10.4.9 - no screen saver preview

anyone else having this problem? the screen savers work, and the test button works but no previews anymore.

Screen Saver previews are working fine on G4 and Intel Macs here albeit they seem a little slow. If you updated incrementally you might try running the Mac OS 10.4.9 Combo updater.

  • 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?

  • Screen save is looking for a network drive that no longer exists

    I am on OS X 10.10.3 (though this issue started with 10.10.2)
    When I go to Desktop and ScreenSave preferences I get a message stating 'There was a problem connecting to the server "familyserver"'.  This isn't a surprise since that machine is no longer on the network (it was a Windows home server).  If I click OK the dialog reappears in a couple of seconds. 
    In the screen saver preview it says "loading photos.." and for the source it states: "Loading..."
    However I can't change the source - the only option in the drop down is "loading"
    Anyone know how to fix this so I can change the source to a local drive?
    Cheers

  • System preferences freezes whenever try to change screen saver settings

    When I try to change the screen saver settings in the system preferences, it locks up and I have to force quit. Is this a graphics issue? Anyone else having this issue? It looks like my computer is having problems processing the screen saver previews. I have the new Macbook Pro Unibody (June 2009).
    Any help would be awesome, thanks!

    Edit/add to the above: I just realised that the iLife Support update had (supposedly) already been installed -- it's listed in the updates in the system preferences, but not with today's date (which fixed the issue), but with the date when I got the MBP. Strange. A bug in the update? Not installed completely? Didn't get any error messages though. Anyway, all's well now

  • Screen Saver WindowServer Crashing

    I have a dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 with 2 GBs RAM running 10.4.5.
    When opening Desktop and Screen Saver in System Preferences and selecting anything in that dialog box System Prefs consistently crashes. I would like to prevent the system from going into sleep mode when I have apps that are processing in the background.
    I have run repair permissions and cleared out the cache. Has anyome else had this problem or, more importantly, does anyone know a fix?
    Thanks.

    Yes, screen saver preferences crashes immediately when clicking the screen saver preview mode. I am able to get into the desktop preferences. I don't recall the last download before this happened since this has been about a week. All other apps besides ichat, quicktime and the screen saver preference pane are fine and helvetica font is active. Im guessing its probably an issue with one certain application or corrupt file.

  • Hot Corners: Start Screen Saver not working

    I have enabled two Hot Corners with the Start Screen Saver option, but when I mouse over to the corner, nothing happens. Console logs show nothing, so it is like it is not even being triggered. If I do a Screen Saver Preview inside System Preferences, it launches fine. If I launch it from the terminal, it also works fine ( sudo open -a /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app). My other Hot Corners Desktop and Notification Center work fine.  The only unique thing hardware wise is that I have an additional monitor attached to my iMac via Dual-Link DVI.
    Any ideas before I submit it as a bug?

  • Aperture previews in screen saver!

    OK, this is just great (and maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, but....)
    In Prefs->Screensaver, the Aperture library and projects show up, I think so long as there are previews in the project. Excellent, just excellent!
    Mark

    Brian,
    As far as I know, those two lists come from the same place. I've always seen them both contain the same items. However, they do not look the same for some reason. Under Desktop, I have to open several disclosure triangles before I get to my Aperture photos, but with Screen Saver, they are already open at the top level.
    That being said, first things first: have you tried the [Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]?

  • Preview Album covers missing in screen saver mode

    When my ATV goes into screen saver mode the small pictures of the covers in the bottom left hand corner of the screen are missing, i only get a grey box. Is there any way of getting the covers to show there like they used too.

    Yes, the same for me as well. The image only appears when I press the menu button and exit the screensaver. Furthermore, the (now larger) image takes a second to appear when normal it appears instantly.
    Did you ever find a way to fix this issue?

  • Full-screen (spacebar) preview quality testing

    [For background story, please read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056763 but be warned, it's very l-o-n-g!]
    In brief: some people have noted that Bridge full-screen (spacebar) previews (FSPs) don't accurately reflect the sharpness of a photograph. Sometimes this can be explained by individual configuration problems, but it's clear that this is a common issue amongst people using Bridge to assess/score photograph sharpness, without having to build/examine 100% previews for every image.
    [It's worth noting that one common reason why FSPs aren't very sharp is because the Bridge advanced preference "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" hasn't been ticked, as this produces a higher resolution image cache.  Another cause of very fuzzy previews is random and unexplained, but can usually be solved by restarting Bridge and/or clearing the cache for the selection.]
    This discussion concerns the lack of sharpness seen only in FSPs.  It can be described as "a subtle but significant loss of detail and sharpness, similar to a slightly out of focus photograph"; imagine a photo with a little bit of blur filter, or a Photoshop PSD at a non-standard zoom setting.  This "softening" of the image is caused by Bridge asking the graphics processor to resize the image cache to fit the display.  If you select the Bridge advanced preference "Use Software Rendering", you can improve a poor FSP slightly, at the expense of speed, by bypassing the graphics processor.
    The test
    Visit this web page and download the last image ("2362x3543 pixel, 4.5 Mb") to your computer.
    Browse to this image in Bridge, and view it full-screen by pressing Spacebar.  Take a screen capture, and save it as a TIFF or PSD.
    Adjust your slideshow settings (Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L), picking "Scaled to Fill", then click on "Play".  Save the screen capture, as above.
    You now have two screen captures: one FSP, and one cache JPEG reference shot.  Examine them side by side at 100%, or layer them in Photoshop and use the hide layer button to flick between images.  Pay particular attention to the two left-hand photos, the sharpness check text, and the converging lines.
    Make a note of your computer's operating system, graphics processor and driver version, as well as your largest display's pixel dimensions.
    Post this information below, together with high quality (10) JPEGs of both screen captures, labelled FSP and REF, and any observations, so we can all see.

    OK, it usually takes me a while to let the penny drop, especially when it comes to maths...
    I also am busy with the transition of my new Mac pro but with al this here are my results. I include several screenshots but due to upload limit of 2 MB per image in here I downsized the original screenshots a lot, but hopefully it will be clear.
    For full screen screenshots I have the asked FSP and REF but also the 100% preview in Bridge with space bar and click. Don't know what your file size is but using EOS 1Dx with 18 MP CR2 files (converted to DNG) it does take me about 1,5 - 2 seconds for both loupe and FSP to build a 100 % preview, and I seem to recall this was not very different behavior on my previous (6 year old) Mac Pro.
    You are right (of course... :-) ) regarding the difference between FSP and REF, when studying closely there is a significant detail difference between the FSP and the REF. However, only the 100 % preview matches the original jpeg. The FSP file is on closer look not so good with details but the REF file is only slightly better, both are not correct and therefor the 100 % is still needed.
    Here is the FSP screenshot:
    and here the REF screenshot:
    also the 100 % preview in full screen screenshot:
    and finally a composed file with details from original, 100 % REF and FSP:
    As said before, at first sight I can't spot significant difference between all options and the full screen (as the preview panel HQ preview) let's me spot the vast majority of unsharpness issues, hence my multiple rounds of sorting and incases of doubt the 100 % option.
    So while your theory is correct I'm afraid I  (still) doubt the usefulness of this all. If neither the FSP and the REF (although the latter does show a bit better result) can match the results of the original but the 100 % does it well I don't see an easy solution for improvement.
    I agree with the quality from the screenshots Curt provided, but Curt also uses the embedded thumbnail instead of HQ preview option. Depending on his needs and hard ware availability it would be nice to see new results with the HQ and monitor sized previews options enabled.

  • I figured out how to put photos onto the Apple TV Screen-Saver

    I was having trouble using photos with the Apple TV screen saver.
    I got as far as putting them into the photo stream, but some photos were crooked, with no way of editing them.
    I called Apple, they didn't know what to do.
    I am submitting this after calling Tech Support at Apple, wanting to give them the information...don't know if they really took it to heart.  I figured this out myself with the help of my son.
    I want to share it with others.
    So, let me begin:
    I texted my son, he had set it up once for me, but I deleted the file. 
    So he told me to edit the photos on my iPhone, in my photostream.  Well there wasn't any to edit.  The file was not there.
    So going through my PC, I clicked on "My Computer" 
    I clicked onto "iCloud Photos"
    I get what looks like the above photo.  Click on "New photo stream"
    You will then get this screen.  In the "to" field, send it to yourself.  And then name your file, click "next".
    It will then give you this screen:
    When all the photos load, click done.
    THEN, go to your Apple TV. 
    Settings:
    Click on "Screen Saver"
    Click on "Photos"
    Click on "iCloud Photos"
    Click on the file you named on your PC.
    Now you will find, like me on "previewing" that some pictures were not straight.
    Go to your iPhone, click on your "Camera Roll"
    Click on "Photo Stream"
    Then you will see your file that you created for your screen saver.
    Click onto your file, from there you can click on the crooked photo and click "Edit", it asks to save it to "Camera Roll".  Click there. 
    What I did then was delete the crooked picture and at the bottom of this file within your "Photo Stream", go to the bottom of the photos, it will have a tile with a plus sign in it.  Click on that to add from your "Camera Roll" the corrected picture. 
    Do this for every crooked photo.
    ALL DONE!
    When done, go to your "Camera Roll" and delete these photos.

    This issue is resolved, through the generous advice of folks on this page.
    See my reply to Apple (2nd gen.) photo shuffle.  The Fix that I posted works for Apple 3 Gen, which was just purchased Dec. 27,2013.
    Thanks to all

  • Why No Desktop / Screen Saver Photos After Upgrade to 3.3.1?

    After upgrading to Aperture 3.3.1, no Aperture Desktop / Screen Saver images appear. Message "Unable to locate XXX" comes on. When I went into System Preferences, I find my iPhoto Library I have but NO Aperture Library & resulting Projects & Albums.
    I can open Aperture, import new photos, scroll thru all my Projects, Albums, Folders etc just NOT see them in Desktop /  Screensaver.
    Thanks / Gene

    I went into Aperture and clicked on Render Previews and all the Aperture Projects etc appeared and solved the problem : -)

  • 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.

  • Screen saver lag in loading photos from new folder

    I use my screen saver to display the family photos in a side show. I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option. This is puzzling because when I move my mouse cursor to the upper left corner of my screen to activate the screen saver, it only takes a few seconds to begin displaying photos, even with iTunes and other apps running. But when I open the Screen Saver Preference Pane just to change the source folder or to make any other simple change in options (pan and zoom, time to activate screen saver, etc.) it bogs down completely for 2-3 minutes. This makes no sense to me -- if the OS can get the screen saver side show going on a folder with several thousand photos in just seconds when the hot corner is used to activate it, why does it take the Preference Pane version so long to load the very same photos in a preview window? The problem is so bad, that I rarely bother to change source folders now. Which is a shame, because the side show program does a stellar job displaying photos -- at least once it gets around to it! A possible solution would be to give the user the option to suppress previewing of images. I have suggested this to Apple in several emails, and with each update to the OS I hope to find the problem corrected. So far, no cigar.
    As long as I'm at it, I'd like to make my annual request that Apple to make the Screen Saver side show a stand-alone application. My reasons, partly taken from an earlier post, are as follows. The built-in side show provided by Apple via the Screen Saver Preference Pane does a fantastic job of displaying even low-resolution photos in full-screen mode (especially with pan and zoom activated) without the photo appearing excessively blurry or pixelized. I don't know how the Apple programmers do it, but the photos displayed by the screen saver seem crisper and sharper than the same photos displayed by Preview or Photoshop. This may partly be due to an illusion created by the pan and zoom -- the expansion and shifting of the image on the screen causes the mind to focus on the signal, which is consistent from frame to frame, as opposed to the noise (pixelization) which varies somewhat randomly. I think there is some kind of perceptual averaging process that allows the mind to perceive the underlying true image, despite the low resolution.
    Be that as it may, I love the iMac screen saver. But I can't get control of it because it is not a stand-alone app. If the side show were available as stand-alone application it would probably have other features such as the ability to pause, go backward or forward, set the duration of each photo, select background music, etc. These would be in addition to the pan and zoom options already offered by the Screen Saver Preference Pane. And unlike the Preference Pane, selecting a new folder for the side show would (hopefully) not dog the machine completely down.
    I am aware that side show capability is available within iPhoto and also at the FINDER level when using Spotlight to search for images. But again, none of these are stand alone apps, they all work a little differently, and no one of them does everything you need. How about just having an app called Slideshow (or iSlideshow)?
    Does anyone else see a need for this?

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • My screen saver goes to black after a few minutes of running...any idea why?

    I've got a brand new macbook pro. I just did the set up of the screensaver which draws from a pictures folder.  The screensaver starts like it is supposed to but after a very brief time of running the screen just goes to black...no more screen saver.  Any suggestions for what I have set wrong or what I need to change?
    Also, when I'm loading a batch of pictures to my machine from my memory card is there a way to go through them and easily delete the ones I want to trash in a large screen (ie in preview or iphoto?)  I don' see a delete button of any kind.  For example in Micorsoft Office picture manager there's an 'x' and if you want to dump the picture while you are previewing them all/editing you can do it right from that screen.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!!  I'm a newbie to Macs (20 year PC user) and a little lost at the learning curve!

    From the menu bar, select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver. Set the Display sleep slider to an interval longer than the interval at which the screensaver starts. For example, if the screensaver starts after 10 minutes, set the display to sleep after 20 minutes. You'll then get 10 minutes of the screensaver, followed by a blank screen. You can set the slider to Never, if you like, but that will waste a lot of energy over the life of the machine.

    Does anyone have a solution?
    Environment: Mac OS X (10.7.2), Macbook Pro (late 2008)

    So it turned out that the cause of the problem wasn't as complicated as I thought...
    I had a few songs that were not added to the iTunes library, instead referenced from other locations on my hard drive.
    Specifically, if you bring up the Get Info window of a song, under Summary > Where, it may show a different path than your usual iTunes Media folder location, set under Preferences.
    E.g. Where: ~/Desktop/downloaded_song.mp3
    I guess, this happens when you drag a song into your iTunes instead of adding it to the library, and apparently, causes problems with the Artwork Screen Saver.
    Solution:
    To correct it,
    For those songs, go to File > Add to Library...
    Then find and select the song file.
    That's all I had to do to get the screen saver working... All your songs have to be added to your iTunes Library.
    I think my brother was messing around with my playlist... I hope Apple nails a better way to lock-unlock/secure OS X soon (proximity sensor, biometric 3D face recognition, unique voice recognition, soul recognition, etc.).
    That malloc error message still shows up; that must be an unrelated issue with the screen saver.
    I hope this helps out all those suffering through the same issue with their iTunes Artwork Screen Saver.
