KeR Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 why not? Its out, people are getting their copies from Apple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureLogic Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 It indexes pretty quickly and it didn't really effected the system speed on my Mac. Copying files does seems to take a little longer on Tiger, maybe because of the on-the-fly index system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 it took about 1 hour to index my 40+ gig of files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DELETEMYACCOUNTTTTTTTT Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Don't have my copy of Tiger yet, so if someone could try something for me it would be great. Open Dashboard, click and hold on a widget, then close dashboard. It should pull the widget to the desktop, and then when you open dashboard again, it'll go back.

DELETEMYACCOUNTTTTTTTT Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 But alas, it will only do one at a time, as whenever you go to the dashboard to select another, the previous goes back. I'm hoping this is a broken feature(where more than one can work) instead of a "bug" (widgets shouldn't do that at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I've heard when people first install Tiger it goes very slow because Spotlight has to index your HDD, about how long does it take you? I know it depends on how many files you have and such but does it index quickly?That Kitten and Radish don't seem to have a problem with this "help" we should be able to do it because its 2-1 :p 585817688[/snapback] Radish and I had been actively deleting support threads well before the sticky was put up. As soon as Apple starts supporting Tiger, we will too. As was pointed out to me via pm (thank you for the pm, btw), one Tiger thread is ugly. If you want to have a general discussion of Tiger, put it in here. If it's something in particular (ie, which apps are broken), then feel free to create a separate thread. We'll keep this one stickied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.MULLA Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 i did find the processor usage of dashboards to be around 50-60% cpu with 5 widgets on a 1.42ghz G4. i ran a movie in the background at 1/2 the screeen size and viewed dashboard and it put the quick time to a hualt- became very very stuttery. i dont know why but dashboard seems to run very laggy compared to konfabulator. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have gotten their legal copies already, don't see why we should wait any longer. Most of us aren't really that dependant on what Apple does in order for us to do it. The Dashboard trick doesn't work btw, maybe it was just a one time fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureLogic Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 lol it does work! You need to drag it out of the Widget dock (press and hold) while pressing F12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timan Veteran Posted April 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 23, 2005 Oh now thats pretty neat, much better to have them on the DT than on the dash imo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureLogic Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yeah but you can only place one on the desktop because they'll disappear when opening Dashboard again. I think they're way too big to be on the desktop, not to mention the CPU usage! And some of them (like the Weather) don't really work 100%.

dissonation Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 <rant> So longhorn isnt out till end of 2006, but there are trillions of posts about people installing it and problems etc. But tiger, which is now as good as out... </rant> I installed Tiger on a G3 iMac (350mhz 256MB) and it was so much faster. I would have thought they'd given up optomising for such an old system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Just thought I would mention something about the RSS feed screensaver I mentioned a page back, if you open safari and add this feed://www.neowin.net/backend.php?page=main to your bookmarks under Other it will show up in the RSS Feed Screen saver and you can now view Neowin.net news :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
