The Cat’s Out of the Bag – 10.4 “Tiger” Intro Video

Lucky Bastard!!! :D

Thanks Tim, I\’m a whore for this stuff – so how was \’registration\’ any new verfication or IDs to type in? I can\’t see how Apple will be able to tell you\’ve installed without permission… i mean early.

Great anyway. Cheers.

Everything was fine, but there are a few .Mac problems

By opening video, do you mean you have to watch this everytime you boot?

Ugh.

No, just when you first setup the computer.

“By opening video, do you mean you have to watch this everytime you boot?”

Even if you did have to watch it every time you had to boot, you wouldn’t be seeing it much.

Tiger Is available here as posted on almost every news site, so quit your jealousy..

so, is Gold Master really Build 8A428 ???

i\’d really be interested in finding out… :)

8A428

OMFG APPLE SUXORZ

Yes. I agree with the \”wannabe\”.

well… the reason i was askin the build number is… i installed the torrent file that was makin the rounds lastweek and it installed build 8A428 on my system… but i didn\’t get any intro video that played like that….

hmm….. it\’s no biggie but still strange.

It seems a little odd that the last half of it is just music with no video… is it supposed to be like that or is my download broken?

It is supposed to be like that – the black section is for background music when you register the machine…

dude!\” apple is the coolest ever! they are so cool it makes my weenis stand up on its end! i never feel this way except for when i hear exciting news about my insanily grate macintosh appils! think differant! go appel! OMGsteve i think i loff you! get over here you \’grape\’ flavord ipod mann!

Hummmmmm…

Lets See OS X 10 / 10.1 / 10.2 / 10.3 / 10.4

Longhorn what!

It\’sGGGGGRRR EAT!

Brandon, no you wouldn\’t see the intro video if you were installing it onto a machine that you already had os x on and you were upgrading. You only see an intro video when you first install os x on a clean hard drive, or you just got a new computer.

Can someone please post the exact size in bytes (xxx,xxx,xxx) of the REAL ACTUAL DVD so it can be compared with the one that was released via the Internet so we\’ll know if we have the real one??? Mine will arrive on the 29th, but I\’d like to know what I installed will = what I paid for. Thanks!!

hey now…

I don\’t know why you guys were fooling those poor souls who just wanted to know the truth to their damn questions. tell the truth! you DO have to watch this Tiger video every time you boot up. now don\’t lie! pleeeeez…

and whenever an application freezes under Tiger (which, of course, happens SOOOO less frequently), you have to deal with just the \”Hello\” clip part of it, like \”HELLO! what the f*** happened? oh yeah…just my new, loveable TIGER!!!\”

it makes life so much easier. especially more soothing on the kernel panic front. don\’t y\’all agree?!? I can\’t wait to get mine from Amazon.com, and yes, I\’m jealous of you full-price-thru-apple.com-payers, but hey…you get to work the bugs out for me…no?

BTW, please note I love my PowerBook and can\’t wait to install my Big Kitty and all the preceding was a joke. love to the Mac faithful! Steve promised he\’d bilk us for all we were worth if he ever came back to the company…AND HE\’S FULFILLING THAT PROMISE!

Hey,

I also have Tiger and find that the video conferencing feature is PATHETIC with 128kb/s uploads, does this happen for you too when speaking with other people who have Tiger.

However, when speaking with somebody with Panther, its okay.

Tell me what you think.

cheers

Is the video supposed to be black for a minute in the end?

Yes:

Might I suggest that the admin of this site use stripslashes() when printing comments.

\”Brandon, no you wouldn\\’t see the intro video if you were installing it onto a machine that you already had os x on and you were upgrading. You only see an intro video when you first install os x on a clean hard drive, or you just got a new computer.\”

Actually, if you upgrade, Setup Assistant.app will launch when you log in and will play the intro video, just not full screen. Either way, it will play the first time you install.

Will do Casey

Thankfully it is an indirect hit :-)

Could you upload the new wallpaper? I can\’t wait much longer!

Why can\’t \”someone\” properly \”fix\” escaped \”quotes\” and \’apostrophes\’? Ugh.

Just the web application goofing up… Will fix that. My focus now is to keep the webserver up…

Hi Folks,

has anybody the band’s name who wrote that
quite unusually piece of Intro-Music?

Greetz from Cologne/Germany

I am rad. You are all hosers. Look up at the salami before it hits you in the head. When will all this madness end? You know the war pigs are driving us straight to hell.

i have that torrent build number but when I installed there were a few quirks. The \”about this mac\” function didn\’t work at all. the Dock and Dashboard also didnt work. There were a few issues with networking as well. So I\’m unsure if this is the final version or not.

Explain this to me folks: When I downloaded the so-called \”8A428\”, I double-click on the install and then asks me to reboot but only reboots back into the original OS. It does not start the install/upgrade. Any ideas?

You need to burn the dmg to a dvd and install from that. You can’t run the install/upgrade with the dmg on the desktop.

Derek,
Thank you so much for the information. I will give that a try…

Hopefully anyone can answer this:

When you say burn the .dmg to a dvd, do you I just burn that file to a dvd or do I have to make the dvd bootable?

It is already bootable – so I am told.

so what are these .mac problems?

Every now and again the Sync fails…

Ummm i have a question similar to Steve blowJOBS II. do u just put the .dmg on the DVD? also i want to know if i can put the whatever file im supposed to on CDs.

Use the disk utility to burn the exact DMG. The only way you can get the DVD broken up to fit on to multiple CD’s is through a media exchange with Apple which is like $10. Probably not the safest thing to pursue if you umm ergh acquired Tiger instead of purchasing a copy.

It’s good. Nice blog. keep it up. Visit us at jack

I gave my storebought Panther disks to a friend. Now he is offering me his store-bought Tiger. He says he registered the software (which probably means he registered his computer upon install?). Is it safe for me to upgrade from his Apple original dvd? Will I have to register my computer? Will there b a problem if I do?
Thanks! ¡Que viva la revolucion!

This has not been able to work for me. I am not too sure why!

plaes give jou my the “tiger intro”?????
