Photo Screensaver Not Working

I use the screensaver that came with my mac that displays my photos. After installing Snow Leopard it doesn't work. When I go to system preferences->Desktop& Screen Saver->Screen Saver and choose any one of my picture folders or library system preferences freezes. Please help. Thank you.

You might want to check in your pictures folder for any aliases to picture files. ScreenSaver in OS X 10.6 has lost the ability to resolves aliases, and selecting a folder with aliases to pictures will either get you a "no pictures found" message or hang the System Prefs app. I don't know if this is your issue but it is worth checking. Navigate to the folder in the Finder in list view and check the View by Kind option to check for any alias files. I can no longer display aliases of jpegs in ScreenSaver.

  • IPhone 4 Photos Accelerometer not working

    I just received a new iPhone 4 and the Photos application appears to ignore the accelerometer and is always stuck in portrait mode. All other apps work fine, just Photos is not working. This is a new phone setup, not a restore from a previous phone. I have triple checked that the screen rotation lock is off and I've turned off photo sync in iTunes, deleted all photos and re-synced; it still does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

    1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
    2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
    If it still doesn't work, take it in to an apple store so the expert can test it out.

  • Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

    Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

  • Photo stream not working after upgrading to maverick please help?

    have upgraded to Maverick from osx lion
    sooo much trouble ......memory low
    photo stream not working
    everything slow
    any ideas?

    On your Mac disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

    I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
    Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • HT4906 my i photo is not working how do i fix it?

    Hi Friends,
    I was unable to make DVD, so I went to apple Store and they downloaded Idvd for me, Now I can create DVD, but now i realize my I photo is not working.
    I stay far from Apple Store, and It is not convinient to visit the store again. I am trying to update softwear, but it is not working as the softwear was updated In apple store with support ID, so now If I go for softwear update, it is asking for same support login ID of the store which I do not have and in absense of it I am unable to update I photo.
    Is there any suggestions you can advise...

    You need to contact that store, because you will never be able to update without sorting out that login ID.
    What does "not working" mean?

  • Screensaver not working in Mountain Lion 10.8.2??

    Hello,
    Since the update of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac the screensaver is not working anymore. I set it to 10min and after 10min nothing happen. Whats that?? Sometimes (like 1 time a day or 2) it will work but most of the time, nothing.
    Anyone have an Idea of how to fix this??
    Thanks!

    Upgraded iMac to Mountain Lion a couple of weeks ago.  Screen saver was working well until Sunday or Monday. Did not know! It was working before.  The screen now has burn marcs! Ruined!  Screen saver still not working except forced with hot corner.  Furious!  Tried permissions, restart with OC p r.  Is there any way to fix this?  And the screen?  Took great care of this iMac and now because what seems like a bug from Apple, it's ruined.

  • Photo Booth Not Working

    Hi there! OK. Seasoned user here, just can't quite figure this out... My Photo Booth application isn't working correctly. It is not saving the picture. After I take a picture (of myself, for example) it will freeze on the picture and not show the photo down below, its just blank. Then, I have to close the program. When I restart it the photo is not there... I tried trashing the plist file for Photo Booth to no avail. I tried restarting, repairing permissions, etc. Nothing works. I even tried reinstalling the "bundled apps" dvd and no go... Ok, can anyone help me with this? Am I going to have to reinstall Mac OS X? I would rather not since it's fully updated to 10.6.3 (and since I recently had to wipe everything out and start over already) someone please advise... Oh! Another tidbit.. I checked the Console log after Photo Booth freezes up and it keeps reporting this in Console:
    "* -[NSCFArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object at objects[0]"
    Help!

    To all those having the same freezing issues in Photo Booth (not allowing you to save photos within program) Discussions user "maahs_k " has helped me. Here was his solution for another user that ultimately helped me! maybe it will help you too...
    check your photo booth folder permissions
    macintosh hd/users/your_user/pictures/"photo booth"
    I've had a number of the machines at my building have that folder's owner become blank or change to system.
    once you have the folder selected in the finder go to
    File->"Get Info"
    and if your user isn't listed as the owner with
    read & write
    privileges then click the + to add your user and/or change your privilages then try to take a picture in photobooth.

  • Links and photo gallery not working!

    Hi,
    I've just created a website by iWeb. After publishing the site in the local folder I've uploaded the entire contents to the server by FTP. From local folder it works fine but while trying to view online, the links between the pages not working (even not visible) at the same time my photo gallery is also not working (not visible). I was using Safari in mac.The same problem occurs while I am trying to browse the site from in my pc (copied the file in a local folder) and using Google Chrome and Internet Explorer
    If anyone can tell me what is the possible error?
    Thanks,
    Tarique

    From viewing your site it's apparent that not all of the files are being uploaded to the server. Particularly those in the Scripts folder.
    Have you opened your locally published site with your browser and checked it out? I think you'll find that the navbar will display correctly on both pages and the rest of the site will properly.
    What ftp client are you using to upload the files? If you haven't tried the free Cyberduck client give it a try. Many users have found it to be successful where other clients were having problems.

  • Deleting photo's not working

    I recently upgraded to iphoto '11, everything seems to work fine apart from one thing the abillity to delete photo's. The delete key, dragging to the trash and arrow down trash option are all not working. Anyone any ideas? any help would be appreciated.

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
