my screensaver keeps switching back to national geographic from iPhoto pictures

ASC member big.josh writes in this thread:
If I select the 'iPhoto' library icon that first comes up (in the hope of seeing all my Photos) it reverts to National Geographic when the screensaver runs.
But if I click the triangle to the left of the 'iPhoto' icon, and then select the 'Photos' icon from the drop-down list that appears, the screensaver does not revert to displaying National Geographic photos.
I haven't tested this solution, but it's more plausible than any of the others I've seen.

  • My Screensaver always goes back to National Geographic

    Hey.
    I've set a personal Screensaver because I like it when a Slideshow will be shown on my screen while I'm not on the iMac.
    For some reason my screensaver always goes back to the original National Geographics Pictures and I don't know why. I've been searching for this issue on the internet before and in some other forum they said that I have to delete the "screensaver" file from the Preferences Folder in the Libary. I don't have this file through.
    Here are my iMac stats :

    My Screensaver always goes back to „National geographics“ even when I’ve set it to some personal pictures.

    Ever since I downloaded OS X Yosemite when I set screen saver to use my iPhotos it always goes back to default national geographic images

  • Since I've updated my IMac to Yosemite, my screensaver preferences will not stay on IPhoto, it always reverts back to National  Geographic pictures.  Anyone have this problem?

    I have an IMac from early 2009.  I've updated the OS X to Yosemite to 10.10.1 and since I've updated it, my system screensaver preferences WILL allow me to set the screensaver to IPhoto, but after a few minutes, it always reverts back to National Geographic pictures.  I tried putting ALL 18,000 of my pictures into a separate folder and choosing THAT folder for the screensaver, but again - it reverted back to the National Geographic pictures. 
    Is there any way I can set my screensaver preferences to IPhoto pictures?  Am I missing something?  Thanks for any input or suggestions.

    I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop.  It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle.  I had it on charge all night but still dead.

  • My persona keeps switching back!

    I've had the same persona for a while now, so today I tried to change it and got a few new themes. It let me add them, but when I exited out and immediately opened FireFox again, it was back to the old one! No matter what I do, it just keeps switching back. I can go into tools and manually change it, but it doesn't stay after I reopen FireFox. It gets really annoying, please help!

    McAfee Site Advisor which you appear to have installed is the most likely culprit. See this post: http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639 (Patch at the foot of the thread).
    See also [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Some of your plugins are also out of date and expose your system to attack. I recommend you visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • Switching back to delete file from PC?

    I recently selected a few files that I wanted to remove from iTunes, but didn't want to delete from my hard drive.
    Now I want to switch back and delete files from my hard drive, but when I select a track and click 'delete' it doesn't give me the choice of deleting from iTunes or from hard drive.
    How do I get the option to delete from my hard drive back?

  • What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

  • Yosemite screensaver problem. Constsantly reverts back to National Geographic.

    Has anyone found a fix to the screensaver problem? Nothing I try seems to work, including editing the Library files.
    Thanks.

    Here's an idea for a work around. Go to theNational Geographic photos folder and substiture your own photos. Under the finder menu, select go and then "go to folder" and paste in /Library/Screen Savers/Default Collections/1-National Geographic That will show the content. Save those pictures if you like to a folder somewhere and add your own photos to the national geographic folder..

  • Outlook 2013 - Read emails keep switching back to Unread

    I have this weird problem with 2013 Outlook client and Exchange 2010 where on random some of read emails will switch back to unread state. Its very annoying specially when you have executives sending you emails and you can't tell if this is a new one or
    one that you read and took action on.
    Company's desktop support folks say that there is nothing wrong with my exchange account. I told them it has to be my account/maillbox or some setting on exchange as this is happening on two different machines. One is a windows 7 pro laptop, the other one
    is windows 7 pro desktop. both 64bit version of windows but 32bit version of outlook/msoffice 2013.
    I only installed outlook on the desktop to see if my outlook on laptop was the culprit. but since both clients are behaving the same way.. it has to be something on the exchange side.
    Appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks.
     

    Hi Apple,
    The issue could occur if the sync between the Outlook client and OWA is not completed or the Outlook data file in the Outlook client is corrupted, every time when syncing to OWA, it will change the status back to “Unread”. To narrow down the issue, please
    try the steps below:
    Disconnect all the clients connected to the account except OWA.
    Make the message as read in OWA, then check if the status will be changed back.
    If not, open Outlook, then check if  the status will be synced to Outlook.
    If the status changes to unread again in OWA, it could be related to Outlook.
    In addition, you can also try to re-create outlook profile and check if any helps.
    Best regards,

  • Default folder keeps switching back to Documents when doing a Save As

    In the process of saving image files from a friends website using Internet Explorer, I have suddenly found that everytime I go to save a image it keeps defaulting back to my documents folder.
    I can then navigate through to find my destination folder (on an external hard drive & buried several folders into that) and save the file.
    However, as soon as I go to save the next image, the Save As window has reverted back to my Documents folder, then I have to click through all the numerous links to get back to where I had just saved the last image.
    This has only started to happen within the past week (probably since the last Apple Security Update). Normally the Save As option would allow me to go back to the folder that I had used last.
    Is there anything I can do to return this function to it's original state?
    Regards

    Does the folder you had been using come up under
    Recent Places (dropdown under filename)?
    No the folder does not show up under the Recent Places dropdown.

  • "Computer name" screensaver keeps coming back!

    Hi! I use a third party called electricsheep as my screensaver, and after a few hours, my screensaver automatically switches to the computer name screensaver with the apple logo. I tried many ways to avoid this, but couldn't. Anyone has ideas? Thanks!

    You'd need to download it from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html
    Will take a bit, but not really all that long if you have good bandwidth. Get some coffee.
    Occasionally, doing this can straighten ones systems out, it did for me. More than a few people had problems by using Software Update to update to 10.5.4. This is usually considered the better way to go. Good luck, hope it works.

  • How to keep a back up of messages from the JMS queues?

    Hi,
    I need to keep a back up of messages which are coming in the JMS queue before they get consumed. This is for recovery purpose.
    I checked file store option but it doesnt have any time stamp on messages so dont know how to trace back messges if needed from file store.
    Please let me know if you guys have any idea to handle this.
    Thanks in advance
    Bips

    No. Not with Time Machine at least.
    If you tell Time Machine to backup the external then you will have it.
    Or you can manually copy it to another disk for storage outside of Time Capsule/TimeMachine.

  • Switching back to iTunes UK from abroad

    I live in Ireland having moved over from the UK. I had a UK iTunes account which I cancelled and opened up a new account in order to purchase from an Irish bank account. I still have a UK bank account and wondered if it were possible to switch back to a UK iTunes account, (or have more than one iTunes account?) - I suspect none of this is possible but I thought I'd ask anyway!
    On a different matter - can iTunes vouchers be mailed to me from iTunes UK in Euros to be redeemed in iTunes Ireland?
    Thanks

    Looks like it's possible with both a UK address and bank account
