Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen?

Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen? In researching screensavers the other day, I read an article saying that moving images were no longer necessary since that was important for cathode monitors and LEDs have no such problems but the iMacs are LCD. Do LCD get "Burn in"?
I need to know as I am making wallpaper and screensvers for the company I work at.

LCD's normally are not affected by any burn in, just use the computer. It's a wise idea to put the display to sleep when it's not in use.  You can set the setting in System Preferences - Energy Saver. I set my display to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used and it goes black, I've done this for 8+ years and have never had any display issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
    First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
    If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart

    Facebook apparently has their site coded poorly for tablets with touch screens. Try using the Facebook app. It is not perfect either but it is better than view in a browser lately.

  • How do I use album artowrk as a screen saver for atv gen2?

    I can't seem to find a way to get my album artwork to display as a screen saver for my apple tv.  I can get my pics from iphoto with no problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need to create an album of your music artwork in iPhoto, the Apple TV doesn't have the facility to use album art in a screensaver.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store?

    How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store? I wanted to download the "Wath abc family" app and it said it had to switch me to the american store because the app isnt available in Canada yet. Once it switched me I put in my apple ID and password and thats when it said that my apple ID is only valid in the canadian store and it switched me back. 
    1)

    3)

    To make purchases in the Mac App Store/iTunes Store for any particular country, you must be a legal resident of that country and supply a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a verifiable billing address in that country. Do you also make those qualifications in the US?
    But as a side note, as one who has that app, you can only watch both ABC and ABC Family shows if you have an account with a US cable or satelite TV company with which to sign into the app. Otherwise you don't qualify to watch shows with it.

  • Rotating text messages on Screen Saver for disabled person?

    I have an iMac set up in my mum's living room, she has dementia and I use the computer to speak to her using Facetime and Skype.
    I would like to be able to place rotating messages on the screensaver (in large font) to remind her of things e.g. when her shopping is due, with my phone number. I assume this is not possible with OS X, but is there an application that will allow me to do this i.e. rotating messages on screen saver with control of font size?
    Thanks in advance

    There's no completely simple way to do this but there's one way I can think of that doesn't require advanced geeking:
    1. Set up a cloud service such as Dropbox or Google Drive so it runs on her computer and on your computer.
    2. On her computer, set the screen saver to use PICTURES from a specific folder only, with whatever effect you like. Choose a folder that's inside the Dropbox or whatever that you set up.
    3. Now you can create pictures yourself and put them inside that folder and know that they'll display on your Mum's screen saver. You can choose whatever font and colours and whatever that you want to use for each message.
    43 Just make sure that you delete messages once you don't need them anymore, and that that folder only ever has one picture in it - less confusing. You'll probably want a default picture to put in there when there are no other messages, I'm not sure what would happen if the screen saver points to an empty folder.
    This isn't the only way to solve the problem but it's probably the simplest.

  • How Do I Create a Screen Saver for Mac

    How can I animate a logo as a screen saver?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There are a few tools you can use. This page lists a couple. It looks like you can download a trial version and see if it'll do what you want. If not there's another one on that page.
    If you're handy with programming, you can also create your own with Xcode. There's an article here that talks about it, though it's a bit old, and might be somewhat out of date.
    But just dropping SWF files probably isn't going to work. A screen saver is a special kind of program...
