Can't find my screen shots that use to show up on the desktop

Hello all.
Since installing the new update of 10.4.4 when I take a screen shot with either the apple+ shift+ 3 or +4 the camera shutter sounds but the file is not to be found ? any help ?
thanks.

Hey Guys,
I was having the same problem and even though none of you mention having used a utility like Tinker Tools or Onyx to modify the screenshot file type, that's exactly what was causing the problem for me.
I'd used Tinker Tools to change the screenshot to a .psd - resetting everything back to the default settings (in Tinker Tool) and then logging out and back in again repaired the problem... in so much as the screen shots work again (the are .pngs again) and appear on the desktop as they should.
If you've used TT or Onyx (or some other method) to change your screen shot file format you may want to enable invisible items in the finder and delete all the 'misfires' that have been created there - I found quite a few invisible (broken) screen shots on my desktop with names like: .Picture 1.psd-shytk and .Picture 1.psd-hdfl (all with random junk at the end of the file name).
Hope this helps out.

I keep taking screen shots but they dont show up on my desktop and i dont know how to find them

helppp
i keep talking screen shots but they dont show up on my desktop and i dont know how to find them!

I have the same problem. One of the reliable things about Apple OSX, that we could count on screenshots being simple. Then DropBox came along. I suspect DropBox is the culprit here. I don't mind, even am grateful if DB captures my captures, but who gave them permission to totally changes my whole universe!!?

I can't find a plug in that i downloaded and put in the library/audio file when I'm in garage band

I can't find a plug in that i downloaded and put in the library/audio file when I'm in garage band?

In GarageBand 10.0 and GarageBand '11 are the plugins (Audio Units) installed in
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
What is the GarageBand version? Not all plug-ins are compatible with the newest version GarageBand 10.0
The version number is shown in the "About panel" in the main menu bar: GarageBand > About GarageBand
If you are having the newest GarageBand 10.0, the Audio Units will show in the panel in the Smart Controls of the Track you selected.
Scroll the "Info" pane down all the way or enlarge the Smart Controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the track area upward, until you see theAudio Unit Brick.
Most panes in GarageBand 10.0 can be scrolled. If you do not see the scroll bars, they will appear automatically, when yous start scrolling. Or enable them permanently in the System Preferences > General > Scroll Bars. This is useful, as long as you do not know yet, which panes have hidden items that will need scrolling, to make them visible.
The Smart Controls need to be enabled in GarageBand Preferences >Audio Midi.
Some Audio Unit plug-ins will no longer work, since the new GarageBand 10.0 is a 64-bit only application; the 32-bit plug-ins are incompatible.
See this document: GarageBand for Mac (v10.0): Unexpected behavior with Audio Units plug-ins

Is there any way programmatically to disable the screen shot capture using Home power button in the iPad device?

Hi Team,
Is there any way programmatically to disable the screen shot capture using Home + power button in the iPad device.We need to avoid the screen capture option due to security reason.

Hi Peace, Clyde,
Thanks for information. Using the API UIApplicationUserDidTakeScreenhotNotification (iOS7) send the notification after the screenshot taken. Using this api is it possible to block the screen shot caputure option.
Thanks and Regards,

How do I find a purchased app that is not showing up in the purchases tab?

I am trying to help a friend install OS X 10.8. She purchased it about 3 months ago but wasn't too sure about installing it. Today, I looked up the order number, and it is confirmed that it has been electronically delivered via e-mail. I couldn't find an e-mail with a link to the purchase, so I assumed it would be in her purchases page in the Mac App Store; however, when I visited her purchases page, it has no record of any purchases. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can locate it, or who I should contact to receive help with this?

It sounds like she may be using a different account then the one that was used to purchase 10.8
If you cannot locate the purchase, contact the iTunes Store so they can help you figure out which account it's attached to.

Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?

How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?
Thanks.

Do you mean you want it saved with the resolution set to something other than 72 dpi when the capture is made, or do you mean you want your capture saved at a higher resolution than the captured area?
1) If the first, there are ways to change the default capture format .png to something else, such as .jpg, .tif and a few others, but as far as I know, the resolution will always be 72 dpi. You can use Preview to change the resolution of the captured image under Tools > Adjust Size. You will get this:
If your intention is to set the resolution for professional printing defaults, then change the resolution to 300. Turn off Resample image to prevent the image from actually having more pixels added. The resolution will simply be reset from 72 to 300 dpi without changing the actual number of pixels in the image. It will also print a lot smaller since the output device will now use 300 pixels per linear inch instead of 72.
Leave Resample image on if you need to maintain the dimensions. Be aware however that scaling the image (resampling) will add a lot more pixels to the image than are there to maintain size. Expect the image to get very soft and pixelated looking when adding 417% more data to the image than it currently has.
2) If you mean you want the OS to actually save the captured area as a high resolution image at size, that can't happen. A capture is a 1:1 grab of the display buffer. It can only capture what's there. So if you capture a 700 pixel x 500 pixel area, that's all the bigger it can be without scaling it afterwards.

Can not find some messages in Mail using search

I have some problems with Mail.app I can not find some messages in Mail using search, the strange thing is that sometimes mail search finds some messages, but after rebuilding spotlight index the search displays other messages with the all messages searched using same search criteria. I have also tried to delete Envelope index file from the Mail folder in usr/library and forced mail to import all mailboxes but it started to crash importing some of mailboxes - I deleted the messages from that mailboxes, imported remaining mailboxes and tried to rebuild mailbox, but everything without a successes. Any ideas how to solve it?

Siri can't find music unless I enable use cellular data for Music

I have an iPhone 4S with the latest IOS. I ask Siri to play music but "she" can't find it unless I "enable" Use Cellular Data for Music.
As soon as I enabled this setting in the Settings -> Cellular section Siri could find and play the music.
I certainly don't understand why this is happening. Why isn't Siri able to just find what is local to my iPhone and play the music.
Can someone enlighten me on why this would happen?

Hi Chris,
Songs are on the iPhone - there is no cloud symbol (I'm familiar with that as well).
I've updated my signature - I am running the latest OSX and IOS (thanks for reminding me).

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

If you go to Disk Utility, can you see the drive on the left hand side? If not, then the drive is dead. You'll have to buy a new drive.

In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?
