Screen savers failing one by one

I usually use the "word of the day" screen saver. It worked great. Then the other day I found it would just come up blank. Just a black screen. Everything else worked as expected - I could move the mouse or hit a key to dismiss the screen saver, launch it by moving the mouse to one of the hot corners, etc.
So I switched to the iTunes album art screen saver. That worked great for a week or so. Now it claims I don't have any artwork. But I go to iTunes and there's all my album art. And iTunes is working great.
So I have two questions: 1) What screen saver should I break next? 2) I'd really like to have one of the old screen savers back. How do I make them work again?
Thanks for your help.

The plot thickens as now my iPod Touch 3G is doing the same thing. Other area networks appear but neither of our home networks do. I've found many references to this phenomenon online but no fixes. I've now tried turning off all security. None of our networks have ever been closed. We're really desperate for help here. Thank you for your kind consideration.

  • Screen savers fail on launch

    My screen savers fail when they try to launch. I only have the standard screen savers installed. They try to launch when they are supposed to (on hot corners, Test button, etc.), but then fail. The way it fails is that the screen goes black and then whichever screen saver I've selected is displayed for less than one second. Then the initial screen then displays.

    From avalokita: I found my problem. My rf mouse is evidently damaged (yep, I musta dropped it one time too many), and it was apparently sending spontaneous messages to the macbook and keeping it awake. When I unplugged the rf transceiver from the usb port, the problem went away. Gotta geta new mouse.

  • Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

    I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.  
    2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes.  (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
    In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:  The handle is invalid."
    I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
    I tried to follow this site:  http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
    Then this error shows up when doing the repair:  there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
    I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups.  I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).

    I came upon this thread:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
    Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas).  I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Elton,
    I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix.  Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5.  That is when I get the error (image above).  There
    was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'.  For more data, see 'Information Details'.
    To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
    From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
    Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
    Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
    When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
    After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.
    Thanks

  • Rented 2 movies, watched one, second one kept downloading for 3 days and finally failed. I was charged for it, it never downloaded, cannot be found in "Available Downloads" and "report a problem" page NEVER loads, no email contact. Please help

    Rented 2 movies, watched one, second one kept downloading for 3 days and finally failed. I was charged for it, it never downloaded, cannot be found in "Available Downloads".
    When you go to "Report a problem" next to the item (Great Gatsby) on the email invoice or on the online account  - it takes you to online support - if you elect problems with iTune downloads the page NEVER opens...  no email contact. Please help

    This is bad - I have an Apple automated response that they got my report on 12/6, 12/10 and 12/14, and I haven't heard anything from them since the 6th when I got one reply that told me to do things I tried before reporting the problem. Between the 6th and 10th I replied to their response 4 times and they ignored me, forcing me to report a problem with two more items that wont download but getting no response.
    How do they get away with this kind of behavior, especially for someone with FIVE Core 2 Duo macs and thousands of dollars of of iTunes store purchases? I'm getting really ******.

    Hi,
    Yes you are right. At one sever where I was getting error, DateTime was in USA format and Where It was running successfully was in AUS format.
    I changed from USA to AUS and I did another changes:
    Data Source Mode: SQL
    Command
    EXEC  [DBO].[SP_TEST] 
    @FROMDATETIME = ?,
    @TODATETIME = ?
    and It is working fine.

  • My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

    I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

    Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

  • BSP page loads in active screen instead of opening new one

    When I want to execute my SAP CRM webclient, it always takes an active internet explorer screen instead of a new one.  I know this is just a setting somwhere, can somebody help me find this back? 
    Thanks experts!

    this has nothing to do with BSP. you have to change your browser setting. for example in IE
    go to tools->internet options->advanced and uncheck the check box against "Reuse windows for launching short cuts ...."

  • Why the screen flickers and moves from one app to another by itself without being touch?

    Why the screen flickers and moves from one app to another by itself without being touch?

    Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? 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.
