Quick way of disabling the Screen Saver

Hi - is there any way of quickly disabling the screen saver when giving a presentation.
I know about using a corner on the screen but that means the mouse has to be kept there and using it to scroll through the presentation may mean the screen saver becomes active if you move it out of the corner by mistake.
Thanks

There's really no need to disable it; the screen saver won't activate while playing a presentation in Keynote.

  • Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

    Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
    The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
    Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

    Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.

  • Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

    Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user?  My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in.   I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver.  I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his.  How?  Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos.  Thank you. Melody

    In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
    You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
    You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
    As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
    If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
    Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
    After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?

    I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.

    You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one.  Wjosten's reply wasn't rude.  It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating.  You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen).  It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer.  It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
    If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.
    www.apple.com/feedback
    This is a technical assistance forum, not an 'emotional assistance' forum.  Wjosten was not rude or insulting in any way.  You were.
    This is where we tell you how to solve your technical issues.  There are no shoulders to cry upon here.
    Direct, accurate information.  That's what wjosten provided.

  • 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.

  • Can I change the screen saver on my apple tv? or change the display to the awesome equalizer while i stream my music?

    I am trying to find a way to change the screen saver for my apple tv while I stream my music. Anyone have a solution? Besides my photos, can i show the awesome equilizer? Or can I show the album artwork screensaver that the macs have? I feel like this feature is much needed on the Apple TV while I stream my music to the Apple TV 2nd generation!

    Hi byee322!
    If you are using devices that meets these criteria:
    iPhone 4S (or later), iPad 2 (or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation)1
    Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)2
    Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n) network
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    you may want to try using a feature called Airplay Mirroring to show whatever you'd like on the screen while your music is playing. We have a couple of articles about that online that can tell you more information about Airplay Mirroring. The first one here is about using Mountain Lion to mirror the display from your Mac onto the TV to which the Apple TV is connected, and can be found here:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    The second is an article with more information about Airplay Mirroring in iOS, and can be found here:
    iOS: How to use AirPlay Mirroring

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Turning off the Screen Saver on a SWF that is set to continuously loop

    We have a CP5 project set on a computer for continuous play but we are having problems because the screen saver will come on.  Is there any advanced action or steps we can take to keep the screen saver from coming on. 

    Hi Susan
    I think you will find the simplest solution is to just disable the screen saver on the PC as well as any power saving features.
    Cheers... Rick

    Hi ..
    Might be corrupted preferences.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.screensaver.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then reset your screen saver.

  • Is there any way programmatically to disable the screen shot capture using Home   power button in the iPad device?

    Hi Team,
    Is there any way programmatically to disable the screen shot capture using Home + power button in the iPad device.We need to avoid the screen capture option due to security reason.
    thanks ,
    Bala

    Hi Peace, Clyde,
      Thanks for information. Using the API  UIApplicationUserDidTakeScreenhotNotification (iOS7)  send the notification after the screenshot taken.  Using this api is it possible to block the screen shot caputure option.

  • Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

    Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data.  We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage.  We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud.  Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to.  Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products.  We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

    hi Nikolay,
    there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
    _layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
    _layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
    _layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
    Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

  • HT204379 Is there any way the screen saver can recognize nested folders?

    Since the last couple of updates to Mac OS, the screen saver function has regressed in features.  I have not been able to get the program to recognize pictures in nested folders--something the program did without problem in earlier versions of the OS.  This severely limits the slide show capability of the screen saver.  Why would an OS update--an improvement, if you will--reduce significantly the functionality of a built-in feature?

    Apple continues to cripple useful functions. All I can suggest is to File a bug report with Apple.

  • Is there a way to disable the Thunderbolt Display?

    Hey Guys,
    I recently got a Thunderbolt Display and connected it up to my iMac (i bought the iMac in Jan 2013) and everything is working just as perfect as i thought it would apart from one thing.
    I have had a search around to see if there is any way to turn off the Thunderbolt display without having to keep pulling out the Thunderbolt Cable, as you can imagine having to do this each time means that i need to re-arrange all my windows when i plug the display back in. I have tried to use SwitchResX but when disabling the thunderbolt display it turns off and then instantly turns back on.
    Does anyone know if there is an App or something that can be installed to perhaps put the screen into sleep mode without disconnecting? I have also looked at the screen saver hot corners as someone on the  community mentioned that but this never worked either.
    Cheers
    Michael

    I am looking for the same solution! Had the same experience with SwitchResX.
    Please, people, help us!

  • The screen saver too dark

    ok i had my e65 a fews days now and i have
    nearly figured out everything as in all
    the functions with the exception of these,
    which i need help with.
    1, when the sreensaver comes on i notice
    that its too dark and i mean, if i wanted
    to quickly look at the time and/or date
    i have to focus properly to see it, i cant
    quickly glance on it as other phones
    is there some sort of control to adjust the
    clock on the screensaver to turn the brightness
    or contrast up a bit that i may have
    overlooked ?
    2, whats the real purpose of this light sensor
    on the top right hand corner ?
    i have covered it a few times in day light and
    low to no light at all but nothing happens.
    thanks in advance

    KD44
    "Did you work out how to do it, I've still not sorted it either?"
    nope i have not figured them out yet... the screen saver is too dark and that light sensor must be some sort of joke.
    MINI RANT MODE ON
    the light sensor really annoys me to look at knowing it serves no purpose at all and after using a few other screen savers its too bloodly dark. it would of been better if nokia had put nothing there at all at least this way i could understand that there is nothing to look at.
    as for the slow capture actions of the camera..... well i will leave that for another time
    MINI RANT MODE OFF
    apart from that though the nokia e65 is the best ever phone i have used to date. connecting via VPN or SSH to my home server is a breeze, using SIP with www.sipgate.co.uk is like talking on a house phone (very clear) the internet is fast even with the stock browser.
    too many good points to mention
    sorry KD44 i think i slightly diverted from the main question
    if you figure them out then please let me know.. its obvious that one other nokia knows the answer.
    Thanks
    Nokeya
