Screen saver with "music on" doesn't seem to work correctly for me.  why?

I don't understand what is going on with the screen saver when I have it set to work when music is "on."
My photos will play just fine if I manually pick them to play (i.e. a slide show). But when music is playing, and the screen saver begins to activate after the apppropriate time, I either get some "jibberish" writing in the bottom left corner or I get a solid colored white or black screen.
I've double checked that I have my photos selected correctly. And this was working correctly months ago. I just don't understand what could be causing this now.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi, I have a similar problem. When playing music, the screensaver has stopped working. Instead all I get is a white screen. I have checked all the settings and they are ok. The photos show and the albums show will work. But as soon as I switch back to slideshow I get the white screen back. It is even like this in 'Preview'.
Have you solved the problem now. If so, how?
Anyone else affected? I took a new software update to the Apple TV two days ago. Could this be the problem?
all advice welcome
regards
Michael

    Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts. 
    I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page.  Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
    It's always the second search that is problematic.
    I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
    I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem.  The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups".  Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
    Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

  • Numbers application on Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text I want to convert to a value.

    Hi, I would appreciate if someone could assist with the following.  On the Numbers application on my Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text which I want to convert to a value.  It gives me an error (in my example: 'VALUE requires a string specifying a number, but found "-14308.65" instead.'
    The exact same document (if converted from Numbers to excel), displays the converted string/text correctly in MS Excel as a value though.

    click on the cell then in the formula bar and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to see if there are any other characters in the cell that could confuse the function.  Also make sure the localization for your country is correct in System Prefs.
    Maybe copy the EXACT contents of the cell and post here.

  • Saving tabs doesn't seem to work anymore for me in 4.0.1

    Since I've installed FireFox 4.0.1 the saving of tabs doesn't seem to work anymore. When I press exit I only receive the notification "are you sure you want to close x tabs?". When firefox or my computer crashes the tabs are saved, but when I try to exit myself I can't. Can someone tell me how to solve this?

  • Automator Workflow as Finder Plug In Doesn't Seem to Work Correctly

    Has anyone noticed that if you create an Automator Workflow as a Finder Plug-in in Leopard it does not seem to work correctly or at all?
    I have a two action Workflow.
    1. Get Selected Finder Items
    2. Import Files into iPhoto
    When run inside Automator, it works fine. If I save as Finder Plug-in and use it in the Finder, it gets to the second action and dies.
    I've seen other posts about Finder Plug-in weirdness and was wondering if this was another symptom.

    Yes, I found this out today. Any Finder Workflow that I start with "Get Selected Finder Items" does not work. Hope they fix this soon ...that's an important one to work.

  • SetDocument doesn't seem to work correctly

    I'm obviously using the setDocument method for my JTextField incorrectly, but how? The DocumentSizeFilter works correctly, allowing only the number of characters I specify, but the DigitDocument.insertString(...) doesn't seem to work at all (it should allow for only digits to be entered into the JTextField).
              AbstractDocument doc;
              pafTextField = new JTextField();
              pafTextField.setDocument(new DigitDocument());
              pafTextField.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(30, height));
              doc = (AbstractDocument)pafTextField.getDocument();
              doc.setDocumentFilter(new DocumentSizeFilter(2));The DigitDocument class:
    public class DigitDocument extends PlainDocument{
         public DigitDocument(){
              super();
         public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException, NumberFormatException{
              try{
                   System.out.println("String str = " + str);
                   int i = Integer.parseInt(str);
                   super.insertString(offs, str, a);
              catch(NumberFormatException e){
                   // do nothing because a user input was not a digit
                   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
    }the DocumentSizeFilter code:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/DocumentSizeFilter.java

    didn't try the abstract doc, but why not combine the two
    something like this
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    class Testing extends JFrame
      public Testing()

  • Font-Update of  Labels with UI-Manager doesn't seem to work. PLZ help.

    Hi, i placed serveral JLabel's on a JFrame. (in many Jpanels)
    in a Dialog I enabled the user to select Fonts, Styles and Sizes.
    I used
    UIManager.put("Label.font",selectedFonts[0]);
    SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(MainFrame);
    MainFrame.repaint();to update the default-font.
    This works fine for labels in a JDialog which is completly recreated after changing the font.
    But for labels that are still visible and aren't recreated, this action seems to have no effect to the labels.
    I stored the selected fonts and after a restart of the prog it look like it should, but I want to change it at runtime.
    I tried to set the font-sizes by hand, which caused the programm to hang-up.
    The same result was caused by using updateComponentTreeUI on partial UITree's.
    Calling setVisible(false ); and setVisible(true ); don't work either.
    Is there a way, to update the labels without removing and recreating??
    Tanks a lot in advance for any help.
    Urmech
    PS.: Please excuse my bad english.

    Hmm, I would have expected it to work exactly like you are doing it. Doing some experiments I found that the font is taken only on the very first change after startup. The only difference between the first and any following font settings (at least in my test setup) was that on start the type of the old font is a FontUIResource (as it is set by the UIDelegate on startup) whereas at the second it's a Font.
    so, instead of
    UIManager.put("Label.font", selectedFont[0])
    doing a
    UIManager.put("Label.font", new FontUIResource(selectedFont[0])
    does the trick, though I don't understand it fully.

  • Reformatting external HD with Disk Utility doesn't seem to work?

    I've got two external hard disks - one Samsung 250GB and one 40GB which were previously formatted for and used with a PC.
    I'm trying to erase them and reformat them for Mac, using the 'erase disk' option in Disk Utility, but each time I try, for each disk, it seems stuck at 'creating partition map'. After an hour or so, I give up. I'm reformatting as 'Mac OS Extended (journaled)', which I understand to be the correct option.
    Can anyone help - is there something obvious I'm missing?
    Thanks!

    Instead of using the Erase tab, select the DRIVE (not the volume indent below) and go to the Partition tab.
    In the Partition tab, select a Volume Scheme (change it from Current), even if you select +1 Partition+. Click on the Options button below the diagram. Select the appropriate Partition Map Scheme in the dialog box. For exclusive use with an Intel Mac, +GUID Partition Table+ is optimum. Click OK. Name the one or more partitions. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click Apply.
    Hopefully by repartitioning, the erase procedure will work.

  • Contains method on an ArrayList doesn't seem to work right for me

    I am having a problem using the 'contains' method on an array list which I know seems such a simple thing! I have created a series of simple classes that simulate what I am trying to achieve in a more complex environment. Essentially I have an abstract class (Test1) then a class (Test2) that extends Test1. I've got a public static final String variable in Test2 that overrides one of the same name in Test2. I've overridden the 'equals' method in Test1 to compare the static final String to see if it's the same (using String.equals method). If I create 2 objects in the following way:
    Test1 obj1 = new Test2();
    Test1 obj2 = new Test2();If I call obj1.equals(obj2) I get true. If I put obj1 into a list, then call list.contains(obj2) I get false.
    According to the javadoc for the Collections contains method it says 'More formally, returns true if and only if this collection contains at least one element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)).'
    So.... I was expecting that as obj1.equals(obj2) returns true then the contains method would also return true.
    Can anyone tell me what I've missed?
    I can provide the simple test classes I wrote if anyone wants them.

    The OP says he's overridden equals(), and if he hadn't he wouldn't get the 'true' he gets.
    @OP: I think you've fallen foul of the symmetry rules for the equals() method. I'm guessing this because you've said that one class extends the other.
    You said that obj1.equals(obj2) returns true. What happens if you do obj2.equals(obj1)? I bet you get false.
    This is exactly the reason why you shouldn't use getClass() in an equals() method, and should always use the instanceof operator. Basically, you've made your equals() work one way and not the other.
    You should also remember to override hashCode() if you haven't already.

  • Email Security Plug-in - Doesn't seem to work with right click or save and send

    I've searched the knowledge base but have not located the answer yet.
    We have the Encrypt Message plug-in installed to flag the email [SEND SECURE].  This works very well when in Outlook.  It does not seem to work when right clicking a file to send outside of Outlook or performing Save and Send from within Microsoft Office.  The add-in still shows and users are clicking it and the Send button but the emails are not going securely.  We are on Microsoft2010 on mostly XP machines.
    How can I get Encrypt Message to work in all instances?
    Thank you.

  • USB Numeric Pad doesn't seem to work in "Screen Sharing" app.

    I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. Recently, purchased a new Targus AKP10AP USB Numeric Pad however, it doesn't seem to work in "Screen Sharing" app but seems to work fine in other apps. Screen\ Sharing.app doesn't seem to be able to recognise the numpad. If I connect a regular usb keyboard all seems to work fine - just the numpad doesn't seem to be recognized.

    First and foremost, XP SP2 is EOL on security updates. If possible I would strongly recommend Windows 7 instead.
    When you install XP, or Windows, fully upgrade first, then add Apple drivers, get it working fine. They say that 15 minutes is enough time to compromise a default XP install, and used as a "honey pot" to test what malware is circulating.
    I don't know about McAfee (I guess Google must) but for now or next time, try with just MS Security Essentials, free and gets high marks, it works.
    There are probably a lot of things to learn on a daily basis.
    But make sure what you install is current and compatible. And have backups and restore points so you can go back to earlier stable system state.
    And yes seems like the Windows partition or OS is not functional.

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • TS4036 I'm just confused with icloud, it doesn't seem as user friendly as mobileme to back up.

    I don't seem to understand icloud.  Mobileme seemed to allow me to backup my disk in mass but this doesn't seem to work with icloud.  I have two computers that I would like to "talk to one another" .  My work computer is the main system but I would like most data backed up on my home computer so I can work from home.  The only way I seem to be able to do this is to down on a memory stick and upload to my home computer.  What am I missing?

    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)
