Tiger Bugs

the finder seems to want to search after putting in one letter of a name. I typed in "A" looking for a document with the word "always". The Tiger finder wants to find every entry on my computer starting with the word "A". I could go on, numerous crashes, new drivers, and 3rd party fixes. I don't see the point of this new operating system. Does it make my work easier or faster? No it creates more work, and I spend more time troubleshooting or installing new drivers, and some that don't exist as of yet, which makes my computer usesless. I recomend not buying tiger.

Great site please keep me posted

If you set a picture as your Desktop in System Preferences there is no option for how to resize the picture. In the past you had options for "Full Screen", "Stretch" and at least one other. Now there's nothing. So if you have a small picture it gets stretched out and ugly rather than just being centered in the screen with a solid border. Doesn't really bother me but drives my girlfriend crazy.

Alex, are you sure you don't have the graphite theme active? You can find it in Appearance. No clue about the iChat icon, though, it worked for me without a hitch on 3 different systems (yes, I got the family pack ;)). ~ SP

How 'bout some GUI quirks. Like some people having grey apple menu icons and grey spotlight search icons, while other people have the bright blue. Additionally, it would appear that a clean install gives the fresh ichat logo that is just a speach bubble. While an upgrad install retains the old icon.

When I first installed Tiger something was using 99.9 percent of both my processors according to the activity monitor it was something called vcheck.something. I spotlighted it and it turned out to be something to do with virex. Deleted it and everything to do with it and it solved my problem... yeah so apparently virex isnt tiger compatible anymore? My dad just told me this, he works for apple... look into it for me tuaw.

I too was using MenuCalendar on Panther, and after upgrading to Tiger I can no longer get MenuCalendar to display on the right side of the Spotlight search window -- it defaults to displaying to the very left of the Apple menu extra. However, looking at the screenshot of MenuCalendar to the right of the Spotlight search icon, I almost now prefer MenuCalendar on the left side. I'm guessing that the Spotlight search area is pushing all of the menu icons to the left, or maybe Apple has gone off and changed the NSStatus items again.

Viewing hidden files is also somewhat broken as well. Open up com.apple.finder.plist from ~/library/preferences, and add in AppleShowAllFiles (Boolean), set to Yes. Restart the finder (QuitMenuItem ((Boolean)) Yes is another good one ;)), and pretty much all non-drive icons are translucent, a state previously reserved for hidden files. ~ SpacePirate

I've had the Finder menu bar and the iTunes menu bar overlap, causing the text to layer. Text layering also happened in VLC...

Right click on a dock icon to get the popup menu, now click outside of the menu and dock on an empty portion of the desktop. The dock stays magnified. I had an issue where I deleted a widget or two that I had downloaded from a 3rd party website from my ~/Library/Widgets folder. One of the old widgets still showed up in Dashboard. I dragged it out and it appeared as the iTunes widget then crashed Dashboard. Another was when I downloaded a piece of software and when it was extracted to a folder on the desktop I could not view the files via the GUI. A Terminal "ls -al" showed the files where there. I moved the folder inside ~/Documents and could then see the files in the GUI. I have not tried to reproduce the last two since.
