How do I get Monterey screensaver to show the mat-geo photos.
MacBook Air
I had the issue where I had the screensaver checked, activating after 10 minutes of non-use. Despite my screensaver choice, I had the warning triangle with the exclamation point and my screensaver did not kick in.
I went into Preferences/Energy Saver and saw that I had set the display to turn off after 5 minutes. When I changed this to a timeframe longer than 10 minutes, My screensaver options were once again available.
So, it appears your screensaver activation time cannot be longer than your monitor shut-off time (at least for me).
I have the same problem here, but only on my Intel iMac. The M1 doesn't have this problem.
It's also not working if you select Photo Library, WhatsApp or Colors..
Still did not work. And when one of the settings (origami) showed the pics I wanted, it STILL went to black. There is clearly a bug that needs to be fixed.
Same issue here. What does Apple say? This seems to be a widespread issue with Monterey update . . .
After upgrading to macOS 12.0.1 my screen saver using my photo library not work. When start screen saver change black screen with clock.
Yes, exactly, I have the same problem since the upgrade on both my iMac 2015 and MacBook Pro 2016.
I can't choose ANY photos to work as a screensaver.

I have a M1 mini and M1 MBA with Monterey and I can access my photo albums when using screensaver (except scrapbook). I wonder if there is some file conflict for people that are having this issue.
Is Apple ever going to fix this? This might be the last straw. I'm going shopping for a Windows based machine.
You'd really change and downgrade hardware over a screensaver?
I am disgusted with the OS 12.0.1Screensaver which will NOT show jpegs or jpgs, no matter what I do with my Intel iMac. Please fix this very inconsiderate mistake NOW.

Probably not but there’s other things that drive me crazy. Only been a Mac user for about 6 years. I do realize Windows isn’t what it used to be. It’s just aggravating sometimes.
What I'd like to know is why only on imac's???? Seems to be ok on macbook's so I read.
Hope this going to be fixed so we can enjoy all our photos as a screensaver.

Not just iMac. An issue on a 2016 MacBook Pro as well.
