Where did my beach screensaver go?

Sorry, but I have the installers for the last four OSs. Never know when the Cupertino folks screw something up and you need to revert or recover. You could always go into recovery mode and reinstall the OS.

Wait what? I'm really confused by what you're saying baltwo.

Restoring the OS should put those onto your machine.

I still don't get it. What do you mean by "restoring the OS"?

Puts down all new OS X components, leaving everything else in place. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718

Do I really have to get so complicated and those and install OS X just to restore the screensaver? If you have the beach screensaver images, do you mind if you upload all of them here? I think it would be much simpler and easier this way.

This forum isn't for file sharing.

Are you really so selfish? Wow...

We've given you various methods to recover the screensaver. Complicated or not, that's what it's going to take.

I installed the OS to my Macintosh HD disk, but then what do I do?

See Old Toad's post on page one.

It's illegal to redistribute those files, however harmless that may seem since you own a license for the older OS, and is therefore against forum rules. If you want to ask anyway, you have to ask somewhere else. As a general rule on all computer systems, you should keep a backup of older OSs just in case. My Mountain Lion backup saved me when I updated to Mavericks and realized it was horrible.

I redownloaded the OS, but now where is the installer, or how do I retrieve the file? I'm sorry I'm not really good with those technical stuff.

If you downloaded the installer and didn't run it, it resides in the Applications and is labeled Install OS X Mavericks.app. Open it with Pacifist and extract as described in my earlier post.

I even reinstalled it today, and this is what I see:
