's a very good point. I can't wait to see how well their beta program works when (if) Longhorn is realeased. Can't you just hear the complaints already? :D
 
not a Tiger bug

I haven't been able to do this since 10.3.7 (possibly before) and can't now in 10.3.9 so it isn't a Tiger bug only. I'd reinstall CS but it's not all that big a hassle - yet.
 
My only issue is iSync working with the Motorola v551 phone. I bought it because Apple advertised it as compatible with Tiger and it is one of the few phones that will work with Acura's bluetooth. I'm not holding my breath.

This is exactly the same update schedule used for Panther; 10.3.1 came out a bit more than two weeks after Panther was released, then 10.3.2 followed a month after 10.3.1. Keep in mind that 10.4.0 was frozen for release 5 weeks ago; 10.4.1 has been in the works since then, not since last Friday.
 
iPhoto

I, too, sure hope they fix iPhoto. Beyond the crashing, if I edit a picture in any way (say, crop), iPhoto is saving the picture with over-saturated reds and highlights. I can watch it happen: I edit, then click to close the edit window or move to another photo, and just before the picture closes, the reds blow out. It makes my prints look awful, and essentially renders iPhoto's editing features unusable right now. Needless to say, this bizarre stuff wasn't happening in Panther. Anybody else seeing this? If it's widespread, it doesn't seem like an acceptable bug to ship Tiger with.
 
I am new to the Apple Seed program. I am wondering if I install this, will I still be able to install the final 10.4.1 over that?

18 days 17 hours for me right now....:) A few app crashes the first day (during the spotlight update I copied my entire mp3 library from an external disk and that blew the finder). other than that and 3rd party apps this is a rock.

That's not a Tiger bug, per se. Tiger introduces a major network kext api change that breaks a lot of 3rd party network-related apps/features. That's why VPN, firewall and various other network apps are broken on Tiger. The problem is, M$ is going to take their good sweet time fixing VPC.
