zikman Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have installed Leopard 10.5.0 and i am experiencing the following problem. The screensaver wont start after idle time i set.. No matter how much i wait the screen saver doesnt start! In order to start i must first logout from session and login again. After that the screen saver starts after idle time limit without a problem... Please help me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambomb Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 First thing I did was delete all the screensaver files in/Users/(your username)/Library/Preferences/ByHost. Be extra careful with the files you remove, make sure they are only screensaver files. Next I went into a Terminal and entered sudo nano /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/EngineDefaults.plist There I edited the value under the key "idleTime" to whatever time I want the screensaver to start. Remember to put your time in seconds (ex I wanted it to start after 3 minutes so I put 180). I saved and exited the terminal. Next I used OSX86 Tools to repair permissions and etc and rebooted. From that point on screensaver has been working. if this helps you then please pm me with a way to use my wep key when i log onto my wireless without security it works and when i use a wep key it says incorrect password when I go to connect and I know for a fact it is the correct pass so please help me Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
