I have a Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, early 2015 build) and its running Monterey 12.7.1. I want to use my photolibrary (titled MAIN.photolibrary) that is stored on an external hard drive. When I get that hard drive onto the folder section of the screensaver page and open the file...the photolibrary and imovie folders are not available (greyed out). Help please.

You may be have to set the library as your system library in the prefs of Photos.

• Open Photos Prefs
• Click on General
• If the "Use as System Library" is not grayed out click on it to set the library as the System library.

Try to set the screensaver again.

My processor speed dial doesn’t work!
Anyone else have this problem or is it unique to me. I have ver. 18.1.2 running on a M3 iMac.
Thanks, Ron…
