Mac screen saver cosmos password#
However, it's kind of annoying since you have to logout and relogin again (to log in as root, just log out, type "root" as the username, and the root password in the password field, and then just drag your files directly into this folder using the GUI, and then rename them to the needed filename).Ħ. Root access is actually easier because you can use the GUI this way to just drag them into the folder, and not having permissions problems. If you want to do this, open the terminal. However, moving items TO the folder DOES require root/terminal access.
just copy them to your desired target folder. Creating a custom slide show by using those pictures does not require using the Terminal. For example, if the last cosmos picture is named 'Cosmos10.jpg', then you should name your files 'Cosmos11.jpg', 'Cosmos12.jpg' etc., without the single quotes, of course.ĥ. Looking at the naming system of the jpg files, name your files in the same way, starting with the lowest positive number that is not used. For purposes of ease, it is easier to rename the files FIRST before moving them, if you're going to do it via the terminal. Note the naming system of the jpg files.Ĥb. However, to add pictures, it's simply a matter of putting them in this folder and renaming them to the next number up (I didn't check to see if the name change was necessary). At this point, you could just copy those files to the desktop and then just create a custom slide show. Inside here, you should see the jpg files that comprise the screen saver. Open the folder called "Contents" in the window that appears. Highlight your choice, control-click on the saver's icon, and select 'Open Package Contents' in the contextual menu.Ĥ. Choose the saver that you want to add pictures to: you can only add them to the Abstract, Beach, Cosmos, or Forest savers.ģ. Here you should find all of the built-in screensavers except for the Slide Show and Basic ones.Ģ. I will also use the 'sudo' command instead of the 'su' command, so that you don't accidentally do something that you don't want to do (believe me, I've erased my whole OS X system folder with a single mistake and the hitting of a return).Ĭomputername/OSXvolumename/System/Library/Screen Savers Then follow steps 1-4.) I should also note that if you DO use the root user, you need to enable it via the NetInfo Manager application - for instructions, just reply back, or pm me. (To log in as root, log out of your current user, then type in "root" as the username, and the root password as the password. However I will include the way to do it with the Terminal here.
I should note that it is much easier to do this by logging in as a root user, and then doing all of this via the Finder GUI. Here's a little tutorial to add your own picture to an Apple screensaver.
