Screen capture not working.

For well over two years now by screen capture function does not work, the screen cross hair or full screen capture icons appear but after selection nothing shows on the desktop... Can someone help? I have upgraded several OS versions in this time. I've had a look through some forum answers but can't find a fix so opening this as a new discussion.

Hey... I was plugged into my 24" monitor and after unplugging it... everything works as normal... kinda weird... any other thoughts?

  • Screen Capture not working after upgrade to Yosemite

    I have Yosemite OS X 10.10.1 and since my upgrade from Mavericks I have not been able to perform any sort of screen capture. I have tried Command+Shift+4 and Command+Shift+3 and neither of those work. There is no camera shutter noise made and no files saved to desktop or elsewhere when I try these commands. I could use the commands just fine on Mavericks to capture the screen. Anyone have any help on this?

    Do you have Dropbox installed? If so, go to the menu bar, select it, hit the gear at the bottom right, and then Preferences/Import/Screenshots - make sure the box isn't checked.
    You can also make sure they are set to go to your Desktop.

  • Screen Capture Not Working Properly Since Upgrade

    The following keyboard shortcut does not work on my laptop:
    Command + Shift + 4 + Spacebar
    When I have an external monitor connected, in mirrored mode, it doesn't work. If I disconnect the monitor or change the monitor arrangement into extended mode, it works fine. All the other shortcuts (e.g. CmdShift3) work fine.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    OK, I've got a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 card and two displays: an Apple 30" and a very old Apple 23" Cinema Display. The latter is attached using the very expensive Apple converter. I just put them into mirror mode and CommandShift+4Spacebar worked fine. If someone at Apple tried to duplicate the problem with whatever hardware they had on hand and got the same result I just did (namely it works), then they would conclude there is no inherent bug in the OS regarding mirrored displays and screenshots. There are two other possiblities:
    1. Something is conflicting in your installation of the OS
    2. There is a bug in the OS, but only for some particular hardware configurations
    To eliminate the first possiblity the only thing that can work is for you to do a new installation of the OS on your hardware and see if the problem is still present. So in this case a re-install is not a frivolous suggestion.
    There is one other thing to try: create a new test user, leave it as Apple creates it, log into that account and try the screenshot shortcut. That will eliminate some peculiarity associated with your regular account. Of course, it doesn't eliminate the possiblity that something is wrong with the OS as installed, or that something you have installed that is available to all accounts is causing the problem.
    You might also try a Safe Mode boot. Problem is that disables everything not strictly necessary to run the computer, and I'm not sure whether the extension(s) necessary for dual displays and screenshots would work correctly, but it is certainly worth a try. Hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime, and wait until you see the login screen with the "Safe Mode" message (the boot will take longer than usual). Login and see how (or if) things work.

  • Screen capture not working right in 10.6.2

    Since installing 10.6.2, screen capture of a window puts a black border around the captured window instead of the shadow. Any idea's why?

    there have been many posts about this. could be a bug.

    you can try a few things suggested in those threads. first, go to the directory homefodler/library/preferences and delete the files com.apple.systemuiserver and com.apple.screencapture.plist. (the second file may not exists) and run the following terminal command
    killall SystemUIServer
    try taking a screencapture again. if that does not help install Onyx
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    and use the parameters tab to either turn off the shadow in screenshots or change the image format used for screencaptures to png.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S-Pen screen capture not working after Lollipop Update

    Really annoyed that I updated! It's been a pain in the a**, and more trouble then it's worth! Most annoying thing of all is the spen no longer does screenshots!!!
    Anyone???
    Or give me another way to screenshot??

    I'm really sorry I updated as well. You have other options for screenshot:
    - Press and hold the power button at the same time for a second or two
    or
    - When you remove your s-pen and the wheel appears, you can click on the
    2nd icon from the right
    My preferred method is still using the button on the pen and I'm
    exceptionally annoyed this is no longer working.

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

    You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

  • I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and the whole touch screen is not working.

    I have a 32gb ipod which I bought for fifty dollars and when i bought it had a pretty baddly cracked screen but thing is it worked fine. Every part of the screen worked fine; it was as senstive where the screen was cracked as the areas of the screen that were not cracked. I dropped it a couple times from like two or three feet on two a hard wood floor about four times all it did was make the cracks on the screen a little worse. Then one day I dropped it from about a foot and now the whole touch screen is not working does anyone know why this is. They told me at the ipod store to get a new one would be 130 to trade mine in. But the thing is I very mechanically inclined and I am very good with electrionics; I was planing on buying the glass for fifty bucks and putting it on myself because I read how to do it and I am more then capapble of doing it. But now since the touch screen is now working; do I need a new screen along with a new glass? See the thing is because I think both those part cost 120 together. Which would not be worth me doing that when I can go to the ipod store and they would trade me a new one for 130 bucks. But the issue is, they told me at the ipod store they would have to look and see how damaged the ipod is to see if they will exchange it. My screen is severly cracked; also I have a dent that is a half inch long and 1/8th inch deep in the back of my ipod and its very scracthed up; do you thing an ipod store would exchange it in the condition it is in. Also has anybody had this problem before and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take it apart and fix it my self without buying any new parts.

    If I were you, I would pay the $130 for a replacement. Then you can be sure that it has all the working parts it needs.

    Dear all,
    I had the same issue with my nokia 5800, finally I found very interesting thing, I have been doing everything to bring my phone back to original  condition where simply I can touch and access the phone.
    Actually the issue was with the thin plastic piece which was put on the touch screen for its protection. I was struggling to touch and access the phone but i coudnt for almost 2 weeks, it was directing me to bottom left corner touch buttons of the phone and automatically opens and activate functional which I didn't want.
    Solution was, I simply removed the thin plastic layer from the phone , Now it works fine.
    Hope this will help.

  • I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
    As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

  • Image capture not working in lion

    Well! After 10 years or so of OS X my Kodak DC 5000 no longer works in image capture after upgrading to OS X Lion. After connecting the camera and trying to import images, Image Capture says "no device connected".
    Went to the loca shop and using the same camera and cable, successfully imported picts to the desktop under Snow lepard, so I know it's not the camera or cable. Been a mac user for decades! never had a problem with "plug and play" until this update!
    Do I need to get a card reader now? New camera? Not happening as long as this one works(ed). Already lost Photoshop, but didn't mind as I bought Pixelmator. However, the Image Capture not working is a showstopper. Is this Apple's version of Vista? Help please!

    Yes, I have iPhoto 9.1.5, I also used the prefs and this still is not working. The upgrade to OS X Lion broke my driver and I am not able to do transfer any pics from the camera.
    I assume I will now need to buy a card reader.
