Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Shipping

Screen Rotation on a mini?

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

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! 🙄
 
Up To Date?

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?

As per the advice of someone earlier in this thread, delete all the cookies you have from Apple.com. It worked for me. 🙂

Sure was annoying though.
 
So get this.....

Ok I must admit that worked for me as well, but the iMac that I tryed with the Up-to-date page was from April 9th and it still worked out. I do not know if I should feel good or bad about that , I just thought I would give it a shot 🙄
 
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.

🙂

Good choice!!

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!! 😉

Think i'll go to the Apple Store in Regent Street, and buy it there, just so i can go and salivate at all the stuff i can't afford.

How sad is that???

Me too - I've taken the day off work so I could do this - but because of commitments that night I'm not able to travel down - will have to hope apple europe manage to treat us in the same manner as the guys in the US this time - notice how our pages don't guarentee delivery on the 29th.....

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

With all the leaks, ie, the WWDC leak, the GM leak, f***in MacMall sending Tiger out a week early, NO WONDER WHY STEVE WAS PISSED!!! I'd be too if everyone was breaking agreements and ruining my release event. 😡 He probably was stewing his anger, letting it boil off, then here comes the protestors. >.<

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? 😀
 
more of these?

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!! 😀 It's not wise to make a statement like that with only one post, guy.
