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.

How to Set Up a Built


Turn on your Mac and click on the Photo Booth program icon on the desktop dock (menu bar). If you don't see Photo Booth on the dock, click on the hard drive icon, then click 'Applications' and look for it in the list of programs. Wait for the program to open on your desktop. All Macs with built-in webcams come with the Photo Booth program so it shouldn't matter what model Apple computer you are using.
Check the indicator light next to the camera at the top of your computer screen. If it is flashing green that means the camera is ready.
Choose an effect to add to the picture, if you like, by clicking the 'Effects' tab at the right of the screen. You can choose from a variety of colors and effects, such as 'Black and White,' 'Sepia' or even 'Comic Book.'
Situate yourself in front of the camera lens and frame yourself using the camera window. When you are ready to take the picture, find the camera icon in the center of the 'Photo Booth' window and click it. You can save the photo in a variety of places by clicking any one of the 'Save To' icons next to the camera icon in the Photo Booth program screen.

How to Find Your Stolen MacBook (4 Steps)


Log in to the iCloud website on any computer or download and install the Find My iPhone app on an iOS device, such as an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Both iCloud and Find My iPhone use your iCloud account, so it does not matter which solution you use. Log in using the same Apple ID and password associated with your MacBook.
Click the “Find My iPhone” button to see a list of devices associated with your account.
Look at the color of the dot displayed next to your MacBook on the list of devices. If it’s green, the Find My Mac service has located your MacBook.
Click your MacBook on the list of devices to display its last known location. Select “Map,” “Satellite” or “Hybrid” to adjust the type of map on your screen.
