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

Posted in Tech by Dan at 2:40 pm

Why thank you, PCMall! Tiger EARLY!

For your viewing pleasure - the opening video with seperate audio file, or everything as one file.

Don’t believe me? Tell me I’m wrong when you install it…

EDIT: Seems that there is a torrent of the final version floating on the net.

UPDATE: LINK to a video of the 10.4 RSS screensaver.

    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.

    Apr 23rd, 2005

  5. Dan

    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.

    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?

    Apr 23rd, 2005

  14. Dan

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

    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

    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.

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

    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.

  36. Steve blowJOBS II

    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?

    Apr 29th, 2005

  37. Derek

    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.

    Apr 29th, 2005

  38. Steve blowJOBS II

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

    Apr 29th, 2005

  39. Steve blowJOBS II

    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?

    May 2nd, 2005

  40. Dan

    It is already bootable - so I am told.

    May 2nd, 2005

  41. alex

    so what are these .mac problems?

    May 6th, 2005

  42. Dan

    Every now and again the Sync fails…

    May 6th, 2005

  43. Johnny

    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.

    Jun 13th, 2005

  44. Derek

    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.

    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!
