How do i delete a screen saver?

i just downloaded a screen saver a few weeks ago, but then decided i didn't want it
i went into my library and then in the screen saver folder, and deleted it
when i went back in system preferences, it was still there, and it still works
it was a 10 day demo so now i keep on getting a pop-up saying my demo is over and i either have to register or remove the trial
i click on "remove trial" and i get another pop up saying
"the serene saver 2 hd uninstaller is missing from /library/application support/serene saver scenes. it's called 'uninstall serene saver' you will have to manually remove serene saver from the /library/screen savers folder then reboot."
the problem is, i already did that a while ago
i was wondering if i would maybe have to re-download serene saver and then remove it
if anyone could help that would be great!

Yeah, it looks like you might have to Install it again to run the uninstaller!
There is a chance it'll say nothing to install, in which case we'll have to take a different tack.

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.

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

Go to the website from where you got the screensaver from and read its system requirements and instructions for installation.

How do I create a screen saver from a video file?

I've been trying to search for an answer to this question for 20 minutes, without luck, so I figured the best course of action is to ask the experts.
I'm a video editor. If I cut together a series of clips, of any length, how do I make that movie into a screen saver that will be usable on OS X Lion and Windows XP? I would assume that it's just a matter of converting the movie file to something that an operating system recognizes and will play as a screen saver (on both platforms), but I cannot Google my way into finding the answer... I'm wanting to make a video screen saver for my wife for Christmas. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are a few tools you can use. This page lists a couple. It looks like you can download a trial version and see if it'll do what you want. If not there's another one on that page.
If you're handy with programming, you can also create your own with Xcode. There's an article here that talks about it, though it's a bit old, and might be somewhat out of date.
But just dropping SWF files probably isn't going to work. A screen saver is a special kind of program...

How Do I Create a Screen Saver That Uses Shared Photos??

I have a pretty simple request here, or at least I think it should be pretty simple. My family uses a shared photo stream so that we can all see what everybody is up to without sending a bunch of individual messages.
I'm going to use a screen saver that displays photos but the tricky part is...I'd like the family's shared stream to be the source for all the photos.
Previously, I went into iPhoto and just selected all of the photos from the stream, dragged them into a desktop folder, and set this as the source for the screen saver. The only problem with this method is that whenever a new photo is added, it won't show up in the screen saver (obviously). That's why I'd like to set the shared photos as the source.
Is there a simple way to do this and set the shared photos as the screen saver source?? I would even settle for doing the alternate method that I described in the last paragraph, but I can't even figure out how to do this with the new "Photos" app...
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in advance...
Pete

Pete, setting the screensaver is a matter of patience, the menus are very slow, if you just set up the system and the spotlight index has still to be recreated.
But you should be able to it this way:
Open the Desktop&Screensaver System preferences, select the Screensaver tab.
In the left pane select a screensaver template for slideshows.
In the right pane select the Source menu.
Now wait and have a cup of coffee, while "Loading is showing"
Then select the last item "Photo Library".
Wait again, until your current photo libraries are shown.
Select the Photos library,
Select the Shared section and your shared family stream.

How do I dump a screen saver?

I have a screen saver that is NOT from Firefox, and I'd really like to get rid of it as it is annoying. Please tell me how I can dump it permanently. I have already uninstalled EVERYTHING associated with it, but it is still there interrupting my use of the computer.It is Marine Aquarium Lite from Mindspark

Firefox has nothing to do with the Screen Saver feature in the operating system.
You may have gotten rid of the '''''toolbar''''', but you still have a plugin installed which Firefox knows about ''(in your More System Details listing from when you asked this question)'' - '''MindSpark Toolbar Platform Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows '''
Remove that garbage from your computer through Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.

How do I stop/remove screen saver photos in default collections?

I installed Mavericks with no problems, however, I want to get rid of the screen savers/default collections. The desktop/wallpaper seems to be working fine: it rotates through my own "desktop pictures" collection. However, I have been unable to eleminate the default collections photos from the screen savers. In System Preferences the source for screen savers is my "desktop pictures" folder, and my photos do come up, however, all the default collections photos are mixed in. If I uncheck Shuffle Slide Order, the default collections photos come on first.
Now, here's the mystery: I deleted (with a Secure Empty Trash) the default collections photos! The folder is empty. I've also put all the
com.apple.screensaver..... plist files in the trash. But they aren't deleted. Where are these photos coming from? Why do they still show up? What do I have to do to get rid of them? I've searched the hard drive (as best I can) using a couple of the file names, but nothing comes up. Would I get a better search by using Terminal?

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
