Ventura 13.3 broke my screensaver--
Upgraded last night. Now screen saver won't appear on the main display, just on the extended display. After a while, the words "No Picture" appear on the main display.

I hope that all of us experiencing this (I am too - using a Mac Studio I either get no photos on the screensaver, or only on one of my 3 monitors - since updating to Ventura 13.3) have reported it to Apple so they can sort it with the next update.
I has the exact same issue. MBP updated to 13.3 and Fliqlo now does exactly what yours shows, though I have LG 27". I even deleted the older Fliqlo and installed the new version. It worked when I hit "preview", but after that it does not. Some of the built in Apple screensavers are also not showing on both monitors, so maybe it is Apple's fault.
Hi at all,
Exactly the same for me too with this update, but maybe can help developer with this trick, for me it work, first enable where you want in a corner mouse the way to launch your screensaver. then restart your Mac, when the desktop just appear, GO FAST in the corner to launch your screensaver, and, like a miracle it work in both screens like before, disable it and relaunch it, it doesn't work anymore, need to restart again to see my screensaver in 2 screens lol... sad life... so what I thinking there is a buggy processus at start-up who make this sh..
Same issue. Updated to 13.3 and now my screensaver doesn't work properly, just as described by others. If I unplug my two external monitors it works just fine. Once I plug in both external monitors it only works on the last plugged in display. Ugh.
same issue on my iMac - Ventura 13.3 has broken my screen saver. Photos show up on external monitor, but the built-in display shows "no photos"
Hopefully this has enough momentum behind it to be addressed quickly.
Same nonsense for me as well thanks to updating to Ventura 13.3 this morning. As soon as my screensavers began I saw the "No Photos" on my secondary monitor. Wonder how long it will take for them to fix something they obviously broke with the update. Thanks Apple, real quality tested update you released to the public, smh.
I have tried the Safe Boot and have even reinstalled Ventura from the Recovery Mode. The issues, as I understand them, are that my external monitor no longer shows in Screensaver Settings, but does under Wallpaper Settings. Secondly, using the Activity Monitor, I noted that, after leaving the screensaver mode "iLife Slideshows (Screensaver)" is shown as an activity for a few seconds, then disappears. It is activated by "Launchd" when I mouse over to the hot corner to activate the screensaver. The screensavers are controlled on my iMac under Ventura/System/Library/Screensavers. That folder is protected within the System, so I can't use Time Machine to replace it with a previous working folder.
I read all the other comments concerning this fault after the update to Ventura 13.3, all happening with external monitors. So I don't feel alone. If I disconnect my 27 inch AOC external monitor, the problem goes away and the iMac shows my photos just fine. I wrote up a bug report and anticipate there will eventually be a fix, just as there was previously with Big Sur.
My external monitor is connected via a Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable. I have found that to use TimeMachine to recover files, I have to disconnect or switch off the external monitor. That may be the source of the problem.
So now, my photos are shown as Wallpaper and iTunes/Music Albums are shown as a Screensaver. Such is life.
I'm having a similar problem. I have a 3-monitor 27" iMac 2020. Electric sheep screensaver used to play on all three. After updating to 13.3, the monitors all go blank and the screensaver never plays.
I have the same problem, except that on my external monitor, the screen saver works perfectly. iMac screen is black but secondary screen has my photos floating by.
Me too. Mac Studio, Ventura 13.3, Studio Display, and a ViewSonic 32" additional monitor. Selecting a file of photos and invoking screen saver either via the Control Panel or Corner Hot Point blackens the Studio Display while the ViewSonic displays the contents of the folder. Once the randomize kicks in, the Studio Display show "No Photo".
Interestingly, if I repeatedly invoke the screen saver via Hot Corner, after three or four attempts, the Studio Display shows the contents of the folder. It might take several attempts to invoke.
Initially, I had a flicker issue with the ViewSonic but may have resolved that after much effort.
2019 iMac and 27" AOC monitor here as well, screensaver will show up on the external but not the iMac, the Apple provided screensavers are working fine. So it seems like whatever they did, it broke the 3rd party screensavers.
I'm using the Apple screen saver, which is only displaying on the external monitor and not on the iMac display. The Apple screen saver is broken for me.
Yesterday my screensaver worked as expected. Only once. It only worked normally this one time since the Ventura update.
Earlier and later in the day, it had the shown the previously mentioned malfunction. It was not after a boot or in safe mode.
I haven't found a way to make a screensaver work as expected since this Ventura update.
I am seeing the same problem in two different M1 MacBook Pros (one a work machine) since 13.3. Whenever they are connected to an external monitor, it was refusing to show photos on that monitor. This happens with any of the photo-display screensavers that I tried (flip-up, Ken Burns. Photo Mobile, Photo Wall etc).
By experimenting a bit, I discovered that whichever monitor is the designated the “Main Display” will refuse to show photos, and show the “no photos“ message. The clock, however, appears just fine on that monitor, when that option is enabled. The “Extended Display” shows photos just fine, even when switched to the other monitor.
I was able to work around the problem by changing the refresh rate of the MacBook ”Built-in Display” to anything other than”ProMotion.”
System Settings > Displays > Built-in Display > Refresh rate > [select something other than ProMotion]
Yes I have the same problem. It is annoying since I have my large 4k display as the main display and all it says is "No Picture." I hope they fix it soon. Is there a way to file a bug on this?
