Automatic Telstra screen saver turns on.

Hi all.
Still on the subject of learning the 6120 Classic.
I purchased this phone outright, new and unlocked.
The Telstra logo and the Telstra rubbish in still on it although I still have not decided who I want as my provider.
What I have noticed the when I put the phone down, after a short time the screen turns off. This is good!
But what is "not good" is that after a minute or 2, the screen comes to life and I get the scrolling advert shown the Telstra Next G.
This lasts for about 30 seconds and then it goes off. I do not think it comes back on again after that as I have not seen it do so.....at least so far.
Can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of the advert?
Regards
Nokia 6120 classic
May the "Farce" be with you!

you bet, go to the system preferences for expose (or spotlight: "hot corners") and you should be able to change it to something better or turn that off.

Screen Saver Turning On During Backup

I am a professional photographer and have huge files on my computer. I am trying to back it up and it is taking a very long time. I am trying to go to sleep, and let it back up as I sleep, however, the screen saver keeps turning on. I went into system prefrences and changed the proper settings so that it does not sleep but it continues to go on (the screen saver) ... I am curious if the back up still continues while the screen saver is on? I need to sleep and need it to continue while I sleep please help!! I am on time crunch...
(to be clear, I am leaving my computer for long amounts of time and this is when the screen saver turns on... it is not instant... )

Yes, it will still back up when the Screen Saver is on...

When the screen saver turns off my front panel does not refresh.

when the screen saver turns off my front panel does not refresh. If I use the show desktop button sometimes I can not maximize my vi by just clicking on it from the start bar.

I utilize both a screen saver and the show desktop feature but have never seen this problem in the past. You might play around with your screen saver settings to see if they have any affect. You might also try another computer just to make sure something larger scale isn't going on. Also, testing with other programs to make sure it isn't a general OS issue is always a good idea. Other possibilities include changing your Video Driver settings, updating your video driver, and uninstalling - reinstalling.

MBP 15 non-retina 2012--Screen saver turning on while typing

New 2012 MacBook Pro 15 (non-retina)
While typing or doing other items the screen saver turns on briefly and then fades away. Have reset PRAM and SMC, deleted screen saver pref. file in the library. I have not transferd my old accounts. Have updated all software. Any thoughts. BTW-- This is the second MBP '12 I have gotten. The first crashed and died 6 hours after turning it on. The screen went blank and 3 beeps were the only sign that it onced worked.
Thanks

Hmmm, today, my new non-retina MBP was behaving wierdly out in the garage, screen cycling between full brightness to very dark with a cycle of mabye 5 seconds. Hasn't happened in the house, so I feel it is either a brightness or heat sensor issue.

Hot corners enabling screen saver/ ss not working; restart they're working

Hi, for no discernable reason, my hot corners which are set to start secreen saver were not working; neither it seemed was my screen saver turning on. My computer seemed simply to be going to sleep from the screen image of the desktop without benefit of having gone through the screen saver cycle first. I ran disk utility and verified permissions. Then I did the old pc trick of rebooting the computer. That seemed to have done it. My hot corners are working the way they were set up to function. Por Que? Why is my PB G4 behaving like a PC?
Thanks.

Hi, Nagafugi
Had the same problem and here's what worked for me:
Navigate to System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver/ and click the Hot Corners button.
I generally set the bottom left corner to Start Screen Saver, with all of the other corners set to minus. I temporarily set the top left corner to Disable Screen Saver, and after moving the mouse pointer into that corner, I was then able to use my bottom left corner again to start my screen saver.
I put the top left corner back to minus.
Simple enough and good luck!

Choppy Screen Saver

Hello,
I am experiencing some strange issues with my screensavers. When plugged into my 23" ACD the screen saver will work properly for about 20 minutes then start to chop and become glitchy.
This does not happen when the screen saver turns on with no external monitor.
I am not running low on resources and it will happen after a fresh reboot.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what was done to fix it.

Update..
Recap:
After invoking the screen saver 5-10 minutes into it, any external monitor will display the screen saver properly for 5-10, but after that the screen saver starts "jumping" around and becomes choppy and stays like that until i hit a key... then the Screen saver works fine.. for another 5-10
The following things have been done:
Clean in stall of OS 10.5 and all updates
problem continued to happen on the external monitor while the built-in lcd did not have the issue.
External monitor is a Apple Cinema 23"
Changed monitors to Dell 20" LCD
problem continued to happen.
Reset PRAM problem continued.
Not sure if this is a hardware issue or not.. I dont see how it can be if the SS works fine for 5-10

Screen Saver Blinking

My screen saver has now started to turn off the second it turns on. I want to use the screen saver to run BOINC projects. Had no problem with this the 1st couple of months of use so maybe have lately installed some software that runs in the background or set a preference that interferes with the screen saver. It's as if the screen save thinks something has been entered a second after the screen saver turns on so it turns itself off, then back on, then off, etc. Anyone else run into this problem and know what causes it?

Just for testing: disconnect your (Bluetooth or USB) keyboard and mouse and have a look if it's working better.

Screen saver won't shut off

My screen saver has recently been activating itself. All screen saver settings in System Preferences>Desktop&Screensaver are set to never. All Energy settings are set to Never. Accounts>Administrator>Startup Items are limited to System Events.
Any ideas as to what is making the screen saver turn itself on?

Hello Winkler,
You might try this:
System Preferences>Expose' and check what's called "Hot Corners." It will be the upper most part of the pop-up window. You can set it to activate the screensaver whenever you mouse is moved to the corner you choose.
Hope this helps.

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

My Screen Saver won't turn off on my I-Mac. Is there a way to fix this?

I have an I-Mac that every once in a while won't turn off it's screen saver when I move the mouse. I can see the mouse move and switch to the screen with the caculator, but I am unable to get the screen saver to stop and view the screen proper.
It has been updated with mavericks, but was doing this before the update. It's set to update on a weekly basis, so It should be good in that department.
so far, any suggestiosn I have been able to find haven't stopped this from happening. i'm looking for a way to exit out of the screen saver.

Have you tried going to System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Screensaver, and choose "Start after Never"? That turns off the screensaver. Then, under System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Desktop, choose the image you want. You can vary the sleep by playing around with System Preferences/Energy Saver, and playing around with your preferences.

Display won't go to sleep / screen saver won't turn on

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard instead of the screen saver activating or the screen going to sleep when inactive, the screen goes dark for about a second and then flashes back on. It's resulted in images being burned into my screen a couple of times now.
If I manually activate the screen saver then the screen saver stays active and after a minute the display goes to sleep. Also, if I'm using Front Row the screen will go to sleep without a problem. I've tried turning off all apps to test it if one of them is preventing it, and and it still happens.
Anyone else have this happening?

The screensaver preference file is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.xxxxxxx.plist, where xxxxxxx is a UID for your machine. By moving this file out of the folder, your screensaver settings will be reset to the defaults.
The power settings are stored in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.
If your new user does not have the problem, then the preference problem may be in your ~/Library/Preferences folder.

How to turn off using photo library in Screen Saver?

Hi, Is there anyway to turn off screen saver (and desktop) in using my photo library (Aperture)? Currently it is using my entire photo library as screen saver and I wanted to turn it off. Clicking on the "-" button in the Screen Saver preference pane does not remove Aperture photo library from the list. I had OS 10.7.3 installed. Thanks.

The Aperture, iPhoto, and Photobooth icons stay permanently.
If you don't want to show your Aperture library, just pick a different screen saver.

I have over 60,000 photos in my iPhoto. When my screen saver comes on it randomly shows certain photos. Often, these photos are old and I in turn find the desire to print said photo. Is there a way the screen saver can convey a photo file name as well?

I have over 20,000 photos in my iPhoto. When my screen saver comes on it randomly shows certain photos. Often, these photos are old and I in turn find the desire to print said photo. Is there a way the screen saver can convey a photo file name or location as well? Can I create a slideshow of all my photos to cycle through at leisure with photo info? Lastly, I know I have duplicates and have tried numerous software programs to delete duplicates to no avail. What do you recommend as a method to reduce duplicates on iphoto? Thanks for your time.

1. No.
2. Yes.
3. Some apps for dealing with duplicates in iPhoto

WINDOWS 8 SCREEN SAVER NOT TURNING ON

I have a TouchSmart with Windows 8 and the screen saver will not turn on. Will work in preview but will not function. Have tried all available screen savers and applied all with no luck. Any ideas out there?

It was a long shot --
It does seem that if you want to splay a picture on the screen after a certain time, then you should be able to do so.
It might be the same as letting the screen "rest" in darkness, saving the screen, making the world a better place, all of that:
The computer should work the way you expect when the feature is offered to work a certain way.
Just some ideas...
All the settings for your "Screen Saver" should be set to just less than any "dimming" or "display off" settings
Have you tried setting the Screen Saver to "None" and seeing if the screen can at least go to "dark" after the set time? That would be something - it would tell you that the mechanism is working.
Related to Above:
Try setting Background to None, set the time to say a minute less than the time you let the display dim/go-off, Reboot the computer to make sure the setting is "in place", and then test.
Have you tried using one of your own pictures? If you do not have one, try downloading a picture from a location you trust - say from NASA if you are interested in "Things that are Star-Stuff"
The issue may be related to screen resolution vs. the resolution of the photo or "saver" you are trying to use. There may be some sort of conflict. This goes back to choosing either a different screen resolution or a different photo.
Do you have an extra monitor attached? There may be a resolution conflict with the extra monitor if you have "extended view" set and the two resolutions are not compatible in some bizarre fashion. Even if there is no conflict; if you do have an extra monitor attached, try turning if off and see if it makes a difference.
