Problems with Mavericks screen saver

I downloaded Mavericks on Saturday. On Sunday after the download was completed my screensaver from my IPhoto library was replaced by a blue "wave" shot which is one of the default screens on the new OS. I tried to reload my photo as a screensaver with no success. I spent 3 hours with Apple Support and three different support representatives. All unsuccessful. It would appear that the Mavericks OS will only allow you to use one of the Apple default screens as the screen saver. Has anyone else experienced this problem? In my old OS one simply clicked on system preferences, then screensavers and you chose a photo from the list of Apple landscapes, etc or a photo from the IPhoto library. That option seems not to exist any longer. Welcome comments by new Mavericks users.

Yes, I have the same issue.

Has anyone had a problem with the screen saver not coming on?

My preferences settings are as follows:
Energy
Computer sleep: 15 min
Display sleep: 15 min
Desktop & Screen Saver
Start screen saver: 5 min

hi Thank you so much for your reply. I swear with every Apple product every time there is a problem with a product it acts up at home but at soon as I get to the store everything is resolved. There is no longer a problem. I end up looking like someone who is trying to hassle the employees. I will test it out for a little longer to see if it might improve.

Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

Hi all,
I have a problem with sub-screen.
I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
*SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
Thanks in advance.

for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
Consider d code given below as n eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
    EXPORTING
      titlebar              = 'SAVE'
      text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
      text_button_1         = 'YES'
      text_button_2         = 'NO'
      default_button        = '2'
      display_cancel_button = ' '
    IMPORTING
      answer                = l_ans
    EXCEPTIONS
      text_not_found        = 1
      OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e066.
ENDIF.
IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
   MODIFY db.
   commit work.
   leave program.
ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'. "when no is pressed
    leave program.
ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
ENDIF.
In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
Reward properly.

Is anyone have problems with Maverick installation?

I had problems with Maverick installation. It moved slowly and I lost the ability to use my Finder. It was riddled with bugs. I am trying to figure out why. I ended up erasing hard drive and reinstalling Mountian Lion.

No problems with Mavericks here ..
How much free storage space on your iMac?
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.
The v10.9 Mavericks file is a little over 5GB's and Mavericks does require a high speed broadband connection.

Three Problems with Mavericks

I have three problems with Mavericks:
1. I can't create a Downloads Folder or any folder in the dock. The folder is replaced with documents ONLY. When I create an alias, it's replaced with a question mark unless I leave another alias in my user folder?
2. I have a second monitor hooked up to my MBP, but when I enter Time Machine, a large solid black rectangle overlays and blocks the Time Machine backup info screen?
3. I downloaded a Filemaker update and received "Filemaker can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I think the workaround was to push Control or Option to Open, but now the file keeps reappearing on my desktop after it's been installed, trashed and the computer restarted. Other trashed files and logs are also popping up in my user folder, long after they've been deleted...very strange. Any suggestions to any of these problems?

I'm researching this and other issues with SMB - you might find this post useful
Windows computers can not access smb-shares in Lion
It seems your connections from Windows (or perhaps from any user connecting via SMB - perhaps including home shares via SMB?) need to specify DOMAIN\user (eg SERVERNAME\user)... more info at the post above.

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

Performance problem with Mavericks.

Performance problem with Mavericks. My Mac is extremly slow after upgrading to Mavericks. What can i do to solve that?

If you are still experiencing slow down issues, it maybe because of a few other reasons.
Our experience with OS X upgrades, and Mavericks is no exception, is that users have installed a combination of third party software and/or hardware that is incompatible and/or is outdated that causes many negative performance issues when upgrading to a new OS X version.
Your Mac's hard drive maybe getting full.
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Commercial Antivirus software can slow down and negatively impact the normal operation of OS X.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac? These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Your Mac may have way too many applications launching at startup/login.
Your Mac may have old, non-updated or incompatible software installed.
Your Mac could have incompatible or outdated web browser extensions, plugins or add-ons.
Your Mac could have connected third party hardware that needs updated device drivers.
It would help us to help you if we could have some more technical info about your iMac.
If you so choose, please download, install and run Etrecheck.
Etrecheck was developed as a simple Mac diagnostic report tool by a regular Apple Support forum user and technical support contributor named Etresoft. Etrecheck is a small, unobstrusive app that compiles a static snapshot of your entire Mac hardware system and installed software.
This is a free app that has been honestly created to provided help in diagnosing issues with Macs running the new OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
It is not malware and can be safely downloaded and installed onto your Mac.

Problem with SAP Screen

Not sure if this is the correct forum.
Okies, a user of mine has a problem with her SAP screens. It seems that she can't view the full screen of CJ20N She has to drag the window bigger to be able to see the content. She uses this window in a split monitor view, i.e. some of the applications are displaying on the laptop window while other applications display on the monitor.
Details of her SAPGUI:
Release 640 Final
File version: 6404.4.16.1015
Build: 774474
Patch Level : 16
Do note that her primary monitor (notebook) is always set to 1280x800 and the secondary monitor is set to 1024x768. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Hi,
This is problem with windows screen resolution. Better to use, maximum supported window size and make sure to use same size for both the screens.

Problem with matrix/screen in Qosmio F55-Q502

Hello
For a few weeks I have strange problem with matrix/screen in my laptop.
The matrix flickers very often - no matter if power cable is plugged or not.
The screen is full bright and suddenly it starts to blink - it is getting darker, than lighter, usually for few/dozen seconds. It does it when nobody touches it or when I work on it.
It very annoying and making eyes tired - it does it very quickly and there are few levels of screen brightness.
Moreover sometimes the screen turns off - You can see what is on desktop but the screen is very very dark (but not blank or completely switched off). It happens without any reason - sometimes just in the middle of working, sometime for example when I touch (not pull) the power cable between laptop and power supply.
Then, the only way to get back to normal brightness of screen id to close the lid just for half a second and open it
- matrix lights then normally, but can "turns off" moment later and I must do it once again - sometimes even few times..
After "action" with lid screens seems like nothing ever happen..
Does anyone have idea what is the cause of such behaviour or how to diagnose it in details?
Or maybe solve this problem?
Best regards

Sounds like the Backlight or Inverter is failing or there is a loose connection.
Is the unit under warranty? Send it to an ASP for repair.
You should avoid repairing it yourself, the backlight is very high voltage!

Problems with share screen in lion

Hello
I have had problems with share screen since i have installed Lion. I can't share screen even inside the Lan, between Macs and between Mac and Iphone. It's like Lion would had some port block in any hidden place. Anyone knows something about it?

FINALLY! Got Screen Sharing to work! REPLACE ARDAgent (v3.5.1) with the older v3.4
Instructions by tchaga:
1. Download ARD 3.4 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1350 RemoteDesktopClient.dmg), mount it, look inside the package/Contents, copy the Archive.pax.gz to the desktop
2. Expand the Archive.pax.gz and navigate inside the resulting folder Archive to /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
3. Navigate to the same folder at the root of your HD (i.e. HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement)
4. Copy ARDAgent from your HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to the Desktop and then delete it from the HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement folder (you need admin password).
5. Copy ARDAgent from Archive/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement (you need admin password again).
6. Restart
