Power Saver / Screen saver on N91

When i try to edit a theme, it gives me the option of selection :
Date and Time
Text
Screensaver
However, when i select screensaver nothing happens. It just returns to the power saver options - does not let me select one or anything?
anyone know what im doing wrong?
i want to use an animated gif as a screensaver, is that possible?

Hi
First of all you have to install Common Modules before you install any other Toshiba tools or drivers. The Common Modules are required to make other Toshiba programs work properly.
Furthermore it would be interesting to know which error message you get exactly from Toshiba Power Saver. Can you add this information please?
In your case I would uninstall Toshiba Power Saver. Then install Common Modules first and then the other Toshiba tools.
After installing Windows XP on my notebook I have used the following installation order for Toshiba tools but note, all drivers like display, sound, etc. should be installed first:
Windows XP SP3
All drivers
TOSHIBA Common Modules
TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
TOSHIBA Touchpad ON/OFF
TOSHIBA Utilities
TOSHIBA Power Saver
TOSHIBA Assist
The Toshiba recovery disk cant be downloaded. As far as I know this notebook is normally delivered with Windows Vista and therefore you have to create a recovery disk yourself as you can read in user manual.
But now its too late and you have to order new disk from Toshiba directly.

  • My printer officejet pro 8500A plus won't go into power or screen saver mode with XP Prof/

    why doesn't my printer officejet pro 8500A plus go into power save or screen saver mode with windows XP Professional?
    I have updated the firmware, i've put the printer through a power cycle, I did a semifull reset. I checked the boxes to on for power save and screensaver. Yet my printer runs through the product tour all day long

    the only place I can find to enable power and screen savings is on the printer LCD itself. Is there somewhere else to look for this option? I look at printer HP on windows go to properties and there is no way to enable power saver mode.

  • Power save & Screen saver

    Problem: When copying lots of files to my network drive, the power save keeps engaging. This keeps crashing the copy process, thus forcing me to delete what got copied and start all over again.
    My temporary solution: I'm tired of babysitting the computer by bumping the mouse every few minutes.
    How do i make the power save and screen saver aware that i'm coping many gigs of files to my network drive so that it doesn't come on and crash the copying process?
    Telling me to disable the power save and screen saver manually isn't a solution. So please don't tell me to do that.

    It sounds like you (& maybe some other users) might be confusing the Screen Saver, display sleep, & system sleep functions. My screen saver & then display sleep sometimes kicks in when I'm not using the keyboard or mouse (& both are set below 20 minutes), but any ongoing operations like file copies via the Finder do in fact prevent system sleep from kicking in.
    AFAIK, when system sleep does kick in during something like that, it is because the app doing the copy (or whatever) has not registered the process with the OS as one that should not be interrupted and/or it has no provision for an orderly hiatus, like closing any open files with pending changes, before it suspends operation.
    Because of that, it might be relevant if you explained how you are copying files to the network drive.

  • Screen saver pops up randomly!?!?

    I've had an issue with screen savers in Lion.  When my MBP plugged into power the screen saver is set to turn on 22 minutes after no activity.  I've noticed today several times the screen saver has popped up in significantly less time than 22 minutes.  Once in tried to pop up in the middle of scrolling through a website. 

    Getting crazy with that screensaver suddenly. My 1Password is locking itself as well randomly, sometimes after 20sec. When I disable the option to automaticly lock after inactivity it doesn't anymore. Giving the information that Lion doesn't correctly keep track of inactivity..?
    Disabled it for now, can't find any solutions yet..

  • Screen saver + Energy Saver (Computer Sleep + Display Sleep) won't work since Mavericks

    Howdy,
    Sorry to bother you.
    My computer: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
    It took me some time to upgrade to Mavericks, but I did it eventually.
    After having some problems with Spotlight (which was infinite looping indexing... and I just had to turn if off from Terminal), I realized I was encountering another big problem to me since the installation of Mavericks.
    In System Preferences:
    - 'Desktop and Screen Saver > Screen Saver' : it is set to 1 minute;
    - 'Energy Saver > Computer Sleep' : it is set to 10 minutes;
    - 'Energy Saver > Display Sleep' : it is set to 5 minutes;
    - 'Energy Saver > Put hard disks to sleep when possible' : it is checked.
    - 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access' : it was checked. I unchecked it. Nothing changes.
    - 'Energy Saver > Start up automatically after a power failure' : it is unchecked.
    - 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
    So, before Mavericks, everything was working great.
    Now, after 1 minute, or after 5 minutes, or after 10 minutes: it's all the same. Nothing is sleepy. Nothing is energy saving.
    I did not change anything in my computer since I've updated to Mavericks. However, I changed Wi-Fi. Since it was the only new change, I've "played" with 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access'. When I opened my System Preferences, it was checked. I unchecked it. It did not change anything. I'm not sure what it's used for.
    I would appreciate any advice to make it work as it used to.
    Thanks for your time reading and typing your answer,
    Have a good day,
    Regards,

    - 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
    Built into the Software now.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might try Spotlight again. That is how the App Store knows what is installed.

  • Turn off the screen saver is greyed out in Presentation Settings

    Hi,
    We are using Windows 7, and want to allow laptop users the ability to "turn off the screen saver" when they are running presentations. However, this option is greyed out and the box is not selectable.
    We have the usual screen saver group policies, i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from Enable screen saver, since if I disable this then
    it says users cannot change screen saver options, so I left this one as enabled.
    However, the "Turn off the screen saver" box is still greyed out. Does anyone know which group policy setting will enable this option?
    Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine in mid presentation?
    I've seen some sites mention utilities that run in the background and simulate mouse clicks, but we're not allowed to run these kind of utilities, and no forums seem to be able to provide an answer to this problem.
    Thxs.
    Jaz

    Hi,
    >>i.e. enable screen saver, Prevent changing the screen saver, screen saver timeout, and force specific screen saver. I have tried to Disable all these apart from
    Enable screen saver,
    Before going further, please make sure that the group policy settings were applied correctly. We can run cmd command
    gpresult/v or gpresult/z on clients to collect group policy to check this.
    Besides, if the issue persists, we can try setting all these settings to
    Not Configured.
    >>Also, is there a way to keep the screen saver settings and also be able to use Presentation Settings, so that the screen saver does not come on and lock the machine
    in mid presentation?
    Based on the description, it is not easy to do this. However, we can reduce the effect of screen saver by choosing to not enable
    Password protect the screen saver, and not set the setting
    On resume, display logon screen on Screen Saver Settings dialogue box. Besides, we need to not let our power plan settings lock out the computer within a short time.

  • "Windows could not start this screen saver"

    My timeline playback gets interrupted by Windows' dummy screen saver consisting of a blank screen with the message "Windows could not start this screen saver".  I'm running Premiere CS 5.5 on Windows 7.  I only see this message while Premiere is running so Premiere must be doing something that blocks the current screen saver but doesn't block Windows from attempting to start it.  Is there a way to keep Windows from attempting to start the screen saver at all (other than selecting no screen saver in Windows) so it doesn't interrupt playback?

    years ago screen savers helped keep crt monitors from getting 'burned in' areas of dead pixels etc from the screen being on a static image for too long. over the years this problem has been almost totally eliminated by monitor manufacturers i think.
    i know people who worked in pro graphic houses that never turned off their computers, never used screen savers, and never did power management stuff ... the computers were on 24/7... and they never had problems.. and that was like more than 10 years ago.
    i do have a nice snake screen saver that is static and / or animated if you want to try it out, but frankly, i would turn all that stuff off ( power management, screen saver ) and either leave your computer on all the time 24/7, or else just turn it off when you leave the computer... turn it back on when you want to use it.  is only a button on tower to turn on and off usually.. easy.
    let me know if you want snakes though... they are very cool and scary !

  • Sleep/Screen Saver

    Hi. Whenever I put my computer in Sleep Mode, I do not see my screen saver come up. I have set my Screen Saver to 5 minutes and Sleep Mode to 30. I do not know why I do not see it pop up. Secondly, when I am on AIM ,and I go into Sleep Mode, I will get logged off AIM, how can I fix this problem as well? Thanks for all your help. New PC to Mac User

    Hi Jeremy-
    Under System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver tab, click test - does it go to screen saver? If so, good. Confirm that it's set to 5 minutes on the slider.
    Under Systam Preferences > Energy Saver click the Show Details button if it's there. Make sure both sliders are set to 30 minutes (if the lower display sleep timer is set to 5 min, the display will turn off before your screen saver can activate). Also note that there are separate choices for Battery and Power Adapter in the top drop-down menu, so if you set it to 30 minutes for Power Adapter and are running on battery, it may go to sleep earlier depending on those settings.
    For your second point, sleep logging you out of AIM, there is no way around that - when your MBP goes to sleep it will close all network connections. Period. If you want to remain logged in to AIM, you need to keep your computer from sleeping. You can set the Put computer to sleep timer to Never, and you will stay awake and logged on to AIM (you can set the display to go to sleep earlier and that will not log you out).
    Hope this helps...

  • 101 screen saver

    I've got a new 101 and I'm trying to set the power saver/screen saver to show the time and date, but it does not seem to work...the screen just fades to black despite having tried both the options of turning the screen saver "off" or "on". When I try to use one of the default screen savers on the phone, it doesn't show up either. THe screen just fades to black...I've tried changing the time-out and even switching the screen saver to "on" but it doesn't work.
    My friend has got the same phone and his phone displays the time and date without fading to a blank screen...I'm trying to get that on mine but can't!! The manual doesn't help either. Is it a problem with my phone?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    You may try to set your phone's profile to General and see if it will work. To do this, go to Settings and then Profile.  Select General and then select Activate. 

  • Screen saver overrides iTunes cover flow in Lion

    On my new iMac (OSX 10.7.1, iTunes 10.4.1), when in full screen cover flow mode, the screen saver overrides this, which is annoying as I like to leave it playing with the artwork displayed. This did not happen on my old (Leopard) Mac. I can't find any preference setting that seems to fix this. I dont really want to turn off the screen saver - I didn't have to before, why now?

    Have you tried creating a hot corner (System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver - Hot Corners) to disable the screen saver by parking mouse pointer in the "hot corner."
    I'm assuming Lion still has this function.

  • System crash; data recovered; screen saver no longer works 10.3.9

    My iMac crashed last Fri and finally today the dealer received the hard drive and recovered my data.
    So far all is working EXCEPT my screensaver which used to work beautifully with OS X 10.3.5.
    I DID update things including a OS X Update Combined" (10.3.9):
    Installed "Apple Remote Desktop Client" (1.2.4)
    Installed "iSync" (1.5)
    Installed "iPhoto Update" (2.0.1)
    Installed "Java 1.4.2 Update 2" (1.4.2 Update 2)
    Installed "Security Update 2004-09-16" (1.0)
    Installed "iCal" (1.5.5)
    Installed "iPod Updater 2006-01-10" ((null))
    Installed "iTunes" (6.0.4)
    Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.3.9)
    Installed "Security Update 2004-10-27" (1.0)
    Installed "Security Update 2005-002" (2.0.0)
    Installed "Security Update 2005-004" (1.0)

    Installed "QuickTime" (7.0.4)
    Installed "Safari Update" (1.3.2)
    Installed "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0)
    The problem is twofold:
    1 - sys pref > desktop & screen saver > desktop
    this option still allows me to select my picture folder, but no longer scrolls through the subfolders of pictures
    2 - sys pref > desktop & screen saver > screen saver
    while I CAN select my picture folder, i get a "looking for slides" message and finally after about maybe 20 seconds the first picture in the folders appears but when the screen saver is activated, I only get a black screen
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thank you -
    Pat

    I just noticed that the Shell screensaver has the same issue of taxing my CPU to nearly 200%. Very frustrating!!!

  • Screen saver no longer respects iPhoto albums in 10.4.8?

    System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver -> Screen Saver offers a list of iPhoto albums. It used to be that the screen saver would display pictures from the selected album only. But now all my iPhoto pictures are rotated through the screen saver, regardless of album selection. The only thing I've changed AFAIK is the 10.4.8 upgrade. Any way to get the old behavior back?
    (I've found other posts about problems with iPhoto and screen saver, but nothing addressing this precise problem.)
    PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iPhoto 2.0.1

    I just tried it, having also just updated (in fact I did about 12 updates all at once, including QuickTime, iPhoto 6.05 as well as the system update) and it worked as expected, just cycling thru the photos in the selected album.
    I have seen cases in earlier versions of iPhoto and the OS where the screensaver wouldn't work when using System Prefs, but would it you selected it in iPhoto. Don't remember how the earlier version of iPhoto worked (I think there was a button in the toolbar at the bottom of iPhoto), the way it works in iPhoto 6 is very weird: you select an album, then select the photos, then go to the Share menu and select Desktop. It plasters all the photos onto your Desktop and launches the System Prefs where you can set the options for the Screensaver. You'll notice that instead of an album being selected there is a new folder in the top section called "iPhoto Selection." I then switched my Desktop back to its usual neutral gray and screensaver remained as I had set it. Truly goofy, but it might be worth a try.

  • Scroll Bar missing on Safari web pages and unfamiliar screen saver image

    I recently upgraded my OS X from Panther to Tiger v. 10.4.11 and upgraded to Safari 3.1.2. Now the scroll bar down the right side is missing from the open web page in Safari. Where did it go and how do I get it back?
    Also, unfamiliar images appear, something like a screen saver when I leave my computer for a
    few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down. It's a black/white/gray portrait of
    a woman and as the picture moves around the screen, the image magnifies. I have no idea
    where this image came from nor how to get rid of it. Any ideas?

    Hi Busy1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
    If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Might try this for Scroll Bars...
    http://lifehacker.com/5040043/add-double-scroll-arrows-to-both-ends-of-the-scrol l-bar
    when I leave my computer for a
    few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down...
    Check System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen saver Tab for that.

  • Screen Saver Randomness

    Hello!
    I've been having a problem - more of an annoyance - that the screensaver I set in System Preferences will, at seemingly random times, switch away from my iPhoto slideshow to something else, usually another album, but sometimes to the Computer Name screensaver. (long sentense, I know)
    Does anyone else have this problem? Where is preference file that stores the screensaver preferences? Perhaps I could have a hidden program that periodically checks System Preferences and tells it what screen saver I would like.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi, emptyage. Welcome to the Discussions.
    1. In System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver, be sure you've not selected the "Use random screen saver" checkbox, which is below the list of screen savers.
    2. As to the screen saver preferences files, the following files in your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder contain screen saver preferences:(a) com.apple.screensaver.xxx.plist
    (b) com.apple.screensaver.screensaver_name.xxx.plist
    where- xxx is an alphanumeric string, and
    - screensaver_name is the name of a screen saver you have used.Whether preferences files of the type shown in (b) exist depends upon the screen saver and if you have changed its options, if any.
    Good luck!
