my screensaver stopped working .. Cant seem to get it to start again..help??????

Hello,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Does it work when you try the Test button in ScreenSaver prefpane?

  • HT4623 Have a new iphone 5 and trying to transfer info from old iphone. Seems like the new phone is stuck on the choose backup page and I cant seem to get it to move. Help!?

    Have a new Iphone and trying to set up. Got to the page choose back up and both old phone and ipad are showing but cant select either and its just sitting there. what should i be doing?

    You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer.  This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc.  (e.g., movies).
    But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

  • New Tab function stopped working how do I get it to function again

    I have a tab open and when I click the plus sign next to the open tab a new tab does not open.

    From your System Details, it looks like user.js is currently active in Firefox. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
    or
    *Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

  • System stops working pointer turns into a circle and starts again

    My system slows down as the mouse cursor turns into a circle from time to time and then starts working again. Things become pretty slow. Shut down and start takes a long long time.

    That can indicate a too-full hard drive. Highlight your hard drive's icon and then do "Get Info..." from the Finder's "File" menu. That will look something like this:

  • Cant seem to get memoryimagesource to work right

    Ok ive been messing with memory image source for a while here.
    at least 6 hour's and i cant seem to get it to work in fullscreen.
    i have tryed it a few different ways and im getting errors no matter what i do.
    i figured id search the web for a example of memoryimagesorce in fullscreen but i can't find any!!!
    anyways im haveing problems with drawimage().
    i have the blue bar poping back up in this one even though i set undecorated to true.
    when i try to use bufferstrategy it was even worse it locked up my comp 2 time's
    here my horribly buggy code so far.
    anyone have a example of the right way to use memory image source in fullscreen.

    Now my code is painting exactly one time, the loop is going but nothing's happening. It should be displaying the different color lines moveing and changeing color.
    Also ive come to a problem ive had before in the tutorial,
    about not useing paint and update.
    however thier should logically be a method like drawimage to use
    or i should be able to use it. but its not doing anything.
    the application window is drawn directly to the screen (active rendering).
    This simplifies painting quite a bit, since you don't ever need to worry about paint events.
    In fact, paint events delivered by the operating system may even be delivered
    at inappropriate or unpredictable times when in full-screen exclusive mode.
    Instead of relying on the paint method in full-screen exclusive mode, drawing code is usually
    more appropriately done in a rendering loop:
    public void myRenderingLoop() {
        while (!done) {
             Graphics myGraphics = getPaintGraphics();
             // Draw as appropriate using myGraphics
             myGraphics.dispose();
    Such a rendering loop can done from any thread,
    either its own helper thread or as part of the main application thread.

    hi everyone for  about 2 weeks now i cant seem to get any search results with the mobile myspace app on ipod touch 4g i have tried clearing cookies and cache ,resetting ipod uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to work any ideas?

    - Have you tried going to the developer's support website/contacting the developer?
    - Try a reset. It surs many ills and nothng is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

    Hi,
    I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
    So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
    Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
    Thanks

    Hi Bblairjones,
    If you are having issues with your Nano and Shuffle, you may want to try the Troubleshooting Assistants on the following page:

  • HT201269 I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I found this response to the problem in the MacRumors forum:
    "Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
    "Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network."
    I unchecked the iTunes Match on the iPhone and the music synced fine.

    On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

    I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing. 
    What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
    If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
    I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.
