My macbook pro keeps terminating the screen saver app!! Help plz!

basically what happened the first time it crashed is this. i went into the screensaver settings and switched to the itunes art work screen saver. then i opened up the setting button. i switch the number of rows to 2. as soon as i moved the slider down to 2 rows, it closed out of it and i got that "application quit unexpectedly" window.
However now, when ever i open up the screen saver and desktop icon in system preferences, it opens up to the desktop tab, and then i go to the screen saver tab and it is still working, but then i click on itunes art work screen saver and it quits again. so i hit the reopen button on the error window and it takes me back to system preferences. i then click on desktop and screen saver icon and it once again crashes. do it again and it crashes again. then the third time it opens up ok, but whenever i go to itunes artwork, it crashes again and i have to go through the 2 crash cycle again.
Please help me if you can. the only thing i did tonight was update my MBP firmware to 1.0.1 and downloaded an aqua teen screen saver which i didn't even install cause it didn''t look like something that i could run. I just deleted.
please help if you know anything about this kind of problem.

Ok i managed to figure out a way to keep it from crashing all of the time. i go into User/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete com.apple.screensaver.itunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist. this help me so that i am able to open up the screensaver window and even select itunes artwork from the list of screen savers. this works fine because it seems to restore the default setting for this screen saver. But if i open the options screen and try to set it to 2 rows, then it will go right back to crashing again.
Can somebody please help me out with this 2 row problem? i'd greatly appreciate it.

    Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

  • Hello All, I have a Model - MacBook Pro Laptop and the screen recently turned grey giving me zero visibility or access to the computer. Has anyone else seen or had this problem? Is it fixable or should I get a new unit?

    Hello all,
    I have a Model - MacBook Pro Laptop and the screen recently turned the colour grey, giving me no visibility or access to the unit.
    Has anyone had or seen this problem before? Can it be fixed? I had a repair guy from my local Mac Store take a look at it - he said I needed a whole new screen and top of the computer, but this didn't fix the problem. I took the unit home unrepaired, and a week later it was all of a sudden working fine.
    What is happening with my Laptop? Once this happens (grey screen) does it mean that it's going to become a chronic problem?
    Please advise....Thanks

    It's kind of difficult to diagnosis your problem without a visual clue, because there is a (mostly) software based "gray screen" at boot issue.
    But if you got the screen replaced, took it home and now it works, why the repair shop didn't get it working before it left the store is beyond me.
    Unless the repair shop is a authorized apple reseller/repair, I wouldn't have taken it to them, and of you did, they should have fixed the issue right away.

    My MacBook Pro keeps saying The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  I just took it in to the apple store a few weeks ago,  and since then I can't go into my desktop, I cant download anything to my computer. 

    Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, click on the Desktop item, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read and write access in the Sharing & Permissions section.

  • My Macbook starts up, shows the screen saver, then immediately goes to sleep. I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep".  This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep.

    My Macbook starts up, shows the screen saver, then immediately goes to sleep. I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep".  This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep. I can only see the screen for maybe 3-5 seconds; not enough time to do anything. Someone did step on it, so I don't know if the problem is with screen or ??
    Thanks!

    Hello, Juniorjr2. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled.  Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy.  To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature.  You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps.  If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.

  • My MacBook Pro Beeps and the Screen Goes Crazy

    I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB a couple months ago. Ever since then, my MacBook would freeze and the screen would get all weird and distorted, and then it continues to sound off three longish beeps. I can't do anything except hold down the power button until it shuts off. This only happens every couple of days. I'm thinking it's a RAM issue and I've already tried reseating the RAM, but it keeps happening. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe the RAM is faulty?

    Wow. Every 5th thread is someone who has a problem with their screen going black since 10.6.8

  • Can watching videos too often on Macbook Pro "wear down" the screen?

    I watch most of my TV shows on my new macbook pro, and my mother just informed me that if you watch videos too often on a mac, that the screen can apparently wear down and die. Is this true? I'm not sure exactly what she meant by that or what could happen to my computer, but it doesn's sound exactly correct. Thanks!

    Back in "the old days" when we all had green letters on black screens like in "War Games" (Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy) there were problems with "burn in" which was caused by the fact that only certain parts of the screen got used because the displays were text only. This is kind of like a prehistoric version of the problem with early plasma displays. Efforts to save CRT screens led to the creation of the ever-popular "Screen saver."
    Most moms don't track display technology, so the notion remains that all video monitors are just shinier versions of last century's 15"/50 lb. wonders. Not so. Today's monitors will wear out, but most will be killed by their users long before that. Modern monitors CAN go off in color, loose brilliance, etc. over time  but not specifically from movies.  Notice I said movies, not video. The way we use computers these days, pretty much everything is video.
    Keep calm and surf on.

  • Backing up Macbook Pro..When the screen is shot.

    Ok I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro that I currently have Apple Care on it until July 2010. Now my problem is my entire screen is dead. The Apple logo on the back isn't lighting up, the screen is black, not even the DVI port works. Only the keyboard and sound works as though it is still on. I went to a Genius Bar and they told me they would have to send it in to get a new logic board and most likely my HDD would have to be replaced and I would lose most of my data cause the last time I backed up was about 6 months ago and that was on DVD's. The genius said I could back it up with an external HDD and he would show me how there, but I want to do it before I go in again on Wednesday, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it another way like using a key stroke or something like that, cause as I said before I can't see anything. Any help would be appriceated. Thankyou.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you have access to another Mac? If so, you could access your drive using Firewire Target Disk Mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    You would also need an external drive, preferably a Firewire one, as large as or larger than your internal drive. Once you have your internal drive and the external drive mounted on the host computer, you could clone your internal drive onto the external, making an exact copy of it using a cloning utility such as Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    I would recommend making a bootable clone of your hard drive over using DVD's for backup. Over time, DVD's can turn into little gold frisbees unless you get the archival grade. A bootable clone is useful because if your internal drive dies, you can boot from the external and keep on computing. Also, if you get a new hard drive, you can clone back from the external and be back where you were when you sent it off.
    Good luck!

  • MacBook Pro closest to the screen USB port doesn't work

    Hey there!
    I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 6,2 (15" 2,66 GHz i7 4GB RAM) which is in perfect conditions. I use it everyday to study and play the X-Plane simulator, basically, so it has never fallen nor taken any damage. Last week, all of the sudden, the USB port located closest to the screen stopped working. I've spent several hours trying to figure out what the problem is (tried the SMC and NVRAM reset more than once) but all I got was this log from USB Prober:
    Feb 12 21:46:26.196  [2]
    BRCM2070 Hub[0xffffff800bcc0c00]::DeviceRequest _DeviceRequestWithTimeout runAction() failed (0xe00002ed)
    Feb 12 21:46:26.197  [3]
    IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2[0xffffff80151f7200]::DeviceRequestIn (sync < 4k) err:0xe00002ed (device is not responding)
    Feb 12 21:46:26.197  [3]
    IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2[0xffffff80151f7200]::DeviceRequestIn < 4K to 0xffffff800bcc0c00 - returning err e00002ed, size: 0
    I imagine that the problem is in the BRCM2070 Hub, as it's status in the "Port Status" section is "STATUS(change): CONNECT ENABLE SUSPEND POWER Full Speed" and "Port Power State: Suspended (Driver)", while my other USB port which is working okay is "STATUS(change): POWER Full Speed" and "Port Power State: No connection". If I connect anything to the problematic USB Port the status won't change, while, if connected to the okay one, it will show what's connected instead of saying "No Connection" (e.g. iPhone). The only thing that gives a sign of life when connected to the problematic one is my Samsung External 500GB HD, but it simply lights up, doesn't mount nor is recognised. After a minute it turns off while still connected. I don't know how to proceed as I don't have any Apple Stores near me.
    Is there anyway to work this problem out or I should just wait until the end of this year to go to the US and take my machine to a Genius? This problem is really annoying me, as I frequently use one of the ports to charge my iPhone and the other one to connect my mouse. I'm thinking about buying an USB hub to bypass the problem, but it would kill my MBP's portability.

    I solved my issue and I believe it was router related. I have a router through Verizon and their Fios service. My router was old so I caled for a replacement. when I received thereplacement I switched it the router to only accept 802.11n and this did the trick. Problem solved, stupid router.

  • Can anyone help read my crash report? My 2010 macbook pro keeps going black screen with looped sound

    I've had this laptop since 2010 and it's been pretty good up until about two months ago when it would just randomly crash. The screen would go black and if there was sound going on, the sound would just loop on that single second like a broken record. The only way to get it out of that is to hold the power button and then turn it back on. When these crashes would happen in the beginning it would only be when I had Adobe Photoshop running, now it just happens whenever I'm simply using the internet browsing through Tumblr, Youtube, and Facebook.
    Every time I turn my computer back on I get a crash report like this:

    First, uninstall the third-party software that installed these extensions:
    com.vara.driver.VaraAudio          1.0.3
    com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower          1.6.2
    com.pctools.iantivirus.kfs          1.0.1
    Remove the Dell mouse and use the original mouse.
    See if the above help. If they don't:
    The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)- Intermittent black screen or loss of video

  • My Macbook Pro keeps getting the spinning wheel...

    Hello there.
    This seems to be something thats asked about quite often. I wanted to see if there was something I could do to fix this problem without having to go to Apple. and if not, it is what it is. ....I have a Macbook Pro, bought it in 2011...has really never ever given me any issues, I havent really been using it all that much like I used to but I'll be using it alot more now that Ill be returning to college...I will say, its usually worse with safari. With Google Chrome it isn't quite as bad.
    It's just been real slow lately, usually freezes up, then the spinning wheel pops up, usually doesnt go away, sometimes does...usually doesnt though...If the spinning wheel doesn't show up, another thing that may happen is if I hover over an app, say itunes or google chrome, the icon of the app will enlarge like it normally does, but when I scroll away and as the cursor goes away from the icon, the icon stay enlarged, and doesnt allow me to double click it or really anything...that doesnt happen quite as often as the spinning wheel though
    so yeah, id like to know if this is fixable...I've considered calling Apple they're very helpful but i Figured i'd give this a try...
    I'm not really sure what specific info you may need to be able to help me, like i said its a 2011 Macbook Pro, apparently Memory  4 GB (from about this mac) ,
    any recommended apps to download ? or anything ?
    thanks so much, any help or suggestions at all will  be highly appreciated
    Sorry for rambling.

    Avoid third party so called Mac cleaning utilities. They can more harm than good. Your Mac runs maintenace in the background for you. There are other reasons why you see the spinning beach ball.
    Not enough free storage space slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    If it's not a disk space issue, a Safe Mode boot deletes system caches that may help.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference.
