Some Preferences not sticking ie screen saver jump back to random after setting a particular screen saver

I set a specific screen saver in the preferences file, after a reboot, random savers box is always checked. Also when I move items to the side bar they stay there until a start-up after which they have disappeared.
Thx AL

I think that it is something wrong with kernel and graphic drivers but i'm not able to solve it from the beginning of using of Arch by me.
I'm not so sure this issue is software-related only because in my case it seems the laptop screen enters power-saving mode (10-min timeout) on its own without any events logged (as shown by dmesg) so my next thought was OK, I'm going to get rid of this issue disabling the screen power-saving timeout in the BIOS and set it to never power down or something like that and from then on managing power mode manually; ie: when I want to power down I will just use systemctl suspend/hibernate which work fine ... problem is: there are no related options in my BIOS for such timeout.
The only timeouts I have are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to 30min (#IdleActionSec) (commented) by default so these are not in effect because the screens goes blank after 10m which is less than the (default) 30m in logind. Maybe setting loggind to 9m (un-commented) to catch the event before the machine-default one ?
IdleActionSec=9min
IdleAction=suspend
Will check it and report back.

EIS error - "Unable to set locale for GlobalC"

Hello all!
I'm working with Oracle Performance Scorecard and Oracle Integration Services to generate an Essbase cube. I'm not able no generate my cube from HPS even it doesn't showing any error in the screen but in the HPS log it shows the error message "Unable to set locale for GlobalC". So, i've noticed that the problem isn't with HPS, but EIS. I decided start the EIS shell (olapicmd.exe) and the same error message was showed in the cmd prompt. Could anyone help with this issue?
Regards,
Rafael

Hello!
I've opened a SR on Oracle support. They said that EIS doesn't work on 64 bits machine

Hello Matthew,
You should also change your temp directory to something woth no spaces, something like C:\temp.
Sapisnt sometimes has problems with the spaces in the temp path, and the Universal Installer nearly always
has a problem with this.

Unable to set Labelfield for child element in List

Hi All,
Below is code I am trying to execute
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" verticalGap="0" xmlns:local="*" height="500" creationComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var arr:Array = [{ firstName: "Alex", children:{lastName: "Abc"}}]
private function init():void{list.dataProvider=arr;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:List variableRowHeight="true" wordWrap="
true" id="list" labelField="
chidren.lastName" /></mx:Application>
I basically want to access the children.lastName on my List. Please let me know how exactly can I do it.

A: Unable to set Labelfield for child element in List

labelFunction is the best way to do this. The attached code also shows how to do it with an itemRenderer, though that would not be as efficient.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        list2.dataProvider=arr;
      private function createLabels(item:Object):String{
        return item.children.lastName;
    ]]>

Please help: unable to set preferences for planning from workspace.

Hi Experts,
unable to set preferences for planning from workspace.(file--->preferences----->planning), when doing this task prompts " An Error occured" preferences works fine with other components IR, FR, WEB ANALYSIS.problem is only with the planning.
1) i restarted the workspace and planning services but even then the same issue.
Please help me out on this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you get the same problem if you access planning directly ? http://<planningmachine>:8300/HyperionPlanning/
Just trying to understand if it related directly to planning and maybe you will get a different error message.
Cheers

I'm trying to download a widget for screen saver as desktop but it won't let me

Can't choose folder for screen saver

Hi, I just updated to the newest intel security download and now I cannot choose a folder when changing my screen saver. I can choose a folder for desktop background but the option for screen saver is not there anymore. Does anyone know what happened or how to get that option back? Thanks.

I don't know if you're still having this problem, but it's one I have from time to time. There's a forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2010035&start=0&tstart=0
I find that sometimes I lose the option to choose a folder for the screensaver, without any warning. How are you accessing this control panel? If you do it by right-clicking (or the equivalent; I have a 2-button mouse) on the desktop, try accessing it instead through "System Preferences" on your Dock. It's dumb, but it seems to work for me. Good luck.

5 minute setting for screen saver works Intermittently

HI, I have a Macbook Pro with system 10.9.4 on it. I have my energy savings set at 3 hours and wake for internet access is not selected.
My screensaver is set for 5 minutes and more and more it is not coming on anymore. I have two active windows at the top and two neutral windows at the bottom. If I choose 1 minute it seems to work ok. Then when I put it back to 5 minutes it will work for awhile and stop again. So far I have restarted the computer which made no difference. I use my computer plugged in too.
How can I fix it please???
Thanks, Martha

Hi
If you're running windows 7, do the following by right clicking on windows desktop and choose personalize, on the right hand lower portion you see a screen saver word with a icon, click on it, next you would be given the option to select the display and set the wait time
Hope the above helps

Screen Saver - photos no longer available for screen saver

I had screen saver set up to display my photos. I can't remember if the photo's were pulled from Aperture or from MobileMe. Now I get a message that there are no photos in the folder or no pictures associated with the subscription (MobileMe). This seems to have happened after the 10.5.6 upgrade the other day.
Has anyone else lost their photos in screen saver with the 10.5.6 upgrade? How can I get these photos back?
Thanks

For the last one week, when i get the link from skype.com and drill through the link, it said "The mobile phone is not compatible". And i got the s60 symbian version's skype installable from my friend and tried t oinstall and use.
I received a warning message when i tried to install for compatibility check, i neglected and proceeded. I was not able to work with the installed one.
Finally and fortunately, ovi.nokia.com provided the compatibility version of skype which ia m using fine now.
Thanks for the reply,

How can i use iphoto pics on another mac across network for screen saver?

how can i use iphoto pics on another mac A across the home network for the screen saver on Mac B?
within iPhoto i can see the mac A's shared library AOK on Mac B but Mac A's library doesn't show up in the screen saver list on Mac B ;-(

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

HT204379 Why we can't use iPhoto pictures on screen saver anymore?

After years of using our personal pictures from iPhoto for our screen saver, our Mac won't let us choose iPhoto Library as our source for the screen saver anymore. Does anyone know why this happened? When I choose a folder, the iPhoto Library is dim and won't allow it as a selection. Photo Booth is an option, but not iPhoto Library. This has been our screen saver for years. I didn't change it and don't know why the change occurred. And now I can't figure out how to change it back.

Pictures in screen saver

i am using my pictures to create a screen saver. is there a way to adjust the timing between when each photo appears to make it shorter or longer?

My apologies for not being clear enough.
Let me rephrase the question. Imagine you take the ATV2 out of the box, plug it to the power and the TV (no network) and wait - screen saver kicks in. It displays photos someone at Apple decided to include in the software loaded into the ATV2 unit.
I would like to know if there is a way to replace those pictures with images I selected.
So again, I am not asking how to display pictures stored on external repository. I am asking if it is possible to REPLACE existing, standard, Apple-chosen pictures that come with ATV2 software, with different ones.
Hope that clears the confusion

Stream iphoto for screen saver

Is it possible to use your iphoto pics for the screen saver when ATV is set to stream?
My only options are: Apple Photos, Music Covers (only got that working once), My Photos (only works when syncing), MobileMe and Flickr.
This post has nothing to do with viewing my slideshow.
My wife going to kill me if I don't get this working! Please Help. XPLauzé

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
When you say stream, I assume you mean as a secondary library. Is there any particular reason why you are choosing to use a secondary library rather than a primary one.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

Can't select photos for Screen Saver in Preferences?

I have this problem on two Mac's running OS 10.4.11. I can't change/select the screen saver from the Preferences window. When I select Choose Folder and navigate to my iPhoto '08 Libraries, they are all grayed out. The screen saver that runs is the last Side Show I run in iPhoto. So I can only change the Screen saver from iPhoto by selecting a different iPhoto Library and running a slide show with those pictures. Then the newly selected library (albums, etc.) shows up in the Screen Saver selection window below the gray line. Am I doing something wrong? Is there perhaps some preference file that needs to be deleted to reset things?

Hello,
It might just be a corrupted preference file, try this: Locate this file: com.apple.iphoto.plist
It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Macs will create new ones for you.
Also, if that doesn't do the trick, try moving the photos you'd like to use into your Pictures folder, not using your iPhoto libraries. That way when you "Choose Folder" .. select your Pictures folder in the Sidebar in your Finder window and see if those photos are available.
