Screensaver is not working in OSX Yosemite

Hi,
My screensaver is not working in OSX Yosemite on my macbook pro late 2008
Can't solve it by my self..

I had noticed I was having this issue too, and my screensaver never kicking in, and just going to sleep with it never kicking in.
I had gone in and checked to see if any of the settings had got changed or deleted in the system upgrade, but they were all still set at what I had them at prior... so, did as some attempted above also, and adjusted the times for it to kick in, and still nothing.  Worked when I would hit 'Preview', but still not kick in at the interval time.
What I just did to get it to work, was just to simply go into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver, and just reselected the folder of images that I want to be used, in my case, a folder of images in my iPhoto.  And it now works.
Apparently, it wasn't working, because, even though it was still selected to use that folder in iPhoto, something must have changed in the upgrades, which might of had something to to with the iPhoto update too, where it had to update my iPhoto library upon relaunch... and my screensaver settings were set to access that older directed to folder within Library, that was updated in the new release... and so, just repointing it to that folder now in iPhoto, got it to work.
At least, that is my figurin', and I'm stickin' to it!

  • TIP: DO NOT UPGRADE TO OSX YOSEMITE!!!

    If you are on a Mac (unfortunately I'm forced to use one at the office), do not, I repeat, do NOT "upgrade" to OSX Yosemite. Adobe still hasn't figured out the conflicts between EA and Yosemite. I've been fighting issues all day with lock ups, etc. If you want to keep your sanity, wait to upgrade the OS until Adobe issues a patch.
    On a side note, I can't wait to get back to my PC at home. No issues there...

    My user experience with Yosemite:
    Both versions can be installed "side by side". I mean: Edge 4.0 and 5.0.1

    To update, log in with the Account you have purchased it - click update (for free)

  • "HP laserjet professional utility" does not work in osx 10 (Yosemite)

    All the major functions of this printer work fine in Yosemite, but not the "HP laserjet professional utility"The driver shown in System Preferences/Printer for my Laserjet P1606dn is version 6.9 (I am unable to knowif this is the version provided by the latest HP printer update, which was installed via the App Store.) I note this exact issue was raised for OSX7 in November 2014, but for a diiferent model printer.  My printer is on my local wifi network, and that earlier case seemed to invove a direct USB connection. The solution offered in that thread, 4694464,may not be applicable now, so I seek advice In the panel for my 1606dn within System Preferences/Printer offers a button to launch the "HP Professional Utility", but when clicked an app launches called the "HP Professional Utility" but then nothing.  I am trying to access the printer controls that will keep it from turning itself off when idle, and the documentation says the "HP Professional Utility" will allow that change. Please advise 

    Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.

  • Adobe Photoshop 7.0 not working on OSX 10.5

    My Photoshop 7.0 is not working on my new Macbook with OSX 10.5. I receive this error message:
    "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a a program error. Photoshop will now exit."
    I tried reinstalling it but still get the same error. Is it not compatible with the new OS?

    Francine, thank you for answering the very simple question I had about whether or not Photoshop Elements 6 was compatible with 10.5.5. I spent hours on the phone today with Adobe, being transferred around and trying to get a straight answer. I never got one from Adobe. The same thing happened when I called Apple. I realize that Apple is not the manufacturer, but hoped they might have an answer because they sell the software and should know if it works with their current OS. Since the system requirements on Adobe's and Apple's websites still say it only works with systems up to 10.5.2, sales and technical support people just read that back. I can read the same specs too, but I realize that 10.5.5 is new and that it is possible that they just may not have updated the info on the web or in their scripts to reflect this. Apparently, actual users like you and several others are saying it works fine with no issues. It's really nice to know how easy it is to find answers here when you can't get the help or answers you need from the manufacturer. It seems like all they do is read a script, and even supervisors just don't want to be bothered. They should realize that 10.5.5 is the current OS since mid-September, and if they don't provide accurate info then people won't know whether or not to purchase the software. I was hesitant because I didn't want to waste the money to find out if it would or would not work. But now that I see others are using PSE 6 without a problem in 10.5.5, I have the answers I need and I feel more confident about buying the software.

  • Java 7 not working on OSX 10.8.3

    I need some help with Java 7.
    I am trying to open my photo lab software, however, it keeps giving me a message saying I need to download the Java Runtime Environment. I clicked on the link and it brought me to the Java site. I sucessfully download the software but it still doesn't work even though Java test show's it's working.
    I'm running OS X 10.8.3.
    I downloaded the softwared using Firfox don't know if that makes a difference.
    I've checked my Java setting and they all seem to be enabled. At this point I have not idea whats going on. I didn't have this problem before and can't figure out what to do.

    I had a similar problem running Java with OSX 10.8.3.  Even after performing the latest software update (including Safari 6.0.4) in addition to download and installation of the latest version of Java (version 7 update 21), Java did not work. And the “Java icon” was absent from the “system preferences” menu (should be at the bottom under the tab “other”). Very strange! But I found a solution: 1.) Go to “Library > Internet Plug-Ins”; 2.) Move all JavaAppletPlugins to trash (I moved “JavaAppletPlugin (1.7.10.18).plugin” and “JavaAppletPlugin.plugin”); 3.) Download and run the latest Java update; 4.) re-launch Safari.
    That solved my problem and I can run Java applications in Safari. Again......

  • Iphoto will not work after uploading yosemite

    After uploading the Yosemite upgrade. The iPhoto will not work. I have done what the software recommends. I have deleted the app and reloaded it. I get the same message. The message that i get is:
    your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable.
    shut down and restart your computer and then open iPhoto again. if the problem persists. try rebuilding your photo library. to do this quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the option and command keys pressed. you can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Matt

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Vuze not working after installing Yosemite

    I did an upgrade from Mountain Lion to yosemite today after months of putting it off.  Everything went great, mail is working etc and all looking good.  Except Vuze - it will not open at all.  i kept getting a message to install the latest Java, which I did and still not working.  I googled the problem and lots of people talking about using a different installer and providing the link, so I did that one too.  At the end it said Vuze has been installed successfully.  But when i click on the icon at the bottom of my screen it still gives me the error message 'To open Fuze you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime'.  Then when i click More info, I'm back to where i started.  Please help - and I want to be able to save my library of course too.  All my files are on an external hard drive and I run time machine regularly. 
    I'm not very technically savvy, so any help and advice would be much appreciated. Please help me get my Vuze working again.  Thank you.

    Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it.  Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list.  This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)
