No, I’m fairly new to the Mac. This is my first one after 20ish years on PC.
Can you direct me to a how-to or something online so I can follow it tomorrow?
Ah; best thing to do is drop a note in the Apple Support Forum.
Personally, I haven’t used a screensaver in over a decade; I just have energy saver settings set to turn the screen off after 3 minutes of inactivity; separately, I set it to require login after 5 minutes.
Oooh ok! I’ll do that.
Well, my display won’t turn off like it used to either.
Hmm… that’s odd. Definitely worth checking the system log, but you may not be able to tell much from that.
Are you using the new huge built in Screensavers that you have to download first, and if so which one?
That was the issue! I changed it to a basic SS and it’s working again! Thank you :)
I wonder what could possibly be up with that one. They haven't fixed it yet because apple, but what is wrong with it?
I wish they fix it, it’s such a cool screensaver.
Yeah, the old school Mac one. Looks like e-ink.
That one fails constantly on my M4 Pro Mini. Honestly glad it's not just me.
Oh wow, that’s good to know. I’ll change up my screensaver and see if that fixes my issue.
