Domain Name Com's - Software : Apple Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger [OLD VERSION]

- OSX Tiger Upgrade
Why buy the upgrade when you can buy the full version?

Basically cause it was cheap. You will see, old version, new version, 10.4.6, 10,4,8 and so on. I just bought the old version and installed the latest update. Now I am up to date and for a lot less money which meant I could spend the extra cash on more software for my Mac.

As far as performance, No faster than Jaguar or Panther. The Benchmarks say faster but if you stare at the screen in any version, the 10 nano seconds you save are not noticable.

You will encounter drive issues at some point as this version appears to have issues more often. This seems to be due to the new journaling scheme but I cannot back this up.

If possible I recommend you erase the drive you are installing to. In the disk utility, select the erase tab, and then the security button, Select the zero out data option. Note: you cannot erase a drive but only a volume.

This will clear out any corrupt data and pinpoint any bad or damaged sectors.

The main reason I wanted this was for the widgets. They are a blessing. Calculator, thesarus, package tracking, and many more. Tiger only comes with about a dozen widgets but in the widget configuration button, you will see the more widgets option. You will be directed to hundreds of others widgets for immediate and FREE installation.

My favorite is the weather and radar widget as I work outdoors a lot. I am able to quickly see the latest radar and plan my week, all by press F12. No need to interupt what I am doing on the Mac as the widgets will pop up in my layout and my activities stay active. Click any area other than a widget and they hide away.

If you want to wait for a version of the OSX that allows you to write your own widgets without taking a programming course, wait for Leopard.

- Great Product!
I had been using Mac OS X 10.3 for a really long time, and it was running very slow since about 75 percent of my hard drive consists of iTunes stuff. I don't know how it happens but it does and i decided to upgrade to version 10.4 and it is definently worth it. The installation process doesn't take too long but it isn't two seconds either and once you get it all going, it keeps your mac exactly the same and it runs at a quicker speed which is great, and it has an added feature with things called Widgets which are great because they are very helpful in daily life, when you wake up, you can click the area for widgets and the time comes up along with the weather and a 6 day forecast and my favorite feature is the Flight Tracker feature because i do a lot of flying so now i don't have to log on to the airtran website, i can look at the widget and it gives me all the flight info, like being on time or delayed. So i say you have to get it, or miss out on the fun.

- Tiger is what Windows ever tried to be
Tiger is simply the most advanced personal Operational System on Earth!

I am an advanced used. I have used all sorts of operational systems in the last decades: IRIX (unix from Silicon Graphics), SOLARIS (unix from Sun), Linux, and also the bad written Windows. Everytime I used Windoze in the last 20 years, I had to deal with crashes, hanging, lost of data and hours of configurations, tuning, adjusts, cleaning, etc. Even today, everytime I shutdown Windoze, it hangs, due to some program crashing. It's a true joke!!!

On February 2005 I decided to buy a Mac and give it a try. I bought a Mac Mini and started using it.

What I have to say is that I am using it for more than an year without an issue, without a crash. System is solid as rock. Some bad written programs eventually crash, but never the system. And I am the kind of guy who works with several heavy programs with heavy documents opened at the same time. Mac never crashed. I am about to suggest Apple a way to make it crash, so we can rest a little bit, instead of working all the time.

So much trouble I had in the past with Windoze that even today, while I am using the Mac, I feel like it will crash at any time. Fortunately it never crashed.

Beyond those functions advertised by Apple, you will see that MacOS is a superb gold mine for those who want to explore under the hood. Filled with thousands of powerfull unix commands and programs, you will be able to perform miracles.

Microsoft is copying everything it can from Tiger and advertising it as revolutionary features of up comming Windows (hasta la) Vista. I cannot see a single revolutionary function on Vista, as everything already exists on Tiger. The most amazing is some sites on the web comparing Vista (a vaporware not yet launched) with Tiger (an actual product).

The only thing Gates forgot is that one month after Vista is released, Apple will launch Leopard that will take the crown from Tiger.

What I can say you is that for the first time on years I have joy of using a personal computer.

- Great, but not perfectly optimized
Everything was perfect until I used Exposé. The animation was a little choppy, but that probably has more to do with using an iBook G3 than with Tiger.

- Tiger Mac OS
I had two new fully operational G5 computers with Panther operating system already factory installed. I was contacted by Apple that a new Operating system was available, faster, yada yada yada.
I took the two computers into the store and purchased the new operating system Tiger.
The software proceeded to completely destroy both hard drives on both computers.
I returned them and told them I wanted my mony back. They refused since the software was oipened but agreed to replace the corrupted software and install it for free.
The computers never worked right since.
We were forced to continue working with these crippled computers as we have deadlines to meet. It was a nightmare
as it took four times the normal time to do the work because of crashes etc. We were already out a week with down time due to their negligence.
When the smoke cleared we took them back in and asked them to take the operating system Tiger out and replace the computers with the original operating system. Another four hours standing in line.
We got them back to the office and low and behold they still did not work. We took them back again and were told by a snotty tech that we had dust in the computer as if that's what the cause has been all along. He told us never to come in with dust in the computer again even though the dust was in areas that we are not allowed into without breaking the warranty.
If this were the case why hasn't it been a problem for the past 12 years? and what am I supposed to do? only use the computer in an operating room? The dust he displayed was extremely minimal the computer was only six months old and if it were such a problem why didn't the other four techs working on the computers notice it and clean it the first four times they had it on their bench?
Bottom line.. I'm tired of buying new programs and computers that don't work. Tired of standing in line for hours. Tired of companies not having a complaint line. How handy is that? No wonder they keep saying your the first one that's had a problem with this. That's literally impossible since I work in the entertainment indusrty that deals with editing and service bureaus that operate 100s of computers. They all are avoiding Tiger because of known problems as well. Apple is not addressing this and hundreds if not thousands of businesses are losing valuble production time due to their negligence. Instead of trying to develope a way for my daughter to dock her I-pod to a bowling ball, they should concentrate on making operating systems work in their computers.
Total time lost in our company is at least a week which is in dollars around 20,000.00. I can't imagine how much is being lost nation wide. Something needs to be done about this. They need to be held accountable for the destruction they cause by distributing faulty product.To add salt to the wound they keep coming up with all these stupid ideas on why the computers are not running right after they destroyed them initially. There comes a time that if they can't fix them, they need to replace them and stop wasting the consumers time and costing them money. We need a lemon law that applies to computers. Then the manufacturers will make sure they function before they are sold. I know I can't get the money my business had lost back but I want them held accoutable for distribution of a faulty op and replace the computers they can't fix instead of sending me back to the office with inoperable computers.
