New iMac with Mojave won't let me use the Photos library for my screensaver. It's grayed out. I tried to reset the permissions, but that didn't work. The new iMac was set up with a back-up from my old iMac's My Book Time Machine.
iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14
Try setting your Pictures folder to these permissions:
Me = R/W
admin = R/W (I had to add this to mine)
everyone = R/W
If that doesn't help you can reset it back to what it was.
Is your Photos Library your System Photo Library? If you open the Photos > Preferences > General for your main Photos Library, the option "Use as System Photo Library" should be dimmed, to show that the library is your System Photo Library. Only the System Photos Library is visible in the Media Browser and can be used by the screen saver.
It worked! Thank you so much.
Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me, but a follow-up response from leonie managed to solve my problem. Thank you for responding to my question.
You're welcome, cynsha 😊
