screensaver will not access iPhoto.Desktop does. I can only use the computer supplied screensavers.

Hi John,

Your Screensaver tab doesn't look like this?

Cheers,

GB

Update to the latest version of iPhoto in the App Store.

I am unable to access my iPhoto images for screensaver.

iPhoto images and screensavers are 2 different type of files. Screensaver files must be .saver files which look like this:

You will need to convert your iPhoto images to .saver files.

Screen Saver, when I click on any of the images called "slideshows", System Preferences crashes (rainbow pizza) and becomes "unresponsive". I have to use force quit to close it.

Hold down the option key>Finder>Go>Library>Preferences. Trash the following .plist files:

com.apple.systempreferences

com.apple.desktop

Restart your computer and empty the trash.

First follow the instructions in this support article:

System Preferences stops responding after viewing Desktop & Screen Saver pane

If there's no change, continue as below.

In the Finder, hold down the option key and select

Go ▹ Library

from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:

Caches/com.apple.systempreferences

and move the following item to the Desktop:

Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

Resolving software problems takes patience. Do you want to continue?

Back up all data.

Triple-click the line below to select it:

~/Library/Preferences/ByHost

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services ▹ Open

from the contextual menu.* A folder window should open. Inside the folder there should be one or more files with a long name that begins in "com.apple.screensaver". Move all those files to the Desktop. Try again to open the preference pane. If it works now, you can delete the files you moved and recreate the screen saver settings. Otherwise put the files back where they were and post your results.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

Go ▹ Go to Folder...

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Including from your HOME Preferences folder which I mapped for you? Did you also trash the other plist files I previously mentioned from your HOME Preferences folder? The only ones you mentioned were from your mapping above.

I mean, try to open System Preferences.
