Tiger INSTALLED
The shot of the manual in front of the G5 was done yesterday when I
received Tiger...I shot most of the others today when I got Tiger on the PB.
I installed Vonage last week and just got a .wav on my email saying it was a mistake, but several other copies had gone out...I don't want to give the person's name or get them in trouble.
I just did a quick search under the word "log" and there is no installer log !
Does it now have a new name ? It's running fine...but still busy with other things on the G5.

edesignuk said:In what way? What did they say it would be like?
I think he was referring to whether or not build 8a428 is infact the retail GM.
yes that is what i meant. i just wanted confirmation from someone who has the actual retail box.toneloco2881 said:
on another note, the original article about the GM build was was appleinsider, but apple legal took it down

PB Specs on Tiger Machine
Basic 1.25 GHz 15" aluminum...just more RAM...neat the way there's a sound of crunching paper as the trash empties...haven't had that much time to play with it given 4 large prints on the G5 and running TT and DW...going to sleep
but have to bite the bullet and decide about nuking the G5 system tomorrow.
Uuugh. Oh, well.

Its weird. I just got my copy, but it doesn't seem to work correctly in my eMac. I'll start up with the OSX install DVD, and after the part where I select the language I want to use, it just sits there for about 3 minutes, and then it shuts my eMac off.
I don't have anything strange plugged in (i unplugged the net connection as well as my printer), so I don't know whats going on. The disc doesn't look scratched or anything.

Tiger Now on G5
...no need to apologize...even when I opened the box and saw it --Tiger -- I still doubted it !
As for the saga of getting it on my G5 that had a partition problem...I want to honor the system, so I'm nuking the internal system partition and doing a clean install...better now than have hassles later.

Tiger Is on My G5
One word of advice...when the DVD boots you lose your wireless (BT) mouse.
A screen came up showing what looked like batteries being inserted in, but it didn't work for me so I put in my old USB mouse and keyboard temporarily. Of course you can get it back.
Tiger is running now on my G5...ended up doing a full fresh install, and now having to bring in prefs, reinstall certain programs.
I'll be in Wash., DC Tuesday evening doing a talk at the Charles Sumner School around 7 PM--if there are doubters still, show up and I'll let you have a look at it on my PB.
Spotlight is great, Mail is great...but I'm going to be busy next day getting ready for DC--sorry I didn't do speed tests before and after...but that's sort of meaningless to me. I love Apple, and I can't wait to get up and running with iChat.

So not that I'm one of them, but what about all those people Apple sold a mac to recently, since they started pushing the wirless combo where you get a really good deal on BT/wireless kb/wireless mouse but no wired HW?
Apparently they don't read http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/vniow said:
There were a couple of people who have reported accidently receiving copies of Tiger too soon. The retailers seem to ask for them back, threaten the customer by saying Apple won't support their machine if they install, then promise free goodies for the trouble. It's kinda funny if you think about it.
You know, up until Steve Jobs smites them, as he is known to often do.
Keynote 2.0.1 and Tiger
One interesting sidenote to my fresh install of Tiger on my G5--I installed Keynote 2.0 from a disk, and cannot update to 2.0.1.
My assumption is that rather than compound the problem, Apple has chosen to have Tiger "deny" the update. On the other hand, as I did a simple Tiger "upgrade" on my laptop, I can run KN 2.0.1 on it as the Keynote update was done under 10.3.8.
I think I read somewhere that a KN 2.0.1 file would not play on KN 2.0, which could make for some interesting situations...I have yet to test this or determine if there is some other reason Keynote would not update to 2.0.1 on
a pure Tiger install.

There is definitely an option, for anything that is installed by the package installer (not drag and drop) to only let users upgrade on a certain OS build range. I know the author of at least one piece of freeware that uses the installer specifically stated that he had done this until he knows whether or not it will b0rk a Tiger system....
Tiger and FoldersSynchronizer
And for anyone who uses FoldersSynchronizer, latest version 3.4.9, it won't run -- comes up on both my PB and on the G5 saying it needs Lucida Grande 10 pt. which is not, apparently, in the Fonts folder.
