Screen Saver on Stations' Logon Screen

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to deactivate the screen saver that comes up on the stations' logon screens when it is left idle for 30seconds?
Thank you.

Hi Jason
I know ScreenSaver takes over both displays!
A cool trick even better than ScreenSaver is to use iPhoto and build some slideshows with or without iTunes tracks, then play them on one display while working in the other!

  • I was changing my desktop screen saver in system preferences screen protection.  Now it says it is "Loading Images" and won't stop.  The Colourful wheel goes around for ever and It does not stop. Can anyone help me?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
    First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
    If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart

    I have a group of my images that rotate, and yes it happens oneach. I do believethat I have at one time had the images cover the entire screen, however I cannor remember how I made that happen, just like the desktop. I am sure it is old'ites setting in!

  • Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen?

    Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen? In researching screensavers the other day, I read an article saying that moving images were no longer necessary since that was important for cathode monitors and LEDs have no such problems but the iMacs are LCD. Do LCD get "Burn in"?
    I need to know as I am making wallpaper and screensvers for the company I work at.

    LCD's normally are not affected by any burn in, just use the computer. It's a wise idea to put the display to sleep when it's not in use.  You can set the setting in System Preferences - Energy Saver. I set my display to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used and it goes black, I've done this for 8+ years and have never had any display issues.

  • Screen saver just has black screen won't use my photos

    I set up a screen saver through mountain lion using photos from iphoto 08.  It worked fine for a couple of days, now my screen just goes black for the screen saver.  I tried movin the photos to a different folder in Finder, and it still does not work.

    Take it in to Apple or an authorized repair service. If it is only 5 months old, it's still under warranty.

    Hi iuseo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Mac wont wake from sleep while it is in "clamshell" mode or an external display is connected, start with resetting the system as mentioned in our video troubleshooting article:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

    How are you trying to add wallpaper? What message do you get when you tried?

  • 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.

    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.

  • How to display a specific SAP logon screen per system?

    Hello,
    I woud like to display a logon screen which contains system-specific information, e.g. for the QAS system it would be something like "This system was created by a system copy from PRD on MM/DD/YYYY"...
    I have gone through the SAP Note 205487 and my understanding is that I have to create the ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO in the development (changeable) system and transport it.
    Note 205487 : "Creating/changing this text requires a changeable system. Therefore, for production systems, SAP recommends maintaining the text in the upstream system and then transporting it."
    Can anyone please provide me with some hints on how to create a different logon screen for each system and apply them via transport requests?
    I prefer not to "open" the QAS system in order to create the logon screen because I would then have to "open" the productive system to create a different logon screen...
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Michel M.

    Hi Michel,
    Please refer to below documents for modifying SAP Logon screen and transporting to other system.

  • Bypass Logon screen of the SAP R/3 system where WDA application resides

    Hi,
    I created an application in WDA. I have another appplication in WDJ. On one of the views of WDJ application, I created a link to URL UI elem and provided WDA application's URL to it as a reference. When I click on the link to URL,  I expect that WDA should launch. But instead a logon screen appears. This logon screen is the logon screen of the SAP R/3 server in which I created the WDA application.
    I want to bypass this logon screen. how do i do this ?
    Regards
    seventyros

    For that you need to establish the SSO between the R/3 system and the JAVA system.
    you can import the sso ticket form key store and then put it in abap stack..
    or one more method is to give hardcoded user id and password in SICF for the web dynpro application.
    however this approach is not recommended.
    thanks

  • Screen saver on Intel Mac

    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!

  • Display won't go to sleep / screen saver won't turn on

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard instead of the screen saver activating or the screen going to sleep when inactive, the screen goes dark for about a second and then flashes back on. It's resulted in images being burned into my screen a couple of times now.
    If I manually activate the screen saver then the screen saver stays active and after a minute the display goes to sleep. Also, if I'm using Front Row the screen will go to sleep without a problem. I've tried turning off all apps to test it if one of them is preventing it, and and it still happens.
    Anyone else have this happening?

    The screensaver preference file is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.xxxxxxx.plist, where xxxxxxx is a UID for your machine. By moving this file out of the folder, your screensaver settings will be reset to the defaults.
    The power settings are stored in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.
    If your new user does not have the problem, then the preference problem may be in your ~/Library/Preferences folder.

  • Screen saver won't go on, laptop won't sleep!

    I've got a 17" laptop running 10.3.9. Everything used to be fine. Recently (after the latest Apple update? I'm not sure) I found that the laptop won't go to sleep. It's plugged in on my desk, and I've got the Energy Saver preference panel (set to "power adapter") set to put the screen to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity, and the computer to sleep after 1 hour of inactivity. I've got the "Desktop & Screen Saver" panel to start screen saver after 5 minutes. And, when I leave it alone overnight, I come back in the morning and the machine is on, screen saver never kicked in. 1) Is this a problem - is there burn-in or anything like that LCDs? and 2) what's going on? I tried rebooting etc. Could I have some process running which prevents sleep? How do I debug this? I need it to start screen saver (and require login!) when I walk away.

    To Apple Discussions!
    Trash the com.apple.desktop.plist file.
    Home>Library>Preferences>com.apple.desktop.plist
    Or locate using Spotlight & delete from same.
    Update to OS 10.5.4
    Repair permissions & restart your comp.
    Please post back the results. If the above does not work, then I suggest that you cross-post over in the Using Mac OS X Leopard Forums especially if no one else chimes in here.

  • Password prompt after screen saver or lock screen

    I am running Yosemite on two Macs – an early-2008 MBP 15" and a mid-2010 MBP 13". Both are configured for password after screen saver or when waking up. I have hot corners configured to enable screen saver (lower left), lock screen (upper right), disable screen saver (lower right). On awakening from either screen saver or lock screen, the 15" requests the password in a screen similar to the login after boot or switch user screen – the fullscreen, blurry background, prompt in the center. The 13" prompts for a password in an ordinary modal dialogue window that includes a lock icon and displays on a black background. The 13" has an external monitor attached, but the behavior is the same if it's disconnected. Both systems have one user, and identical settings in Users and Groups. The behavior is the same whether the Guest user is enabled or disabled.
    I can't find any settings to account for the difference, even obscure ones shown in Onyx. Any ideas as to why the password prompt is handled differently in these two cases? Thanks in advance...
