Is it possible to set screen saver to iphoto library on another computer?

I have all my photos on an iMac; I have a mac mini connected to my flat screen tv which we use to watch movies (netflix, amazon video, itunes, etc). I would like to set my mac mini screen saver to the iPhoto library located on my iMac. Is this possible?

Do I need to have iPhoto installed on both computers? On the mac mini, when I select the screen saver source choicelist I only get the pre-installed options and a "choose folder". I can navigate my iMac from this option however, the iPhoto library icon is greyed out...
What am I doing wrong? I do have iPhoto shared on my iMac from the iPhoto sharing preferences.

Is it possible to set screen saver preferences?

Friends,
My screensaver has what I hope is a fixable quirk. I have directed it to use pictures from my Aperture library for the screensaver, and it displays a slidewhow with the Ken Burns affect. For some of the images the screen saver zooms into the middle of the image, and shows very little of the image. For others, it shows the image normally. Is there anything that can be done to alter or correct how the screensaver displays the images?
Thanks!
Steve

When you set up the screen saver in the System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver, click the "Options" button. Here you can set five parameters and decide to keep the slides centered or to allow "back and forth" movement.

HA! I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars". So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account. Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone. Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone. Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE. I made my own day!
I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

Is it possible to set up multiple iTunes accounts on a single computer?

is it possible to set up multiple iTunes accounts on a single computer?

If you do it with a single user account, you will receive update notifications for purchase made on both IDs regardless of which one you're using at the time. That's slightly frustrating as you get the notification BUT you can't actually update! In any event, separate user accounts on the computer is the cleaner way to go.

HT204655 how do i choose a photos folder for my screen saver. iPhoto used to be listed as a dropdown choice. now only folder is listed.

You cannot take a folder out of the Trash to your Desktop without erasing the one on the Desktop. You need to first change the name of the folder on the Desktop. Or you can open the folder that's in the Trash and drag the files onto the Desktop assuming there aren't too many of them.
But if you have a duplicate on the Desktop why do you need to remove the one that's in the Trash?
If you feel you must take the folder out of the Trash, then you need to rename the duplicate that's on your Desktop.
If you wish to put the folder back where it was when you deleted it, then open the Trash window, select the folder, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select "Put Back" from the context menu.

Maybe - a Flickr set is a special kind of album - maybe iPhoto Library Manager can do that - check it out and ask the authors - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

How do I save an IPhoto library onto a new hard drive while it's open? It is a miracle I got it open, and it has refused to be copied the usual way (by dragging its icon to destination drive). i want to save those photos!

How do I save an IPhoto library onto a new hard drive while library is open? It is a miracle I got it open, and it has refused to be copied the usual way (by dragging its icon to destination drive). i want to save those photos!

My external Lacie Hard drive that contains the IPhoto library is a "locked volume." Wow, now it is suddenly letting me copy it. I dragged the library's icon to the new destination (a 3T hard drive) and it is working so far.
I have also had problems copying my IMovie events from this drive, whose data I'm trying to save. It reaches a certain video and stops. I will delete that video and try again.

Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbooks

Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbook pro & macbook air? How about the simultaneous use? Will I as well open it in my ipad and iphoto?

How Come? I thought that to an external drive move iphoto library is not a problem - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3012995?tstart=0. And Apple Time Capsule including the an external drive.

Can't set screen saver

I want to use my iPhoto pictures on my screen saver as I do on my iMac.
The screen saver on my MacBook Pro is sent to "Flurry." I can set it to one of the other other Apple patterns, but it won.t let me select anything in the"pictures" folder, and if I try to scroll through the selections in that folder, the applicastion freezes and I have to do a force quit.
Any suggestions?

Run ALL of the free OnyX maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.
Run OnyX > Verify > Preferences and write down any corrupt ones, move them to your trash and reboot (they get rebuilt)

Check the status of your browser plug-ins here and update. (especially Flash and Silverlight)

Attempting to set Screen Saver causes System Preferences to crash

EVERY time I go to the System Preferences and try to set the Screen Saver, System Preferences crashes
I moved the .../user/library/preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.saved and com.apple.systempreferences.plist files out of the directory to my desktop and the problem still happens.
What can I do? Is there a way to remove the screen savers one by one and see if one of them is the cause? Or is there perhaps some other problem?
I get crashes in iPhoto, iWeb, Mail, iCal, Address Book, and Safari, too, but much less often. Is it just bad hardware?

Ferd II -
From your articles I found a reference to Yasu for Mac OS 10.4. (I tried about 5 other things first to no avail...)
Running Yasu in it's default configuration fixed my problem, made my system boot faster after that first reboot, and seems to have given my entire MacBook a nice theraputic massage.
Some items that seemed slower at first after running Yasu are:
image caches in applications
well, lo and behold! caching of anything in applications. Which is what SHOULD happen since Yasu wipes out caches. With that understanding, I can say that running Yasu is going to be the first thing I do whenever I am trying randonm fix-its on weird problems.
Thank you, Dr. Smoke!
Thank YOU Ferd II!
And YASU, THANK YOU MOST OF ALL!

NSP SapServiceNSP user need to set screen saver passsword unlock

Hey all
I have installed the NSP trial instance all is working but our security checks on the systems required that the userid SpaServiceNSP has screen saver setup to require a password to unlock it. Even though it is not allowed local login.
checked registry and it has vaule set to 1 for all user screen savers secure but the company test show that ID does not have it setup.
Cannot login as this user as Local login is disabled.
Thanks For your time Bryan

Eric, Markus
I understand that this user should remain as non local login.
But I was asking if you can think of any other way to set the screensaver to prompt for password feature other than login and set it?
My security scans keep reporting that this is an error.
I figured that if registry is set that it would scan that one but must look at each user.
Markus
gpedit does not seem to list any way to enable this user to local login. Would you mind explaining how this is done?
Thanks Bryan

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.

Is it possible to set table-variant from one user to another one?

Is it possible to set table-variants from a t-code like fb60 from one user to another one?
I mean that both user have the same table-variants.

You mean screen variant, where you will need to anter the GL line items in FB50?
then you can set your desired variant as DEFAULT for all users, when it is configured.
Else thru SU10, for all of your users, add parameter ID SCRVAR and give your parameter value (screen variant name) and SAVE.

Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from iPhoto events?

Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from photos in iphoto? I can create a single event screen saver, but don't know if it is possible to create a screen saver with more than one event.

Drag the events you want into an album and have the screen saver run from the album.

Screen Saver (using iphoto folder) - 2 questions

New imac....thanks for the input. Two questions with the screen saver that uses random iphoto folder pics.
1. The resolution on some pics looks horrible (I thinked they must be zoomed in), but even on ones that are not, the pics look more grainy then when I see them in iphoto at roughly same size. Any suggestions?
2. Wife liked the ability to scroll through the screen saver pics in Windows XP but hitting right arrow button. THis would not disengage screen saver and should could see all the pics. Anyway to do this on Mac...she would LOVE to know!
Thanks!

HI Dan and Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on the new iMac!
For starters... here is information for slideshows/screen savers available to use with a .mac account:
Using a .Mac slideshow as a screen saver
You can use a .Mac member's public slideshow as your screen saver.
To set up a .Mac screen saver, you need the .Mac member name of the person publishing the pictures. You do not need to be a .Mac member to see a slideshow or use it as a screen saver.
Open a web browser and visit a website to make sure you're connected to the Internet.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Desktop & Screen Saver.
Click Screen Saver, then select .Mac in the Screen Savers list.
Click Options, and enter the .Mac member name in the .Mac Membership Name field.
The slideshow is downloaded to your computer. When it's finished, you can disconnect from the Internet.
To publish your own slideshow, you need a .Mac membership. To learn more, visit www.mac.com
And rule of thumb using your own photos as a screen saver: If the pictures look fuzzy, try using larger pictures (such as 1024 x 768 pixels).
