When I open screen saver on system preferences and scribe down to select photos it fails to display list of photos on side bar for selection to my screen saver. all I get are the original selection provided with the computer.

Big Sur screen saver I have a new imac and since I upgraded to Big Sur the screensaver doesn't work. I use sliding photos with random photos from my library and nothing works. Is Apple going to post a patch to fix this??

Screen saver loads forever Thr System Preferences screen saver lists only Source when a photo screen saver selection is picked. The Source has only "Loading…" as an option. None of the folders I previously selected is listed. The Loading Photos… process goes on and on. I believe it is scanning every image in my Pictures folder. Quitting System Preferences didn't help. Any ideas?

screensaver issue First time on this forum. I'm running on a 2020 iMac 21" with 16GB of ram and a fusion drive and a MacBook Air (Retina, 13 inch, 2018). This problem happens on both systems. This issue happened with 11.0.1 and is still happening with 11.1. Since updating to Big Sur I find that about half the time I start Screensaver (using either a hot corner or letting the system time out) it can't find my Photos Library. I'm using the Classic screensaver. The screen goes black, the time is displayed and it says "Loading Photos...". After 10 to 15 seconds it will say "No photos". Move the mouse, sign back on, put the mouse in the corner and there's a good chance it will find the photos and start displaying them. Does anyone know anyway to increase the amount of time that Screensaver uses to find the library? Not the time between pics but the amount of time Screensaver is given to locate the Library. Is this a known bug or just my system? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
