  • Mountain Lion screensaver won't start

    All of a sudden, screen saver won't start (set to start in 10 minutes).  The hotspot will kick it off, but not just waiting 10 minutes.  I did recently create a "root" user so that I could change the default login screen saver.

  • How do I use my own photos for screensaver in Mountain Lion

    How do I use my own photos for screensaver in Mountain Lion.  I cannot see how to use my photos.  It seems that the screensaver is set with factory settings.  There appears to be no alternative.

    There are several references to this problem ... and some ideas.   Always a good place to look.   Don't overlook the links within the posts.

  • Screensaver not working in Mountain Lion 10.8.2??

    Hello,
    Since the update of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac the screensaver is not working anymore. I set it to 10min and after 10min nothing happen. Whats that?? Sometimes (like 1 time a day or 2) it will work but most of the time, nothing.
    Anyone have an Idea of how to fix this??
    Thanks!

    Upgraded iMac to Mountain Lion a couple of weeks ago.  Screen saver was working well until Sunday or Monday. Did not know! It was working before.  The screen now has burn marcs! Ruined!  Screen saver still not working except forced with hot corner.  Furious!  Tried permissions, restart with OC p r.  Is there any way to fix this?  And the screen?  Took great care of this iMac and now because what seems like a bug from Apple, it's ruined.

    I have never had a screen saver that was a moving object.  They have always been a still photo.  My desktop is set to the picture I want and yes it is still.  I do not like moving object as a screensaver and I have never had one that has been a video type
    Yes you have!  All of Apple's pre-installed screensavers are "movers."  Check for yourself.
    The screensaver that is showing is a custom aquarium.

    Now that we know you actually mean desktop pictures (wallpaper), troubleshooting suggestions will be a tad different.

  • Screensaver broken under Mountain Lion

    Well, just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and the default screensaver doesn't work like it use to. Previously, I pointed it to use the
    directory that contained all of my photos, in which there are a bunch of sub-directories (photos/2010, photos/2011, photos/2012),
    and all the photos in the sub-directories were seen by the screensaver and used. Now, pointing the screensaver to the "photos"
    directory gives me a "no photos found" message. I have to point the screensaver to one of the sub-directories (i.e., 2012) for it
    to find/use photos. Limits me to only the photos in the sub-directories, not all the photos in my collection. Why would they change
    this behavior?

    If you don't want to upgrade to Mountain Lion Server, you're only other option is to completely erase your OS volume and reinstall Lion; then Lion Server. Or if you don't want to run Server any longer, you can just install Mountain Lion.

  • Mountain Lion OSX & How To Transfer iPhotos to Screensaver

    I found this site
    http://gigaom.com/apple/10-hidden-things-you-can-do-on-your-mac/
    and in it it tells you (prettywell) how to use iphotos as screensavers.
    What I did was to >system preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen Saver>Slideshows on the left and selected one.
    Now the "Source box appeared under the picture on the right and I could go and get a photo.
    Hopes this helps as I noted many people are ticked off at not being able to use their photos as Screen Savers
    with Mountain Lion.

    Thanks for letting everyone know about this!  This is actually something I'd like to do so I can use a photo stream as a screensaver.

  • Screensaver wont use iphoto library since mountain lion

    Since upgrading to mountain lion, my screensaver wont work with iphoto library... 27" 2.8GHZ iMac, 16 GB Ram.
    iPhoto library has around 24000 pics in it.
    Thanks.

    I did a clean install of Mountain Lion on my MBP. I couldn't find my Lion disk and ended up deciding to buy iPhoto from the App Store. I imported my iPhoto library from a back up and iPhoto updated everything, everything works fine - except that when I was looking around Mountain Lion and went to look at the screensavers, none of the fancy photo slideshows will let me use my own photos. The only options I get are the four default collections and a 'Choose Folder...' option. Since the photos are all packaged up in the iPhoto library, I can't select them (it's greyed out). I was expecting my albums, events, faces etc to be listed automatically. Tried the command above but it didn't work.

  • Screensaver won't automatically bring up picture from my iphoto since I switched to Mountain Lion.  Any suggestions on how to get it to work.  My photos are located on an external hard drive that I keep connected to my laptop.

    My screensaver won't automatically bring up pictures from my iphoto albums as it always did in the past since I installed Mountain Lion.  I do use an external hard drive to save all my pictures and music on that is always connected to my MacBookPro.  Any suggestions what I may be doing wrong.  I find it frustrating to have to set it daily as I close my computer down every night.

    Back up all data.
    Quit System Preferences if it's open.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Inside it there should be one or more files with a long name beginning with "com.apple.screensaver." Move those files to the Trash. Set your screensaver preferences and see whether they stick.

  • Where is Mosaic screensaver in mountain lion

    Hoe can I get the mosaic screen saver in New mountain lion? It was the only one I liked and the new ones now are just plain crap. Is there anyway to get it back or can I purchase it? And if so where?

    I have not figured it out either. I share your pain. I used mosaics as my only screensaver in Lion and before, and more than any other feature it cause envy by any Windows users who saw it in action.  PLEASE, PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

  • Screensaver installed on Mountain Lion still works with Yosemite but Attempting to install on later MBP it won't work with Mavericks or Yosemite

    I installed Porsche's 911 Screensaver on my 2011 MBP when it had Mountain Lion.  It still works after upgrades up to Yosemite.  I attempted to install the same on my late 2013 MBP Retina (Mavericks and Yosemite) and though it installs, I get the message that the screensaver isn't compatible with this version of OS X.  How can a piece of software work on one MBP and not another?  The 2011 is 15", quad-core i7 and the 2013 is about as powerful but 13" and all SSD.  This is confusing
    Thanks for the help

    so return it for another one if its within the 14 day return policy.  If not, bring it in for repair.

  • Mountain Lion : Cannot disable Screensaver

    I am not able to disable screensaver on my MBP running Mountain Lion. Even if i set start after to "never" or any particular time interval, it always defaults to "10 mins" once i log-off and log back in. Appreciate any help.
    /Gino.

    You could try deleting the com.apple.screensaver.plist file from your preferences folder, although I'm not seeing anything in that file on my system for the start interval, so that's probably not the right solution.

  • Dashboard as a screensaver possible in Mountain Lion?

    There used to be a utility called DashSaver for previous Mac OS's and I was wondering if it is still possible in some way to have the dashboard/widgets as a screensaver?

    I found dashboard version 1.3 on this link - http://highearthorbit.com/software/dashsaver/ - works on mountain lion, but if you cannot put a password to login onto your desktop cause otherwise you'll get a black screen on the screensaver (so there's no point using dashboard)

  • Rss visualizer screensaver for mountain lion, rss visualizer for mountain lion

    I got Mountain Lion but now I miss my rss visualizer screensaver how can I get this back?

    Yeah!
    That s-saver is too nice and was my favorite since OSX Tiger several years.
    Why? Why it was too necessary to remove it??? Who does it  bother to???
    I was using it much more frequently then most of all new 200+ features of new OSX.
    I don't understand whole this. Apple, you're wrong about it, you are wrong.
