When my Mac goes to 'sleep,' screen blank, suddenly a small white message appears, "No photos." Twice now. What does it mean? All my photos are intact. Thanks.

The Mac has a built-in set of screensavers accessed by

System preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screensaver pane


You can set it to do pictures out of a folder or you can set it to do their things. You should deliberately set it to do something OTHER that pictures, and see if that solves the problem.


Also, that one picture you use for your desktop -- can you navigate to it with Finder, and are its permissions correct so that you can read it?
