Screen saver ends unexpected

Hi, I'm new here
My Screen saver ends unexpected when the tunes are on, wake for network access is off

You may have a defective mouse that needs to be replaced, but it is absolutely impossible to diagnose a hardware problem via an internet forum based on such vague information. You should take your computer system and your USB mouse to a professional
computer repair shop to have your problem diagnosed.

Screen Saver when calling and need to use the Keypad, the screen saver doesn't detect the phone has left the ear and blanks out the screen. Even ending a call is difficult as the screen blanks out within seconds

I have to use the Keypad a lot when making calls. Make the call, the Robot then asks to enter a number for a service, pull the phone down from the ear, the screen may light up for a second, but then the screen saver cuts in, blanking the screen out. Sometimes you hit the Home Key to awaken the sccreen, enter your number and then back to the ear to hear the next set of instructions. Back and forth just trying to enter the options is a pain. Sometimes even trying to end the call, the screen blanks out and you fight to try and end a call.
If I use the Speaker function the keypad works; the speakler phone is not alway appropriate.
It appears that the phone gyro, doesn't detect the phone has moved from the ear to the viewing angle. This wasn't an issue until recently and I can't remeber if it's the iPhone 5 or one of the updates. It definitly wasn't there earlier on, as I threw away an Windows 6.5 phone for the same problem.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software (design) issue.

It is not the gyro. This has everything to do with the iPhone's prioximity sensor.
Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor? If you are using the case, remove the case prior to the next call to see if the same occurs without the case.

Unexpected behaviour with "require password" and screen saver

In 10.6.x, I checked "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" and after the invoking the screen saver (via a hot corner) moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard brought up a password dialog.
In Lion, this is what happens with the same settings:

That got posted somehow before I finished. Here is what happens:
The log in screen is displayed.
I select an account and log in.
The log in screen is displayed again.
I am logged in, but have obviously been logged out in the meantime.
This looks like a bug to me.

Screen saver keeps ending.

I'm using Hot Corners to activate my screen saver. Every time I do this 10 seconds or so later it goes back to the desk top on its own, what's up?

Check to see if it's your mouse. There may be some slight vibration causing your mouse to register movement. Move to your hot corner and once your screensaver comes on, unplug your mouse. Be careful not to move the mouse while doing this.
If the screensaver still deactivates then there may be some process that's running which disables your screensaver. If that's the case, take a peek at your Login Items in your Account settings under System Preferences.

How do I use a font that a user of my screen saver might not have?

I am trying to do a little experiment with fonts. I downloaded a font that was not previously installed on my computer, and am trying to make a "Hello, World!" screen saver with that font(which I installed).
The problem is that I can not even use that font. When I attempt to make a "Hello, World!" screen saver with that font, it uses the default font. Here's the code:
#import "saverView.h"
@implementation saverView
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame isPreview:(BOOL)isPreview
self = [super initWithFrame:frame isPreview:isPreview];
if (self) {
[self setAnimationTimeInterval:1/30.0];
//either my mistake is here:
hylianFont = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Ancient Hylian - English" size:20];
attrs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:2];
//NSForegroundColorAttributeName -- [Color green]
[attrs setValue:[NSColor greenColor] forKey: NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
// or it is here:
[attrs setValue:hylianFont forKey: NSFontAttributeName];
displayer = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Hello, World!" attributes:attrs];
return self;
//... more stuff I do not use...
//simply draws "Hello, World!" in green at the top right of the screen.
//meant to draw it in the different font, but draws it in the standard font.
- (void)animateOneFrame
[displayer drawInRect:[self bounds]];
return;
@end
Where did I mistype?

I think I solved the problem. I just put the font and the screen saver in a pkg file, and make the pkg file install the font. Or I guess I could keep the font in my screen saver and test it that way. Either way, I found the answer.

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.

ITunes Artwork Screen Saver Not Working. Empty black screen. Garbage collection, memory leak issue? ... malloc: auto malloc[]: attempted to remove unregistered weak referrer 0x ...

Hey Smart Apples,
My iTunes Artwork screen saver is not working. After reboot, then selecting iTunes Artwork in System Preferences, just a black screen appears in the preview, as well as when pressing Test, and when allowing the screen saver to start on it's own. The error message in Console says...
11-10-13 2:13:18.304 AM [0x0-0x4f04f].com.apple.systempreferences: System Preferences(540,0x7fff77286960) malloc: auto malloc[540]: attempted to remove unregistered weak referrer 0x102021a10

The memory address location at the end of each line is different everytime I preview the screen saver.
I've tried...
    deleting ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.* files
    making sure each album has a cover in iTunes
    running Get Album Artwork in iTunes
    recreating symbolic link ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music -> ~/Public/iTunes Music/
... but doesn't help.
All other screen savers work... my usual is Flurry, and it works too, but gives invalid framebuffer operation under Console.
Nothing running/checked under Sharing.

Does anyone have a solution?
Environment: Mac OS X (10.7.2), Macbook Pro (late 2008)

So it turned out that the cause of the problem wasn't as complicated as I thought...
I had a few songs that were not added to the iTunes library, instead referenced from other locations on my hard drive.
Specifically, if you bring up the Get Info window of a song, under Summary > Where, it may show a different path than your usual iTunes Media folder location, set under Preferences.
E.g. Where: ~/Desktop/downloaded_song.mp3
I guess, this happens when you drag a song into your iTunes instead of adding it to the library, and apparently, causes problems with the Artwork Screen Saver.
Solution:
To correct it,
For those songs, go to File > Add to Library...
Then find and select the song file.
That's all I had to do to get the screen saver working... All your songs have to be added to your iTunes Library.
I think my brother was messing around with my playlist... I hope Apple nails a better way to lock-unlock/secure OS X soon (proximity sensor, biometric 3D face recognition, unique voice recognition, soul recognition, etc.).
That malloc error message still shows up; that must be an unrelated issue with the screen saver.
I hope this helps out all those suffering through the same issue with their iTunes Artwork Screen Saver.

Screen goes black when coming out of screen saver. HP Pavilion,p7-1414 desktop, windows 8

the monitor shows the windows 8 screen with the apps, then the screen saver will come on. Then when I try to bring it out of the screen saver mode the screen goes black and nothing I do will get it to go back to the windows 8 screen. Then the mouse pointer will disappear. So I end up having to shut down the computer using the power button. If I have the screen set up for the old style windows 7 and it goes into the screen saver and I bring it back there's no problem.
fleamarketlady

Hello fleamarketlady,
Your computer goes black when it comes out of sleep mode some times.
Make sure that you are only using one cable to connect the monitor to the computer.
Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
Here is a link to command prompt.
When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
If you are still having the problem you can perform a system refresh.
This will uninstall windows 8 and reinstall it without affecting your personal information.
Here is a link that will walk you through the steps for a refresh.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Not letting me change my screen saver

Every time I open up system preferences and click on "Desktop & Screen Saver" and then click on the "Screen Saver" tab... the system pref. freezes and closes unexpectedly
It lets me change my background but whenever i try to change my screen saver it keeps "Quitting unexpectedly"
then it gives me the option to reopen system pref., report the message to apple (which i have done) or close it... then when I click reopen, i click again on desktop and screen saver and it freezes again and another error message opens up and says
the application system preferences quit unexpectedly after it was reopened... and i have a new set of options
Close, Try Again, or Report
So i click try again and it does actually let me access the screen saver tab... and i change it from what it is now which is the iTunes artwork
and when i click close or quit system pref. another window pops up that says...
New settings have been created for this application.. do you wish to use these settings from now on? and so i click "Use New Settings" rather than "Use original settings"
but then when i start my screensaver... it STILL is my original screen saver that i had before...
so WHY won't it let me change it
I have a MacBook Pro 15" glossy, 160 GB 2.4GHZ
i bought it in July so its still brand new so what is the problem?
Help would be MUCH appreciated

***** in my album cover screen saver

In the last week or so when my cover art screen saver is active there have been ***** photos appearing along with the cover photos. Not always but about every 10 minutes another **** shot appears.
Anyone know how I can view the folder of cover art and delete the ****? I'm not against **** per se I't just that it offends my wife and she thinks that somehow I must be responsible for it.
Anyone else getting **** when they get cover art from itunes? I've never gotten cover art anyplace but the itunes "get cover art" feature so I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else and how i can get at those photos to delete them. I've looked in the music/itunes/album artwork folder and all that's there are files that end with an .itc extension. Thanks for any help!

Hey Frank,
Just a question of curiosity, was your album artwork correct and normal before, and suddenly became full of pørn? Or what?
LOL, that's a strange thing that happened, are you sure you didn't use iTunes' album artwork settings to hide some pørn? haha!

Error message in System Prefs Screen Saver/Desktop

: When I try to open Screen Saver or Desktop Prefs, I get "There was a problem connecting to the server 'iDisk.mac.com'". I have a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. How can I change the prefs, and stop getting the annoying message that again pops up as soon as I click "OK"?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
grep -R idisk ~/L*/Preferences
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.

PowerMac G5 hangs after going into screen saver power save mode

I have a PowerMac G5 and it's been working fine, but as of late has been hanging. I had a couple of external disks on the machine ( Maxtor OneTouch II and a OneTouch III). I recently added two more OneTouch III and stripped the three OneTouch III's together in a RAID set. I'm wondering if that is causing the hangs, but I've also seen it hang without the RAID so I'm not convinced it's the RAID.
Anyway, I can't figure out what's causing it to hang, but it seems to hang at some point after the screen saver runs and then the screen goes into power saver mode. It's not hung right when it shuts down the monitor, but at some point after that.
When it gets in this mode, I can't remotely login using ssh and I can't seem to wake it up. What I end up having to do is to hold the power button down for several seconds until the machine powers off.
In an attempt to see what's going on, I set the OS X monitor power save mode to "never", but I don't think I left it that way long enough and I never saw it hang.
Does anyone have any debugging tips that would help me identify the culprit?

I've been having the same troubles lately. Seem
since the JAVA update. It hangs completely after the
screen is shut down. Every morning I have to reboot
with the power button.
I am also joining the crowd with this issue. I have a 15" Powerbook G4 that has acted normally until recently. Not sure exactly when it started, but about the same time as the recent updates. Similar behavior to the previous forum posts.
When I manually put the laptop to sleep it freezes up before it sleeps and the multi-language reboot warning comes up. This also happens if it is set to auto-sleep after xx minutes.
When I try to wake it up, the screen is black and the power light shows it is on and it never unfreezes or I get the reboot message.
I have tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this. I just re-installed the 10.4.8 update over the exisiting one (using an external boot drive made with SuperDuper) and it still happens... BUT when I put the laptop to sleep with the startup drive being external, it seemed to behave properly. I can't figure this out since the external clone was made only minutes earlier from the laptop... and it works. I have zapped PRAM, and done the battery removal / power button reset.
Below is the "report" I have been getting - and sending to Apple. They must be getting tired of the many I have sent.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks.

Scroll Bar missing on Safari web pages and unfamiliar screen saver image

I recently upgraded my OS X from Panther to Tiger v. 10.4.11 and upgraded to Safari 3.1.2. Now the scroll bar down the right side is missing from the open web page in Safari. Where did it go and how do I get it back?
Also, unfamiliar images appear, something like a screen saver when I leave my computer for a
few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down. It's a black/white/gray portrait of
a woman and as the picture moves around the screen, the image magnifies. I have no idea
where this image came from nor how to get rid of it. Any ideas?

Hi Busy1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Might try this for Scroll Bars...
http://lifehacker.com/5040043/add-double-scroll-arrows-to-both-ends-of-the-scrol l-bar
when I leave my computer for a
few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down...
Check System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen saver Tab for that.

Blank photos in screen saver

All,
I've been battling this problem for several versions of Mac OS X, Aperture and iPhoto.
No matter which screen saver I use, if I display photos from my Aperture or iPhoto library, many of the pictures do not display. I see blank spaces where there should be photos, like this:
Notice the big black spots? Those are "photos."
I've done all the troubleshooting I can, but cannot find any pattern for photos which do or don't display. No difference in file format, ACLs, extended attributes, folder permissions, RGB profiles... nothing is consistent.
What I do find, however, is a log that fills up with these messages when the screen saver engine starts up (even if only in System Preferences):
2/1/15 5:26:46.618 PM System Preferences[1577]: Slide provider has no slide player nor layer at the end of prerender
Occasionally, this:
2/1/15 5:26:55.079 PM System Preferences[1577]: Slide was unloaded although expected
but mostly the former.
Rebuilding the library hasn't done anything. No sense in suggesting that I use Disk Utility to repair permissions, either. (Remember, that doesn't affect anything in home folders.) I even tried deleting the prefs file for the screen saver engine. No dice.
Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks,
Bill

This sounds like a problem with the Sharing in the iPhoto Library.
Can you access the Library in other apps? For instance, in the Open Dialogue:

Screen Saver crashing my Java Web Start app

I've written a Java Web Start time tracker application that all employees run from the time they start work until they leave at the end of the day. The only problem is that there are a couple of people who from time to time find that the application has crashed when they unlock their Windows screen saver. The application window continues to show the screen saver image and the title bar says "Not Responding". In an attempt to get some clues, I had one person keep the java console running - but nothing new appears in the console.
I've personally tried crashing the app by using screen savers, but I cannot duplicate the problem. I've also tried letting my computer go into standby mode and I've let it hibernate. But every time, the application continues running as soon as I log back in.
Any ideas as to why the screen saver could trigger a problem like this for some users?

>
I've written a Java Web Start ... . The only problem is that there are a couple of people who from time to time find that the application has crashed when they unlock their Windows screen saver. >What screensaver(s)? Some important distinctions might be
- Windows standard savers (the savers supplied with the OS, if so, do they all use Open-GL or all use...?)
- Windows compatible, 3rd party savers.
- Saverbeans screensavers (Java based). E.G. <https://screensavers.dev.java.net/>
