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.

  • IPhoto screen-saver Slide show, where is it?

    I'm looking for pictures that show in the Screen saver slide show but not in iPhoto or Aperture folders.
    They were there last week.
    Hoping for help!

    I had a quick scan of those comments, and most of those are from more than 18 months ago. The comments from this year are either: factually wrong ("very few slideshow designs" - it has 35 or thereabouts) or complaints about the Upgrade policy.
    There is no substitute for downloading and trying it yourself.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Screen saver slide show keeps reverting to National Geographic photos?

    Hi all - quick question about a minor annoyance.  I have the screen saver set to display photos from one of my iPhoto photo sets using the built in screen saver options.  For no apparent reason, it occasionally decides to stop displaying my photos and instead starts displaying the National Geographic photos instead, which is one of the options in the screen saver setup.  I can go to settings and change it back to my photos but it always seems to eventually go back.  I can't find any rhyme, reason or pattern to this happening - if its something that I am doing, I've got no idea what it could be.
    Anyone have any idea how I might be accidentally causing this, or is this some sort of bug?  Any way to prevent it from happening?  Any help appreciated.  Not sure but I am pretty sure this did not happen before Yosemite.

  • E72 Screen Saver Slide Show Issues

    I have my e72 setup to run a slideshow when it goes into power save mode...
    It works fine but after awhile, it goes from slide show mode into displaying a "clock".
    I would think it would just repeat the slide show over and over?
    What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    There is a max of x (1?) minutes for the power saver.

  • How do I make a slide show for a Mac that is not a video file?

    I made a .mov slide show at "Display Quality" using iPhoto on my Mac Mini 2011 and it was 334 MB file size.  When I made a similar show using Photodex ProShow Gold on my Windows PC (Windows executable file) it was only 14 MB and of equal quality (actually slightly higher resolution).  I beleive the differnce in file size is because iPhoto is exporting a movie while ProShow is not.  Is there any way to get the file size of a Mac slide show to a resonable size, yet retaining the quality one can get on a Windows PC?  I would like to place the slide show on my web-site.

    iPhoto lets you export as a webpage.  This will create a webpage based slideshow of all the selected photos you can upload to your website.

  • How long is it save to keep notebook turned on

    how long is it save to keep notebook turned on, not to worry about hardware failure?
    i'va got g560 and courrious if i can keep it turned on for example 2 weeks, or where's the limit (if any)?
    dont worry. i dont want to make notebook server, i'm just courious
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    From my personal experience (with a Sony Vaio notebook which I still use), I (the end user) should be able to leave my laptop on for as long as I like and should not experience any hardware failure whatsoever. I have had my computers "on" (running with moderate use, idling, put to sleep mode then reawakened... basically it was never shut down or restarted) for weeks and months! Basically I have my full confidence for Sony brands; notebooks, cameras, TVs, what have you.
    As for Lenovo, I think I should be able to treat it the same as how I treat my Sony. This is my first Lenovo purchase, which is a G560 as well, so only time will tell what it can handle. I have friends who have mainly Thinkpads and as far as I can tell, those are very durable. But I am fairly certain that engineering teams are of different levels skill and seniority wise when designing these two very different laptops for different end users. Hence, why I have already experienced issues with my G560 right out of the box. But hopefully they will all get resolved (this forum seems like a more helpful place than tech support fortunately or sadly depending on how you see it).

  • How long does screen replacement take in Apple Retail store? UK

  • How long does Mail save messages?

    How long does Mail save messages? What happens to them at the end of that period?

    Depends. If you have a POP account and download your messages, then they are on your hard drive until you delete them. However, unless you enable the option to save email messages on the server once downloaded the message are deleted from the server immediately. Your email ISP may retain backups for some period of time, but you would need to ask them about it.
    If you have and IMAP account your messages are saved on the server unless you delete them. They will be retained on the server indefinitely.

  • How do I use Firebug with a website I created? I want to see how long each thing takes to load on the page. The server is very slow.

    I have created a website/blog with Wordpress. It appears to be on a slow server because it can't be opened or takes forever to open. A representative from Wordpress told me to download Firebug to find out how long each thing takes to load on the page. I downloaded Firebug but I can't figure out how to use it. Please advise.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

  • How do I create a slide show in a separate, non iPhoto folder?

    I moved about a 1000 photos from iPhoto to a new folder I created in an external drive to save space in iPhoto. How do I create a slide show in the new folder? When I click a photo to enlarge it it goes into Preview mode which enables you to have a slide show. But do I have to click and enlarge all 1000 photos? There is bound to be a simpler way.
    Thanks,
    Max

    MaxFS,
    I see you are still using Jaguar, is this true?
    With Tiger (10.4) you can select all the photos in a folder
    control click on the photos and scroll to "slideshow"
    You can also select all the photos in the folder
    double click on the selection to have them open in Preview
    In preview use the option for a slideshow.
    This does tell me that you might have a newer version of OS X than what is noted in your specs.
    Also, I think there is a limit to the number of photos that will open in a slideshow or preview. It might be around 99 or 150 (I can't remember right now)

  • How do I loop a slide show in Elements?

    How do I loop a slide show in Elements. The slide show is made and runs, biut only once.

    I don’t think it’s possible in the slideshow editor but the simplest method is to place your photos in an album and then select the first thumbnail and hit the F11 key. Select the tools icon and choose repeat.

  • How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?

    How long does the IPhone5c battery last for without hardly any usage with about 2/3 to 3/4 left?
    Has the side affect of charging, where the battery's life gradually decreases overall with each charge, been fixed ?

    Eric,
    They did say 12-14 hours, but as is always the case with such estimates, they invariably quote the 'best possible scenario' and almost never mirror 'real world' conditions.
    If, from a fully charged position, you simply switch on your nano, and set it to continuously play through a long set of songs, with EQ off, backlight off, modest volume (50%) don't touch it during playback, then you might just get somewhere near this figure - and if you don't then it's either not been conditioned properly or it's faulty.
    If you use it like me, daily for a couple of hours, with 2 secs backlight and switch songs regularly, using fairly high volumes then 6-8 hours is more likely. It'll even drain when it's not in use, even in sleep mode, albeit very slowly. They also tend to drain more quickly before they've been through their first few charge cycles (the conditioning period).
    Personally I haven't got a problem with this though I can understand why some people have. It's not very impressive in this respect. Apple should be able to come up with something much better - maybe they should talk to Sony
