Screensaver hot corner no longer working in 10.9.1

Upgraded to 10.9.1 from 10.9
Moved my moise pointer into the hot corner to activate the screensaver and it did not work.
I tried:
A different screensaver.
Activating a different corner
Changing the option on the corner to "Mission Control" (which worked) then back to Activate ScreenSaver and it did not work.
Turning the corner to "-", setting it. Then going back in and setting it back to the screensaver. It did not work.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Hot links no longer work. When I click on them nothing at all happens. What do I do?

    Hot links no longer work. When I click on them, nothing at all happens. what do I do to fix this problem?

    That is just a link to what is already on this website. I don't know what any of that stuff MEANS. Tell me what to click on in my computer, if you know. I THINK it has Windows 8.1 but don't know how to tell. I was nagged into installing 8.1 and didn't like it and tried to uninstall it but I think it is still there. The hyperlinks were still working long after that. Now, suddenly, google chrome doesn't work, hyperlinks in emails (only) don't work. I don't know how to "reset" anything. This was working fine; now it isn't. I didn't do anything different, and every time I get a message it directs me to click on a hot link and my problem is that hotlinks in my e-mails are NOT WORKING!!! HELP!!!

  • "Disable Screen Saver" hot corner no longer prevents Display Sleep

    I am not sure whether it started only after I upgraded to 10.5.7, but I certainly have this very annoying issue right now.
    I have "Disable Screen Saver" assigned to the top right "hot corner". Some time ago I could place my mouse pointer there in order to prevent activating of "Display Sleep" (as well as gradually dimming before jumping into bed).
    It no longer works. I have my pointer in the right corner, and nevertheless the display first dims, then goes to sleep.
    Is this only my problem? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

    Anybody?

  • Dock hiding and hot corners no longer work

    I am not sure exactly when it began, but for the past 2-4 weeks, my hot corners and dock hiding have been very erratic. At seemingly random times, all the sudden my hot corners stop being active, so when I move my pointer to the corner, the designated task whether it be dashboard, Expose, screen saver, etc. as selected in preferences no longer activates. Dock hiding stops working as well. The dock hides, but when I move my cursor over where the dock is parked it doesn't appear, it stays hidden. I can click command alt d and the dock will appear or disappear, but will not appear by just moving the cursor to the side of the screen where the dock is parked. I have not added any new software lately other than Apple OS 10.6.4 and whatever Safari, iTunes etc updates that keep coming at along at pretty regular intervals. Interestingly I have an iMac at work and at home, and they both are misbehaving in the same way. They are similarly populated with software, although not exactly. When I update one, I update the other. Both started misbehaving at about the same time.
    I have rebooted- sometimes works, sometimes not. I have trashed the dock and finder plist- works for awhile, but problem always returns. I have reset the PRAM- works for awhile, but problem always returns.
    Any thoughts. I like being able to hide the dock to gain that extra bit of screen space, although the command alt d, is an adequate if not ideal work around. But I really like the hot corners, and I do not know of a work around for that problem.

    The university requires all computers to have anti-virus software and recently switched to Sophos from Symantec, in July I believe. That was a new software install. Since it just works in the background and I never actually access it, I had forgotten about that. I hope that is not the problem, as I am required to have antivirus software.
    And no I have not created a new user to log in. It is erratic enough that I don't know how long would have to be on to see if the problem recreated itself. Sometimes it seems like just minutes after I start the computer up and sometimes hours. Right now it is still working since starting this morning.

  • Displaying all application windows through Hot Corners is no longer working.

    I have my MacBook Pro and my iMac setup to display APPLICATION WINDOWS through the upper right HOT CORNER.   It is no longer working on my iMac.  Instead, the system only displays the top/recent used window.  The display separates and shows the most recent window floating, but, no longer does it arrange windows of each application on the desktop.  There are no other options, it's either set in HOT CORNERS or not.   What changed?   It still works on my MacBook.  Version update = 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Imac retina 5k; hot corner display sleep only works on attached display

    Just taken delivery of iMac retina 5k.  I have two Thunderbolt displays attached left and right.  I always use the bottom left hot corner to put the display to sleep but on this new setup I have to swipe to the bottom left of the left display to get this to work.  With my previous Macbook Pro it used to work if I swiped to the bottom left of the Pro, ie I didn't have to go to the left hand Cinema Display. Anyone had this problem?

    Thanks but och I ken that.  Thought some bright spark would save me the long Christmas wait.  Actually I'm getting a callback soon re another issue so I'll try them on this too.

  • OS 10.8 just installed. "Hot Corner" to put new iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5  to sleep mode doesn't work. Have tried cordless and corded mouse with same result. Momentary sleep, immediate wake. Any idea how to fix?

    Set "hot corner" to put iMac to sleep.  Doesn't work.  Selecting the corner will momentarily put to sleep, but immediately rewakes.  Have tried all four corners with same result.  Have tried with wireless mouse and with corded mouse with same result.  Any ideas as to how to fix?

    You've been so great, I want to thank you for all the help over a very frustrating day.  Last evening, I redownloaded and installed the fresh copy of Mountain Lion.  The problem remained.  After installing the new OS 10.8, any clicks on a web page (Firefox browser) didn't open the page, but instead made a copy of the page on the desktop. Felt it must be hardware  degrading, so I set up a case with Apple support for today.  Early in the diagnostics, I had swapped out for a corded mouse and the problem remained.   As a last try, I changed out my wireless mouse for a different wireless mouse. That seems to have done the trick. My Logitech mouse is incompatible with OS 10.8.
    Thank you again, so much!

  • How to update screensaver that no longer works with Leopard or Snow Leopard

    Hello. I have a favorite screen saver that would no longer work when I installed Leopard...and it also does not work with Snow Leopard either.
    Can anyone tell me if I might be able to fix it and make it Snow Leopard compatible? Could I possibly open it up in Xcode or some other program, and make the appropriate changes?
    I also have several iTunes plugins that quit working when Leopard was installed...and I'd like to do the same for them.
    Thanks!

    check with the vendor of that screensaver to see if there is a SL compatible version.
    Could I possibly open it up in Xcode or some other program, and make the appropriate changes?
    only if it's an open source screensaver with source code included. impossible otherwise.

  • Show desktop no longer works in Quick Look Full Screen view

    Is anyone besides myself missing this functionality in Lion? Previously in Snow Leopard, you could be looking at a full screen slideshow in Quick View (by doing cmd+A and hitting the space bar then the full screen arrows) and at any time you were able to do a gesture swipe in order to show the desktop (or you could use a hot corner or keyboard shortcut) and then swipe back down to restore the full screen photo or slideshow. This function is now either broken or just ommitted all together for some reason.
    I just can't figure out what logic there was in removing this feature. Anybody care to guess ?
    Doug

    Hi,
    I had the same problem (the "show desktop" function didn't work in the corner, nor after pressing the keyboard button) and I found no real fix even after an extensive research, including a restart, permission repair, deleting some files/cache from the Library folder and so. THAN I discovered a function in Onyx which turns the "Mission Control" on and off. It was off (unchecked) in my case, so I checked it on and voilà, all of sudden the "Show desktop" function works again! Hot corners as well!
    In Onyx -> Parameters -> Mission Control -> Turn on Mission Control.
    Hope it helps!
    Happy New Year to you all!

  • Clicking on iTunes ikon and I get the message the item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.  What can I do, I can't open Itunes.  I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had

    When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads  Problem with shortcut.  The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
    My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes.  I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either.  I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
    I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am  going to loose all these now?  Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
    Thanks

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • After updating the iOS from 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 the WLAN connection to a Win7 Hotspot (Connectify) is no longer working in the sence that UPnP Apps like PlugPlayer can connect to a Media Server (Twonky) on the Win7 PC in a stable way. What to do?

    I created a backup of the iPod in iTunes before updating to iOS 4.33 but after the update I can not restore. The backup is no longer shown in iTunes. I think iOS 4.3.3 has some differences in handling WLAN due to the Hot Spot capability for the iPone 4 which might cause these problems.
    Please help. The only use of my iPod touch is to remote control my media network. And exactly that is no longer working the way it was before the update!
    Best Regards,
    Gerd

    Now this has two direct effects - firstly it has increased the 3g usage for data and secondly it causes 'blips' with the ability to connect to previously working wifi connections.

    Although I have seen posts about the problem WPA2 key length problem, I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 and have no problems connecting to my WiFi that uses WPA2 AES with a key that is over 20 characters.

    There is also one other school of thought that we have which is to do with the increased battery performance on the iPhones. It looks as though the iPhone drops WiFi when it goes to sleep (ie: when it is turned off in normal mode).
    An iPhone will maintain a WiFi connection when in sleep mode if it is connected to a power source.
    I have no doubt that many users are experiencing problems with their iPhones. I just feel lucky that I haven't experienced any big issues with mine.

  • Update 10.2.2 older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work.

    Update 10.2.2. I updated to 10.2.2 and my older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work. Im talking about the cables with the longer connector and the connector locks not the new style that is a short plug with no lock. Anyone else having this issue?
    Tried normal steps, reinstall restart etc. No change. I'm at work and the cable works fine on 10.2.1.1 something in the update must have changed.

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • [SOLVED] Openbox autostart no longer working since upgrade

    After the upgrade on May 14 2013 my autostart file no longer works. I tried renaming my autostart.sh to just autostart no luck.

    Edit4: Removed everything from /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart/ directories. That didn't work.

    Edit7: Tried installing xorg-xrdb thinking maybe that would help and did todays updates. No luck yet.
    Edit8: Kupfer still loads even though nothing else does. So I uninstalled kupfer. Same thing though. No autostart.
    Edit9: Tried booting into repo kernel instead of ck kernel. Didn't work.

    Well, since it worked fine even when called indirectly through openbox-autostart and since it's worked fine for months I figured it was fine. I am happy to post it though. Here you go:

    Stuff that needs sudo is in my sudoers as "username hostname NOPASSWD: item1,item2,etc,etc". Nothing too exciting. Seems like if there was suddenly something wrong with my autostart file at least some of the stuff would run either way though cause of "&". Pretty puzzling this issue is.

  • Video no longer works on iPad. My videos, you tube, Netflix, news casts, nothing works.

    Video no longer works on iPad. My videos, you tube, Netflix, news casts, nothing works.

    Try this and see if it fixes it for you. Close all apps in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the app icons. Tap the home button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
