Top 8 Mac Screensavers
Hyperspace and Helios
The screensaver is nice, giving you the image of ultra high speed. However, They are quite heavy to be processed. They can be downloaded here for Hyperspace and here for Helios.
LotsaGlass
It can transform itself and it has many unique shapes. I really hope I can have a glass like this for real. You can get the screensaver here.
Electric Sheep
Download here.
Time Machine
As a clone of Time Machine animation, this screensaver gets many attention also. Download it here and drop it to your screensaver pane.
Let's fly! The screensaver can be downloaded here.
LotsaWater
If you haven't ever seen your Mac drowned in water, you can try this screensaver out. It gives the effect of your whole display being drowned! You can download it here.
Flurry
And still, Flurry is the best screensaver for Mac OS X.

You've forgot to include a link for the best screensaver for Mac OS X ;-)

The time machine one is great, and combined with Wall saver, I've now got it running as my desktop background :)

Flurry comes along MacOSX.... It doesn't need a download link

Maybe you could add www.screenspro.com to the list... this is a cool one.

Thank you for 'lotsofwater' screensaver, I really enjoy it, but when my screensaver comes on, a black screen display pops up.... not the original deskptop. How can i fix that?
Wendy
Hi diva, maybe you've accidentally set the "Dimming" adjustment to its lowest which blacken out the display, leaving the dropping water alone. Try to adjust the screensaver "Options" inside your Screensaver Preferences Pane. Hope it can be fix.

does these mac screensavers have a windows version? i have a windows port of flurry and it's awesome!!!

I'd like to also point you towards iSight Screensavers for Mac OS X which uses a you and a webcam to interact with a collection of effects from fire and water to particles and champagne. Have a look at http://majicjungle.com/screensavers.html

HI! I''ve downloaded lotsa water, lotsa glass and electric sheep but unable to use it as my screen saver. Can you please tell me how to install them. Thank you
Wendy
Hi, Aveline! Three of them have .saver files inside their package. That's the Mac specific file to run the screen saver. Double click on that item and your Mac will install the screen saver for you. If this cannot do, then you need to do a little work.
Open your System Preferences and then go to Desktop & Screen Saver. Under this pane, make sure you're inside Screen Saver section. Drag and drop .saver file to the preview pane. Your new screen saver should be installed by now. Hope this can help you.

How do i install .QTZ screensavers ?
Wendy
Once you drop the .qtz file to your Screen Saver Preferences Pane, it will be automatically installed and set as your screen saver.

Sickening and tiring to try and search for good desktop and screensavers for the MAC! MAC! MAC! MAC! Every place I go it starts for Mac and I end up at some junky windows only web place. I want some beautiful relaxing nature scenes, moving water falls, moving water, stars twinkling (not swirling fancy stuffs) Plenty for windows - for Mac - ZERO. Why? This 2008 already!
Jakers
I am having the same problem as divahomie with my lotsawater screen saver; however, I checked the dimmer and it is normal. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's very frustrating! Can anyone help me?
Wendy
Hi Jakers, have you tried my suggestion in comment #7 ? That should be the problem with the screensaver's default setting, try to adjust it a bit :)
Bethani
i had lotsawater and it just goes to the black screen with white.. and i didn't change anything.. what gives?
bm
is there way to choose random screen savers, but pick only certain ones? like say i want a certain 3 for my MBP to choose randomly from?
Mac357
Lotsawater.... v cool..!
fishthatswims
jakers & diva: maybe you have "custom image" selected, but have not chosen one...?
Jordon
the "LotsaWater" doesnt work for me, the screen goes black and the ripples go throo the black not my actual screen... also i am a gay lord.
Wendy
You can try to customize the screen saver using the Options… button. Should work fine after that :)
Kyle
For those having problems with the "LotsaWater" screen saver, you must go to system preferences>security and uncheck "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver."
bmcj199
it dosen't work in my mac but i like it is the mac in water
gill
best one is.... LOTS OF WATER, really cool, it's like crazy cool, you don't even realize it is a screen saver, cool, cool, cool!!

how do i chose the new screensaver i downloaded? I downloaded and now what? it's in the screensaver folder but my old screensaver is still coming up...
Michael
I am looking for a version of the flying icon screensaver that was in the original OS X 10.0. The screensaver uses any icon you have in your system.
Gavin
I have been using soundstream on my laptop for ages now, I love it. Its just like flurry but it reacts to sound, really cool
Christiaan
Hey Kyle, thanks for the solution to the black screen in Lotsawater! =)
Laracrof
For those using macbook pro unibody, u can just drag the .saver file directly in the system preference>screen saver black preview screen ..it will now work...i tweaked it a lot of times...but now it worked conveniently...
john falcon
hi ive downloaded the lotsawater screensaver, and installed it but cant find it in the screensaver files, its not in the options too.
Andy Cho

Mac does look like a fantastic tool to use for this type of thing. But I just can't use it naturally. Using a pc is easier for me. abs

These are good screensavers. Screensavers save monitors from dying early. They're a great cost saving tool for business. Invest in your marketing and sales strategy and become like Steve Jobs.

What I would not give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that arrive from nowhere that Im pretty certain Id have a fair shot. Your blog is fantastic visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this subject.
