Just received and installed Tiger on my PB 1.5Ghz with 1.5GB Ram.

Everything seems lovely except that the system is running the processor at around 70% constantly, even when nothing is running (Except activity Monitor) and the Fan is now running permanently. This is not good.

Anyone else seeing this?

Your spotlight is prabably indexing your files
 
Mine is still at preparing shipment even though I ordered at 8:40am PST on April 12th.

Oh well, I guess I will have to wait until next week to get my copy. At least I will know what to expect bug-wise from this release by then.

Well mine is NOT shipping from Amazon and won't until May 3rd. I expected them to deliver so it would arrive on the release date like they often do with CDs and DVDs. Too bad because they have the best deal and I am really tempted to just get it from an Apple store so i can use it over the weekend when I'll have much more time. Stupid Amazon! :mad:

If you ordered it with "Super Saver" shipping (as I did for my family pack), that's to be expected. I'm in no hurry, as I need to upgrade 5 systems at home and (eventually) quite a few more at work. I'm looking forward to the enhancements (especially better NFS performance), but there are always a few bugs to iron out.

I had some problems with Safari 2.0. My bank didn't recognize the browser when I tried to pay my bills online. The support told me that it would take at least a week to confirm the browser.
So if anyone (like me) havent paid their bills yet. Wait and install Tiger until you have made all the transactions with your bank.
 
Every Truck Sounds Like FedEx

Since I found out that I'm getting my copy today instead of tomorrow I've been looking out for the FedEx truck, kinda silly! Definitely going to Lennox Mall in Atlanta tomorrow, maybe I'll go see Hitchhiker's Guide before hand and make this an even more eventful day, which will hopefully end with a free powerbook! :p
 
Annoyed

I ordered MS Office 2004 and pre-ordered Tiger at the same time, almost two weeks ago. I requested they just be shipped together because I wasn't going to bother installing Office until I upgraded to Tiger. So a package shipped out Monday of this week via FedEx and I thought it was both Office and Tiger coming early. The package arrived yesterday, it was just Office. I was so disappointed opening up the box and not see Tiger. Tiger supposedly shipped today. I'm skeptical I will get it tomorrow as it doesn't seem to be in FexEx's tracking system yet.

Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I doubt it. I find it irritating that I might not get Tiger until Monday, especially since they had sent a package out to me earlier this week and I had requested they be shipped together, not separately. It's not the end of the world or anything, but it is still annoying. :mad: :( :mad:

Spotlight is building a metadata/content index!
 
Installed 6 hour ago on my powerbook G4 1.3.

Everithing is ok. Common applications like Adobe CS Suite, Macromedia Studio and similar work without any problem (so far).

The new mail is great... it was nice to have same interface implemented also in other aplication.

Spotlight work very well. You just have to wait 30-40 minutes after installing OS for first time indexing.

The only problem I have found is with PGPMail. Just uninstalled it in the hope o a new compatible version soon.

I have the impression that some applications lunch faster.

No other perceptible speed inprovment on the standard system operation. Havn't find a way for now to test OpenGL performance and other stuff.

Safari RSS work very well. I'ts simple and fast.

I have also repaired my permission with disk utils and it was incredible fast compared to the Panther version.

Dashboard is nice, fast and work well.

If you are a developer, you have olso to take a look at the new Xcode 2.0. There are also a lot of new things in cocoa that can realy help developers in speed up the building of an application (data model seems to be great). I think this OSX release will open the road to more and better write Shareware in the near future.

There are also some little security features like "Use secure virtual memory" that protect virtual memory files from other users access. Or the safari "Private Browsing" that let an user on a shared machine to navigate without filling the History.

For the one that use Quicktime Pro 6, be advised, you have to buy a new licence for QT 7.

Sorry for my bad English,
Stid.
 
Arghh! No iMac G5 screen rotation

I was hoping that screen rotation would be enabled for the iMac G5. I had everything waiting to order. Too bad.

Thanks.

I hope it is, but when I view the Activity monitor I see the following.

Activity monitor using 1.7%
Sustem UI server using 0.5%
Everything else using 0%

But the total CPU usage by the system is 70% (or there abouts)

Spotlight doesn't appear on the list at all.

Just seemed a little odd to me.
 
ARRRRRRGHHHHHHH WTF?!?!?

IT DIDN'T SAY THAT THIS MORNING!

Mine's on the truck too. Called Apple yesterday to upgrade shipment method so I could have it for the weekend and got a recording that "All who ordered Tiger by April 25th WILL have Tiger by 4pm Friday" - unless FedEx screws up. Then I called FedEx and told them to hold my package at the depot, I'll pick it up at lunch tomorrow.

Take a look at All Processes, spotlight should be listed there somewhere, I think.
 
AAaaarrgh! FedEx hasn't updated my shipment since yesterday.
It left FedEx origin location last night at 8:46pm in PA. I am in NY, guess I'll have to wait til tomorrow :(

Replacing XXXX with the reference given to you by Apple

It gives more details... Mine has left Nuneaton this evening (seemed to have been there since 2am this morning!). I'll hopefully receive it tomorrow!

Cheers! Took a lot of fidling as the number Apple gave me woudln't work, but I finally got there!
'Shipped From Originating Depot' (Nuneaton) at 5.15 - and it takes less than an hour to get from Nuneaton to my house so it better be here tomorrow!
 
Two day shipped yesterday, Fedex already attempted a delivery today (while I'm at work :mad: )! Usually I'm complaining because it is taking too long but sheesh, they could have at least said overnight instead so I could be there waiting for it!

Hopefully will get over to Fedex tonight, prior to close, and pick it up!

The processor hungry process is VShieldCheck.

Does it have anything to do with Virex? which appears to be having issues too. When starting up it is giving the following alert.

The Health Check component is not responding. Please restart or re-install.

Hmmmmmm.
