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.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.3
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]
That makes sense. I've been pushing my studio hard this week so I have been in the habit of shutting down every night. Thanks for sharing!
What is best way to get a complaint/suggestion to someone at Apple who will actually care?
Me too
Seriously, who has time to do a reinstall that might not even fix the problem, this is clearly a bug from the new update. Apple should please fix it.
This isn't limited to photo based screensavers, but screensavers in general I think. I'm not using a photos screensaver and I have this problem.
I agree. I tried all the other screensavers and none of them works. Not even the power management options like "turn display off" option is not working.
That is always how screen saver was, so that is not the problem...
Unbelievable. I thought I was The only one. NO SCREENSAVER ON PHOTOS! WORKING ON IT FOR DAYS! EXACT SAME PROBLEM.!! NOT ONLY ME!

Apple do you read this? So many people are upset about this. Please fix asap.
We all are annoyed at Apple
Yes I have the macbook Pro M2 14 inch and the same problem with my photos screen savor on the main screen.
Maybe for you, but all four of my monitors always appeared and I could set separate screensavers for each monitor. Now I only see one monitor in the settings.
how you do this? can you describe?
Do what?
to use for each display an extra screensaver - how to do this? how this works in ventura? when i use the "alt" key - nothing change or i get more options.....
Ventura 13.3 broke my screensaver--
