Mac OS Monterey - Screen Saver does not work for photos. Same on iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini
iMac 27″, macOS 11.2
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see which screensavers work or not. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
Same issue since updating to Monterey... wish I never updated. Was on phone for 2 hours and Apple couldn't fix it... Said they are working on it... (yeah right)
Same issue. Not good and locks up the computer and I have to cold boot it. Hours of hassle.
Ik heb het zelfde probleem!
iMac 27", Mac OS Mac S 12.0.1
Anybody know if a fix is on the way? I have disabled the screensaver for now. It's the only way to work. It seems that even using the standard Mac screensaver options, it fails.
Same here. I keep checking for an upgrade to the Monterey OS. Hopefully there will be one soon
Same problem.
my Mac will not even show aerial. The only thing that works is album artwork
It is now 12 Nov 2021 and still my 'fix' for this issue. Come on Apple . . get this fixed. WE WANT our photo screen savers!!!
I have this problem too
Monterey screensaver does not work on photos. I have this problem too
I have the same problem.
No pictures can be used with screensaver: black screen only.
Only the standard screensavers can be used and are working.
Any solutions yet or bug fix?
See my reply directly above your post.
Thank you!!!!!! Good to see that I am not the only one.
Seriously, still no fix?! I wouldn't have upgraded my OS if I had known this would break my photos screensaver...
Yes, it seems small but that's so annoying! Like a rock in your shoes.
For me it isn't! I still get a blank screen on my iMac with 12.1!
