MacBook Pro :: Desktop & Screensaver Preferences Missing
Mar 3, 2012I bought my MacBook Pro in 2009. My desktop and screensaver preferences were working and then all of a sudden disappeared (after a year or so).I've read a lot about re-installing Mac OS X and a lot of other tricks. Can someone tell me which one is the most reliable and least risky? I'm not very tech-savy and worried that somehow some of my other applications or options will disappear.
Until now I have been changing my desktop pictures using iPhoto or by right-clicking on a picture in the internet.

Mar 24, 2009Problem :
When i open up "desktop and screensaver" menu, it always open screensaver by default. It is a bit annoying to me, simply because i never use the screensaver.
And i remember a time when Desktop was always the first screen by default.
It pisses me off and i'm seriously thinking of reinstalling Mac OS X...(ok, just kiddin! :P)
Anyway, if someone have a solution to this simple and little thing, i would gave him all my gratitude and even pay him a beer in the afterlife. (You may have to remind me though)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Desktop & Screensaver Won't Store Changes
Jun 8, 2012My Desktop & Screensaver preference pane (Lion 10.7.4) is not storing changes to the "Folders" section.
I added folders under "Folders" and later deleted the folders from my hard drive. The Desktop & Screensaver preference pane turned these folders into "ghost" folders.
So now I have several ghost folders under "Folders" in the Desktop tab of my Desktop & Screensaver preference pane. I can highlight each ghost folder and click the "-" button to delete it, but when I relaunch Desktop & Screensaver they return. Also, I can add new folders to the "Folders" section, but when I relaunch Desktop & Screensaver, they aren't there anymore.

OS X :: Missing Desktop Screensaver In System Preferences?
Jan 27, 2008Using 10.5.1, no problem up until now (new 2.8 iMac). Working all day with Adobe Lightroom 1.3.1, again, no prior problems.The computer froze, which I noted when the screensaver when I left to go eat dinner stayed static without fading out to a new picture. After force quitting and restarting, I went to the System Prefs and when I went to the Desktop/Screensaver section, I got a blank window. I confirmed all the other System Prefs icons work fine. It's as if the Desktop/Screensaver settings are erased/gone/whatever.

Sep 29, 2009I recently saw a pretty neat screensaver where the fish actually swim around and thought it looked kind of cool. Anyone know where to get FREE screensavers or desktop backgrounds like this?? I've searched google for a while and kept coming across pay sites or foolish links. I was hoping someone would know where to get something like this or if they currently have one??

View 5 Replies View RelatedOS X :: How To Delete Picture Folders From Desktop And Screensaver Preferences
Dec 14, 2009I was cleaning up some of the unused pictures that came pre-installed with Leopard on my iMac, such as the abstracts and solid colours, that are used for changing the desktop backgrounds; but after getting rid of the original pictures and folders I am still left with the folders as being able to be selected when I try to change a desktop background.
I can't use the minus sign to remove the folders from the list.
Is there some other way of removing the folders?
It's not really a big deal, but it is kind of annoying having empty folders showing up on the list.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Intel Mac :: Dock Spaces Desktop Picture Screensaver All Crashed And Won't Work
May 21, 2012The Dock doesn't appear. Spaces is greyed out and won't stay enabled. Desktop picture cannot be selected (stays standard blue screen). Screensaver does not work and cannot set hot corner.
I have deleted the dock plists, restarted, repaired permissions, updated to 10.6.8, restarted again. Still no dock, no Spaces, no desktop picture change, no screensaver.
How did this begin? I had lots of large-memory apps running (eg. Photoshop, Garageband, Pages, Audacity, etc) and then there was a freeze, I can't remember which app – probably Photoshop) and I had to shutdown using the on/off button.
After that startup, all the problems were present. :-( (I've looked at related Dock-crash posts here: I do not have installed: Parallels; Fusion.)

Software :: Frozen Desktop - Finder Not Responding
Mar 4, 2009When i log onto my old eMac under my profile, it loads the wallpaper and the toolbar but nothing else. Whenever the mouse passes over the desktop itself, it just turns into that little pinwheel that signifies a problem. Whenever I try to use Finder, it locks the computer up completely. All applications on the toolbar work, including firefox and iTunes, but since Finder is broken I can't use things like external drives. Is there any way to get my computer to halt whatever process is confusing my poor finder without hurting my iTunes?

Mar 17, 2010I recall that, in Leopard, you could use TinkerTool in order to set a screensaver as your wallpaper. In Snow Leopard, however, it seems as if that option has disappeared. I have tried to use Wallsaver, but moving windows around or doing something dynamic on your computer causes the screensaver to flash or distort. Does anyone know of a good way to set a screensaver as your background without any interruptions? I don't care if the utility or application allows you to select a different screensaver than the one in System Preferences.

Mar 23, 2012My screensaver keeps turning on very quickly, even when I'm in the middle of using it. I can be typing a sentence in Word and it'll try to go to the screensaver. The screen will go black, but as soon as I type something it goes back to a regular screen. The preferences have the screensaver coming on after 15 minutes. I don't understand what's going on. The only thing I can think of is that I recently installed Air Display which is used to make my ipad an extra monitor, but turning the application off doesn't solve the problem. Also, there's nothing in the preferences for the application about screensavers.
