Random use of screen savers

Morning.
How can I limit the screen savers used in random mode to only a determined few?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich
MBP 2CD 2.16 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1 GB RAM

Hi, Friedrich.
Only by removing the undesired screen savers, which I do not recommend since it's a hack.
Screen Savers are generally installed in one of the following three folders:
1. Screen savers bundled with Mac OS X are found in the Computer > Macintosh HD > System > Library > Screen Savers folder.
2. Third-party screen savers would likely install themselves in the Computer > Macintosh HD > Library > Screen Savers folder.
3. Your Home > Library > Screen Savers folder is another potential location for third-party screen savers.
There are also two special cases to the above:• The Computer Name and Pictures Folder screen savers are buried deep within the operating system and are found in the directory:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources
• The .Mac screen saver is hidden since its file name begins with a period (.). The file actually resides in the Macintosh HD > Library > Screen Savers folder, but you need to enabled Finder's feature to display hidden and invisible files to see it. Third-party utilities, such as the freeware application TinkerTool, provide a function for enabling/disabling the Finder's ability to show hidden and invisible files.You may want to submit a Mac OS X Feedback requesting that Apple add a feature for the function you desire.
Good luck!

  • How to load my pictures as screen savers

    please forgive my ignorance but I totally do not understand what this cloud or iCloud is but i understand one must use it t o load one's own pictures onto Apple TV to use as screen savers.

    You would need to upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks and purchase iPhoto '11 from the Mac App store (unless you already have it).  Then you would have to create an iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>iCloud and signing in with your Apple ID, then check Photos.  Then you can add your photos to your photo stream using iPhoto as explained here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#pht7aaade98.  Once the photos are added to your photo stream, you can sign into your iCloud account on your Apple TV (in Settings>iCloud) and be able to access your photo stream photos for your screen saver (in Settings>Screen Saver>Photos>iCloud Photos>My Photo Stream).
    You might also want to consider waiting until OS X Yosemite is released later this year.  It will include a new built-in Photos app and iCloud will include a new iCloud Photo Library feature (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/preview/).  These are likely to supersede the need to purchase and use iPhoto to accomplish this.

  • IPhoto faces and screen savers incorrect way round, but photos correct

    Hello,
    I recently got a MacBook pro, and am in the process of organising my iPhoto library.
    I seem to be having an issue where many of the faces are the incorrect way round in the faces view, but when I go to the file, it is correct.
    This also happens with Screen savers.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    James Rosen

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
    It was moved to the library by being imported from an NTFS external hard drive, which has now been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), the iPhoto library was originally located on the built in SSD drive, but is now located on an external hard drive, due to capacity limitations.
    I am seeing the incorrect face orientations when I view the faces in the faces view of iPhoto, when I go onto a person, some are incorrect orientation.
    But when I click on the files, they are correct.
    |
    They are also incorrect using photo screen savers.
    (These images are for demo purposes only, and the issue is not limited to the photos shown).

  • Use Aperture for Screen Savers

    Not sure what happened.  I completely lost my choice of using my Aperture Library for Screen Savers.  I'm not even given the option anymore.  Is there anyone out there who knows why this might be?  Yesterday my screen saver was showing my photos from Aperture; today it shows National Geographic photos.

    I'm having the exact same issue.... but I'm not getting iphoto or Aperture options. I just upgraded to Mavericks 2 days prior and before I did the upgrade I was using a folder from my aperture library.
    Any advice... or is this something that takes time to load and I just have to give is some time... as in hours or days as my aperture library is large??
    Thanks

  • "Ken Burns" and other photo screen savers scramble my display

    I have a three-display Mac Pro which I have just upgraded to Mavericks.   My rightmost display is a Dell P2012H rotated 90º, and every time a photo-based screen saver activates, that display gets scrambled.  While the screen saver is running it looks like one of those tile-shifting puzzles being randomized, except instead of a single image it's a combination of the desktop and whatever screensaver image was being displayed.  When the screensaver deactivates, the display stays in whatever state it was last in while the screen saver was running, making that display completely useless.  In order to reset it I have to switch resolutions and then switch back.
    If I un-rotate the display, or use a non-photo screen saver (such as Flurry) then everything's fine. 
    It looks like the problem may be display-driver specific, as I've tried rotating one of my other displays (A Samsung SyncMaster) and that does not experience the same problem.
    This looks like a bug in the screen savers or in the display rotation code.  Anyone else see this?  I can probably live without the photo screen savers, but I'm wondering if I'm going to run into any other screen rotation bugs in Mavericks.

    “...not use Ken Burns with vertically oriented photos...” -- WHAT!?!?!?!?!?! You’re kidding, right?
    ...I’m sorry, but personally, after Apple made the Ken Burn Effect completely USELESS for “portrait” oriented photos, I was both astonished and outraged, and have been hoping for a TRUE fix ever since. Sure, for video, later versions of iMovie do some nice things, but why on earth would Apple all of a sudden have made the Ken Burn Effect viable for only half of my photographs?!? I’ve created several DVD slideshows, most of them containing 80-90% still photos, and I am insulted by the suggestion that “padding” photographs (adding black to the sides of every “portrait” photo), via Automator or not, is the answer -- that is utter ridiculousness -- that feature should never have been removed in the first place!!! (ADD features Apple, don’t REMOVE them!!!) The only thing that would entice me to upgrade to iLife 11 would be having this simple, but to me, absolutely necessary functionality back.
    ...So, can you tell me if the Ken Burns Effect has been fixed in the latest iLife 11 version of iMovie to treat ALL photos equally?

  • Mac Pro 2008 with 8800 GT, hard freezes with screen savers/OpenGL. You too?

    I have been experiencing random intermittent hard crashes of my "early 2008" model 8-core Mac Pro. Now I have finally found an easy reproducible test case (see below), and hope others will try it and post the results. This is a video-driver related crash that I have now duplicated with two different video cards.
    The symptom is that my screen randomly freezes. The mouse moves, but there's no way to use the Mac[1]. Holding the Power button to force the Mac to shutdown is the only way out.
    Usually, this occurs when I get to my office in the morning, or after the gym. That's because the screen saver is running. I found that the screensaver, other OpenGL/3D type applications, are what triggers this bug.
    The bug seems to be with the graphics driver. Immediately before the freeze, messages like this are printed in the system log:
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception!
    status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: 0000000c
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: 00200000 0000502d 00000470 00000000
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: 00000482 000002ac 00000003 00000003
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: 00000000 00000000 01be0003
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception!
    status = 0xffff info32 = 0x3 = Fifo: Unknown Method Error
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: 0000000b
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception!
    status = 0xffff info32 = 0x3 = Fifo: Unknown Method Error
    Other errors like these also appear (the actual log output volume is too large for this forum):
    Mar 26 21:15:15 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0x6 = Fifo: Parse Error
    Mar 26 18:34:14 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error
    Anyway, finally I found on another thread about a similar issue[2], a recommendation to run Folding@Home program to trigger the freeze. They were talking about another Mac model, but sure enough, it triggers my problem every time. I downloaded the client[3], installed it, and then launched the app which gets put in the Applications folder. It doesn't even finish bouncing once in the dock before the Mac Pro freezes.
    This is not a bug specific to Folding@Home; juding from the log messages and the effect, this is exactly the same crash that is intermittently triggered by the default Mac OS X screensavers (I use Arabesque, but I think any OpenGL screen saver does it). It's just that running Folding@Home is an easier way to trigger the bug than leaving your screensaver running for hours.
    So, that is pretty unfortunate, right? I mean, not only can my new Mac Pro not sleep without losing all unsaved data (yes, I have the reboot-instead-of-wake problem[4], too, but that is another issue...) but it also crashes at random whenever the screen saver runs for a while, or somebody uses OpenGL programs. I have set my machine to never use the screen saver, but still.
    So, first and foremost, my question for other 2008 Mac Pro owners with the 8800 video card is: does your Mac puke all over itself when you launch Folding@Home?
    I just found it a little bit hard to believe that every Mac owner of the most expensive new Mac and the higher end video card will have these crashes. It could be, but it seemed far-fetched. So I tried some troubleshooting:
    a
    1.) I considered that I had a bad video card, so I got another GeForce 8800 GT and installed that. Still crashed.
    2.) I disconnected my second monitor, and tried it with only one monitor. Still crashed.
    3.) I booted from the pristine boot disk my Mac shipped with (10.5.1). Still crashed.
    4.) I reduced the resolution on my 30" Cinema display to 800x600. Still crashed.
    5.) Just to stave off the usual chorus of "try zapping your PRAM" posts, I zapped the PRAM. Of course, this did nothing (I don't think this has really fixed a problem since the 1990s...). Anyway, it still crashed.
    6.) In doing all these tests, I disconnected all USB/FireWire peripherals.
    7.) My Mac is totally up-to-date with Software Update as of Thu, Mar 27, 2008. Mac OS X 10.5.2.
    I don't want to return this Mac to Apple; it is wicked fast and that really helps me with my work. But, the frequent crashing really is a productivity-killer.
    So: does every 2008 Mac Pro owner with an 8800 GT have this problem?
    (Note: there are lots of similar problems with other Macs and the new Mac OS X 10.5... I hope to specifically address this particular model and crash in this thread.)
    If not, I will go to the next extreme step: pulling out some of my RAM. I have 12GB of RAM, and it all seems to work fine, no parity errors or anything. But I know sometimes problems don't happen unless there's "too much" RAM, "too high" resolution, and so on. But I would like to hear from others before I go banging on my precious DIMMs and riser cards.
    Thanks for any information!
    The next step will be to determine if this is just another unfortunate defect that affects ALL 2088 Mac Pros (in which case I would want to keep my fast Mac and wait for fixed drivers), or if perhaps just a subset of them have defective video cards that cause the driver to crash in this way (in which case I would want a replacement).
    ---------- NOTES: ----------
    [1]: I can connect via SSH on the command line to the Mac. However, the GUI environment seems borked; opening apps or trying to gracefully quit them via AppleScript either does not work or really hard freezes everything, such that SSH no longer works either.
    [2]: A similar (but perhaps different) issue affecting notebooks is discussed here, and there are some people with Mac Pros, too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6786960

    Hello guys, thank you for the replies.
    I do have more data at this point.
    ujeezy: Those posts on MacNN and others like them did give some clues.
    Jon BWFC: I think you are (partly) right that it's (partly) an issue with the driver. But I have confirmed with a fair degree of certainty in my case that it is a hardware issue too, likely with the video card and not the Mac Pro itself.
    cmcom: I think it sounds like you problem is different than the one we're talking about (although who knows, the driver could be causing that too). The freeze we are seeing locks up the whole Mac, and no application crash report is produced.
    I had another GeForce 8800 card, so I went through some exhaustive troubleshooting. I tested each card, installed in each of the 16x slots, booting from either my normal 10.5.2 boot disk or a clone of the pristine virgin system disk that shipped with the Mac, and tried to see if the Mac would crash.
    Unfortunately this was harder than it seems, because:
    a.) both my GeForce 8800 cards appear to be defective, but in different ways (see [1] and [2] below)
    b.) In my testing, I thought I was seeing the crash sometimes, but later I discovered that there are different ways to make the Mac crash like this. That is, there are bugs in Mac OS X 10.5.x (probably in the NVIDIA driver) that cause similar crashes, and these bugs occur on all Mac Pro units and even other Mac models, without any hardware defects. Unfortunately, the Folding@home exercises one such bug.[3]
    So the upshot is, all those times I was using Folding@home to test this issue were bogus, because Folding@home crashes any Mac Pro with the NVIDIA card, and crashes MacBook Pro machines with NVIDIA chips as well.
    Argh! So I had to retest. It took a couple of days but I found another reliable way to crash my Mac Pro, more quickly than just leaving the screensaver on for a day or two: run this OpenGL virtual fish tank simulator[4] for 2-3 minutes. Unlike the Folding@home test, this did not crash any of my other Macs, and after exhaustive testing I found that it ONLY crashed the Mac Pro with one of the GeForce 880 cards installed, and not the other one. This was regardless of what slot it was installed in or what boot disk was used.
    Whew! So, I concluded that indeed, there is a hardware defect in one of my GeForce 8800 cards which causes the machine to lock up. [2]
    What made this problem much harder to deal with was the fact that Mac OS X (specifically the graphics driver parts of the OS, perhaps NVIDIA-specific) crashes with these same symptoms in other cases too. Like when you run Folding@home, or in some of these cases people are talking about with their MacBook Pro machines.
    So, when there is a bona-fide hardware defect, it is really hard to isolate. (It took me like four days.)
    The thing is, the defective NVIDIA card that crashes the Mac[2] was a REPLACEMENT card for the 8800 card that shipped with my Mac. I called Apple about the video artifacts I was seeing and they replaced the card.
    I am now running the original card (and suffering the ugly video artifacts, but no crashes). At my own expense, I ordered an ATI card (the RADEON HD 2600 XT) and I will install that.
    I hope someday to have my Mac work without graphics glitches or crashes. For now, operating (mostly) without crashes will have to do.
    The original problem with this Mac continues, though: the video doesn't work correctly; it starts displaying visual artifacts after 1-72 hours of use[1]. That could either be because:
    a.) a hardware defect in that video card
    b.) a software problem with the driver/OS
    c.) a hardware defect in the Mac itself
    I strongly suspect A, but hopefully my buying a different card and testing with that will help further isolate what is wrong.
    I am marking this thread "solved" because the specific issue I originally posted about has been resolved: the GeForce 8800 card causing the crashes is defective, and using another card fixes that issue.
    [1]: The original GeForce 8800 card that shipped with my Mac Pro exhibited annoying-but-not-deadly video artifacts, which can be seen here: http://masonmark.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/bogusvideoartifacts.jpg
    [2]: Apple replaced the video card, and that is when my deadly video-corruption-plus-frozen-Mac crash problem began. A screenshot example of that problem can be seen here: http://masonmark.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/crashedmac_pro_akashitball.jpg
    [3]: The red herring in this case was the Mac OS X bug (seemingly specific to NVIDIA-equipped Macs including Mac Pro and MacBook Pro) that causes a very similar full system crash. This bug can easily be triggered by running the Folding@home version "6.10beta2" demo application. That is a serious bug, and since my employer is a Mac software company I reported this bug to Apple via the official channel. It is Apple bug number 5830772.
    [4]: The OpenGL fish tank simulator I found, which would trigger the system crash caused by my defective 8800 video card (but would not crash any other Mac, or crash my Mac Pro with the other 8800 video card installed) can be found at: http://uri.cat/software/Fish/

  • Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

    My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they  were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction.  I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

  • Open the Library/Screen Savers?

    Hello,
    I run Leopard, and I tried to use PackageMaker to package up a Quartz Composition I made. I tried to make PackageMaker place the composition into User/Library/Screen Savers, but that would not work. It would work fine in my account, but if I tried on a different computer, it would not place the file.
    So unless anyone knows how to use PackageMaker, I decided to write an applescript that would open User/Library/Screen Savers
    This probably wont work on, since it would open MY account, that does NOT exist on the other computer.
    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Screen Savers" of folder "Library" of folder "philippehewett" of folder "Users" of startup disk
    end tell
    Any other suggestions?
    Regards,
    Please Help Me

    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    open folder (((path to library folder from user domain) as string) & "Screen Savers:")

  • Quartz Screen savers no longer work in OSX 10.8.

    They were made in earlier OSX versions and still run in OSX 10.7 on another machine. I see other quartz files in the Screen Saver folder in the Library of the 10.8 machine but mine won't work. Why does the System Pref window display the quartz files that came with the system but not the ones I made and inserted? Do I need to run these .qtz files through something or install them in a new manner? They show up in the window of the different folders fine and the preview of them show the animation just fine.  They simply don't show up in the Screen Saver app in the System Preferences so are not able to be used. 

    I placed my older .qtz screensavers into system>library>screensaver where the screensavers and slideshows that came with the ML installation placed them.  I have now used their names for my older .qtz files and when I use the System Preferences and look at Desktop/Screensaver I do not see my older qtz files, I only see the ones that came with the installation.
    But, since I have renamed my older qtz file after one of the existing ones (Arabesque), when I choose Arabesque I actually engage my older qtz file.  This allows me to use the file but does not answer why this is happening.  Am I now limited to only the number screen savers that came with the installation as renamed files? 
    So, this discussion has helped me to do what I wanted but I have not solved the actual problem.  There must be a simple explanation and way to use a file with its proper name. 

  • Computer Name and Flurry only available Screen Savers

    I've lost all the built in Apple Screen Savers except for Computer Name and Flurry. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it? I looked in Computer > System > Library > Screen Savers and saw all of them there, but when I open up my System Prefs, they aren't listed. I tried repairing permissions but that didn't work. Any ideas?
    Also, I have an iSight camera, and PhotoBooth is telling me my card isn't compatible, even though I used it one time when I first installed Leopard. Any clues on that one? I'm thinking this has something to do with one of the recent updates.

    OK, so after not getting anywhere (not to mention growing tired of too much desktop) I disconnected my secondary monitor that was hooked via a VGA to DVI connector to my ATI X1900 XT card, and now all the screen savers are back. Looks like it just didn't like having the connector.

  • Help did 9.1 update and now cant find where my screen  savers

    hi i just updated my system to 9.1 and now i cant find the screen savers there is no screen saver control panel .looked every where i u can help me i would be indebted to u i am a newbie been using windows for ten year im in lov e with this mac !!!!!

    Hi, alottab -
    i beilive it has a folder named previos system
    That would indicate that you did perform a Clean Install.
    The result of a Clean Install is that you get a brand new, "clean" System Folder of the new OS, and the old one is renamed to "Previous System Folder". The "Previous" one contains all the items that had been in the OS before the update; the new one does not.
    Your screensaver software should be in the Previous System Folder. None of its files are accessed by the new OS, which is why you would not have access to the control panel for that screensaver software. In order to use the old items in the new OS, you would need to move the software from the Previous System Folder to the appropriate locations in the new one.
    Notes -
    1) Do not replace any of the OS 9 software with items from the Previous System Folder. Older third-party (non-Apple) software items may or may not work in OS 9, but be sure to not replace any OS 9 system software items with ones from OS 8.
    2) Some OS 8 software will not work in OS 9. In particular, this includes some screensaver software such as After Dark. As Kenichi Watanabew pointed out, there is no native (built-in) screensaver software for OS 9 and earlier; all such is third-party software.
    <hr>
    There are some screensavers available which will work in OS 9; some are free, some are not. Here are some sources -
    Screen Gear - Screen Saver, Image Displayer
    MacScreenSavers.com - Free screen savers
    VersionTracker: Screen Savers
    Free Macintosh: Apple Screen Savers
    Pure Mac: Screen Savers
    Filedudes
    Tucows Macintosh
    Be sure to read the description of any of those you are interested in to be sure they will work in OS 9.
    Screensaver programs can be useful and even fun, but they are not necessary. In OS 9 you can use the Energy Saver control panel to auto-sleep the machine and monitor after a delay of your choosing. I set mine to sleep only the monitor, and not the machine - wakeup is near instantaneous.

  • I want to delete all firefox screen savers

    They are black and white no colours except the fox and I do not want aNY of them I have tried going to the folder - roaming mozilla firefox and deleting - but thaT DOES NOT WORK - i SET UP wINDOWS and they are what I want - windows themes are real pictures
    So how do I get rid of all firefox screen savers that I do not use or want -
    There are other browsers you know

    hello, firefox doesn't include any screensavers... from your system details it looks like there is quite a bunch of possibly unwanted adware programs present on your system. maybe one of them is causing those issues.
    please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • Screen Savers That Work While Listening To Music

    HI, i'm having a hard time find a simple "screenblanker"(mabye text or a clock) screensaver saver that I can have on while listening to music. My problem is all the apple original screen savers, they all turn off when I ajust my music volume! And i dont want this to happen  Anyluck?

    I have a very cool suggestion for you:
    1: Download the free SoundStream screeensaver and install it, set it as your screensaver.
    http://pcheese.net/software/soundstream/
    2: Next open AppleScript Editor and paste this script in:
    tell application "System Events"
        if process "ScreenSaverEngine" exists then
            tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
        else
            do shell script "System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
        end if
    end tell
    4: Now Save the script "DeskScreen" as a Application to your Utilities Folder and drag a alias to the Dock.
    5: Hide the Dock (optional)
    6; Play iTunes and enable the "DeskScreen" and enjoy, uses your microphone and the sound to create effects.
    7: To stop the effect, just click the "DeskScreen" icon in the Dock again and it turns off. You have full use of the computer too.
    8: Works with most screensavers. Eats CPU/GPU, so you might want to cut it off when your using the machine for heavy duty programs.
    Enjoy
    and a bonus....free 3D game...

  • Locating pictures used in Screen Saver (Previously loaded)

    I've noticed that the options for screen savers such as Beach, Cosmos, and Abstract are quite interesting and was wondering if it's possible to locate the folder where these images are stored. I would like to use them as a background if it's even possible to discover their location. Thanks.

    Hi there,
    this is an easy one
    Just go to "/System/Library/ScreenSavers/" and right click on one of the
    screen savers. You will see a contextual menu, showing an entry "Show contents".
    Select that and then in the open package go to "/Contents/Resources/" and you have
    access to all the pictures the screen saver uses.
    Kind regards,
