  • Screen saver won’t stay off

    Posted by George Strother on April 7, 2006 at 4:45 pm

    My drives, system, monitors and screen saver are set to NEVER, but the screen saver won’t stay off.

    When it comes on during an FCP or Motion render, it sometimes freezes or crashes the Mac. I end up with a screen saver, no mouse and no keyboard. The only way I can get back into the Mac is to hold the power button. Then, of couse, the render is gone. For long renders I have to stay at the computer, moving the mouse. This is a major pita at 2 am.

    I have formatted the drive and done a clean install up to 10.4.5, FCP 5 suite, etc., no help.

    I’ve posted to Apple OSX forums without luck. Several people there report having the problem, but have not listed their full system setup. I thought it might be an FPC related issue. Guess not if I’m the only one.

    I tried creating a new user acount as suggested on the Apple forum, no luck. I’ve tried a complete format and clean install, no luck. Apple and Tooltech

    Pro 4 show all hardware is OK. System specs are in my profile.

    Still getting a screen saver after 10 -15 minutes, even while rendering FCP or Motion. Moving the mouse prevents the screensaver from comming on.

    Anyone know how to fix this?
