Here is a basic tutorial for Vista, it should apply to WIN7.

How to Change the Screen Saver Settings to Mystify in Windows 7 using vbscript?

HI All,
How to Change the Screen Saver Settings to Mystify in Windows 7 using vbscript?
Thanks

First: What is a GPO?
Second: jrv, that was not too helpful in general. someone should do some actual code.
Bob Blork - Mark as answer if it helped!
This is a forum for technicians and not for home users. GPO is what technical people use to manage Windows. THe script to do this is in the link I posted - how is that not helpful?
I know this is all over your head. I am curious as to why you would respond in a technical forum to a question you do not understand.
We do not provide free scripts. We also will point users at correct answers.
This is not a forum for homw users or for simple support questions. It is also a thread that has been answered for a long time. Perhaps you should start a new thread if you have an actual question about scripting.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do I clear the Screen Saver?

How do I clear the Screen Saver from showing the photos on my phone?

You must have set it to use your photo stream as the screensaver. You can go into settings - screensaver to change to a different source.

Can I change the screen saver on my apple tv? or change the display to the awesome equalizer while i stream my music?

I am trying to find a way to change the screen saver for my apple tv while I stream my music. Anyone have a solution? Besides my photos, can i show the awesome equilizer? Or can I show the album artwork screensaver that the macs have? I feel like this feature is much needed on the Apple TV while I stream my music to the Apple TV 2nd generation!

Hi byee322!
If you are using devices that meets these criteria:
iPhone 4S (or later), iPad 2 (or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation)1
Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)2
Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n) network
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
you may want to try using a feature called Airplay Mirroring to show whatever you'd like on the screen while your music is playing. We have a couple of articles about that online that can tell you more information about Airplay Mirroring. The first one here is about using Mountain Lion to mirror the display from your Mac onto the TV to which the Apple TV is connected, and can be found here:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
The second is an article with more information about Airplay Mirroring in iOS, and can be found here:
iOS: How to use AirPlay Mirroring

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

IMac freezes when changing the screen saver

Hi all:
I originally posted this in the "Using Mac OS X" forum (iMac freezes when changing the screen saver, but thought I'd post here as well since the issue arises on a freshly installed OS.
We've got three 350MHz slot-loading G3 iMacs (with 512MB RAM) which we're planning to use for basic word processing. The install of Panther (10.3.5 from black retail cds with 10-seat volume license) went fine on the first two. Ran the updates to 10.3.9, installed MS Office 2004, everything working great (they're a little slow, but after all, they are only 350 MHz).
On the third, the first problem we noticed was the computer would lock up whenever we changed the screen saver from the default (Flurry; Computer Name also works). It continues to do so even after: repair permissions; repair disk; Disk Warrior; reset pram; reset nvram; reset pmu; change RAM; change hard drive; erase hard drive; write zeros to hard drive; reinstall with different set of retail CDs; trash preferences, and delete cache files. (If there's anything I've left out, it's in the other thread).
Now we've noticed that we can't create any new user accounts. We've thought about putting this one in production, just warning the user that they can't change the screen saver, but god only knows what will turn up next.
I'm starting to think it's a logic board issue, but could it be that selective? And would you see the same problem with another hard drive and different install discs? Am I missing something?
BTW, there's a crash log with the other thread.

Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm going to mark this one as answered.
I removed the hard drive from the iMac, and put it into another 350 MHz iMac, and everything works great. I can select any screen saver without having it freeze, create new accounts, whatever my little heart desires.
In checking the history of the problem iMac, there was an assortment of problems with booting (both from the hard drive and from the CD-ROM drive) which were never satisfactorily resolved. The problems just seemed to go away after sitting unplugged for a few days, as much as for anything we actually did to it.
Now we just have to decide whether it's worth fixing, or using it somewhere in a non-critical role with OS 9 installed.
Cheers,
Andrew

Can I change the screen saver pictures on Apple TV?

Can I change the screen saver pictures on Apple TV?

Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

How do I change the screen size to standard in iMovie 10?

I can't seem to find where to change the screen to standard size - in previous imovies it gave the option when creating the new project but this version doesn't seem to.

Star with:
Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > Sidebar > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas
If you need to have two cards on one page then just set up one using text boxes and images to the 4 x 6 (inches?), group them and option shift drag a second copy down the page so you then have 2 and alter the copy as you need.
Change the text and images to placeholders, capture those as a Layout and then save that as a template.

1. To make the individual card follow the instructions for Labels & Business cards but use your size:
2. To make the placeholders see Double folded Greeting Card.
3. To make the template follow Letterhead and follower sets ignoring the irrelevant bits, and only capturing one page, before saving as a template.

Changing the Screen Saver for the Login Window

I've found how I can change the WALLPAPER for the LOGIN Window.
How can I change the screensaver from the default to one that I have installed?
TECH INFO:
OS X 10.6.2
Admin account has desired screensaver loaded and activated.
The screensaver I'm wanting to have as the login window screensaver is MARINE AQUARIUM 3.0 (414)
THANKS!

ok, what you suggested definitely does NOT work as is. what does work as I found by doing a little googling is adding two entries specifically concerning the screensaver over login window to /library/preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist. Namely, you need to add the keys loginWindowIdleTime and loginWindowModulePath. no other new entries are needed.
for example, the following/library/preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist works for me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>loginWindowIdleTime</key>
<integer>60</integer>
<key>loginWindowModulePath</key>
<string>/System/Library/Screen Savers/Nature Patterns.slideSaver</string>
<key>moduleDict</key>
<dict>
<key>moduleName</key>
<string>Skyrocket</string>
<key>path</key>
<string>System/Library/Screen Savers/Nature Patterns.slideSaver</string>
<key>type</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
so far i have not been able to make it work with any 3rd party screensavers even placed in /system/library/screensavers. launchd throws up an error when I try. still, this is MUCH better than nothing so thank you for letting us know about this.

How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
thank you,

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
(The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

How to turn off the Screen Saver in 10.4.8

I've been running tiger since 10.4.5 and do not want the OSX screen saver activated. Until now it has been sufficient to set screen saver to "never" in System preferences. After upgrading to 10.4.8, however, this does not prevent the screen saver from turning itself on.
I've done the usual magic, like repairing file permissions, without it helping much. Anybody have any suggestions?
best,
bob_tm

Hmmm... it did not work. I deleted the file and then the screen saver type and the time reverted to (I guess) default values. Then setting it to "never" did not fix the problem - the screen saver still came on within an hour (I would guess after default time - I was away for an hour).
Doing a "find" I saw that there was also such a file under "Safe Preferences" - should I delete that as well?
Any other pointers? Should I reboot as well?
best,
bob_tm
