Camera works fine; won't take screenshots or save emailed photos to Camera Roll

I can't make my iPhone 5c (IOS 7) save emailed photos or take screenshots. When I take a screenshot, the screen blinks like it's supposed to, but nothing shows up in my camera roll. Same with saving emailed pictures. Tried restarting and resetting; didn't find a relevant post on the forum. Could someone help?

I did exactly as you suggested and the phone froze up and acted really funky. So I did a normal power cycle after your maneuver and viola! The camera snapped away click - click - click!!!! Thank you for the help -- as an embedded hardware engineer I wonder what has gone awry with the software.
As I like to say (usually surrounding some goofiness with Windows) "somewhere there is a software engineer responsible for my misery."
Thanks again.

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so
they are at least two versions old.
Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many
other products on the market which do a much better job of creating
and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop
up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away
from them.
Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space.

I'm on a mac and I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space. I've tried 3 times to set them up, but I keep getting the "almost full" message every night.

Can you tell us exactly what the "almost full" message says? Is it referring to your mailbox (ie, email server space), or your hard drive?
If your email server is almost full, you can store folders and messages on your Mac. In Mail, go to the Mailbox menu, click New Mailbox, and choose the location "On My Mac". Then drag folders into that new mailbox to move them to your local computer, and off the email server.
If your hard drive is full, this won't help, and you need a different approach.

Take screenshot and saves the image to a PNG file

Hello,
How can I take screenshot and save the image to a PNG file?
thanks,
Avivit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

this is a quite reproducible problem. Some more clarification on my part might help:
I have a loop that contains, among other this, (1) a sub-VI that prints-screen and saves as a png and (2) a sub-VI that emails me the png file as an attachment. The 1st sub-VI simply uses the user32.dll to simulate a print-screen key stroke, calls clipbpard get image, and then formats and saves the image to a png file using the built-in VI write-to-png. This loop should update this same png file, because the path does not change. However, I've noticed that while the loop is running the png file does not update. It simply keeps sending the 1st image it took. The image updates if the VI stops and is run again. I assumed the problem was either with the clipboard not updating or the file not writing.
I think the png file remains open while the main VI (i.e. this loop) runs because I cannot delete the file while the VI is running, only once it stops or is quit. Windows gives me an error that the file is currently in use by labview. Therefore, I think the file is not updated because it remains open.
I've attached the print screen VI. Feel free to stick it in a loop and give it a try if you don't spot something obviously wrong. I did not include the main-VI that I actually use since it contains a lot of instrument I/O, which would prevent someone testing the VI.

Gnome 3.4.1 Print Screen won't take screenshots.

I've updated to Gnome 3.4, and now the Print Screen key doesn't work.
If I press the key, the desktop blanks and I hear the shutter sound, but the screenshot dialog won't show up.
If I open the Screenshot tool, and press Take Screenshot, it blanks and plays the shutter sound, and the dialog appears.
So far, I can save the screenshot to the clipboard using Ctrl + Print
Any help?

IPod touch 4g won't take screenshot

I just bought mine today, and I've tried pressing the hold and home button at the same time, but I still can't take a screenshot. Any suggestions?

Nevermind, I just figured it out lol

Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
What is the "hold" button? The Users Guide says:
"Take a screenshot: Quickly press and release the On/Off Sleep/Wake and Home
buttons at the same time. A flash of the screen lets you know the screenshot was
taken. The screenshot is added to the Camera Roll album. "
The On/Off Sleep/Wake button is on the top left of the iPod.

Just set up our Apple TV and it works fine for NetFlix. However want to stream photos and I Tune library from home computer but this computer accesses the internet thru a VPR at my wife's place of enployment. Other than a 2nd computer any suggestions?R

Just set up Apple TV on home network. Works fine for NetFlix but we can't stream I Tune libruary or digital photos thru it to our home TV as because of my wife's work we bypass COX and access the internet thru a VPN offered by her employer. Was told we either have to buy a second computer (two expensive for just these two functions) or keep turning on and off the VPN(not practical). Any other ideas? Thanks

Does she need to access the internet through her employer, or is she just trying to access her internal network at work?
If it's the latter, split-stream VPN clients (like Cisco AnyConnect) will split traffic so that only that directed at a particlar domain gets tunneled.
I have an AnyConnect client at home, but I normally only activate it when I'm using it, so I've never tested it with HomeSharing. I'm currently traveling, but when I get home tomorrow, I'll try it out and let you know if it works. If it does, your wife can check with her employer to see if she can configure AnyConnect to work with them.

I have 4 email accts, all but one work fine, the main one doesn't receive emails that are sent to me at all? Any idea what went wrong?

After the download, I began entering my email accounts manually. The first one "[email protected]" doesn't appear to be working properly. Emails that my friends have sent to me are not being received, test emails I have sent from my office are not geting to me either.
I have looked at the setups for the other 3 accounts and all are the same as the first, so why is this happening?? Hopefully, when you send me an answer, I will get it???
Thanks,
Ron

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Eudora won't launch when trying to email photos within iphoto

I use to be able to click on my photos and then on the email icon at the bottom and it would open Eudora with my photos attached. Now it just asks me the size and it starts to resize the photos, but never opens Eudora. I was also having problems with photos appearing as ! so I rebuild my library. Solved the ! problem, but did not solve my Eudora and email problem.

TD
I FOUND IT. I had gone into the iphoto library and actually changed the name of the photo the first time. I laster found that that did not change the name in iphoto and once I found that I never gave it another thought that I may have messed up the link. iphoto could not find the photos. Once I changed them back I was able to email just fine. This was all my doing.
Thanks so much for you help!
