Installing a New Screen Saver
I'm pretty new to the world of Mac and still figuring things out since I'm so used to PC. I went to http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/3ddesktopaquariumscreen saver.html and downloaded the screen saver at the bottom. It downloaded to the desktop. I assumed double clicking it would install it, but when I go into the screen saver preferences it isn't there for me to choose. What do I have to do?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBook Pro
If double-clicking doesn't work, try this:
Quit System Preferences
Go to Hard drive/Library/Screen Savers
Put the screen saver in that folder. Open System Preferences and click on the Desktop and Screen Saver button. The screen saver should now be listed.

Camera app doesn't work after installing a new screen
I have been fixing broken iPhone screens for quite some time now but have never come across something like this. After installing a new screen the camera app won't show the camera and the shutter never opens. I thought I didn't put one of the cables in right so I double checked and sure enough they were in good. I restored the phone and tried it again with no luck. I then switched out to another screen I found and the camera worked perfectly. This is so bizzarre to me but can anyone explain to me what is wrong? Or what has happened? I have never seen anything like this.
I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)!

8530 White Screen AFTER Installing a new Screen
Hi, my dog got hold of my 8530 and put a toothmark in the screen cover. The screen was also damaged meaning I could see white and grey stripes. I bought a new screen and replaced the old one. Now when I turn it on, I get the white screen and i cannot dial out or recieve calls. Basically the phone is dead. I was able to connect to my desktop and install the latest OS version. I put the old screen back in and I still cannot recieve or dial. I must have done something while taking it apart or putting back together? It is a very simple procedure so I would think it difficult to screw it up. Before I took it apart, i could get phone calls and dial out but i couldnt see the outgoing or incoming call screen. I took the battery out before I took it apart. Now when I connect to my desktop, the connection comes and goes as if you were plugging and plugping in the device. Any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
MHello monkster926,
Sorry about your condition, well I don't think it a good decision that you made by Replacing the Screen Cover
by yourself unless and until you are qualified for it , cause you can't see the internal damage it suffered from
the dog bit cause the force at which they bit are much more for example G.Shepherd produces over 238 pounds
of force or a pitbull which produces over 235 pounds of force.
So now I think it is not just a software issue but a hardware issue and it will be better if you go and checked
it by an authorized BB Service Center.
Good Luck

Apple Fans,
Here is the setup and followup question.
I have my powerbook screen saver set up to display the "Hot News"/RSS Visualizer. Therefore, when it is time to switch over to the screen saver the news pops up on, I quess what you would call, a rotating type of display and if i want to access the information shown at that time I touch the coresponding number (ex. Apple launches Quicktime 8... press "2" for more info), blah, blah, blah, you know.
Anyway... the background when this happens is blue. How can I change the color background?
I have gone to the screen saver section and I don't see a place in there that this can be done.
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints!
Allen

no, i didn't know that. thanks for the info. i think the rss feed/screensaver was a great idea that apple came up with. i'm sure its got a few fans out there.
i must admit though that i am a bit suprised that i can't change the color. oh well.
thanks for the help anyway.

how to add new screen savers for my desktop?
Iam working on SunOs 5.5.1Sizo,
Steve is correct. Examine the main screenset. Choose the platform, then copy an existing screen or add a new one. Modify it as needed. It will now display as a new tab on the client.

Is "connect to itunes" my new screen saver or something?
My IPhone 5c was on the charger when I looked at my setting to check out my new update notification. I guess the update has me feeling like an old lady who doesn't understand too much about phones because the only thing I see is one of the three things my screen is displaying; 1. "connect to iTunes" 2. The "apple" and the best one would have to be 3. that black mirror thing that you always lock your phone to check yourself out with. So after trying to restart my phone by pressing both the lock and home button, it turned off, showed me that apple, and then the "connect to iTunes". Take two was pressing just the lock button; nothing. Third lucks charm was pretty disappointing after I finally dug out the old Acer and plugged my stubborn phone into iTunes to see that I had to restore my phone to factory settings because I have unsaved pictures of my cousin who recently died from leukemia. I finally figured that it was my best shot so I pressed the restore iPhone box and after 5 long hours and 5 arduous tries to just get my phone to turn on out of desperation, it still just wants to be plugged into iTunes. Even when it's plugged in! I'm only 15, and I truly feel as if I'm trying to get a baby to stop crying. Yes, it does help trying to make silly faces at it but that's only because I'm seeing myself and I do really need my phone. No, not only because I go on twitter to see the latest complaints but I have a job at a horse farm, and I can be needed at any moment. Soccer also starts tonight, and I everybody probably thinks I'm ignoring them or something. Please help me get this phone to work again!
Plave the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

I tried resetting my networks and turning my phone on and off with the wifi turned on, but neither of it worked. I don't know what to do and I really need wifi on my phone for tomorrow.
Did Apple install the new screen? Or an Authorized Apple Service Provider? If so, you should return to the location that replaced your screen to see if they didn't hook something up properly.
If it wasn't an Authorized Apple Service Provider, or an Apple Retail store, You should take it back to them and discuss it with them. In this case, Apple will likely not offer any replacement service as it was opened by an unauthorized third party. -
Reading videos with iphoto and select iphoto in the screen saver

Can't open Desktop & Screen Saver preference panel
I tried to d/l a new screen saver. I double clicked it and now it only say "Loading Deskotp & Screen Saver"
I've since deleted the moduel, but the system continues to say "Loading Deskotp & Screen Saver" when trying to open that preference.
The other gotcha is that the machine is binded to Active Directory and I'm logged on using my AD account. Which is administrative account on the iMac as well.
What can I delete to fix this problem? Since it's not a local user, I can't delete the /Users/<name> folder to reset everthing.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Photos do not work in screen saver in preferences
With upgrade to 10.10.3 and integration from iPhoto to Photos, my screen saver in preferences cannot access my photos. Any ideas?
Mine started working after a while. I'm not sure how long it took but probably a couple hours. I was getting organized to set up a folder with the pictures I wanted in the screen saver when I clicked on the menu in the system preferences and was very surprised to options to pick photos from Photos.
Later, I was disappointed to see the list of albums was out of date; the new screen saver album wasn't there. I decided to try quitting system preferences and starting it up again and that worked. When I checked the list of albums available in the screen saver menu, it had updated and I was able to select the folder I wanted. -
Latest upgrade messes up screen saver.
I upgraded the firmware on my (old) 720p Apple TV. It invented a new screen saver using Album covers. Gret but it chnaged my saved deafult screen saver. I have tried three times to set it back to my selected photos but it keeps coming back with a mixture of phgoitos and album covers.
Please help me to get so I can choose Photos ONLY as a screen saver,
Disappointed.Select the screen saver option you want and the photo album option you want. There is nothing new that causes it to change after you select it. Did you select the random screen saver option? It will cause it to change. It will also not use your iPhoto pictures if your computer is not avialble to connect to.

I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library. I believe it is first generation or second Apple TV - not the newest one.
If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this, my favorite feature? I have just under 4000 photos in that file.
And, what is the total # of photos it can utilize? If I keep adding photos - is there a limit to the # it will utilize?Thank you Alan and know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first. Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

This is from Apple;
Certain DVD-Video discs do not fill the entire display even if Apple DVD Player is set to Fill Screen Wide mode. This is due to the way that the disc was originally created. It is not a problem with your PowerBook display."
so try some different dvds....it's possible you just got one that was authored in a way that apples dvd player can not expand it properly
