How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

How can I get  my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ?  all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

  • How can I over ride my screen saver passwords to access my iBook G4?

    Yesterday, I called Tech. support via Apple and was provide a case number for my issue.
    The e-mail that was sent to me did not assist me.
    Today, I am told that I would need to purchase a 30 day technical support plan for $50.  They would not be able to assist me unless I paid into this (frustrated).
    Does anyone know how I can hack into my own iBook G4 without unnecessary expenses?
    Any references and or support is greatly appreciated.
    Respectfully,
    David

    Hi, David. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now? (Mac OS X 10.0 would not be possible on an iBook which was purchased new in 2004.)
    How much RAM is installed?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • Word of the day screen saver not working after upgrade?

    anyone else having the word of the day/dictionary screen saver not pop up anymore after the upgrade?

    Yes, precisely. The crash of "word of the day" cannot be related to the Lion upgrade. Some other issue must be at fault. And to clarify and be specific "Apple" did not say it was not supported but rather one person working in customer support said "word of the day" was not supported - and since some of us Lion users having the screen saver work and only just now failing, that one person at Apple seems to have made an error in guessing what the problem is. Why keep discussing this? Because "word of the day" is a useful screen saver in an educational setting and it is worth the effort to fix it and restore it as a screen saver option. Hoping there is a fix soon.

  • Anyone know where I can get an animated fireplace screen saver for my G4?

    I'm not sure this is the proper forum, but figured I could start here. I have been all over the internet looking and all I could find were these stupid cartoon-type drawings. I would love something that looks like a decent realistic fireplace with flames flickering. Right now I'm using the flurry, which is very pretty, but I really would love flames.
    Any suggestions? I wouldn't mind paying for the download if it was truly what I wanted.
    Zoe

    Hi Zoe,
    Try this one (which I've tired and would recommend - scroll down the page to fireplace) or this one(which I've not tried).
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I restore my old iTunes Time Machine backup after upgrading to Mavericks?

    I previously had Snow Leopard, and am wondering how I can simply restore ONLY my iTunes library from my Time Machine backup, last made only a few days ago when I had Snow Leopard. However, I seem to be unable to access anything backed up before I installed Mavericks. Any help would be great, because I'd hate to have to struggle to locate 160GB of music manually.
    Many thanks!

    Your choice really. Either way will work. Retaining the older backups gives you a way to restore older files. When I upgrade from 10.8 to 10.9, the backups continued without errors. Depending on what you upgraded from, in 10.8/9 you have the option to backup to 2 separate drives thus giving you some protection in case one drive fails. You can either copy the old backup to a new drive (Disk Utility/Restore seems to work best) or start a new one.

  • Screen Brightness control disappeared after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Hello all.
    I've just upgraded to Lion, and now I can't adjust the brightness of my screen anymore!
    Anyone else has this problem?

    I was having the same problem after I completely tore down my Macbook Pro mid-2010 in order to replace the keyboard.  (Phew!)  After re-asssembling, everything was working again except for the screen brightness buttons (F1,F2).  I figured it was a bad keyboard, but after zapping the p-ram, the brightness buttons now work as they should.  Thanks for the tip!

  • How can I download iPhoto 9.5?

    How can I download iPhoto 9.5?  My company MBP doesn't have iPhoto installed and I'm running OSX10.9.5.  iPhoto 9.6 requires 10.10.

    If it came with 9.x.x you can log into the App store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer and install form the purchases list - if it came with an older version (iPhoto '09 ore ear;tier) then you must purchase an iLife '11 DVD from eBay or amazon and install iphoto '11 from it then update to 9.5

  • How can get IHyphenatedWord?

    Hi
    how can get IHyphenatedWord? Will it return all  hyphenated words of a document?

    I'm already delving way too deep into this, experienced SDK programmers may be laughing at me ...
    But, yeah, I'd guess using the IWaxLine interface would be the correct choice here. IWaxLine represents an actual line, as laid out by the paragraph composer at duty, and so can tell you if its final word is broken or not.
    Some random googling turned up this:
    * IWaxLine points to a number of IWaxRuns
    * IWaxRun contains a starting text index and "the number of chars represented by this wax" (from the SDK Help)
    So -- still guessing -- you should have a pointer to the actual text that has been composed. Then you probably should go over its lines and check if LineEndsWithHyphen is true. If so, go over the wax runs of this line and gather the actual characters (perhaps that's also possible directly from IWaxLine). If you have gathered all the character of that line, you can scan for 'words', and that's between 'quotes' because you have to determine yourself what a 'word' is in this context.

  • How can you hide a Continue button until all clickboxes are clicked?

    I have seen similar questions to this one, but none seemed to be the exact situation as mine.
    What I have: Several images on a screen.  When a user clicks an image it is replaced with another image.  I am using clickboxes for this task.  I do not wish for them to toggle back and forth. Once they click the original image it should stay changed.
    What I am trying to do: Once a learner clicks all the images (in no particular order) a Continue button appears that allows them to go to the next screen.
    If anyone has some suggestions on this situation please let me know, thanks.

    I cannot log in on the forum for the moment, so will try by answering by
    mail. I was aware of that problem (have presented those solutions so
    often), thought that since you left all images visible once the click box
    was clicked it wouldn't be a problem.
    Two possible solutions:
       1. Easiest one: add a statement in the Always decision that will Hide
       the click box just clicked. It has no sense to click it another time. That
       will mean that you still can do it with a shared action but that shared
       action will have two parameters now, the second one being the click box
       that has to adapted on each application of the shared action.
       2. If you don't want to make the click box hidden (which means at the
       same time disabled), you'll need a user variable for each click box,
       starting with a default value of 0, and toggle it in the Decision 'Always'
       to 1. The second decision will then need a condition that checks the value
       of all the user variables (with AND) and shows the Next button only when
       all variables have the value of 1.
    Sorry, but have to mail, cannot offer a screenshot in that case.

  • How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

    How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

    QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all.   In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.
    The following may be helpful:

  • Downloaded file from internet and now I can't find it

    So my dumb ***  downloaded a file from the internet today from an untrusted source and now I can't find it anywhere except for when I click on the downloads button on the safari web browser (i.e. )
    I clicked on the file it shows that I downloaded and this pops up
    "Safari can’t show the file “4-More-PeopleAreUsingCellPhonestoListentoOnlineRadioinTheirCars.xlsx” in the Finder because “4-More-PeopleAreUsingCellPhonestoListentoOnlineRadioinTheirCars.xlsx” has moved since you downloaded it."
    I looked for it in the finder window under the "downloads" folder, looked under "All my files" sorted it by the date added, clicked on the magnifying glass next to the only place I can see it and the file still didnt show up in finder.
    help, anyone?

    I have no idea why it disappeared from your Mac. But I trust this reassures you there does not seem to be anything malicious about the file.
    You might want to search on your Mac using some of the key words in the file.
         Not that I am denying the results but out of curiousity how did you manage to download and locate the file when I didn't provide you with the website from which I downloaded it from?
         The thing is, what I supposedly downloaded wasn't supposed to be an xlsx file nor any type of text file for that matter. I got it from a website called ryushare.com.
    I also tried to search for it with the use of the key words in the file you found and no luck. Any way to know for a fact it's not going to affect my computer? Also, any way I can look for the file and delete it through terminal?
    Thanks again Eustace

  • Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?

    I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
    Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
    Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.
