    the MacOS photos screensavers no longer let you skip through photos....is there a fix for this?

    Recently I noticed that the MacOS (Mojave) Photos Screensaver no longer lets you skip through photos anymore (forwards or backwards.) Is there a fix for this? I think it happened after update 10.14.2

    Apple TV landscape photos for Mac

    I've been searching for the black and white landscapes available as a screensaver for Apple TV, but all I can find are the aerial videos. Has anyone managed to extract the photos screensavers from the Apple TV somehow? The National Geographic ones are available on the Mac, but not the landscapes.

    High Sierra Screensaver / Hot Corners bug?

    I've had my mac set to sleep my display ever since I got my first iMac - this let me keep my iMac running so my webserver was accessible from elsewhere without keeping the screen illuminated when it wasn't being actively used in person. Normally I had the lower right and left hot corners set to...

    Only ON/OFF key can interrupt Screensaver. Glitch?

    Hi there folks, 1st post here: I used to be able to interrupt the screensaver (and go to the log-in screen) by touching any key. Now, however; I have to touch the On/Off key, or the screensaver will just ignore me. Is this a glitch in High Sierra? (for reference, my MBA is 5,5 years old)...

    Where Are Screensaver Photos Stored?

    I have an early 2015 MacBook Air. When I first got the machine and set it up, I elected to use my photographs as the screensaver. I suppose I stored them all in Photos, the photo app with this machine. Over the years I have fiddled with the photos, and recently reintroduced my originals from...

    I'm at my wits end. I have set the screensaver never to come on and the screen never to go off, yet after a wee while the bugger comes on, the obnoxious colourful fluffy wavie one. It only started a day or so ago. I have read previous posts but I can't make head nor tail of it. I'm running...

    Screensaver behavior in High Sierra

    My macbook air no longer wakes (while the screensaver is on) from a keystroke or mouse/trackpad movement, only a mouse or trackpad CLICK. Is this normal behavior for High Sierra?

    New ATV Screensavers?

    Noticed a new beach screensaver today, appears to be Santa Monica Pier? Also, a new Dubai day scene. Maybe more, probably some new night scenes I would guess.
