Why wont screen saver resize my picture in iso 7

Hi have a favourite picture i wish to use as a sreen saver but when i try to resize it it just springs back to original size and is too big for screen i cannot crop it as the two people on picture are sat about a foot apart why is this happening and how do i cure the problem

If you really like the picture, i suggest you put it on your computer, Instead of cropping it, open it with paint or something and give it a large boarder for cropping; i provided an example:
After this: You can insert it back into your phone and crop it to however you like. For some reason all the photos are FIT to SCREEN on io7. it even happends with my ipad, This is the only way i've countered the problem.

Screen Saver Built in Pictures are Low Res

I just purchased this 30" Cinema Display. Really like it a lot. I wanted to use the Beach or Forest screen saver. All the pictures are low res. Is there a way to get HD picts to replace those for a great looking screen saver. The originals are very grainy. I didn't install the software in the box as I don't believe with the new systems you need to. I am hooking it up to a MacBook Pro.
Thanks in Advance.

The size of the photographs used in the Beach, Forest, Cosmos, etc., slideSavers is 1024*768 and is obviously so on my 23" ACD, let alone a 30".
Interface Lift has some great hi-res wallpapers.
In the past, I've copied the Beach.slideSaver (/System/Library/Screen Savers) to the desktop, right clicked on the copy to "Show Package Contents", burrowed down to "Resources" to find the photos, trashed those jpegs and replaced them with my own. You can rename the slideSaver to *.slideSaver, copy it back to the folder from whence it came (authenticate) and/or to /Library/Screen Savers and you now have hi-res slideSavers of your choice.

Why does screen saver prompt for secure disk image password?

Okay, seems like an odd problem, but here it goes.
I go into System Preferences->Dektop & Screen Saver. As the program "loads" availabe image sources and such I get a pop-up requesting a password to my secure disk image.
Yes, I have a secure disk image in my home directory.
Yes, the secure disk image is currently "locked" (Not mounted in finder).
I click cancel (a few times, probably 2 maybe 3 times) and things continue along fine.
I select a photo source that I want for a screen save and exit peferences.
I then go an start the screen saver (I'm using Hot-Corners).
I get the message "Looking for pictures....." for , well...basically forever...
Sure enough I touch the mouse to leave my screen saver and there is the pop-up again. Asking for me to unlock my secure
disk image.
I thought this might be related to Spotlight. I tried reading several threads and have gone as far as taking my entire hard-drive/volume
and putting it into the "Privacy" tab under spotlight.
Anybody have any idea on what is going on and how I might get it so the "Desktop & Screen Saver" stop prompting me to unlock my
secure disk image? (WITHOUT having to make sure the disk image is unlocked before I sleep my screen or open the screen saver utlity)
As always, I am only speculating that this is Spotlight related so that could be a red-herring....
thanks in advance.

Update: i made some progress on this issue. I found that in the ~/picture/iPhot Library/Database/ directory
there is a file called Library.apdb. This file has an entry for the secure disk image i have/had. I moved the file
to Libraryapdb.bkup and sure enough, my picture problem went away. The screen aaver panel no longer prompts
me to unlock my secure disk image.
So now the next chapter of my problem;when i open up iPhoto it wants to rebuild my photo library(which makes
sense and is what i want to haopen) so i allow it. After about 25 mins it has rebuilt the iPhoto library, but there is
one problem. The secure diskimage reference is back in the Library.apdb file that has been recreated!
So now i need to figure outnhow to get iPhoto to remove anynreference to a phot library i once had on the secure
disk image but have long since removed.
I first created an iPhoto library on my secure disk image by holding the option key and invoking iPhoto.
I removed that library awhile ago....
So how do i make iPhoto remove a no longer used iPhoto library?

How can I change my screen saver to one picture instead of collage

Screen saver includes wiered pictures?

About every 10th picture or so on my screen saver includes a wiered colorful graphic on top of the photo. Its never in the same spot and covers about 20% of the photo. Its random and oddly the graphics lool like flags or gems. When I view the same photo in iphot the graphic is not on the photo. Any ideas if this is some sort of virus?

Turns out the wierd pictures are actually iChat Icons from the folder /Library/Application Support/ Apple/iChat Icons. How the heck does that happen when I have identified iPhoto as my source for the screen saver?

Screen saver images over pictures

I have a couple of questions. When my Mac goes to the screen saver mode it uses random photo's from iPhoto. Occasionally some design, maybe a smiley face, a heart, or something, will be over top of the photo. Any idea's as to how to get rid of these?
My other question is about the same screen saver mode. I have photos coming up that I have deleted from my albums but they still appear on the screen saver.
Thanks for any help,
Jim

I am having the same problem. So far, the superimposed flags and faces are endless.
I sure do hope there is a solution. This is not a new problem to the imac. In a google search, someone was describing this same thing a couple of years ago. Any help is appreciated!

Why wont Firefox save my password exemptions?

Firefox asks if I want the password remembered every time I log into Yahoo mail . I always click on "Never for this Site". The exemption is saved in the exemptions list but cleared when Firefox closes. I go through the same process everytime I open Firefox and check my Yahoo Mail.
Passwords is unchecked in "Options, Privacy, Settings for Clearing History"?

Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

Why does my screen saver say "no photos" when they are definately there?

I just downloaded the latest OS update and my screen saver no longer works. When i go into system preferences and set up the folder to use for the picture slide show--it gives me an error that there are "no photos". But I have triple-checked and the photos are in fact there. Why doesnt screen saver see them??

UPDATE: I spoke with Apple and there is NO fix. I've set up my photos in a hierarchy as follows
Pictures FolderSlide Show Pictures Folder
Sub folder jpegs
Sub folder with jpegs
sub-folder with jpegs
Everytime i have a new batch of photos worthy of the slide show--i add a new sub-folder. This worked perfectly fine with the old OS but does not work with Mountain Lion. According to the Apple support tech i spoke with, Mountain Lion does not support going into that level of sub-folder. Essentially it is seeing the "Slide Show Pictures folder" but all it sees are the next level of sub-fodlers themselves--it cant go into the next level to see the actual photos. Sounds pretty stupid if you ask me

Edited pictures not showing in screen saver

I have a lot of pictures in my Picture Folder. I have my screen saver set for Picture Folder. And all the pictures do show up when the screen saver is running. But those pictures that were originally taken in landscape format but later converted and saved in portrait format still appear in landscape mode -- that is, on their side -- in the screen saver. How can that happen?
I have gone through every picture in the Picture Folder to make sure that each is properly oriented and saved in that orientation. Yet they still appear on their side in the screen saver (though they appear normally in Preview). What's going on here? And how do I fix it?

I have edited some photos (crop and/or colour
adustments). Although the thumbnail is still visible,
it will not load in full screen mode - I'll only see
a gree square with an explanation mark.
Even more annoying, a photo book I'd ordered came
with grey spaces: again the thumbnail appeared
allright, but if I click to view the page I get this
screen picture holder. I'll have to ask for a
reimbursement, but in the mean time, I'd like to know
what to do.
thanks in advance
I'm having some trouble posting. Sorry for my last post with only original message showing and my comments missing.
I am having trouble with full screen also but not quite the same. I cannot get a previosly edited photo to show full size on the full screen. It only transfers in the same small size as it is in the Library source screen even though I clk on the preference for "edit in full screen." Any idea what is wrong?

Apple TV 2.0 - Old screen saver no longer works-scrolling multiple pictures

Does anybody know if it is possible to activate the old screen saver. The old that creates a nice scrolling mosaic. Or is it gone forever, really like that one. Several people told it is still there but it doesn't work for me, after 2 minutes the traditional screen saver appears where there is one picture for the entire display.
I'm referring to the old one that has multiple pictures of varying sizes scrolling on the screen at differing speeds.
Thanks.
Lloyd

I must be missing something. If I go to settings/screen saver/photos I have one directory that is selected. When the screen saver starts it shows one picture at a time from that directory and then the next picture, but the screen saver with multiple pictures scrolling at the same time doesn't work for me, just the screen saver I described. Am I missing something?

IPhoto Album pictures differ in Screen Saver selection

When selecting an iPhoto Album as a Screen Saver, the Preview picture pane often displays pictures in other albums. Also, in certain albums, only one picture in that album displays continuously.
I hope this problem is fixable.
Thanks for your help!

Hello Albert & Welcome to Discussions,
Very simple fix. Go to SystemPreferences>Desktop & ScreenSavers.
Once there click Screen Savers and uncheck, Use random screen saver.
Now click "Choose a folder" and select the folder you want to use for your screen saver. Now, click Options and make any changes you want.
Now, after all that is done go back to Desktop and make sure you choose the same folder you're using for screen saver and let it create the photos. Then,
click on any image and a pull down menu will appear that allows you to make changes to the way the pictures appear on the desk top...ie Full Screen, tile and so on.
Hope this helps.

My MacBook Air screen saver isn't working?

A few weeks ago I bought my first MacBook air (13 inch).
I was setting up my desktop and screen saver settings, and selected "Vintage Prints" for my screen saver, using some pictures from iPhoto as the images to be displayed. I selected the screen saver to start after 5 minutes. However, after 5 minutes of my laptop being left untouched, the screen just goes black. If I hit a few random keys, it will turn back on again, I type in my passcode and continue using my computer as normal, but I don't want a plain black screen, I want my Vintage Prints screen saver. If you know anything I've done wrong, a setting I forgot to click or why my laptop has this problem, please let me know!

The Display sleep time is found in Energy Saver. That's the period of inactivity after which the screen goes black.

Screen Saver Does Not Work: Starts then Stops

My screen saver has recently stopped working within the Mac OS 10.5.8. I was using the default screen savers available within the iMac (i.e. either My Pictures or Beach, etc.). What has been happening is that the screen saver will start for about 1-2 seconds and then simply go back to the desktop. It will continue to do this in the interval specified in the system preferences (i.e. 5 min). The "test" works as well as if I set a hot corner to be a screen saver. Any ideas as to why the screen saver doesn't stay on when it starts automatically?

I have had the same issue. It only began after a software update. I reset the preferences and it's still happening. Any suggestions?

Screen saver no longer respects iPhoto albums in 10.4.8?

System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver -> Screen Saver offers a list of iPhoto albums. It used to be that the screen saver would display pictures from the selected album only. But now all my iPhoto pictures are rotated through the screen saver, regardless of album selection. The only thing I've changed AFAIK is the 10.4.8 upgrade. Any way to get the old behavior back?
(I've found other posts about problems with iPhoto and screen saver, but nothing addressing this precise problem.)
PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPhoto 2.0.1

I just tried it, having also just updated (in fact I did about 12 updates all at once, including QuickTime, iPhoto 6.05 as well as the system update) and it worked as expected, just cycling thru the photos in the selected album.
I have seen cases in earlier versions of iPhoto and the OS where the screensaver wouldn't work when using System Prefs, but would it you selected it in iPhoto. Don't remember how the earlier version of iPhoto worked (I think there was a button in the toolbar at the bottom of iPhoto), the way it works in iPhoto 6 is very weird: you select an album, then select the photos, then go to the Share menu and select Desktop. It plasters all the photos onto your Desktop and launches the System Prefs where you can set the options for the Screensaver. You'll notice that instead of an album being selected there is a new folder in the top section called "iPhoto Selection." I then switched my Desktop back to its usual neutral gray and screensaver remained as I had set it. Truly goofy, but it might be worth a try.
