Downloaded full release of Sonoma this morning. Changing the wall paper in Settings does not work. Stuck with the Sonoma Vineyard scene it booted with after installing. Any ideas?

Mac mini, macOS 14.0
Wow. I created this thread almost a year ago and gave up trying to make it work - since the Apple wall papers and screen savers are nice anyway. But today I thought ... it must have been fixed by now. But NO. Apple still has the option to shuffle a Photos Album as wallpaper, and STILL it does not work. I generate bug reports on this and I assume others did too. Failure to address a bug like this for so long shows a pathetic lack of attention to customer issues and to detail.
The screen saver also doesn't work and displays no photos / I have only got the desktop to change photos by doing what the person said and click each photo even though I have over 400 its ridiculous !! If you don't do that it stays on the same photos and just rotates those over and over.
I tried the _click on the ones you want to shuffle, then click on the shuffle icon on the item below the folder's name__, and it appears to be working. The folder was constructed in Photos and downloaded to the desktop. The download worked, BUT it didn't place the downloads into a folder. I need to see what I did wrong there. There are only 35 photos so it was not a problem. I then told the wallpaper system setting to choose that folder, did the "click the shufflers" routine. I set it to cycle every minute, and it is. I will update you if something goes awry.
That is my problem. Only if I click through each photo in the album will it recycle. I have pictures of my now 47 yr old daughter - even if just using the baby pictures it would be some 200+ that I would need to click on. Does Apple ever talk to REAL PEOPLE over age 25 to see what we use?
I'm having the same problem with Sonoma 14.4 (it didn't happen until this update). I can choose one photo, but when I choose "All Photos" it goes back to the Apple vineyard. I miss my daily slide show!!
This fix makes no sense in mac iOS 14.4.1. there is no mission control. There is only control center that does not present any "space" to add or delete. ?? If your still attending to this issue please explain in more specific terms what your fix is . thanks
That is the work-around, not the solution. Sonoma broke the ability to randomize photos as Wallpaper in the Photos app of one of your selected albums. It only shows the Apple Vineyard photo. Previous versions of macOS let you choose an album in the Photos app (or iPhoto) and let you randomize that album as Wallpaper, without having to export your photos into a folder to choose as Wallpaper.
I noticed when changing that it took a bit of time for the wallpaper (at least the Landscape ones) to download after I clicked on them.
Update: it will change to other Apple wallpapers. It will also change to an individual image from Photos, but it will not change to shuffle a Photos album. Even after a restart.
I've also determined it's not a downloading issue, the same album runs as a screen saver just fine. Then fails again as a wallpaper
I have submitted a bug report to Apple, but that tends to be a bit of a write only memory. I guess it will get fixed eventually.
My iMac did initially change the wallpaper, but the next time I used the computer I had the black screen and I wasn’t able to change wallpaper to a photo of mine.
The download is a bit slow, probably due to all the upgrades now. There is a small progress wheel in the upper right corner of the wallpaper preview that will show download progress.
Same here. Tried a reboot but it did not work.
Same here. And it will NOT let me "download" the ones I like. It'll start and almost immediately stop and the download button will reappear. :(
This is all I get too, just the black screen. I hope they fix it soon, it is a bit depressing
Unable to change wallpaper on my Mac post Sonoma update
