Help did 9.1 update and now cant find where my screen  savers

hi i just updated my system to 9.1 and now i cant find the screen savers there is no screen saver control panel .looked every where i u can help me i would be indebted to u i am a newbie been using windows for ten year im in lov e with this mac !!!!!

Hi, alottab -
i beilive it has a folder named previos system
That would indicate that you did perform a Clean Install.
The result of a Clean Install is that you get a brand new, "clean" System Folder of the new OS, and the old one is renamed to "Previous System Folder". The "Previous" one contains all the items that had been in the OS before the update; the new one does not.
Your screensaver software should be in the Previous System Folder. None of its files are accessed by the new OS, which is why you would not have access to the control panel for that screensaver software. In order to use the old items in the new OS, you would need to move the software from the Previous System Folder to the appropriate locations in the new one.
Notes -
1) Do not replace any of the OS 9 software with items from the Previous System Folder. Older third-party (non-Apple) software items may or may not work in OS 9, but be sure to not replace any OS 9 system software items with ones from OS 8.
2) Some OS 8 software will not work in OS 9. In particular, this includes some screensaver software such as After Dark. As Kenichi Watanabew pointed out, there is no native (built-in) screensaver software for OS 9 and earlier; all such is third-party software.
<hr>
There are some screensavers available which will work in OS 9; some are free, some are not. Here are some sources -
Screen Gear - Screen Saver, Image Displayer
MacScreenSavers.com - Free screen savers
VersionTracker: Screen Savers
Free Macintosh: Apple Screen Savers
Pure Mac: Screen Savers
Filedudes
Tucows Macintosh
Be sure to read the description of any of those you are interested in to be sure they will work in OS 9.
Screensaver programs can be useful and even fun, but they are not necessary. In OS 9 you can use the Energy Saver control panel to auto-sleep the machine and monitor after a delay of your choosing. I set mine to sleep only the monitor, and not the machine - wakeup is near instantaneous.

  • I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open.  Any ideas on what may have caused this and to fix it?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    I updated to iphoto 11 and now cant find any of my photos. How do I find them?   Have they all been deleted?

    Your iPhoto library should be intact - you can find it in your home directory in Pictures>iPhoto Library. Hold down the option key when you open iPhoto and you'll be prompted to select a Library. Select "iPhoto Library" and you should have your photos restored.

  • I sent an email from my ipad and now cant find it

    i sent an email from my ipad and now cant find it. Where did the email go after I hit send?

    Did you try charging it for at least 15 minutes, then turning it on and entering the passcode?  If it won't turn on after charging, try resetting ti by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Photoshop PSD files will not open in AE or PREM?? This was fine in CS6 and CC - just did the CC2024 update and now issues-any help much appreciated

    Titles says it all really,

    please help i have work to finish

    I am having the same issue. I can create a single layer file in Photoshop and it imports fine. If I create a file with 2 layers it crashes Premiere cc. Premiere will not display the box with options to import single layer, sequence etc. Any ideas?

  • I have an iPhone 4 and just did a software update and now my phone won't turn in. It looks like it wants me to connect to iTunes but I'm traveling and can't access my account...or don't know how. Help!

    I did a software update and cannot get my phone to turn off, on, or anything. It shows a gray apple and then an iTunes icon with a USB cable picture. I am not able to connect to my iTunes account because it's on my home computer (I'm traveling). It won't let me add my laptop because it says I have it tied to too many computers already and I can't deauthorize any of those computers because I don't know what they are, and I'm traveling. Can anyone help make my phone usable again? Preferably with contacts in tact.
    Pleeeeease!

    A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
    Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
    If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
    Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.
