My RSS Visualizer screen saver no longer displays 'Press the 1 key...', 'Press the 2 key...' etc below each headline like it used to. It's simply missing, but everything else works fine.
I actually use that feature to read the NY Times headlines, so I'd like to get it back. I searched for other people with the problem and found nothing. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz, 4gb RAM, pre-unibody, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
I have the same problem but in Lion. It was working fine until about week or two ago.
Yes, this started maybe a week or two ago for me as well. I'm at my work iMac now, same problem on Lion, OS X 10.7.4.
UPDATE: I trashed the com.apple.screensaver.plist in the Library, emptied the trash, and rebooted my computer. The 'Press the 1 key...', ' Press the 2 key...' etc came back!
To find the Library folder: in Finder, Option-click on the Go Menu and Library will be in the dropdown. Good luck!
OK, as someone who is new to Macs, it still took me a while to find the file. They are in the Preferences folder of the Library. (Didn't know about the Option Click in the Go menu; thanks.)
Also, just to see if it would work, I didn't empty the trash or reboot. Simply deleting the file and letting the computer recreate it did the trick. Problem solved!
Oops, you're right, forgot to mention that it's in your home folder, then Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
Glad it all worked out! 🙂
This worked for me, too. Thanks!
Hello, I'm also on 10.7.4 and have the same problems, which started when I updated to Safari 6.0 (7536.25). I tried the "com.apple.screensaver.plist" dump, but mine was in the library/preferences folder, and it still didn't help. Also, I noticed that when I go into OPTIONS from the SYSPREFS/Desktop & Screen Saver, for the RSS FEED, there's only the Apple Hot News; CNN, NYT, Bloomberg, etc, have disappeared.
Also, and I'm not sure if this is related, my delete button, which I used to use to navigate backwards in Safari, no longer works...(?)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
