Screensaver on Second Monitor says "Looking for pictures..."

My MBP just came back from getting a new logic board due to the video card packing it in. Now it won't show any pictures on my 2nd monitor with the screensaver. Either I disable the 2nd monitor and it's black, or it says "looking for pictures..." while the pictures appear on the MBP screen only. It used to run both screens with screensaver and was brilliant... And in the screensaver preferences, the test works fine. Weird...
HELP! (please)

Workaround: Create an alias of the photos folder in the iPhoto library. Some users have had success by creating an alias of the "originals" folder that's inside the iPhoto library. To do this, locate the iPhoto library (usually in the "Pictures" folder), and right click on it and select "Show Package Contents". Then select "originals" folder and create an alias for it and move the alias to another location outside of the library. After this, open the "Screen Saver" system preferences and select "Choose Folder" from the "Screen Savers" list, selecting the alias as the pictures folder. NOTE: This can also be done with a subfolder within the "originals" or any other folder of pictures within the iPhoto library.

  • Looking for pictures...

    Recently my MB when coming out of "sleep", shows the message "looking for pictures" which remains in view for a couple of seconds and then disappears. While its not a big deal, it is a trifle annoying. Anyone know what might be causing this message to appear.

    This sounds like it may be the screen saver you have selected (one that may display photos). Sometimes your display may be set to blank out before the screen saver kicks in so you won't see the message when it comes up... then if your machine goes to sleep... when you wake it, you'll see the message. If you select a different screen saver do you still get the message?

  • Looking for pictures of Apeture Books to be used as samples

    Anyone know where I can find pictures of what the end result of an Aperture Book looks like so I can show it to a Client?
    If I show the Client the book in Aperture, it is difficult for them to visualise what the final book will look like.
    Any help here???
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link. I did know about this facility to preview the book before buying already. What I'm looking for is some kind of picture of what the final book actually looks like, something I can show a Client and say "it will look like this".
    Do you know of anywhere I can see a jpeg or some equivalent of the final results?
    A deep Google search has revealed nothing...
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • What does Looking For pictures mean in start up?

    Can anyone help me? After using my computer this morning (it worked) I came back to it and it was frozen with a "looking for o
    Pictures" note in the middle of the screen with a beach ball. Ack! I tried restarting, force quit etc and get the same thing. Now all that will come up is the iMac apple screensaver.  when I use the f3 -key I can see that safari is working and updating but if I move the mouse the screen goes blue. What in the worl is going on?

    Now when in safe mode, try to figure out which settings are causing the bad screensaver.. My guess is that your screensaver in set to an iphoto event which is missing, corrupt,... First try with changing to a standard screensaver. Glad I could help

  • Dual Monitor Setup - Looking for Optimum Solution

    HP Compaq DC5850 Small Form Factor Business PC

    If I buy a second LG LED 23M35 monitor will it work: If I plug the first monitor into the VGA port on the computer and the VGA port on the monitor using a VGA cable. Then I plug the second monitor into the DVI-D port on the computer and the HDMI port on the monitor using a DVI-D cable with an HDMI adapter?

    From the technical reference guide:
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.BINARYPORTLET/public/kb/docDisplay/resource.proc...
    you can use both ports, you have to test if a dvi-d to hdmi connection will work.
    Sometimes a dvi-d source can't support hdmi -if you have already one monitor, just test it.

  • Looking for "Picture Frame" Plugin for CS5 64-bit

    Hello!  I went to slap a plain ol' picture frame on a photo image in CS5.  The kind of frame that looks like those you have hanging on your walls.  Not acid etched edges or canvas texture overlays, etc.  I found that nothing I had would do what i wanted.  I am looking for something like the old Extensis Photoframe or Alien Skin SPLAT!  The onOne PhotoFrame 4.5 Free version doesn't have what the old Extenses version had.  Has anyone looked inside onOne PhotoFrame 4.5 Standard?  I'd like to konw before I cough up $150 for the plugin.
    Are there other plugins that will put an ordinary looking mitered picture frame on an image in CS5 64-bit?
    Thanks, - Dave

    Hello John!  Thanks- I didn't know those actions were there.  I'm working with big files though and the frames come out kind of skinny.  I'm sure I could edit that actions but I'm looking more for a slap-it-on-and-forget-it solution.  The link to Exchasnge sure does have some amazing stuff.  I'm glad to know of the resource.  The search results were pretty dated though, so I'm not sure which will work with Win64 + PS64 bit.
    I guess a SPLAT! or Extenses PhotoFrame replacement doesn't come to mind out there?  I found sometning that is along the lines of what I'm looking for:
    http://www.humansoftware.com/pages1200/ClassicFrame/gallery_v1/clasfram9.html
    These are a bit more fancy than I had in mind and are take it or leave it, where Splat! and the old PhotoFrame were tweakable.
    I'll keep on looking.  Anyone else jump in if a light bulb goes off.

  • Looking for picture frame software/plug-in

    I am looking for software or a plug-in that will apply a frame and matting to my image. The frame and matting  must conform to my image dimensions without distorting the frame itself (e.g. the top and bottom of the frame become narrower than the sides of the frame.
    Thanks for any guidance!

  • Every few seconds, WiFi says: "Searching for Networks", alternating with WiFi: "ON"

    WiFi seems to be scanning for networks every few seconds. In between, it is showing ON.
    Other computers on the same home wireless network are fine. My home network appears
    to be strongest, why does the Apple WiFi keep scanning? internet seems to be intermittent.
    This started a couple days ago, no change in hardware for a long time.

    It's functioning as intended.
    OS X is assuming that you clicked the Wi-Fi icon for a reason: to be given the option to connect to a different wireless network should you so choose.

  • Reference monitor defaults as ganged to Program monitor. Looking for fix.

    I'm encountering an issue using PPro CC (7.2.2) where editing a clip into the timeline- either from the source window or from a bin- automatically opens the Reference monitor and has it ganged to the Program monitor.  I keep turning that off, but it happens again.
    Is anyone having this issue?
    Any easy ways to resolve?
    Thanks

    you could write a daemon method which would, every so often, search the forums for the keyword.
    Better yet, you can use google's "site: bbs.archlinux.org keyword format to do your search.
    But, be sure not to do it too often. If you keep banging a particular forum website too often, your ip might get banned.

  • Instructions for installing flash player on Adob's website says "step 1 says look for the yellow bar at the top" . There ias no yellow baron my screen.

    Firefox has crashing on a regular basis for almost a month now. It all started when itried to update flash player as recommended, I havnt been able to download the update because i dont understand the instructions. The instruction appear on Adobe's site that firefox links too. The instructions say that firefox wont allow the download unless allowed. I go to instructions for adding Adobe to the list of approved sites and the very first step 1 of the instruction talk about locating a u yellow bar "at the top (the top of what?) that apparently says "edit options:" in it. I see no yellow bar The direction seem incomplete or they begin somewhere in the middle of the steps i need to take. This shoild be easy. Will loading flash player stablize my system?

    The instructions on the Adobe site are outdated and do no longer apply to current Firefox versions and you can ignore those instructions and save the Adobe installer to your desktop and start the installation with a double-click on that file.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
