Preview Slideshow stop screensaver

When I am using the Slideshow from Preview (version 4.0 (469)) on OS X 10.5.1 the screen saver comes on in the middle of slideshow.
Does any body know how to stop this?
I would expect the screen saver to come on when the slideshow gets to the end but not in the middle!
thanks
Morgy

No. It's only for the full screen slideshow.

  • How do I get Preview Slideshow to appear in external monitor/projector

    In Preview in Snow Leopard, I could set up a slideshow and use it for presentations through an external monitor or on a screen using a projector. I did this by dragging the Preview window onto the external monitor and then clicking on View/Slideshow. A kind of poor man's PowerPoint presentation, but very quick to set up. Now, unless the displays are mirrored, as soon as I click on View/Slideshow, the slideshow is "sucked" back onto the screen on my MacBook, leaving the external screen blank.
    I have found that there are alternatives to Preview available, like Xee, but with the Preview slideshow feature, only the pictures appear on the screen, with all the background being black, which looks more "professional".
    Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop the Preview slideshow ending up back on the MacBook?

    There is something terribly wrong with Lion's support for two monitors, compared to previous Mac OSes, and it looks like you have found another instance of that fact. Oddly enough it seems like QuickLook may work where Preview doesn't. Anyway, I have two monitors and if I move a folder full of images to the secondary monitor, then select the images and right click and then click QuickLook in the Contextual Menu, then click the full screen arrows and the play button, the slideshow will play on the second monitor. If I open the pix in Preview, move the Preview window to the second monitor, and select "Play Slideshow" it promptly moves everything to the main screen, ditto for clicking the full screen arrows within Preview--moves to main monitor and in effect turns off secondary monitor. So give QuickLook a try and see if that will work for your purposes.

  • Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly)

    Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly).
    When I search for certain words in a PDF using preview, it correctly finds all the pages in the document with that word.  However, it no longer highlights the word being searched for.  I have looked through the various settings and cannot figure out how to turn this back on.
    Thanks.

    4Shared worked, but having to register to retrieve files from there is a nuisance.
    The problem is that you use special graphic state operators inside text objects which is not allowed:

    Have a look at the PDF specification ISO 32000-1:2008 (e.g. at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf). Table 51 shows that q, Q, and cm are special graphics state operators, and Figure 9 illustrates that these operators, therefore, are not allowed in text objects, i.e. between BT and ET.

  • USB Pointer problems with Preview slideshow view

    I often give talks for which my slides are in PDF format (typically produced using LaTeX). Under Mountain Lion I could open the relevant PDF in Preview Slideshow View and click between slides using a Logitech pointer (Model R-RB5). Since updating to Mavericks, however, the pointer will no longer advance slides. It seems to work as expected to move between pages if Preview is not full-screen, or if it's in full-screen mode, just not in slideshow mode (and full-screen mode isn't ideal for giving talks). All seems to be fine in Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview for one or two reasons, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

  • Slideshow Stops

    My slideshow stops after a few slides and returns to iPhoto view. Any hints on what to do? Thanks

    CB
    If you can't run a slide show with iPhoto 4, then iPhoto 6 is not going to solve your problem.
    iPhoto may give up on a slideshow if it can't keep up with the demand to load the photo files on time.
    You are using OSX 10.4. How much RAM do you have? Do you keep a lot of applications open when trying to run the slideshow? How much free space do you have on your hard drive? The OS needs free space to use temporarily for caching and virtual memory. 10 to 15% free space is a rule of thumb.

  • An internal error has occurred:  ?:0: attempt to index a nil value after installing LR5.5 update and trying to play or preview slideshow

    An internal error has occurred:  ?:0: attempt to index a nil value after installing LR5.5 update and trying to play or preview slideshow. Never had this problem before. I went to forums and see that this is a problem with previous versions and this only occurred after installing lastest update.

    Jeannine,
         If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
    Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
    Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
    C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
    If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
    Hope this helps a bit,
    Glenn

  • Using the Preview Slideshow

    Is there any way to set the time for displaying a picture using the slideshow feature in Preview. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it in Preview Preferences.

    Sorry for the late reply. I've been having issues with my cable connection. The only reason for the Preview slideshow is that I can do a slideshow from the pictures off my memory card, without downloading them to iPhoto. In Preview Preferences, I select "Open all images in one window". I have a card reader & all I do is select the files on the memory card & then Preview slideshow. If you take a bunch of pictures & want to see them right away, without having to download them, for me, it's a lot easier to do a slideshow that way.

  • Preview has stopped responding

    preview has stopped responding, menu items will open with right clicking, cannot access preferences, cannot find plist preferences file to delete it, have done repair disk permissions, now  at a loss.
    John

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Preview has stopped responding to clicks

    Preview has stopped responding to clicks and now only scrolling and hotkeys work. I already tried resetting the preferences and restarting.  Once in Preview I can't click on any system menus.  The only way to switch is using 4-finger swipe to mission control and switching apps.  Restarting doesn't fix it.  Any ideas?

    If the issue is limited to your user account Did have you try try starting up in Safe Mode and test.
    (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not Copy & paste this is your "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library
    Then go to/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the Desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, moveUsers/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting*
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    * Use your Finder "Go" menu holding the option key to choose "Library"

  • Internal error when trying to preview slideshow

    Hi all, this seems like an error a few people have had but I cant seem to find an answer for this.
    Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error:
    An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value.
    This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.
    I feel this is due to a permissions fault. I was previewing slideshows fine until yesterday when I deleted one of the users profiles on my windows PC. Since then the problem has occured. I now have only one user profile (password protected admin).
    Anybody any help? This is a real pain and I'm having to wait a long time exporting slideshows rather than a quick preview.
    I've tried in LR5 and the newly downloaded LR CC.
    Any help appreciated.
    Regards,
    Dan

    Hi there,
    Are you able to reproduce the issue consistantly with the project. Can you please ask your coworker to publish a blank project and see its working fine or not?. In case if the issue is project specific, then can you please send the .cptx file to us so that we can investigate the issue at our end. Please upload it to a shared workspace(Acrobat.com) and send me the link at [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Nimmy Sukumaran.

  • HT1923 preview song stops after a few seconds

    the preview song stops after a few seconds, any ideas on how to correct?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?
    (Doesn't work for everyone, but does no harm to check.)

  • How to prevent energy saver while viewing Preview slideshow?

    If you have the energy saver set to black out the screen relatively quickly, it will kick in while Preview is displaying a slideshow. For some other applications this does not happen, like DVD Player. Is this just an oversight? I cannot find any setting for this.

    Yes, it does seem to me like what works in iMovie and DVD Player should work in a Preview slideshow too. Too bad that it doesn't.
    You can file an enhancement request at http://bugreport.apple.com. It requires a (free) ADC membership. If Apple considers your request worth implementing, you can look for it in a subsequent software update.

  • Slideshow stops when multi-tasking - PC;Vista;LR3.4

    I'd like the ability to play a Slideshow that doesn't stop when I try and multi-task on the PC.
    For instance I like to have a slideshow running in one window and then use another window to select music or perform another task.  However, as soon as I click on the other window the LR slideshow stops.
    Bug or feature?
    Thxs
    Colin

    You and me both. I rarely use Lr slideshow for this reason. I export after editing and use ACDSee for slideshows.
    PS - Neither bug nor feature in my mind. It takes extra programming effort to maintain a full-screen slideshow when app loses focus. Adobe just didn't go the extra mile...

  • How can I make the Adobe Muse slideshow stop on mouseover?

    Using the Adobe Muse slideshow opens many possibilities and control elements. However, I have received many feedback inquiries from my customer, complaining they cannot stop the slideshow on mouse over. This can be quit a nuisance as someone is enjoying a photo with no means to stop it from fading or sliding to the next one (except when using thumbnails, clicking on those. Which is not always intuitive). Is there a way to tell the Muse slideshow widget to stop the slide when viewers mouse over the image and continue sliding / fading when viewers hoover of the image?
    Thanks, any help appreciated!

    You can't. The best you can do is click to stop it, but then the only way of starting it again is to reload the page. I believe Adobe are looking into ways of improving this in future releases. There are various workarounds: have a longer delay between slides, use a manual-only slideshow with back or next buttons (or arrows) or a combination of what you have already with these to make the best out of an imperfect situation.
    It is not possible either to have a slideshow stop at the final image which is limiting, and another point that needs addressing. Sorry; this is probably not the answer you were looking for but hope you can now make some decisions/progress.

  • Preview rendering stops prematurely : Why?

    Hello.
    I am using a large photo (3072 x 2304) and animating the anchor point to create the pan and zoom effect between two keyframes.
    The comp is set at:
    1440 x 1080 (1.33)
    29.97fps
    The preview rendering stops prematurely. What are normally the reasons for this?
    Is the photo too big?
    Any tips would be appreciated.
    Simon

    What do you mean by "prematurely"? There's only so much frames one can squeeze into physical RAM at full res... Lower the comp resolution to Half or Quarter to extend the preview.
