Screen Saver error
I dont know whats going on with my computer. I click system preferences, then desktop&screensaver , click screensaver then it closes the window. I cant set my screensaver options. I tried restarting the computer but that did nothing. Does anyone have any similar issues? if so how did you resolve it?
Welcome to Discussions - what kind of computer do you have? How to identify your iMac.
Have you tried repairing Permissions? Go to Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility> select repair permissions and then try to set your screen saver options again.

i have HP 520-1010a and after 10mins my screen saver worked beautifully displaying all personal pics. However it has now stopped working and says there is an error.
Please helpHi,
Is there any reason to use screensaver on your machine ? All screens now are smart enough to go to sleep. Screensaver will not save screen, actually it will destroy screen quicker (buring out quicker), put a hole in your pocket (electricity bill) and also will destoy the earth.
Hope this makes sense.

Loaded files onto screen saver in error
Hello,
I was going to add photos to my screensaver. In error I attached all my files to it. The computer just keeps running and running and trying to load the photos in my screensaver. Any help is appreciated.
TomWas it an iPhoto slide show?
OS X: System Preferences stops responding after viewing Desktop & Screen Saver pane
Products Affected
OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion, iPhoto
Symptoms
System Preferences may stop responding if you select an iPhoto Event that is no longer available in iPhoto as the source for your desktop picture.
Resolution
1. Quit System Preferences if it's running. If System Preferences is running but not responding, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, or right-click its icon on the Dock and choose "Force Quit".
2. Open iPhoto.
3. Select Events in the Source list (on the left side of the iPhoto window).
4. Double-click on any of the events shown. Verify that the name or date of this event is now shown under RECENT in the Source list.
5. Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences.
6. Click Desktop & Screen Saver, click on Desktop, and verify that you can now select a new desktop picture.

Preferences error, could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane.
Preferences error, could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane.
Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these three files.
com.apple.screensaver.plist
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer. -
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.
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

[solved] startx results in black screen -- no errors logged
Hi there.
I was setting my keyboard to be us_intl (as described here).
I added the following to ~/.fluxbox/startup:
setxkbmap us -variant intl &
Worked fine... but what I was wanting a different mapping so I changed it back to just US. Now when I run startx, I just get a blank screen. I didn't change anything else in any config file between when now and when it was working and I have changed that line back to what it reads above. No dice.
I turned on logging with fluxbox and the log is not being written to, so something pretty strange has gone wrong.
I see no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but here it is:

A simpler way would be to start xterm for instance - in your ~/.xinitrc:
exec xterm
That way you can see if it's fluxbox that is causing the trouble. And by the way your ~/.fluxbox/startup should read this (assuming it's not a typo in the first line there):
#!/bin/sh
# Set background image.
feh --bg-scale '/home/brian/.fluxbox/wall.jpg'
# Start fluxbox
exec fluxbox -log "/home/brian/.fluxbox/current.log"
Also, once you know X works, you can then try just starting fluxbox "exec fluxbox", without the startfluxbox script. Comment out the conditional statement also. If that works, then it is either the startfluxbox or the conditional.
Edit: Looks like you got it fixed. congrats.

i had to take my photoshop file into a hardrive because my dad was going to give me a new Mac and when things didn't work out and went back to my old one i use the time capsule thing to save everything before but didn't give me photoshop so i physically moved the file and tried to open it but then this error shows up
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 16
and when i click the uninstall app on the file it tells me this
The alias “Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS6 2” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found

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 Saver "The selected folder contains no pictures"
Hello,
I recently had my HD replaced on my IBook after thermal damage took out the old one, and the good Apple Store folks recovered and replaces the date from the old fwinky drive.
However, tweaking the configuration back into place, I noticed that most of the "Slideshow" style screensavers are now broken, with the following as patt of the error message:
"The selected folder contains no pictures"
Where the HECK are the insalled screensaver images stored? I would bring them over from the G4 tower, if I knew where to find them... Is there a way to reconnect the screensavers to the images if they are still on the drive?
I was able to find the screensaver files in:
System/Library/Screen Savers ...
But no sign of any images. Clicking or opening the file just launches the "Desktop & Screen Saver" preferences panel.
Mildly Baffled.
KurtThat appears to work. The pictures are indeed actually there. It seems the slide show screensaver functionality is somehow damaged.
Testing the screensaver on a new folder with some of my one images in it only shows a black screen. The problem apparently lies elsewhere. -
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.
fleamarketladyHello 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?

Os x 10.8.3 freezes when changing screen saver
I recently installed 10.8.3. One of the glitches is that when I attempt to change the screen saver, my computer freezes. Is there a fix for this?
try this - not sure if it will work for you but it's worth a try.
open disk utility - verify your disk permissions - repair if errors are found then restart your macbook once the repairs are done.
see if that changes the way your macbook responds to changing your screen saver. -
I successfully downloaded a screensaver from http://www.climatecrisis.net/downloads/ After I double clicked on the file called AIT_mac, it installed and I received a a message saying that installation was successful and that the Screen Saver pane in System Prefs would now launch. When that launched, I got an error message saying that the file would not work and that I should contact the developer for a newer version. I believe that this occured because I am running a 15" MacBook Pro, and I got the same error message when I tried to install the Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin, which is not a UniBin. Does anyone have information on this?
Hi, macbookdemon.
1. re: Screen saver. If the screen saver is written exclusively for PowerPC-based Macs, it won't work on your MacBook Pro. The author will need to release a Universal Binary.
2. re: Flip4Mac: Unfortunately, the free Flip4Mac WMV player, which adds support for playing Windows Media files in QuickTime (except those protected with WMA-DRM), is not yet available in a Universal Binary that will work on your Intel-based Mac. They plan to release a Universal Binary at some point.
However, I've read here that Popwire WMV-9 Component can play Windows Media files under QuickTime. I've not tried it, but you may want to give it a whirl.
Good luck!

Screen saver can't be disabled; starts when it feels like it
I have a weird problem with my screen saver. I had to shut down my Mac mini (G4, 1.42GHz) manually via the power button a few days ago, and ever since then, the system refuses to obey the "Start screen saver:" time delay preference in System Preferences. I'd always had it set to "Never", but now it always starts after the standard time interval. I've since discovered that even if I set it to 3 minutes, it still waits a half hour or so to start (I'm assuming it's the default delay).
I've checked for corrupt preferences in my home and main Library directories files using plutil, but they're all good; I booted with the restore disc to repair any startup disk HDD errors in Disk Utility (there were some errors, in what files and of what vintage I know not, but I was able to fully repair the disk and now no problems are reported); I've even trashed and re-set my screen saver .plist file (~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.SOMEHASH.plist) a few times. From the looks of things, the Screen Saver preferences pane is recording the correct idle time and screen saver in the .plist file, it's just not honoring the idle time. It does, however, allow me to change the screen saver itself. I don't have any screen savers installed that didn't come with the system -- I've been alternating between the iTunes and RSS ones since I can't choose 'None'.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I can't emphasize enough how much I hate screen savers (no offense to the programmers, they're just not my thing!). It's especially frustrating that I have to leave the computer sit for a half hour just to test any possible solution...So after some time it stopped doing it. Then it started again. I still don't know what the issue is, but I do know what causes it.
When I plug in an external monitor to the DVI port, the sreensaver disregards any mouse movements on the the extended display, and goes into screensaver mode. If I disconnect the monitor the computer continues to act as it does when the monitor is plugged in. What I've done to remedy this is use the laptop in clamshell mode, disable the screensaver, then disconnect the monitor.
This seems to remedy the problem. Hope this helps anybody else with similar issues.
PS External is Samsung 930b 19" (for what its worth)
Thanks for your help. -
Why does my screen saver say "no photos" when they are definately there?
I just downloaded the latest OS update and my screen saver no longer works. When i go into system preferences and set up the folder to use for the picture slide show--it gives me an error that there are "no photos". But I have triple-checked and the photos are in fact there. Why doesnt screen saver see them??
UPDATE: I spoke with Apple and there is NO fix. I've set up my photos in a hierarchy as follows
Pictures FolderSlide Show Pictures Folder
Sub folder jpegs
Sub folder with jpegs
sub-folder with jpegs
Everytime i have a new batch of photos worthy of the slide show--i add a new sub-folder. This worked perfectly fine with the old OS but does not work with Mountain Lion. According to the Apple support tech i spoke with, Mountain Lion does not support going into that level of sub-folder. Essentially it is seeing the "Slide Show Pictures folder" but all it sees are the next level of sub-fodlers themselves--it cant go into the next level to see the actual photos. Sounds pretty stupid if you ask me
