Why is the screensaver stuck at "loading pictures" forever?

I have Aperture (latest version), with 80,000 photos, and Iphoto (latest version), with only 26 photos. I've checked permissions and repaired my drives from the repair partition. I've run Repair Permission, Repair Database, and Rebuild Database on Aperture, and Iphoto. I've deleted the screensaver plist file via
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
No luck - screensaver still takes forever to start, and I can't even change the screensaver settings - it's just hung at "loading photos". I'm on Mavericks now, but this has been happening since Mountain Lion I believe.
Anything else I can try?

If that does not work try here:

Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System Profile-"?

I'm trying to install Flash Catalyst Beta on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard).
The installer starts to work, but then it stops at the point where it checks the system profile (see attached screenshot). It doesn't seem to have crashed as the dock icon allows me to quit without force quitting the application.
I've tried it in my regular user account and the administrator account, but the behaviour is identical.
Any help would be appreciated.

I appreciate all your efforts, but I¹ve just received my new copy of CS5, so
I¹ll be installing the final version.

Subject: Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System
Profile…"?
Thanks Gary.
I need to ask you a few questions and request you to perform some more steps
so that I can debug your problem.
1. Have you modified any folder permissions, authorization setup using
Keychain Access utility (or any other tool)?
2. Open a Terminal window, and run the command 'ls -l /tmp' and copy-paste
the output printed on your screen in your reply.
3. Delete all files whose name start with 'asu' in your /tmp folder. Run the
command 'rm -rf /tmp/asu*'. Restart your machine.
4. Launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
5. Open the folder containing the Flash Catalyst setup. Browse to the
'packages' folder and rename the file 'install.sig' to 'update.sig'. Double
click and launch the Flash Catalyst setup. This will not install the
application but install the Adobe Application Manager. Let me know if you
see a small dialog with a progress bar. Rename back update.sig to
install.sig. Update us your observations. Continue to next step.
6. Launch 'Disk Utility' app (from /Applications/Utilities). Select your OS
partition in the left panel and click on 'First Aid' tab on the top. Click
on the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button at the bottom.
7. Again, launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
8. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the Flash
Catalyst setup. Run the command 'sudo Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install'
and enter the password. Let me know if the installer launches and on
following the screen instructions do you still see the error screen or does
the installation proceed successfully.

Why is the body of text a picture

Hello
Why is the body of text a picture after converting PDF to DOC?

Hi CrazyFred,
Have you tried triple-clicking in the Word document to select text? If that doesn't work, we'll want to take a closer look at how the original PDF was created, as that can have an affect on how well the PDF converts. Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community. If the PDF was created by a third-party PDF producer, it may not be well-written, and that can lead to conversion issues.
You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties when the PDF is open in Reader. The PDF Producer is listed on the Description tab.
Best,
Sara

Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days? I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.

Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days? I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.movie

It should not take more than 4 hr. Is there any indication it is making process? i.e. When you click on it to play do you get a message like "Will be avialable in 2hr 34 min"? Is that time changing? I would cancel the download. Restart ATV and then retry. If it goes more than 4hr then there is an issue.
As another option you can always download the movie to your computer and use the iTuens menus to play it from your computer under the Computers icon.

Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

Why do the Screensaver not show pictures from my Aperture Library?

Hello,
I have a new MacBook Retina and everything is fine, but the screensaver. When I choose a screensaver with photos (like Ken Burns) and an Aperture folder, the screensaver only shows "Fotos laden..." (German for "Loading pictures..."). When I choose the folder, I see all the pictures in the dialogue, but the saver itself don't shows them.
Using Aperture pictures for the desktop work by the way.
Any ideas? I already repaired (new database and stuff) the Aperture library, but it doen't helped.
One more hint: when I tried choosing an Aperture folder, the screensaver even don't work with the preinstalled pictures or normal picture folder on the HDD.
Thanks for helping me!

Connecting from one computer to another is one thing. The iTunes sharing feature is something completely different and is meant as a way for people to allow others to listen to their library from other computers on the same network that also run iTunes. It isn't meant as a direct connection from one iTunes library to another.
Think of it sort of like turning on the "Broadcast" or "Radio Station" feature of your iTunes to allow others to listen in on your library if they are interested. But you wouldn't want those people going in and making changes.

Where did the time display go and why is the screen stuck on master track? Thanks.

My time display disappeared and the screen is stuck on master track. Any ideas? Thanks.

If the GarageBand application window appears to be messed up, parts missing, or in the wrong place, it might be a problem of corrupted preferences files. Try to repair permissions and to remove the file "Your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist" from your user library.
See HangTime's fix for "oddball problems":
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#oddballprobs
(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
Is your profile signature "GarageBand '09, Mac OS X (10.5.8)" still current, John? If not, and you are now using Lion or Mt. Lion, the User Library will be hidden.
Then you can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove com.apple.garageband.plist.

Why is the Mac App Store loading the wrong Apple ID when I try to redownload my copy of Lion?

Pretext:
I purchased my MacBook Pro 17" Back in March of 2011 from MicroCenter in Madison Heights, MI. Later I purchase OS X Lion 10.7 from the Mac App Store on July 23rd, 2011 under my Account along with a couple of other programs. I know it is under my account because, I have redownloaded the OS X Lion Installer twice before (10.7.1 and 10.7.2), making my own bootable copies on USB drives as emergency copies.
Now my Apple ID has never changed, the password is still the same as when I set it up back when I signed up for my iTunes Music Store account, the only thing changed is my payment options (reissued debit cards, and a bank switch). The account has always been mine alone, never part of any family account or anything of the sort. Outside of that, nothing has ever been editted on my accounts.
Last month my father decides to finally update from his 2002 Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver) to a new MacBook Pro a month ago. I show him how to make a bootable USB stick so he can always have an immediate backup installer. Both him and I are on AT&T which likes to cap bandwidth so remote installs are an insane proposition. He makes his own bootable USB stick of 10.7.3., and in an effort to save bandwidth I borrow it and make a duplicate.
Now I did boot from the copy of the USB stick, but never installed, I just wanted to make sure it loaded just in case. Anyway, I quit of out the installer return to my usual start up disk (OCZ Vertex 3 120GB) and continue on. Eventually I download the 10.7.3 update through the System Update. All is well and fine. Couple weeks later, I decide to make another fully bootable USB stick, go to redownload from the App Store (new AT&T billing cycle) and now it is asking me for my father’s Apple ID and Password. It refuses to take my Apple ID and password and tells me there is an error and tells me to try again shortly.
So I turn on the Mac App Store Debug Menu, clear cookies, and reset the app. I try to redownload again, but his Apple ID is still on my machine. He has never used this machine, not once. How do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Why is the time in every official picture or video of an iDevice always 9:41 AM ?

I have seen in every official picture or video that the time is always 9:41 AM. I wonder what is the reason after this ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU

This must be a class assignment....

Why will the creative cloud not load or show up in the apps folder?

I tried to download the Creative Cloud for Desktop. It loaded up and then when I tried to go to the home or apps tab it would continue loading but never finish. After trying to connect it to the menu bar it just closed. I've tried uninstalling it multiple times and reinstalling it, but it installs differently each time with those consistent problems.

Is that not a way to relocate the files? In other words, I have 16,000 plus songs in iTunes and they are all playable. They must be on my external hard drive in the file I have named "Art's Music" (verified by the check you suggested in your first reply). Let's assume that I want to put them all on a different external hard drive (my C drive is not big enough). What steps should I use to relocate my entire library? The plan I had in mind was something I found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748
Is this going to work?
I am going to borrow a friend's unused hard drive for this and then put it back on my hard drve after I reformat it.

HELP! Why is the zoom feature resizing my pictures?

So having a blackberry has turned into a nightmare for me.
Backstory: I have the 8330... this is brand new, not even 30 days old. I had one before but Sprint felt I needed a sofware upgrade due to my phone resetting and they basically locked me out of the phone. How genuis??? So a week's worth of daily 20mile drives to Sprint's repair stores in a torrential downpour and I have a new phone.
ISSUE: When I take pictures on this blackberry and I zoom, my picture comes out very small online. the closer the zoom, the smaller the pic. how do I turn this off. This is the gripe of my life right now! It never happened on my old phone. allmy pics were large (per my setting).
Any insight on how i can fix this or should I return this blackberry too?

There's nothing wrong with your BlackBerry (or probably the other one, for that reason).
1. The higher the zoom level on your camera, the less data is captured by the camera.
That's just a basic of digital imaging. I'm in that business, I know. So, you zoom high, the camera sensors "consume" less data into the image.
2. Open your camera > Menu key > options and set the camera to take higher resolution, or superfine images. There should be two settings: Picture Size and Picture Quality. Set both to the highest setting.

Where is my 'open link in new tab' option when right-clinking a link? and... why does every page load twice? and... why do i get 'internet explorer cant open link' errors when using firefox? and... why doesnt the red 'x' stop load icon work anymore? i jus

i have all the issues stated in my question as of this morning. they werent there last night. WTF happened to my beloved firefox? BTW,
I got an amd dual core 4000, nvidia gtx 9800, 4 gigs ram, running on windows xp sp3.
BTW, windows updated last night, and thats when i got the problems
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; WWTClient2; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; Creative AutoUpdate v1.40.01)

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
