Screen Savers That Work While Listening To Music

HI, i'm having a hard time find a simple "screenblanker"(mabye text or a clock) screensaver saver that I can have on while listening to music. My problem is all the apple original screen savers, they all turn off when I ajust my music volume! And i dont want this to happen  Anyluck?

I have a very cool suggestion for you:
1: Download the free SoundStream screeensaver and install it, set it as your screensaver.
http://pcheese.net/software/soundstream/
2: Next open AppleScript Editor and paste this script in:
tell application "System Events"
    if process "ScreenSaverEngine" exists then
        tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
    else
        do shell script "System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
    end if
end tell
4: Now Save the script "DeskScreen" as a Application to your Utilities Folder and drag a alias to the Dock.
5: Hide the Dock (optional)
6; Play iTunes and enable the "DeskScreen" and enjoy, uses your microphone and the sound to create effects.
7: To stop the effect, just click the "DeskScreen" icon in the Dock again and it turns off. You have full use of the computer too.
8: Works with most screensavers. Eats CPU/GPU, so you might want to cut it off when your using the machine for heavy duty programs.
Enjoy
and a bonus....free 3D game...

  • Screensaver that works while presentation playing?

    i have a self standing touch-screen kisok presentation. i've noticed that when the keynote presentation is playing, the screensaver will not come on. in this case the screensaver has been loaded with images very relevant to the presentation and i'd like to use it as an 'attract loop' of sorts.
    is there some setting that i can change or a third party application that will play overtop of the presentation during idle time?
    thanks.

    thanks. let me know what you fiind. due to your mention of the auto-restart feature, i picked up keynote 3 and have it installed. i had the same problem with the hot corner not working and figured there was some mechanism in place to prevent it.
    i also tried lauching (remotely with ARD) screensaverengine.app while the presentation was running and was unsuccessful. an always open applescript seemed as if it might be a possibility, but with the screensaver not working, i can't figure any way to look for the idle status needed to make sure i didn't interrupt someone using the kiosk.
    my searches have not turned up and third party screen savers that will work either.

  • For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

    for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

  • How can I stop text tones from playing while listening to music?

    When I am using my phone as an iPod I sometimes get multiple texts from people in various group messages. Is there a way to disable the text tones while listening to music?

    Hey there Brett, during the summer I found myself with a broken ringer and it was stuck on full volume. If you go into your setting under sound you will find your text tones, there you will select NONE and theres no noise when you get a text

  • Ipod shuffle 2 gen. while listening to music shuts down after 3-4 minutes

    ipod shuffle 2 gen. while listening to music shuts down after 3-4 minutes (many times flashing red light). Shows the full battery charge (green signal). . Restore did not help ...

    Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing.  You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.

    I don't know what they call it, but my plantronics voyager pro, and my wifes plantronics voyager pro+ will not let you hear music through the headset.  My Blueant T1 does support it and plays the music through the deadset.

  • Ipad screen freezes while listening to music

    this problem has occurred several times since i upgraded to IOS5 and basically when i am listening to music and want to change playlist or genre,etc... the screen freezes and it will not let me change to what i selected.Whatever i'm listening to that's it unless i go and restore ipad to it's original settings and then it works well until down the road it decides to freeze and must perform restore again.
    Please help.Thx.

    Ok,i am replying to my question and i have found the solution!
    I had set my auto lock to never and when i changed the auto lock to 15 minutes all my problems went away.It's been a week and my problem with the screen going black and not beign able to make any changes while listening to the music app has not come back.
    Hopefully whomever reads this and has the same problem just follow my example and you should be fine.
    Good luck

  • Keep The Screen on While Listening To Music IOS8

    While driving and listening to music, I prefer to have the iPhone's screen on ... just makes it easier to change songs without having to hit the home button to bring the player controls back up.  Is there a way to do this in ios8?

    Hi shafeen, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You can turn off the Auto-Lock in Settings to keep you iPhone from going to sleep. Keep in mind that your battery life will decrease if your iPhone does not go to sleep. 
    iPhone: About General Settings
    Auto-Lock
    Locking iPhone turns off the display. Nothing happens if you touch the screen. You can still receive calls and text messages, an you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on the iPhone Stereo headset when listening to music or on a call.
    Set the amount of time before iPhone locks
    Choose General > Auto-Lock and choose a time.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Phone Volume buttons doesn't work when you receive a call while listening to music

    It is surprising to see such a silly and annoying bug. I was listening to music at high volume. Then received a call when the phone was unlocked and on music player. Now the fun started. I cannot reduce the volume by the outside volume buttons where as the volume of voice stays same. Very annoying dis-pleasurable experience. Don't know if it is common on other iPhones but it happened consistently on iPhone6+.
    Workaround - If we lock the phone and use the volume buttons then it reduces and increases sound successfully.

    The point I am referring to is already when I picked the call the controls didn't switch to Phone App. The whole time Phone app is active on the screen volume is not reducing at all. Quirk of the system - there is no soft volume control on the phone app hence user has to use the Hardware side buttons only. When phone app is in focus and in control the volume controls should work. This is definitely a major bug.

  • HELP!  I am missing calls while listening to music on my iPhone 5.

    Device: iPhone 5
    Completelty upgraded to iOS 7.1.1
    Apps set to automatically update
    Carrier: Verizon
    Location - Atlanta, GA
    This use to happen occassionally, but has become a more frequent issue as of late. When I am listening to my music player or watching Netflix/Amazon on my phone I am randomly missing phone calls.
    For example...just this morning, my wife called me and said "are you OK, I've called 4 times." My reaction was once again annoyance and disbelief because I was simply driving down the interstate listening to my music. The phone never stopped the music to answer the call on her first four attempts and then the call apparently went through on her 5th attempt.
    This has happened at least once EVERY day this week. I have missed calls from my friends, nanny and most importantly about 10-12 calls from my wife.
    It really does appear to be completely random because once this week my wife called while I was driving into work listening to my music and the call came through on the first attempt. My music paused, I clicked ANSWER...no problems at all. The call lasted a few minutes, we hung up, and my music automatically started back up. 30 minutes later she called me back, while I was listening to music and the call never came through to me. My music didnt stop, my phone didnt ring and I do not have a missed call on my call log. She however showed me her call log and sure enough it took her 4 times to reach me for that second call.
    Sometimes it only blocks one attempt on her part...other times it can be 3 or 4.  Needless to say, this is becoming a very annoying issue.
    I do not have the "Do Not Distrub" feature activated.  I have NEVER used that feature.  Here are the settings, which I presume are the default setting, under the DND menu:  Again, these must be the default setting because I have not touched them.  Ever.
    Manual - turned off
    Scheduled - turned off
    Allow calls from - Favorites.  I do not have any "favorites" programmed into my contacts.
    Repeated Calls - this is turned ON
    Silence - this has "Only while iPhone is locked" selected.
    Also, my phone will periodically, randomly tell me I have a voice mail but not make a noise and not ring at all.  Text messages are also being ignored.  No sound, no buzz, and then all of a sudden I get abanner notification of having a voice mail/text message.
    Again, it works MOST Of the time with no issue. 
    Any thoughts on this? 
    Anyone else having the same issue?
    Could this be a bug with iOS 7.1.1???
    Thank you,
    Ben

    I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue.  I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
    The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off.  I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Then, test it out again.  Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

  • HT5295 How can I listen to an audio podcast with the screen off? I don't need the screen on using power while listening

    I can not find a setting to change this. Music will play with screen off or using another app while listening but the podcast app does not allow this

    Have you checked for updates to the podcast app in the app store? There was an update that addressed exactly this problem a few days ago.

  • Dr-bt50 Issue while listening to music

    Hello
    I have a problem here whit my Sony dr-bt50.
    While am playing music on my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music the music is "lagging" alot.
    If im thinking right the phone isn't strong enough to hold the line? It is realy annoying when am at work and listening trough it!
    I hope Nokia will release a new update to fix this thing

    I wouldn't assume the problem is with the phone. Lag on A2DP bluetooth headsets is often reported on a variety of phones and headsets, and it may not be a problem with the phone or the headset but the A2DP standard itself.
    I've never heard a full explanation for this, different people come up with different theories, but one thing you can try is using lower bit-rate music as that may be easier for the connection to cope with. (When I used a lower bit rate music collection I never had any problems with A2DP.)

  • Quartz Extreme and Screen Savers not working

    I couldn't find an answer to my problem. But I found an answer close to mine said (10.4.4 broke Quartz Extreme). There system profiler says Quartz not supported. I checked mine says the same thing now. The answer was to delete two files from system library (Extension.kextcache and Extension.mkext) I did that and restarted worked fine, turn computer back on today back to the same problem.
    I could use some HELP.
    This is my problem. I don't remember when this started but it's been months. It's my screen savers I have regular savers and Quartz savers and Quartz saver I made when I got Tiger. Went to change saver one day and all my Quartz savers were missing some savers that were not Quartz and the screen saver called my computer name has a blue file folder. I went thought the savers found some that made System Preference crash though them out still did not help, checked saver folder all there. I restarted computer some times were there, some times not might have to restart few more times to work. When I turn computer on next day some times would be all back some times not. Have had regular screen saver missing but when screen saver kicked in after some time it work but not in list. Checked folder again the saver were missing from folder too this time. I don't want to have to restart my computer each time I want to use those savers. Some time have to keep started over and over again in a roll to get to work don't think thats very good for my computer. I also did repair permission that didn't help. Don't know what to try next. Can anybody help.

    Yes, I did try a new account and the screen saver still will not come on. I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple Support and the tech did seem sharp. After trying many things including your suggestion his opinion was that I downloaded something that wrote something into the screen saver Pref's or something to keep it from activating. The only screen saver I had downloaded around that time was a Superman one relating to the new Superman movie. I think I will contact the originator of that screen saver and see what he has to say. Apple support suggested I do a new OS install. Thanks for your reply to my post

  • Scrolling pictures on Apple TV while listening to music

    How do I turn off pictures that are scrolling when I listen to music from my compute when music coming through Apple TV? Or how do I turn on scrolling through pictures from IPHOTO instead of these pictures which Apple TV is pulling from some other source?
    Kent Hill

    Made real progress, but I can't make it choose just IPHOTO. It insists on me choosing an"event," and I have a thousand of those. I was hoping to have it randomly go through my IPHOTOs. Ideas?
    Thanks.
