Screen saver slide show keeps reverting to National Geographic photos?

Hi all - quick question about a minor annoyance.  I have the screen saver set to display photos from one of my iPhoto photo sets using the built in screen saver options.  For no apparent reason, it occasionally decides to stop displaying my photos and instead starts displaying the National Geographic photos instead, which is one of the options in the screen saver setup.  I can go to settings and change it back to my photos but it always seems to eventually go back.  I can't find any rhyme, reason or pattern to this happening - if its something that I am doing, I've got no idea what it could be.
Anyone have any idea how I might be accidentally causing this, or is this some sort of bug?  Any way to prevent it from happening?  Any help appreciated.  Not sure but I am pretty sure this did not happen before Yosemite.

    I have a MacBook Pro running mac osx 10.8, Screen saver keeps reverting to national geographic photos.

    Just found this solution on another website. I tried it and it works. No more polar bears and Savannahs!
    Apparently if you put it in the folder called "Desktop Pictures" it will work.
    So, copy whatever folder of pictures you would like to use as your screensaver and then go to:
    Macintosh HD>Library > Desktop Pictures
    Paste your folder into this folder called "Desktop Pictures".
    You may have to enter the administrator code (the password you use to open your mac usually).
    Then, go back to System Preferences, go to Desktop and Screensaver, click on the Screensaver tab on the top, go to the drop down menu beside "Source" (under the picture) and click on "Choose Folder". Navigate to the Macintosh HD>Library>Desktop Pictures and then click on the folder you just pasted in there. Click "Choose" and you're all set.

  • HT202731 My screen saver keeps reverting to National Geographic at random...I chose iPhotos.

    How can I have iPhotos permanently as my screen saver when it randomly reverts to National Geographic?

    Another workaround is to delete the pictures in the National Geographic folder and add your picture there. Hard drive level Library/ScreenSavers.

  • HT204379 Choose how long each screen saver slide shows for?

    There used to be an option to choose how many seconds each "slide" would show in Screen Saver. I don't see that option in Mountain Lion, only how many minutes until Screen Saver comes on. Is there still any way to do that?  My slides change more quickly than I want them to...

    Thank you for the advice, but I think you misunderstood what I am trying to do.  I know about Home Sharing and have set this up along with many of my photo albums.  I can access them when my Apple TV is on.
    I am trying to customize the screen saver for the Apple TV.  When I go into settings - Screen Saver, I get a list including National Geographic, Flowers, etc. and also My ICloud.  I choose My ICloud and it gives me two Options - Photo Streaming (which contains pictures taken in the last 30 days) and a second Option - Activity.  I am guessing this would allow me to use specific photos.   But it says "This album is empty."  I would like to use about 30 - 40 photos as my screen saver but have no idea how to get them into that Activity album.
    I created an Activity Album in IPhoto, filled it with the photos I want to use, then tried to share it to ICloud.  The color wheel stays on for awhile which I thought  was indicating the transfer.  But I go back to Apple TV, turn it on, go to Settings - Screen Saver but it still shows Activity is empty.

  • IPhoto screen-saver Slide show, where is it?

    I'm looking for pictures that show in the Screen saver slide show but not in iPhoto or Aperture folders.
    They were there last week.
    Hoping for help!

    I had a quick scan of those comments, and most of those are from more than 18 months ago. The comments from this year are either: factually wrong ("very few slideshow designs" - it has 35 or thereabouts) or complaints about the Upgrade policy.
    There is no substitute for downloading and trying it yourself.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • When I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

    when I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

    Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
    Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.

  • E72 Screen Saver Slide Show Issues

    I have my e72 setup to run a slideshow when it goes into power save mode...
    It works fine but after awhile, it goes from slide show mode into displaying a "clock".
    I would think it would just repeat the slide show over and over?
    What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    There is a max of x (1?) minutes for the power saver.
    ‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

  • Screen Saver continues to revert to National Geographic

    Since upgrading to Yosemite my screen saver continues to revert to National Geographic. I set it for an iPhoto file; it uses the iPhoto file for a short while and then reverts to National Geographic.
    Dumped the relevant .plist files; removed all files with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". This did not help.

    Screen Saver finds errors in Permissions when attempting to open the selected file, then reverts to National Geographic by default.  If your selected folder is in iPhoto, just repairing the Permissions in the iPhoto application is insufficient for a lasting result.  You must repair the Permissions of EVERY folder on your computer by using the following approach:
    Finder / Control-Click on the “home” folder (the one with the picture of the house) / Get Info / Open the bottom right Lock / Click the cogwheel at the bottom of the screen / Select the appropriate action (it takes a few minutes to reset all permissions for every folder).  This will all save and lock back up just by exiting.

  • My screen saver is showing internet radio....

    My screen saver is showing internet radio instead of pictures after the update. How do i turn it off? I have went thru every menu and have all the settings the way they have been Prior to the latest update. now the screen saver is always Internet radio instead of the normal screen saver.  Apple please Fix this annoyance....

    If you are confident you have the screen saver set properly, try restarting the device.

  • Yosemite screensaver reverts to National Geographic folder

    Prefer to use my own photos folder created specifically to store pix I want to view when screensaver runs... as I have for decades. In OS X Yosemite 10.10.x, no matter what photo folder I choose, anywhere on my Mac, screensaver reverts to National-Geographic-only option... no matter how often I choose anything else. Fix? Suggestions? Alternate screensaver program I can download to view my own photo folder???? Unless/until Apple fixes this, (apparently this isn't just me as daughter has same issue on her Mac as do others I know using Mac OS X 10.10.x), I'm perfectly happy to download a different screensaver app if there is currently no fix for the system app... I just want to see the pix I choose, no matter how gorgeous the National Geographic pix are there are a limited number of them and I get bored quickly.

    I have the same problem.
    I have deleted the National Geographic screen saver file in the past; however, this never solves the issue either.
    I REALLY dislike the National Geographic Mac OS Screensaver file.  Why oh why Yosemite have you done this.  We spend so much time curating our iPhotos we should be able to enjoy them as a Screen Saver!

  • Screen Saver keeps defaulting to National Geographic no matter what I set it to.

    I have repeatedly set my screen saver preference to Photo Library, but the computer keeps resetting it to National Geographic.  I have tried setting the screen saver to other settings, such as Aerial or Cosmos, just to see what happens, and it always goes back to National Geographic.
    Help! Is this just a glitch? Or am I missing something...?
    I am starting to hate National Geographic.

    Issue for many.  Look through this forum for the discussions.
