What screen saver options are there?

I have 3 Apple TV's set up in my home.  What I want to know is there a way to have the screen saver work more like a picture frame showing one full screen photo at a time rather than the floating groups?  What are all the options you can use if anyone on these feature?  How can you select exactly what photos are displayed?

There are different screensaver themes, you can preview them by going into settings - screensaver. There is a small number of photos cached for the screensaver, there is no control over what order they are displayed.

  • After updating to Yosemite, my screen saver settings are not maintained.  The screen saver reverts to some Apple default.  There is no way to get my setting to be maintained.

    Hi ..
    Might be corrupted preferences.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.screensaver.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then reset your screen saver.

  • HT2490 my desktop and screen saver option is no longer available in the system preferences. meaning it is no longer listed. how would i go about getting it back?

    If you used system cache cleaning software it can mess up Apple software.  Stop using such software.  Remove Mackeeper if present using these directions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
    If you started typing something in the search field of the System Preferences, it might be hiding.   Quit and reopen System Preferences to be sure it isn't hiding because it is searching for another panel.
    Lastly, if none of the above apply, go to your hard drive -> System -> Library -> PreferencesPanes folder and see if it is hiding there.  If it isn't, get your 10.5 installer disc that installed 10.5 on your Mac, and restore it with http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist, and then run the 10.5.8 combo update to ensure the version matches the operating system.

  • How do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out!

    how do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out! ie on my old HP I could print in draft if i wanted to print a doc to read and then bin...the option/box is there but greyed out so I can't select. HELP!!!

    You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

  • When I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my iMac, it will no longer allow me to use selected folders from iPhoto to run as my screen saver.  Is there anything I can do to fix that?

    Does this involve iPhoto i some way? Seems more like an issue with your web browser.

  • What is the "flagged" screen saver option

    I'm hoping this is a way to have only specific iPhoto pics be used in the screen saver rather than all. But I haven't be able to figure out how to use the flagged option for a screensaver. If I click on the flagged option I get a message "The selected soruce contains no pictures. Please choose a new source that contains pictures or add images to the source." I'd love to do that, but how?

    Thanks much for such a simple answer! I'd need the greyed out flag in iPhoto but didn't know what it was and hadn't used it. Now I learn about that and the flagged screen saver

  • What happened to the Ken Burns full screen screen saver options

    What happened to the Ken Burns effect full screen option for screen saver in Mountain Lion.  It's not the same as Lion. Actually it *****.

    Submit bug reports to http://bugreporter.apple.com/ after signing for a free online developer account:
    http://developer.apple.com/
    Or post to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ Hopefully someone who has played with the screen saver can tell you what is most like Lion's.

  • Screen Saver Photos are beginning to rotate on their own.  (How) Can this be stopped?

    I have a large number of photos I use for Screen Saver and they are beginning to rotate spontaneously, sideways and upside down.  Is there anything I can do to stop this action?  I'd have to go through hundreds of photos to find and change the twisted ones and from previous experience the adjustment doesn't hold for long if at all.
    They are held in my Kodak and iPhoto Apps and/or under "Pictures" file in my home directory.
    I am using OSX 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo, 21" iMac.
    TIA ....goldie

    The only way to do this is set the Scope of the prompt to Page and not Dashboard ... are you setting any values of the prompted columns in these prompts - if you set a presenataion variable in prompts 1 or 2 then don't use it to preload the the columns on prompts 3 or 4. Curious - what do you have the defaults set to? Report defaults? Specific Value? etc.
    Also: I notice you reference the 3rd prompt as being Scoped at Page - what about prompts 1 and 2? All 4 should be scoped at page ...

  • Changes in Screen Saver Options?

    Hello,
    I just replaced my older Macbook Pro (about 3 years old) with a new Macbook Pro with Retina.  Anywho, I am trying to set up my stuff and on my old macbook I had a screen saver that started off as one picture and then moved out adding more and more of my pictures to a collage of pictures that would become another picture...I can't find it but I am not sure if that is my user error or if they took away my screen saver option

    Maverick has butchered the screensaver, agreed. I can't even bring up any of the photo options, oragami, shifting tiles, sliding panels, what have you. When I try, it will instantly go into the spinning rainbow, and it 'never' stops spinning. Please apple fix this.

  • Screen saver options

    Hi, new user here and am not impressed. Im trying and want to be part of the apple family but this is ridiculous-
    Ive tried all the help menus and other options to figure out on my own but am down to the option of asking the simplest questions here;
    I have made a new folders in my Pictures and imported files to them - in the screen saver preferences panel it will not show any of these folders in my Pictures - it does however bring up everything that I have posted on FB which I really wish it would ignore...
    I cant find a way to 'refresh' or locate the newly built folders - ?

    Not all, but many users that I know have the screen saver set to never come on and just go straight to Display Sleep to save on system resources and there displays.
    However if you want to use pictures as screen savers you will need to open iPhoto and import those pictures into iPhoto. Then open your screen saver preference and select them from the Albums or Events listed below iPhoto.

  • When creating a DVD face in Photoshop 13 my save options are limited to .PSE and .PDF.  Why can I not save as a jpeg or other file format?  This was never an issues in Elements 10 (my previous version).

    I just recently purchased Elements 13. I am in the process of creating a DVD face for a video. The design is complete and I would like to be able to save it as a JPEG so I can use it in another program that prints my DVD's. The problem is that it only allows me to save the file as at PSE or a PDF. No other options are available. Why is this?  I upgraded from Elements 10. In Elements 10 I have never had a problem saving this type of project as a JPEG.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    ANSWER FOUND!
    Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works!  I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

  • Screen saver pictures are showing the wrong way

    Some of the pictures in the Screen Saver are not displaying in their proper direction. The pictures in question show up correctly in iPhoto. Some of these may have been edited in iPhoto, but some of those that display properly have also been edited.
    Not sure how to deal with this.
    TIA!
    AppleTV (2nd and 3rd Gen)

    Install the 10.6.7 update, comes to mind. Additionally, move any screensaver files in your /Library/Preferences/ and ByHost subfolder to the Desktop, restart, reset the screensaver settings, and see if that fixes the issue. I, for one never use anything but the installed ones, but my mate uses family photos and my experience is that they're resized to fit.
