To restore your previous screensaver on a Mac, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Open the “System Preferences” by clicking on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and selecting “System Preferences” from the drop-down menu.
2. In the System Preferences window, locate and click on the “Desktop & Screen Saver” icon. It is usually located in the top row of icons.
3. Once you’re in the Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, make sure you are on the “Desktop” tab. This tab allows you to customize your desktop wallpaper and screensaver settings.
4. Scroll through the list of available desktop backgrounds until you find the image you previously used as your wallpaper. The images are displayed as thumbnails, making it easier to browse through them.
5. Once you locate the desired image, click on it to select it. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through the images.
6. Once the image is selected, it will be set as your desktop background immediately. You can now close the System Preferences window, and your previous screensaver will be restored.
It’s worth noting that if you can’t find your previous screensaver image in the Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, it might have been deleted or moved from its original location. In that case, you may need to locate the image file manually or choose a different screensaver option from the available list.
In my personal experience, I have often changed my desktop wallpaper to give my Mac a fresh new look. However, there have been times when I wanted to go back to a previous wallpaper that I really liked. Following the steps mentioned above has always helped me easily restore my previous screensaver without any hassle.
To summarize, restoring your previous screensaver on a Mac involves accessing the System Preferences, navigating to the Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, selecting the desired image from the thumbnails, and setting it as your desktop background.
