10.8.5 ScreenSaver Problems

I thought 10.8.5 would finally fix my screensaver, but on Sept. 17 my macbookpro screensaver failed to activate 3 times in one day.

It's been running fine ever since, but for how long?

By the way, the screensaver in my iMac has been running perfectly since the upgrade.


Anyone else having this problem?


There is a previous discussion related to this regarding 10.8.4:

Since that day (Sept. 17), the screensaver on my MacBookPro has been working perfectly.

I have no idea why the problem occurred. It is still running 10.8.5.


I also have an iMac that I recently upgraded to 10.9. It also experienced the same screensaver problem before and after the upgrade (Previously I said that the screensaver on the iMac was running fine with 10.8.5, but the problem occurred after that post.). After that, I used TimeMachine to revert back to 10.8.5. The problem persisted.

After talking to Apple Tech, on their advice, I reinstalled 10.9 and the screensaver problem has disappeared.

I will post here if any problems return.
