Screen saver doesn't work after updating to Yosemite

When the screen saver should come on the screen remains black.
The screen saver is set to turn on after 3 minutes; Energy Saver is set to turn the display off after 15 minutes.
When testing the screen saver from System Preferences, the screen saver works.
When trying to activate it with a hot corner or by leaving the computer inactive, it does not work/the screen remains black.
It does this no matter which screen saver is chosen.
Is there something I'm missing? Thank you for your help.

I updated two different Mac to "YO" last week and neither encountered an issue. Screen savers are unchanged. However, there are other reports here of screensaver issues. Some have turned out to be caused by unneeded third-party utilities. Are you running any anti-virus programs, or programs that claim to "clean, optimize, or tune up" you Mac?

  • VPN doesn't work after updating to Yosemite?

    I just updated to Yosemite, and have had a few issues. I had an issue with my Wi-Fi (I couldn't access any website), but resolved it after visiting an Apple help desk, but now my VPN gives me the same problem. I can connect to it, but I can't visit any websites with it on, what can I do? I've never had this problem before with Mavericks

    1.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.

  • Sound doesn't work after updating to Yosemite.

    iTunes, sound effects (swoosh when mail is sent), videos on internet...no sound at all since updating to Yosemite. I press the volume key and get the symbol of a speaker with a circle crossed out beneath it. Not over it, but beneath it. I went into system preferences and sound, but don't really understand what might need to be done there or even if that's where the problem is.

  • Screen Sharing doesn't work after updating to Remote Desktop 3.6.1

    Hi everyone!
    I hope others can help.  We just noticed this at two different schools today after upgrading to 3.6.1.  We upgraded Admin and Client Apple Remote Desktop to ARD 3.6.1 today and now we cannot share our screens with the clients.  It turns black, hangs, then returns the client to its original desktop. 
    We tried from a 3.5.1 admin machine, and it still works fine as it used to.
    We feel like the issue is 3.6.1, but cannot find any support for the issue online. 
    Other troubleshooting steps:
    1) emptied user and system Caches
    2) restarted all units
    3) tried 3.6.1 admin to 3.5.1 clients, no luck
    4) tried 3.6.1 admin to 3.6.1 clients, no luck
    5) checked for loops in the network, nothing.
    We can perform most other tasks like controlling the clients and copying files, but not screen sharing.
    Thank you for your help!

    All right!  Total workaround here, and no fix, but at least we're able to Screen Share in ARD now.  This is how we downgraded to 3.5.1 Admin in Apple Remote Desktop.  The only hiccup that may not work for most is that you must have an older Remote Desktop file on hand. (hopefully from a computer that was not upgraded which was our case).
    Here is what we did...
    1) Login as an admin.
    2) Throw out the Remote Desktop app (in Applications)
    3) From another computer, drag in an old Remote Desktop app into your Applications folder
    4) Throw out the "RemoteManagement" folder inside System/Library/CoreServices
    5) From support.apple.com/downloads, download Remote Desktop 3.5.1 (both the Client and Admin installers).
    6) Run the Admin install first, then the Client Install.
    I did the above steps in two schools in a different order, but I wrote it this way to make it more streamlined.  I never had to re-enter the Serial # or anything.  Once I did the steps above, it just worked again.
    Hope this helps you! 

  • Safari doesn't work after updated to Yosemite

    Hey everyone, I'm using MBA 2013 and just updated it to Yosemite a couple days ago. Then the safari performs quite wired, it works totally fine in other places but it just didn't work with my router. While my MBA can still use chrome and my iPhone works with the wifi. I tried reset my router, did the PRAM rest and also did some researches in this community but still haven't find any solution yet. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot.
    Nathan

    Safari has been horrible! I cannot believe it is 'Apple'. At first I thought it was my internet too, but ... it isn't. I've done some of the things suggested here (which I greatly appreciate!) but I'll do the additional ones I didn't already do.
    But, we shouldn't have to be doing all of this stuff to get the browser to work as expected. When I was using beta version, it (Safari) was much better! They need to fix/update this quickly. Meanwhile, if the all the fixes don't work ... will have to use Chrome.
    *Disappointed*.

  • Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

    Hi,
    After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
    I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
    Cheers,
    Herbie

  • Screen Saver Doesn't Work

    Hi -
    After upgrading to Leopard (from 10.4.11), the screen saver wouldn't work. When I go into System Preferences and select a screen saver, I get an alert that says:
    "Can't Load Screen Saver. Screen saver “(name)” did not load properly. Please select another screen saver. Error: Can’t load bundle."
    This happens for any of the screen savers I select. I'd appreciate any ideas as to how I can fix this. Thanks.
    Shelly

    There's another two files that we can try. I only gave you the simple top level plist file. There's two more if you were willing to give that a shot and see what happens.
    Lets do this: go under your main hard drive name/library/prefereneces/systemconfiguration
    We are going to trash 2 files. Leave them in the trash, but don't empty trash until after we have regenerated new ones to replace those.
    1. com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.......Please delete this 1st and then retry your screen saver.
    2. preferences.plist.......Please delete this if the top file did not work
    Next, setup your machine preferences including your screen savers. Check to make sure the files have been regen'd.
    Test the setup. I just re read your initial post and noted there was an error message with the bundle. I will bet that even after deleting those two files you will still have the same issue as it's not the plist files that are damaged but that the OS can't load the bundle for those screensavers due to file corruption. In that case, the only thing that will remedy that issue is reloading the bundle off the new Lep install disk.
    I also note that you have been having other issues as well. Leopard over Tiger is a nightmare Shelly. It really is. I could not boot and it took me two days of trouble shooting it down to driver level to find the issue and resolve it. I fixed it though and now I can boot up all the time without a kernel panic but, it does take way too much time away from just using the machine. That's the real issue-time. Good luck.

  • Scrubbing no longer works after updating to Yosemite

    After updating to Yosemite yesterday and restarting this morning, I've noticed several problems.  The biggest is that scrubbing in the timeline is very buggy, unresponsive, and sometimes doesn't work at all.  I've tried turning it off and on, restarting FCP and my mac to no avail.
    Also switching between tools via keyboard shortcuts and the playhead moving between edits have been sluggish as well.  Library is stored on a thunderbolt connected RAID
    FCP v 10.1.3    Yosemite v10.10   Mac Pro  Processor: 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5  Ram: 16GB   GPU:  AMD FirePro D500

    Permissions issues from the new account?
    My impression, from my own experience and paying attention to other users' issues, is that 10.1.3 running on 10.10 is generally the fastest, most stable combination since the application was first introduced. This weekend I did a full days work on a couple of unfamiliar systems, new iMacs with shared storage, over two dozen projects, and I encountered no glitches whatsoever.
    So that's why I was interested in your media drive and whether there might be something in your user account that the OS or FCP was struggling with.
    Here is a kind of check list that Richard Taylor compiled. Why not go through it to see whether you discover a remedy.

  • Netflix Streaming on MacMini does not work after update to Yosemite

    Netflix videos will no longer stream :
    I am using a MacMini (late 2012) with an HP w2207h display.  Intel processor 2.5 GHz Core !5  Intel  HD Graphics 4000 1024 MG  After updating to Yosemite, 10.10.1, I cannot stream videos from the Netflix site.
    All of the monitor specs. would indicate that streaming videos in HDCP would be possible.  Everything streamed very well until approximately 4 days ago.
    I have changed the display resolution to 1080p.  I have disconnected the monitor and reconnected it several times.  I have updated iTunes as well as Yosemite.

    Have you went to NetFlix's support site?
