wallpaper issues with OS14

Just downloaded OS14 Sonoma but cannot get the wallpaper photos from all Photos to change every minute or any other time interval. Clicked on 'all photos' with the two swirrling arrows and selected 'every minute' and random but it does not work. I love this feature but this current issue makes me regret the move to OS 14. HELP!

iMac 24″, macOS 14.0

Hello bsa45acp,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. To help troubleshoot this behavior, we recommend to restart your Mac in safe mode. Once the Mac is in safe mode, please restart it as normal and test to see if you continue to experience the same behavior. If needed, here's how to restart a Mac in safe mode:


Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > Shut Down.
2. Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.
3. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
4. Select a volume.
5. Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
6. The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode
1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
2. Log in to your Mac.
3. You might be asked to log in again.
4. On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

Following these steps may help as it clears out some system caches and more. This information is outlined here: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


Kind regards.
