How to disable screen saver altogether ?

I'd like to disable screen saver so that my screen goes black during non use (especially at night). Just don't seem to find the right place to do just that
Thanks

Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and under the Sleep tab is the selection for putting the display to sleep when the computer has been inactive for selected period of time.
If you select the screen saver to run after 15 minutes, you can select 1hr to put the display to sleep as an example.

How to disable screen saver when watchin videos in full screen in firefox??

This happens only with Firefox, other browsers play videos normally and uninterrupted. I want to keep my window default screen saver but not when watching in full screen mode.

The Flash Player plugin normally should block the system from going to sleep, reducing display brightness, or going to screen saver when you use its full screen mode. It's strange that you have this issue with Flash.
There are some workarounds, like using an add-on or external program that simulates moving your mouse, but those really shouldn't be necessary.
VLC, I don't know.
By the way, have you shut down and restarted Windows since this problem first occurred? Just in case some shared component of Windows has crashed.

"Disable Screen Saver" hot corner no longer prevents Display Sleep

I am not sure whether it started only after I upgraded to 10.5.7, but I certainly have this very annoying issue right now.
I have "Disable Screen Saver" assigned to the top right "hot corner". Some time ago I could place my mouse pointer there in order to prevent activating of "Display Sleep" (as well as gradually dimming before jumping into bed).
It no longer works. I have my pointer in the right corner, and nevertheless the display first dims, then goes to sleep.
Is this only my problem? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

Anybody?

How to disable screen power save mode

Hello, everybody!
I have an issue with screen power save mode in Solaris 6 and I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Here's the problem description: (as root user) by using the GUI "Style Manager" I go to "Screen" and configure both "Screen Saver" and "Screen Lock" to "off" (I also set the "startup" to "resume current session" and clicked "Set Home Session"), however the screen power save mode is still on and after 30 minutes it is activated. How can I disable it? Is there any other command or configuration specifically to control the screen?
Thanks in advance!

It may be that the power management software is turning off the monitor. Run the command dtpower to view/configure the power management settings.

How to disable the Save button For a pdf?

Hi,
I have a requirement that when you open the livecycle developed pdf, the Save option available in the toolbar (Save As icon) and File menu of the Reader should be disabled. A button will be provided in the form separately to provide the Save functionality. Can anybody help me reg. this? Is there any setting available for this in Adobe Pro or any other tool?
Regards,
Maria

It's not really difficult to disable the save button. But it depends on the context from where you want to delete it. even if you disable the save button the user has the option to print screen and create a fresh pdf. So your question has some philosophical aspects to deal with. Please mail me at [email protected] incase of further quries. I've understood your problem and have got a solution but it's not somewhat legitimate to do. I can share it with you through email.

HT204379 Choose how long each screen saver slide shows for?

There used to be an option to choose how many seconds each "slide" would show in Screen Saver. I don't see that option in Mountain Lion, only how many minutes until Screen Saver comes on. Is there still any way to do that? My slides change more quickly than I want them to...

Thank you for the advice, but I think you misunderstood what I am trying to do. I know about Home Sharing and have set this up along with many of my photo albums. I can access them when my Apple TV is on.
I am trying to customize the screen saver for the Apple TV. When I go into settings - Screen Saver, I get a list including National Geographic, Flowers, etc. and also My ICloud. I choose My ICloud and it gives me two Options - Photo Streaming (which contains pictures taken in the last 30 days) and a second Option - Activity. I am guessing this would allow me to use specific photos. But it says "This album is empty." I would like to use about 30 - 40 photos as my screen saver but have no idea how to get them into that Activity album.
I created an Activity Album in IPhoto, filled it with the photos I want to use, then tried to share it to ICloud. The color wheel stays on for awhile which I thought was indicating the transfer. But I go back to Apple TV, turn it on, go to Settings - Screen Saver but it still shows Activity is empty.

Disable screen saver - Mac mini with OS X version 10.6.4

I am trying to disable the screen saver on a Mac Mini with Mac OS X version 10.6.4.
I have tried to disable it from System Preferences setting it to "never" and I have tried as well using the "defaults" command to set the idleTime in com.apple.screensaver to 0. Unfortunately, the screen saver starts after 20 minutes.
I have checked and there is no process with a name similar to screen saver.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Antonio

Hi dkaramit,
Thank you for your answer. The energy settings are set to never. I checked it as well with pmset -g. In addition, the screen saver in the com.apple.screensaver plist file appears after 20 minutes of inactivity.

How to delete screen saver preferences

Friends,
I'm running an imac 27 i7 with fully up-to-date snow leopard. I have my screen saver set to an aperture smart folder with family photos. Periodically, the machine switches the screen saver folder to a completely unrelated folder of about five photographs. It's annoying, to say the least.
I'd like to delete the screen saver preferences and see if that helps. How do I find them?
Thanks!
Steve

Doug,
When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
Any ideas? Thx, Mike

HOW TO DISABLE THE SAVEAS OPTION OF A BROWSER?

Hi all,
Nice to be back again folks.....
Well I need to develop an Applet (perhaps even a swing) which when loaded by any browser would disable the SaveAs option of the browser's File menu.
I tried using the Frame class of java.awt package, the code is:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class WinAppl extends Applet
int mc;
String str="NO OF MENUS: ";
Font fnt=new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,12);
MenuBar mb;
Frame frame=new Frame("SNODX");
Window window;
public void init()
frame.setBackground(Color.red);
frame.setForeground(Color.black);
this.setFont(fnt);
mb=frame.getMenuBar();
if(mb!=null)
mc=mb.getMenuCount();
str+=mc;
else
str+="ZERO";
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.drawString(str,50,50);
but when this applet is loaded ALL the menus of the browser disappear .i.e when this frame applet is loaded by the browser only the title bar of the browser and a red colored window appear, no menus. I dont want all the menus to be hidden, just the SaveAs option of Browser's File Menu to be disabled.
Thanks in advance.
True to my nature I am posting this question in some of the other Java forums as well. And as usual sorry for the multiple postings.

Applets usually have absolutely no control over the browser they are running in (with the exception of loading other web pages and other very high level stuff). You won't be able to write an applet that disables entries in the menu bar. And even if you could it wouldn't really help you because most browsers write everything they download to disc (to the cache) where it can be recovered by anybode.
Last but not least: there are lots of tools for mirroring web sites that will allow users to download and save anything that is accessible for browsers.
However, you may be able to disable the menu bar and perhaps even change entries in some browsers like ie by activeX controls or javascript. Still this is not a very friendly way for a website to behave...

How to display screen saver every 10 seconds ?

I want to display Screen Saver every 10 seconds as long as the user doesn't make anything on his computer.
I did that :-
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
declare
     t timer;
begin
     t:= create_timer('Hany',10000,repeat);
end;
WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED
if :System.MODE = 'NORMAL' then
     Host('C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssmypics.scr');
End if;
but in RunTime the Screen Saver's Setting appear not the Screen Saver itself ..... like shown below :-
http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/245/errorv.png
that's seems weird because when I run the Screen Saver directly from Start>>RUN :-
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssmypics.scr
it is working nice without appearing of the setting.
so, what's went wrong ????
I attached the fmb file to have a look for it if you like:-

Edited by: HanyFreedom on Apr 14, 2009 3:40 PM

There is a built-in screensaver in windows, why rebuilt that functionality on your own? If you really need it, try
HOST('cmd /c C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssmypics.scr');I assume that you are using forms 6i? For in 10g this will now work on the client-side, because HOST is executed on the app-server.

How to find screen saver picture in photo library

I use my very large iPhoto library as the source for screen saver photos on my Mac. From time to time a photo pops up that I would like to go to in the iPhoto library. I had hoped that this could be accomplished by just clicking on it — but that, of course, does not work. Is there a way or app to accomplish what I would like to be able to do?

Afraid not.

How to disable "Open, Save and Save As" prompt

I'm using IE 10.
I'd like to disable the prompt "Open, Save or Save as". Each time I tried to any document (ex. DOC or PDF file), IE will popup the follow prompt: "What do you want to do with ..."
I saw there are some similar threads, but they are particular for SharePoint.
Thank you!
Peter

Each time I tried to any document (ex. DOC or PDF file), IE will popup the follow prompt: "What do you want to do with ..."
You might be able to add Open with... to a right-click menu.   But that will probably only help for files which are local, e.g. don't need to be downloaded. I think the reason for the prompt is essentially to help route the download and notify
users of the fact that if they just try to open it they will be opening a temporary file.  E.g. it typically always goes into the TIF first. You could probably confirm and refine these ideas using ProcMon, e.g. looking for tests of registry
values and writes of files.
For example, I just did a BING search for filetype:doc, did a right-click Open (as one of the other thread's responders had suggested) and still see the above prompt, because the file has not been downloaded yet. That's IE's job so that's how
it does it, with a prompt. But then since there is a filetype association for the .doc extension when I choose Open no more intervention is required (although as the prompt notes "The file won't be saved automatically." so if a user tries to update it,
e.g. a Word document or a spreadsheet, anything they do would only be preserved if they did a File Save As... or whatever those applications provide for that use case.)
In fact, that warning is probably the main reason for the prompt when such an explicit Open command is given. It would be interesting to see if IE could take advantage of some information left in the filetype that would indicate that it wouldn't matter
if the file was temporary because it couldn't be reused anyway--for example, if the program associated with the open action could not update the file, examples being Acrobat Reader and WordViewer.   Again, I think the simplest way to find out would
be to trace what happens and make changes to try to exploit the possibilities implied by the trace.
On another tack you could see if there are any hints or tips given by using
FileTypesMan from NirSoft. E.g. it might help you find some particular values to try for EditFlags and BrowserFlags (some obscure registry values which are somewhat obsolete but may still have at least some of their original
effect).
