Monterey screensaver not working
How do I get Monterey screensaver to show the mat-geo photos.
MacBook Air
Have no issue on my Mini or MBA M1 with Monterey except the scrapbook pane. All others work fine.
Question marked as
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).

As I recall the M1 Macs has less issues than the Intel Macs.
We don't know when the fix will be release but it will be with a system update.
Tried it…still no go but thanks for trying :)
Trying to use photos from my photo library
I'm having the same issue.
Same issue here, if there's an attached monitor to my Macbook Pro 16-inch 2019. However, if without any external monitors, screensaver "Ken Burns" is working fine.
Not sure if this would install the folder:
Upgraded from Big Slur to Monterey, now photo screen saver is no longer working. Please send the fix so I can see my grandchildren photos on the screen saver again. Thank you!
See possible solution above
Well I looked for that folder or set of files and I don’t have them so no solution for me but glad it’s working for others
You would need to install the iLife media browser using the link above and see if that file gets installed.
Same problem. Same screensaver photos I was using until the update. Checked settings and they are correct, but screensaver photos never start. Black screen.
I just get a black screen since the upgrade.
Agreed that Apple needs to fix this among other issues. Where can I find the iLife folder mentioned to fix the screensaver issue?
