How to Make a Screensaver for a Mac (5 Steps)


Open your finder by clicking on your hard drive icon. Click on 'Pictures,' open 'file' and click on 'New Folder.' 'Untitled folder' will appear under Pictures. Click on the folder and name it 'My Screen Saver.'
Drag as many photos and pictures that you would like to include in your screen saver to your new folder. If you would like the screen saver to play in a particular order, then arrange the photos from top to bottom in the folder according to the desired order (top photo is first); otherwise, the order does not matter.
Click on the Apple icon on the top left side of your screen. Click on 'System Preferences.' Click on 'Desktop and Screen savers.' Click on 'Screen Saver.' There will be a list of different folders under 'Screen Savers.' If your folder 'My Screen Saver' is not on the list, then click on the + button, and add that folder by clicking on 'Pictures' and then 'My Screen Saver.'
Click on 'My Screen Saver.' Your pictures should begin to show in the preview window. Below the preview window is a list of options you can use to customize your screen saver.
Adjust the 'Start screen saver' option by dragging the arrow to the appropriate length of inactivity needed for the screen saver to begin to play. Click on the 'Display Style' bar to select how you would like the pictures to be played (one after another, spinning in one after another, or beginning from one corner and showing the whole set). You can further customize your screen saver by selecting 'Options' and choosing 'random order,' 'cross-fade between slides,' 'zoom back and forth,' 'crop slides to fill screen' or 'keep sides centered.' Set your options and quit System Preferences.

Double-click 'Grab.'

How to Download Pictures to a Mac Computer


Hook up the USB download cable that came with the camera. Turn on the computer. Open iPhoto and plug the USB cable into one of the Mac's USB ports. Turn on the camera.
After a short period, iPhoto will open a dialog box with the camera's name. Type in the name of the roll of film, and if desired, a short description of that particular roll of film. Click the 'Import' button and the pictures will begin to download to your Mac.
Wait until all the pictures have been imported to the computer. Upon completion, find the 'Source' portion of iPhoto and click on the 'Eject' button. Turn the camera off and unplug the USB cable.
Locate the new pictures in the 'Source' section under 'Last Roll' or by the film roll name in the 'Library' section. Many Mac computers do not have media slots where the camera's memory card could be inserted. Continue to Step 5 if you do not have the USB cable for camera.
Ensure that the camera is turned off and remove the SD memory card. Open the flip top on the SD/USB flash drive and insert the SD card. Close the flip top and insert the flash drive into the Mac's USB port. Proceed as described in Step 2 and when download is complete, eject the flash drive and reinstall in the camera.
