Mac OS X Tiger Arriving

I ordered on 4/12 and haven't received an email.......Order status still says "Preparing for shipment".....a couple of people who live in the NY area on other forums haven't received an email yet.

What I can't figure out is there are people who ordered last Friday and they received their copy yesterday.

I guess this is to big of job for FedEx to handle. They have some serious holes in their system and this is something they do for a living. Gees :mad:
 
What a disaster for us. Since I actually am resolved to not getting it tomorrow, this whole thing actually has become a bit funny.

If I could get the education discount I would've considered getting it at the Apple store tomorrow. I have a feeling it has probably shipped but the email notification system is behind.....at least this is what I hope!

Just curious as to what your order says when you log onto apples order status on their web site? Mine says still as of right now preparing to ship.

I got shipped e-mail. The package left Middletown, PA at 8:46PM on 04/27 and apparently has vanished because it never arrived.

your truck must be with my truck. yours should have gone north, mine south. both left place at the same time, both disappeared...is it too early to claim it is some sort of conspiracy?

Hmm...mine looks eerily similar to both of yours...(also coming to NY, and no sign of it after leaving Middletown, NY at 8:46 PM on 4.27...)

From previous posts I have learned that its a plane that left for Newark Airport. So that is where it might be right now.
 
OOH!

Hmm...I think Apple's doing something with my order. My shipping just got changed from "Bestway" to "Priority Overnight." Still says 5/3/05, but maybe that'll change too :D

Heh. Mine sat in Memphis all day at the FedEx Sort Facility. It's on its way to Florida now though :D I guess the Family Pack shipped from a different location than the single user copies, because there are others in my area that got theirs today. Oh well, they did say we'd get it by April 29th. ;)

Well, if yours went to Newark, where is mine? I wouldn't expect them to fly from Middletown/Harrisburg to BWI...it would take longer to take off and land than it would to fly. Also, my track is a bit different from the others from Middletown

Fresh is the only way. I find that backing up OS X to be extremely easy and with an external FW drive, fast too. So, why not. It probably doesn't matter, but it's nice to start everything over; helps me learn the new system. ;)

Being a fairly recent convert from the dark side I have some questions on doing a clean install.

I'm in the process of backing up to an external fw drive. If I go to finder and choose everything that is under the "Macintosh HD" to back up, will that take care of all files for all users?

How do I actually do a "clean" install? I know how to reformat and reinstall in Windows but how do I go about it in Mac OS?

After installing Tiger, do I just restore all of my apps and files from the backup? I assume I need not restore the system, library, etc. folders?
 
STILL

Well, mines still shown as "Processing Order", and it's REALLY PISSING ME OFF!!! Lets just hope I get it tomorrow, I want to watch the seminar in H.264! Well, hopefully its in H.264.....COME ON TIGER :mad:
 
woohoo!

Weird. Here I was thinking that this door tag left at my door was for a different package I was expecting since my order status still says it's being prepared for shipment. But actually, I just typed in the door tag number on fedex.com and the origin matches the rest of y'alls...and I also just received the other package I was getting it confused with.

So basically my Tiger shipped yesterday even though my order status still says Preparing. Tomorrow I will have it when FedEx attempts another delivery. Interesting. What a relief, but frustrating to know I could be installing right now if I was home when they tried to deliver!
 
Obviously my FedEx page hasn't updated yet like any of the others coming from Middletown.

Hopefully i'll wake up to that email from my campus mail room tomorrow morning saying i have a package... :p
