 Screen Saver Stuck On One Minute
Set Screen Saver to come on in one minute. Set Screen Saver to come on in 5 minutes. Will not accept any new timer settings and is stuck on one minute. What is this nonsense?

  • Screen Saver stuck at 3 Minutes and spinning ball / Force Quit !

    I am try to change my screen saver which is set at 3 minutes , when I open Desktop and Screens Saver, the spinning balls comes ( forever ) and I must force quit. I cannot change the setting, I looked up past problems of the same nature and found " Old Toad " giving advice for this problem, when I found the "By Host" folder I could not find the exact com.apple.screensaver.xxxxxxxxplist ( or something close to that ) that I should delete and then reopen my System Pref. I found others close to that , but that exact one, Any Help ? Thanks

    I Think I found the answer, I found some com.apple.screensaver in the " ByHost" folder and dragged each one in and out until I found which one was causing the spinning ball problem, presently I have it in the Trash, but not sure if it's ok to delete form Trash, it must have been in the " BY Host " folder for some reason to begin with ? Thanks

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Yoga Pro 2 screen shuts off after one minute of inactivity

    I have configured the Power options so that the screen shouldn't dim on either battery or power cord and the laptop shouldn't sleep. I don't have a screen saver on. I even removed the "Energy Manager" bundled app hoping that might work. Hugely annoying. Any advice appreciated!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver).  Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver).
    BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time.

  • Screen saver less than 3 minutes

    Hello all. Quick question here. Can you set a screensaver to start after one minute? on the prefs pane, 3 minutes is the lowest it will let me set it.
    Also, are screen savers necessary anymore? I have a MBP and don't know if screens such as this can suffer from image burn in. thanks
    Brett

    Paste this command in Terminal:
    sudo defaults -currentHost writecom.apple.screensaver idleTime 60
    Modern screens do not need a screensaver, it's just for nice entertainment. They do however dim with age at a proportional rate called half-life. This is why you should dim or sleep your screen when not using it.

  • Reinstalling 10.5.6 has been stuck with one minute left.

    Trying to reinstall and for 20 minutes has said one minute remaining.
    Should I quit and try again, or will it eventually finish?
    What to do?
    Thnx.

    Try using a   <a href=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583>Target Disk Mode</a> to reinstall Leopard.  Which disc are you using for the install?  Is it a retail (black disc) or an install disc that came with the machine you are trying to install it on?

  • My monitor switches to screen saver after a few minutes when I am watching a program.  How do I keep it from not doing that?

    How do I keep my monitor from switching to screensaver when I am watching a program?

    Set the screen saver settings, you can control when it starts. You can temporarily set the screen save to "Never" if you are watching a movie or some other long program.

  • My iPad screen is stuck in one position, does not rotate.

    My iPad 3 screen does not rotate when I rotate my iPad.  It is locked in one position, upside down.

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • New Retina Macbook Pro running mavericks gets stuck at one minute during setup when coping files via USB

    Running setup on a late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro for the first time process gets stuck saying "Less then a minute remaining". Transfer is via USB from a clone of my drive on an external drive that is bootable from my 2007 Macbook Pro running 10.68. Have run disk utility on drive and fixed premissions in advance of running set up. Have had the same happen when I activate the new Retina Macbook Pro without running setup and then running Migration ***'nt later.

  • My camera disappeared from my iPhone screen suddenly.  there one minute, gone the next.  pictures are still there, can seem them in memory. icon lost.  any thoughts?  Dan

    My camera icon has disappeared from my iPhone.  pictures and videos seem to be in memory, but the icon is gone and I cannot work out how to get it back!  turned phone off, did not bring it back.  was working earlier today.  Thoughts?  Dan

    Go to the Search screen an enter "camera". If the app appears then you have simply misplaced the icon. Look at all of your folders and pages of your Home screen, or, as a last resort, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset home screen layout.
    If the app does not appear that function has been blocked. Go to Settings/General/Restrictions. If it is enabled you will have to enter your Restrictions passcode.
    If it is not blocked in Restrictions and you have a Corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone your IT department may have blocked the camera. If this is the case there is nothing you can do about it other than deleting the Exchange account and the associated security profile (in Settings).

  • Power went out in the middle of my update. Now it is stuck at one minute

  • Screen saver and screen sleep not working consistently

    Recently with one of the most recent updates my screen saver and screen sleep stopped activating when they should.  Sometimes I leave the room and come back an hour later only to find my screen is on and no screen saver.  I have screen saver set for 5 minutes and screen sleep set for 10 minutes (regardless of battery or plugged in state).  I have tried changing them and reserving to no avail.  Any way to fix this?
    Thanks.

    When was the last time you restarted your computer or even repaired permissions?
    Try trashing the ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systempreferences.plist file and restarting the computer.

  • IMac to Apple TV 2nd gen music distortion with screen saver on.

    I have an ATV2, mid 2010 iMac dual core i3, Airport Extreme 3rd generation router.
    After Wednesday's update to Apple TV to implement the new user interface, I get distorted playback when initiating music playback from iTunes on the iMac as soon as the screen saver starts.  It sounds like the old vinyl records when the needle skips. It isn't, oddly enough, timed with the screen changes. It occurs at ever increasing frequency, from 24 to 19 to 16 seconds.
    If however, you access the iMac through the Apple TV interface, the screen saver start up does not create any interference. It doesn't matter whether the music is started using the Apple remote control or the iPhone 4S interface. Both work fine. 
    So it's a one way situation. When you start playing music from iTunes on the iMac, interference and distortion start with the screen saver, but if you start playing music from the Apple TV, there is no distortion or interference from the screen saver.
    Any one else have this problem and a solution?

    Based on an Apple Care suggestion, the solution to this problem is to reset the Apple TV completely.  This is under Settings- General- Reset-Restore.
    Restore will erase previous versions of the Apple TV software and will download and install a current clean version.  You do have to re-enter all your configuration settings, such as wireless network password and your iTunes Account.
    A little bit time consuming but it eliminated the problem.

  • Screen Saver of itunes album covers.. choosing album covers from playlist??

    Is it possible to have a screen saver, like the one in preferences which combines all your album covers from itunes, but instead choosing the album covers from a playlist?

    I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a few questions.
    How would the screen saver know which playlist to display album covers from? If it is selecting covers from all of your playlists, how is it different from a screen saver which shows you all of your album covers?

  • Disable screen saver - Mac mini with OS X version 10.6.4

    I am trying to disable the screen saver on a Mac Mini with Mac OS X version 10.6.4.
    I have tried to disable it from System Preferences setting it to "never" and I have tried as well using the "defaults" command to set the idleTime in com.apple.screensaver to 0. Unfortunately, the screen saver starts after 20 minutes.
    I have checked and there is no process with a name similar to screen saver.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Antonio

      Hi dkaramit,
      Thank you for your answer. The energy settings are set to never. I checked it as well with pmset -g. In addition, the screen saver in the com.apple.screensaver plist file appears after 20 minutes of inactivity.
