How to choose photo album for screen saver?

Upgrade to El Capitan, and among the many things that have changed or disappeared is to select what iPhoto (Yes, I know now his Photo) album to use for the screen saver. Previously, I could choose the album that I wanted to, but now it seems that the only option is to all THE photos - which I don't want. I'm in the preferences > Desktop & Screensaver > screen saver > Source > Photos. Argh, this has been a most difficult OS upgrade.

I found - on the menu after selecting the Photos is a photo library option that led to which I could select the album drop-down Sources.

  • Photo Album using for screen saver

    I would like to use a photo album for my screensaver. I did it in the past with iPhotos and Photos.

    Using OS 10.11.16 on MacBook Air

    Photos 1.5

    I moved my old library of Photos on a hard drive that I needed storage space.

    Succeeded in creating a new photo library.

    Went in system preferences to set up the screen saver as I did in the past.

    Can 'see' the new photo library, but it is shaded on so I can't choose it as my screensaver.

    I opened and closed applications and restart the computer.

    I could choose a picture of pictures for my desktop image

    Have you turned on the photo library as your system library system in Photos preferences > general tab, after you have created the new photo library?

    "Use as a Photo library system" option should be grayed out in the Photos > Preferences > general, when you view the library you want to use for your saving screen and with other applications.  If 'Use as a Photo library system' is not grayed out, click it.  Then log market once again before trying to activate your album as a source of the screen saver.

    As a guess I think you need to import your iPhoto library in Photos and chose the photo library.

  • Why I can't run Photos as a screen saver in Windows 7 Pro? I get images of CATALYST and Microsoft Visual Studio. Is something wrong with these?

    (My computer is slow this morning.  When I moved the slider, he did not respond as usual and I frequently, in Word, backspaced erasing the words because the cursor is not at the right place.  In addition, the Internet Explorer changed slowly pages.)

    I decided to run the Photos as a screen saver; I have not used yet with Windows 7, but used my images frequently with Windows XP.  I chose Windows Photo Gallery, first of all, but nothing came, then I selected pictures.

    Four images came from the folder my pictures,

    then a big green arrow pointing to a component of the computer.

    the word, CATALYST and some images, I remember the Catalyst Control Center.

    Then a small image of a computer & CD,

    and then a symbol of infinity, then a blank image.

    a high with the words image, Microsoft Visual Studios then upward.

    Then another little computer component image and then a green animated work Windows image.

    I do need to update AMD Catalyst Control Center?

    I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x 64) on my computer.  It has something to do with the images?

  • How to choose an icon for a pinned tab?

    I created a two pinned tabs. We have a very generic icon and the other has no icon. How to choose an icon for the pinned tabs? Can it be done? Using a hack is fine too.

    You can probably do it with the code in the userChrome.css file.

    Here is an example that works for Gmail.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    #tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab[pinned][label^="Gmail"] .tab-icon-image {
     list-style-image: url("https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/favicon5.ico") !important;
    }
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    I want to change the screen saver, but whenever I click the setting button, I received the message: «this screen saver has no options that you can set»

    Although several screensavers just do one thing, some of them can be customized.  For example, '3D text' screen saver allows you to choose the text, the text color, size, etc.

    For most screen savers, just choose one from the drop-down list and then click 'OK' - not the button "settings".

  • Photo albums for iPhone synchronization

    Hi, I have a little problem... I always made photo albums and then synced via iTunes. But all of a sudden today, all the albums synced on my iPhone 6 was gone... he same photo stream.

    When I connected the phone and went to iTunes > and the photos selected, to check if I could choose the albums of synchronization, it is said that "iCloud Photos is on" and I don't have the possibility to choose albums I want to synchronize...

    Maybe I touched something in preferences or change something without knowing it, but does anyone know how to get to choose what photo albums to sync back?

    See picture for how my iTunes window now looks like...

    Here's my iCloud setup in preferences:

    And that's my iCloud on my iPhone:

    How can I fix? Thanks in advance :-)

    When you upgrade to iCloud photo library ON, you no longer control the albums must synchronize, because all the images will be synchronized.

    Same thing for my photo stream. This option could be duplicating what iCPL already.

    If you want to return to 'old', turn to iCloud library Photo OFF.

  • Satellite A100-496 - stream albums cover & screen saver does not work

    Hello

    I have an old 496 A100 and after the adventures with virus, I used a backup for windows vista 32-bit and just reinstalled drive.

    Now, however, the visuals are funny.
    On the whole it works, but what I see on the screen doesn't look quite right and some things do not work; as the flow of cover albums of itunes music or the screen saver (it indicates a need a video card more up-to-date, which is strange, because it worked before when I was with Windows xp.)

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello

    Hmm, that's really strange that it works correctly now. goto the driver toshiba page and update:

  • I use my photos as a screen saver file. I deleted some of my photo file, but the deleted photos still appear while the screen saver is running.

    How is the screen saver for the photos?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Note: files or images will be stored in the same C:\Windows\System32\PhotoScreensaver.scr file after the image is removed from the main location. This is the reason why the photos appear even after their removal. And once you navigate and new photos as your screensaver the old ones will be replaced automatically.

    See the link below to learn more about the Windows Photo Gallery:

  • How to import Photos album of iMovie.

    I used to be able to import a photo album in iMovie. I would like to edit my pictures, put in order in an album and then imported into iMovie. It was working fine! He kept the order too. Something has changed with the how they upgraded to the Photos and the new iMovie. Now that the easy process seems to be broken. Mac is known for that market. What has happened and is there a work around? So far, it seems to export to office and importation, losing all the work to order the photos in the photos app.   (I already tried to see how it works) I make the slide show of the graduation for the entry into force of the elders in our school. Moving images is not as easy to iMovie, make sure you can see the images and keep photos of student spread so a student does not seem too much time together is easy in Photos. Will this change?

    Correction: The first sentence should be - I used to be able to import an iPhoto album in iMovie. I don't think that I was able to import the Photos app.
