    Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists. Also,

    Only screen saver appears when connected to HDTV?

    Check the Energy Saver and Screen Saver settings, sounds like you have Energy Saver kicking-in before Screen Saver.

  • I use Time Machine with an external hard disc which has worked perfectly for some years.  Recently Time Machine has aborted backups if the screen saver starts when back-up is in progress. I use a Maxtor OneTouch4 back-up system.  Any ideas?

    Has Apple recently up-dated my OS (Lion) such that every time the screen saver starts it disables Time Machine.  I have to switch-off the computer and re-start in order to undertake  a back-up.  I have now switched of all screen savers.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Screen Saver On When Logged out

    Hi, all,
    We have 4 iMacs at work that are bound to the domain via AD. I've configured them such that when a student is logged on, if 15 minutes of idle time has passed, the Shell screen saver will turn on. All four are doing this correctly.
    However, one of the iMacs turns on the Shell screensaver when a user is logged out of the computer. The other 3 are not turning on the Shell screen saver when a student is logged out -- which is what I want.
    I have configured the iMacs and have customized the default profile, English.lproj file, and backed up the original. I use the customized profile for students.
    Suggestions on why this is happening? Thnx in advance.

    From my experience, I don't believe that you can activate the screen saver from the login window. If you don't have external devices that prevent it, the Mac eventually goes to sleep. There seem to be few work around options.
    In the Accounts System Preferences, under Login Options, you can choose to have the Restart, Shutdown and Sleep buttons available in the login window. Then instruct everyone to Sleep the Mac when they log out.
    If you prefer the Screen Saver, the other option is to go to the Security System Preferences and use Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver. Then in the Desktop and Screen Saver Preferences under Screen Saver set up a hotcorner(s) which imediately activates the Screen Saver when the mouse is rolled to that corner(s). Then leave the Mac signed into an account and have folks always activate the Screen Saver when the Mac is idle. You can reinforce that by setting the Screen Saver to self activate after a very short period. But having to enter a password gets old to some folks if the Screen Saver activates too quickly, too often. You don't mention your setting, whether these are family accounts or a work environment. Security has its importance in both settings!
    I don't have multiple accounts on my Mac, so I can't test whether those work arounds need to be set in each individual account or just the Admin Account.

  • I WANT COLLAGE SCREEN SAVER IN IPHOTO AS A SLIDESHOW OPTION!

    i love the new Collage screen saver in Leopard. Is it possible to use that (or Mosaic) as an optional slideshow in iPhoto?
    if not, it needs to be!

    I suggest opening iPhoto and reverting back to iPhoto in the Preferences for photo editing. Quit iPhoto. Restart your Mac for good measure. Open iPhoto and again choose Photoshop Elements in Preferences as the editing app.
    As far as editing, I don't have PE, but I have another editing app form the Mac App Store, ColorStrokes. I have been experimenting with using it for editing iPhoto photos and it works flawlessly. After setting ColorStroke as the editing app, I open a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button in the menu bar below the photo. Color Stoke immediately opens with the photo and I complete my editing. When I have finished editing I choose to Save the photo, leave the name the same and agree to replace the iPhoto photo of the same name. I quit ColorStroke and the photo in iPhoto now has all of my edits from ColorStroke.
    Should I decide that I prefer the original photo, I open the photo in iPhoto and choose Revert to Original in the Photos pulldown menu.

  • Apple TV locked up on main menu and then goes to screen saver. Still locked

    Apple TV not even 18 months old. Now out of warranty. Have reset by pulling the plug out aswell as holding the 2 buttons on the remote for 6 secs. No luck. After pulling the plug out for 30 secs and then back in, the Apple intro movie plays, then it goes to main menu. Cursor stuck on Top Movies. It won't budge and I know the remote works as I see the yellow light on the front of Apple TV working and it also works with my Macbook Pro. After the main menu appears the screen saver comes on and its still not responding to my remote.
    Any suggestions please? I'll be bummed if I have to throw this out after 18 months as it cost a few $ and I don't believe Apple will fix it for free. BTW it has been working brilliantly for the last 18 months when connected to my MB Pro. Now its connected to my iMac. In iTunes where I sync everything, I have told it not to sync anything so that the Apple TV is now empty of content. Still no luck. U would think they would have put a hard reset button on the back like they have for my AE Base station/router.
    Thx in advance.

    Thankyou all for your replies and advice.
    I can confirm that the remote is still working by using it with my MB Pro. I have not changed any settings with the remote re pairing/unpairing.
    In a nustshell, I took all my media from my much smaller MB Pro and put it on my much larger iMac. I then added a huge amount of music files to the iMac and in turn synced it with the Apple TV - all 160Gb of the Apple TV was then full. Then it seemed to stop working. In particular when I tried to play an MPEG4 movie that had previously played, it came up with an error message of sorts stating that the video could not be played due to an unrecognised format.
    I even tried to play an iTunes documentary that I had d/loaded from the Apple store that also previously played. Same error message.
    I can't try the unpairing command as the Apple TV will not respond to the remote. Its off at a repair shop so will let the forum know of what success I may have!
    Once again thx for the advice guys.

  • Screen Saver activates when it shouldn't

    I have noticed that since upgrading to 10.6, that my screen saver auto-activates despite being set to not do so. Is anyone else noticing this?

    No. I was in my home office, by myself, with the doors shut. Went looking for the AppleTV remote just in case one of my kids was playing with it. It was still on a high shelf, where I keep it out of their reach. Strange...

  • Just got the new iPad 4, and recently it won't let photos become my screen saver for my lock,screen, and home screen, just wanted to know why?

  • How do I change the appearance of password page on Yosemite? Not my desktop or screen saver but when I wake my computer up and put in my password. The Yosemite colors and images are awful! Thank you.

    Appearance of Yosemite password page - how to change it from the automatic one?
    I can't remember what previous operating systems showed at this point but I do not remember being disturbed by it every time I woke my computer up as I am now!
    It's not my desktop or screensaver but when I wake up my computer and am asked for my password.
    Thanks.

    This is Fiona who asked the question. It's now been pointed out to me that the image is actually my desktop photo blurred. From close up I just saw contorted colors and blurred lines and hadn't linked it to my desktop photo!
    Still would like to know the answer because I hate it. Any ideas anyone?

  • Screen saver (lock) based on location

    I have several locations on my Macbook Air.  When I am at work, I want the screen saver to come up after a certain interval and lock my screen however, when I am at home, I would like to disable the screen lock but still am OK with it dimming and the screen going dark.  Is there a way to do that?
    Paul

    This process works well, and is easier than a key stroke:
    Under the "Security and Privacy" tab in System Preferences, click the box next to 'Require password [immediately] after sleep or screen saver begins." Then, under the "Mission Control" tab, click "Hot Corners" in the bottom-left corner. Choose a corner (I have mine set for bottom-right) and click the tabbed menu. Choose either 'put display to sleep' or 'start screen saver.' When you are about to leave your desk, just drag your mouse to the bottom-right corner until the screen sleeps or your screen saver kicks in. Simple as that!

  • Password prompt after screen saver or lock screen

    I am running Yosemite on two Macs – an early-2008 MBP 15" and a mid-2010 MBP 13". Both are configured for password after screen saver or when waking up. I have hot corners configured to enable screen saver (lower left), lock screen (upper right), disable screen saver (lower right). On awakening from either screen saver or lock screen, the 15" requests the password in a screen similar to the login after boot or switch user screen – the fullscreen, blurry background, prompt in the center. The 13" prompts for a password in an ordinary modal dialogue window that includes a lock icon and displays on a black background. The 13" has an external monitor attached, but the behavior is the same if it's disconnected. Both systems have one user, and identical settings in Users and Groups. The behavior is the same whether the Guest user is enabled or disabled.
    I can't find any settings to account for the difference, even obscure ones shown in Onyx. Any ideas as to why the password prompt is handled differently in these two cases? Thanks in advance...

    On PC's you can lock your screen when you walk away and must enter your login password to unlock.  Is there a keyboard sequence where you can lock your Mac the same way?

  • Can I create an album of select photos to stream was screen saver when listening to my iTunes library on my apple tv

    I have a new apple tv that I am listening to my iTunes library. I have approx 800 photos in my iPhoto library. The screen saver chooses the same small number of photos and keeps on playing them over and over again. Can I expand the number of photos that are displayed? Can I create an album of photos to display?

    The screen saver uses the photo stream so if you can create a new stream and place the images you want the screen saver to show and then select that stream it shoudl do want you want.
