Stopping the clock 'screen saver'?

I love my Classic iPod. It has my entire music collection in it.
But it's very fristraiting when I want to quickly look at it to see the name of the track and the clock is displayed! I have a watch for the time!
Can I stop this annoying 'screensaver'?
Thanx.

Can't be done unless you set the backlight to "always on", which of course drains the battery that much faster.
Many of us would like to see an option to turn this off so if you would too, add your voice to the list by using this link.

  • Word of the Day Screen Saver--Press "D" Key

    I have been using the "word of the day" screen saver that comes stock with Yosemite (10.10.2). When active, it will scroll words across stopping randomly on words and then provide the definition. Ok, so far. But it will also display a message with the definition to the effect of, "Press D key to see more". What is the intended result of this? When I press "D" it simply wakes up and returns to the Desktop.

    Word of the Day has a button to select the dictionary to be used - the New Oxford American Dictionary and a Japanese dictionary were available options as well as "Automatic".

  • Does tiger have a clock screen saver

    hi all,
    sorry for the ridiculously lame question, but i want a clock display for my screen saver (so my computer, when it's not being used, acts as a wall clock, easy to read from across the room--it doesn't have to be pretty, just functional). there doesn't appear to be one in the standard screen saver package that came with tiger, but is one available? can one download such things?
    thank you!

    Here are a few to try out.
    Versiontracker is a great source of free/commercial software for the Mac, as is MacUpdate.

  • Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

    Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
    If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
    and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
    Good luck Derek

  • How to change the language in the word of the day screen saver?

    Does anyone know how to actually get additional languages working with the Word of the Day screen saver in Mountain Lion?
    I've got the other languages installed in the OS X dictionary app, but can't for the life of me figure out how to get this working for Word of the Day...

    I don't think it's possible.  Ask Apple to add this feature via

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • IPhoto Metadata and the Collage Screen Saver

    I'm loving the new screen savers that came with Leopard, and I like the collage screensaver. I have good information that I entered in the iPhoto "info" box for photo names and dates. However, when I turn on the "Annotated" option in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, it only displays the original File name and date (some stupid names instead like "P1764670" instead of "Camping at Inks Lake"...and sometimes the original date on a photo was wrong, so I correct them)...Is there a way to make the Collage screensaver look at the data I've painstakingly entered into iPhoto? At the very least, is there a way to migrate the data from iPhoto to rename the files and dates of certain photos? Does iPhoto '08 offer a solution that iPhoto 6 does not?
    Thanks

  • How to stop the apps screen from appearing while in the internet.

    What do you mean by "the application screen"?

  • How to stop the registration screen

    I have had to reinstall my copy of FCE-HD. Since I had already registered when I first installed it, I don't want to send a second registration for the same product in if I don't have to. Is there a way to stop the "reminder to register" screen when I start up the program? It's not a major issue but it is annoying. Or, would the second registration of the program simply overwrite the first registration I had sent?

    A second registration wouldn't do anything. It's the only way to stop the registration screen.

  • I missed the  logo screen saver.

    Was searching high and low for the  logo screen saver but I'm restricted to Albums, Photos and Slideshow. Did I miss out anything? I prefer the simple screen saver because I don't want to light up my dark room with the rest of the screen saver options.

    I got a cool trick. In iTunes > Apple TV > Summary tab, I chose *Custom Sync* and check the *Show only the synced items on my Apple TV*
    Now when my Apple TV goes into screen saver mode, I get a black screen! Brilliant! Luv it.
    By the way, I do not sync Music and Photos to my Apple TV. Music video image art doesn't show up in screen saver. My Apple TV is mainly for TV Shows and Movies.

  • Is there any way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?

    Is there a way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?  When the print screen drops down, it covers the page and the info needed to create the file.  Thank you

    You will find that this is application dependent.  Most Apple applications such as Safari and Mail will use the "sheet" type of dialog boxes that you are referring.  There is no way for the user to change that behavior.  Other, non-Apple, applications like Firefox use a "modal" dialog box for printing etc.  The modal boxes can be moved around so you can see the page behind.

  • Stop the clock from showing.

    Does anyone know of a way to stop the clock from displaying after a certain amount of time while playing music. I would just like the album art and song title information to show up.

    You cant stop it. That is just the iPod Nano operating system.

  • Iconia Tab 8 W W1-810 suddenly stopped the auto screen rotation

    Hi. I´m havving trouble with my Iconia Tab 8 W W1-810. It suddenly stopped the auto screen rotation and now I can´t find the "enable screen rotation" checkbox. I only get the chance to put it in landscape or portrait but not in auto rotation. How can I enable auto screen rotation again? I will very much appreciate your help.

    Thank you, Justin! I tried that but, as I no longer had an automatic rotation checkbox, I couldn´t solve the problem. The solution came through the Acer Chat service. Acer technician Mukesh was very kind and patient, we tried every possible option but the auto rotation option was not available, the only way to get it back was to install the suggested drivers: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Platform%20Drivers/Platform%20Drivers_Intel_10.18.10.3643_W81x86_A.zip?acerid=635664922342452308&Step1=TABLET&Step2=ICONIATAB8W&Step3=W1-810&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6 After installing these drivers, I recovered the automatic rotation checkbox and could solve the problem. I am very happy that I could solve the problem and very pleased with Acer´s customer service. Thank you for your suggestion. Kind regards, María Inés.

  • Mouse stopped responding in screen saver mode

    When my laptop goes to the screen saver screen my mouse will not respond and when I move it so that the screen saver turns off, but the keyboard works. I'm using the Toshiba screen saver that came by default when I purchased the laptop
    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Hi there,
    So, firstly: The screensaver has absolutely nothing to do it. Its rather a driver problem and I suggest you to update your touchpad driver and touchpad software.
    A better idea would be to deinstall everything which has to do with the touchpad and then install the latest version of that software.
    Another good idea would be to update ALL existing drivers in your system and do all system updates (windows-related).
    Greetings
