Im looking for two screensavers, one being a fireplace and one an aquarium. They gotta be 3D and look rather realistic. I can only find crap or expensive stuff on google. I think I had the trial of the one on apple.com but the text running across kinda kills it.
View 7 RepliesAll of a sudden my iMac has just started not sleeping after the time its supposed to and the screensaver wont turn on when its supposed to. I havent installed any new software, its just happened out of the blue, I can still use hot corners to activate sleep and the screensaver but id rather have them activate by themselves. But they're not, and all of my System Preference's sleep and screensaver options are fine. Why wont my Mac sleep and/or turn on the screensaver after set times?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been using the [URL] Screensavers since my very first RevA MBA and I really like them. They protect the screen from keyboard scratches and indents and they're a cloth to wipe off any smudges. Sadly, the Radtech store doesn't yet have one for the 11.6 MBA and customer support didn't know when they would.
So I did a little measuring and ordered a custom sized one.
11"x7" (I picked the "grape" color)
And it fits perfectly. Exactly covers the keyboard and the trackpad, yet still lets the lid close just right.
So if anybody else can't wait, just order an 11"x7" custom.
(I'm not in any way affiliated with Radtech, I just love their products.)
It seems that all of the older screensavers I've tried in SL no longer work. The one I love, BlankScreen, which dims the monitor to a transparency that allows you to still see the desktop (and toggle the transparency amount) is one of them. My question is, will this be a matter of the app-maker updating the screensaver, or Apple updating SL to support these older screensavers? I ask because this one hasn't been updated for a few years now. Alternatively, does anyone know of another screensaver that does the same thing, that does work in SL? Is anyone here knowledgeable enough to be able to make a new screensaver that has the same functionality?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I noticed that my screensaver changed by itself. So I went to go change it and realized that the only screensavers I had were "Computer Name" and "Flurry". I know this is kind of a stupid question to ask but its bugging me.
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
It seems Snow Leopard breaks most of the 3rd party screensavers that are out there. How can I fix this? Can i run just the screensavers in 32 bit mode?
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust bought a new Macbook and everything's great except the screensaver facility. I'm primarily using the one that previews album covers from itunes, but it doesn't really matter which one I use. They all cancel themselves after a few seconds as though the trackpad's been activated, even though I'm nowhere near it.
I've obviously tried restarting to see if it makes a difference and it usually does for about an hour. The screensaver comes on and stays on. But I'll do some work and check it again later by activating a hot corner and it quits again after a few seconds like before.
This is hardly the end of the world, but it is pretty annoying. Anybody else had this happen on Snow Leopard and is there a way to fix it?
After updating to 10.7.4 & Safari 5.1.7 all my screensavers have disappered from System Prefrences. The Screensavers are still in their appropriate folders in "Finder" I have tried a few suggestion from other blogs but still no luck, hoping someone here can help.
Other but less important changes also occurred after the updates. 1) changed my (custom) log-in screen back to default. 2) removed "Library" from Finder ( I had Library in Finder via terminal command. 3) replaced my custom dock back to default dock.
I did some looking for it, but couldn't find a thing.
I'm wondering if there is any way that two screensavers can run independently on two monitors. So, if there is, drop me a line.
So when I had Leopard 10.5, I used to use Save Hollywood as my screensaver application. What that does is transform any video file that you have in a screensaver. After Snow Leopard came out, Save Hollywood no longer works... I don't know what else to do, that was a must have for me and it is starting to frustrate me. Is there any other software that would allow me to use a video file as a screensaver that would work on Snow Leopard. Has Apple fixed this issue on 10.6.3?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI keep finding that there is dust under my iMac screen. When I remove the glass planel to clean it and put it back, there is inevitably ALWAYS some dust that gets in between the second I wipe the screen and second I put it on. I've spent hours over the past few weeks doing this and it's driving me mad. All I want is a screen with no dust. I heard I can use canned air. If so, how exactly would I go about doing this? Spraying the canned air inside?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've only got 21 GB left on my iMac out of 639 GB or something (I save a LOT of videos and audios). My computer is running soooooo slow so I'm thinking that it's just got too much in there and too close to the max capacity to run faster. Am I right? Do I need to delete things or purge or what to free up storage?
I've already deleted a ton of files but I think they are saved in more than one place which means duplicate files all over the place I think? Not sure.
But I can't always save something to the folder I want to save it in, it goes in my downloads folder where then I have to move it to the appropriate folder to save in an organized manner. I've deleted most of my downloads folder and many videos but I'd rather save them somewhere instead and not just rely on YouTube to host and save them.
I have an online data backup system too, Carbonite, but I'm not sure I can save other things there that then are not still on my computer?
I could save things on a hard drive but will that really solve my sloooow computer running issues?
Not sure what to do?

So, I'm not really expecting this to actually work, but is anyone aware of any way I can use my 20" Mid-2007 iMac as a secondary monitor for my Mid-2009 MacBook Pro without any wires and for free?
I add for free because I heard something about a program called ScreenRecycler or something like that, which costs money and thus I am not interested.
I'm ordering a new iMac tomorrow. I'm a little worried about the inability to open the iMac up and clean any of the fan blades. I know the fan on my tower, the fan on my graphics card, even my ceiling fan gets dusts around here (2 dogs, SoCal dust etc). They require periodic cleaning or the gunk level gets....well....pretty gunky! Is there a filter of some kind that's easy to get to to keep the inside of my iMac nice and clean (read: cool)?

Question: Should I load the software on my new 2009 iMac, or pass on it? Free is great, but would it do more harm than good, such as slowing down my computer? FWIW, at the Apple store several employees told me neither they nor the store manager uses antivirus software on their personal macs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn view options I checked show item info, and I actually like this look a little better. But the info is incorrect, I have a 500 Gb HD partitioned to 430 for OS X and 70 for Win7. And that is exactly what it shows on the desktop, not the correct amount of free space, but the maximum capacity of the drive. I read one post that said to simply drag something into the drive, and it would re-register with the correct amount of space, tried it and needless to say it didn't work. So does anyone know how to make this work? I posted a screen to show you what I mean, but the image is so small I don't know if you will be able to see what I am talking about

View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday I apparently interrupted Disk Utility when it was erasing free space, which was far bigger than the used space on my beloved black Macbook. Apparently the free space, because the program was interrupted, is seen as one honking big file.
This morning, the disk utility tells me that I have zero free space. Verify says I do not need repair. I checked because of all my sudden problems (I am unable to save anything to the laptop, unable to cut-and-paste . . . and unable to erase free space again since there officially isn't any, etc.).
Trash is empty.
I tried (based on advice in another thread) to reboot with the installation disk so as to use its disk utility program, but the installation disk menu offers "install" etc. but not (as far as I can tell) just access to its disk utility.
I plugged in my Timemachine external drive [WD MyBook], but the most recent "save" there has the "restore" button greyed out. That's scary.
I'm willing to do a complete re-install if necessary, but I hope that one of you has a simpler solution that will simply get my free space back.
I have often heard that "free ram is bad ram" or "free ram is wasted ram", and this is particularly true in Mac OS X, and by extension iOS and Linux like OSs, yet it is not true of Windows (or is it?)
Why is it true of some OS's and not other OS's?
So what else can I do? Is there anything I should do to free up more RAM or something like that?
I did notice that when I'm offered the choice between HD and standard res... the standard res is watchable.... but still not perfect.
is there any Free Anivirus for MAC 10.4?
