How to use iPhoto in screen saver under maverick os

With the Lion or Leopard O/S i am able to use my pictures directly from iPhoto as screensavers. However after upgrade to Maverick, it is now impossible to select iPhoto events as a source for any of the screensavers!
any ideas, please help!

I too am having the same issue. I have a circa 2007 iMac, and recently upgraded to OS 10.9.1. I also moved all of my photos to an external hard drive (currently have iPhoto 9). When I try to set to set up the computer screensaver, the iphoto library on the external drive is greyed out.
I may upgrade to iPhoto 11 if that it requirement, but if there is an easier solution, I will go for that.
Thanks for any feedback!!

I recently got apple tv but the photo stream only seems to show up those photos which I took in September and no others (ie. 20 out of around 100). Any ideas why the earlier photos on my photo stream in ipad don't show up on apple tv?

Automatic Ken burns and framing in iPhoto and Screen saver

I am generating a slideshow from iPhoto. When I have framed the photos properly I am checking my slideshow as a screen saver. Automatic Ken Burns options and framing are ok. Now I try to generate a slideshow directly in iPhoto, and the framing is completely changed and the Ken Burns options are different.
How can I get the parameters of the screen saver properly in iPhoto?
Is there a way to know which parameters are used in the screen saver and be set as the defaults parameters of the iPhoto slideshow?
Otherwise I found it difficult to set the same parameters as the screen saver for framing and Ken Burns.
I have tried to do the job with iMovie, it behaves the same as iPhoto, not a the screen saver.
iPhoto is version is 7.1.4
Mac os X is 10.4.11
I would be grateful.

I do not have the feeling that the rendering engine of the screen saver option of the System Preferences of Mac OS X is different from the one included in iPhoto or in iMovie. But the difference between the first and the two others at least is the parameter setting is done automatically.
I have tried since at least two other slideshows, and I could get for fex photos the same settings thant for the system screensaver.
However as my slide show is about 140 photos, I was looking for a global setting instead of a one by one slide.
Any further comments?
Thanks for the thoughts in any case.

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.

This is a bug, see this thread:
Re: Add to iPhoto not working from Mail app
For a work-around see wales34 post in the link above:
To save a photo in an email to iPhoto make a detour to Preview:
instead of clicking "Save" photo in the email, click "Quick Look"
Expand the photo to full screen
click the icon for "Add to iPhoto".

How to use conditional success Screen in SMP2.3 HWC?

Hi All,
Do anybody have reference for conditional success screen,
I gone through this link SUP 2.2 Conditional Navigation Issue
but i didnt able to do how to use conditional success Screen.
If anybody have reference please provide me.
Regards,
Sravanya

That works. Follow the below steps.
1. Create a key on the selection screen: click on the selection screen>properties>keys>Add a key,ex. "value".
2. MenuItem>In the properties of menu item>Parameter mappings>map the key with the key created in last step.ie. "value" instead of the key of the choice box.
3. Get the value selected from choicebox:
function customValidateScreen(screenKey, values) {
if(screenKey === "Selection")
var form = document.forms[screenKey + "Form"];
if(form){
SelectionValue = form.ChoiceboxKey.value;
//ChoiceboxKey is the key of choicebox.
//Declare a global value "SelectionValue "
3. Map PK from program:
customBeforeSubmit = function(screenKey, actionName, dataMessageToSend) {
if(screenKey =="Selection" && actionName=="GoToChart" ){
var myNewValue2 = new MessageValue();
myNewValue2.setKey("Value");// Key created in the screen "Selection"
myNewValue2.setValue(""+SelectionValue );
myNewValue2.setType("TEXT");
var mvc = dataMessageToSend.getValues();
if( mvc ) {
mvc.add( myNewValue1.getKey(), myNewValue1 );
// So in the above way the data from choice box is send to online request.
To do the conditional navigation you have to use the global value created,ex.
hwc.customConditionalNavigation = function(currentScreenKey, actionKeyName, defaultNextScreen, conditionName, incomingDataMessage) {
if( conditionName === 'Data'&& SelectionValue == "PieChart") {
         return false;
     }else{
    return true;
Hope you understand how I did this.

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?

Screen Saver changes on it’s own

I have been taking photos for years and have thousands. When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them. Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few? Thanks.

The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

HT5037 How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

Hello Terence,
sorry that I come here with a completly different thema but I follow your answers since long and they are always excellent! And I do not know who could help... as I can not find the solution in Apple Support Communities.
I am very afraid with my MacBook Pro: midd. 2012
Prozessor: 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
Kernel-Version: Darwin 12.5.0
iPhoto 11, Version: 9.4.3 (720.91)
iPhone 4s, 64GB Version:7.0.2 (11A501),
Symptoms:
1. I have notice three days ago that Spotlight allways answers I should go to the web when I look for data in my computer. It seems that Spotlight can not find anything from my computer.
2. Timemachine has no data before the 28th. January 2014 (!?) No idea why this happens
3. In Finder window when I go to "Alle meine Daten"(= All my data) there is absolutely nothing there...it means 0 objekts are there.
4.In Systemeinformationen (=Systeminformations) if I go to Software and then to Programs... there is nothig there because the Plug-In do not react quick enough (Das Plug-In hat beim Sammeln dieser Informationen nicht schnell genug reagiert). I am asking me which Plug-In it is and where to find it...
5. On my iPhone the Photo-stream suddenly shows only 110 fotos from Dezember on, but in My MacBookPro the iPhoto Stream shows of course the lasts 1000 ones...from 25.01.2013 to 03.02.14 as it did allways before.
I am not going to sync anything until I discover what is going on...
6. On my Contacts suddenly appeared the link address of a "game" in my own card ( both in iCloud and Lokal AddressBook)... and I have never ever played an online game (!?). So I deleted this two links as I discovered them some days ago...
I do not know what is going wrong here but I'm afraid to loose all my data in the computer, so I am making a secure copy in an external drive right now...
Could it be a virus inside... a software problem may be...?
The mayor Problem is how to get the programms to work (Spotlight, etc), or how to repair them.
I'm trying to find something wrong in the Protocols I have here, for example
- the Repair protocol for users from 27.01.2012 ( /Users/Begona/Library/logs/fsck_hfs.log).
- the Datasystem-Reppairprotocol from 01.02. 14 (/var/log/fsck_hfs.log)
- the Installationsprotocol from 04.02.14...
but I am really lost.
Thank you very much for reading this, help would be high appreciated
