Ctrl-Alt-Prt Screen for Mac?

I'm a new Mac user. One of my favorite PC commands was Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen, which let me take a picture of my computer screen, a handy tip when I'm making powerpoints. But I can't figure out how to do it on my new mac. Any thoughts?

Hi SC in ATL: I don't use Powerpoint or any similar program so I can't comment with any certainty, but I can only assume it would be a process similar to posting any other type of photo/picture. If you leave the topic unanswered for awhile there are lots of knowlegable folks on here that may be able to answer with more certainty than I could.

Use 24 in iMac as a screen for mac mini

Can I use 24 in iMac as screen for mac mini?

I can see that there is no way to use the iMac screen thru standard methods. As the iMac is out of warranty and the DVD/CD drive no longer works I am willing to have the iMac's case opened and have some jerry-rigged solution installed. Does anyone have an idea as to how that can be done

What is the price of new screen for mac air 11'', coz mine is broken

what is the price of new screen for mac air 11'' in singapore, coz mine is broken, the lcd crashd, whatever

You may have to check local official authorized Apple service providers for a price or estimate on the cost of repair parts and labor; there may be other companies than those officially listed in the locator page here http://www.apple.com/sg/service/ in the Singapore area, that can do the job. Be wary of those not Authorized or Certified, since these may not use the correct parts or may not be properly trained in the repair procedure.
In the case of a computer still under offiical original or extended Apple warranty, when accidental damages cause need for a repair, be sure to get the damage fixed in an authorized repair facility so as to keep the remainder of the offiical warranty in effect. Unofficial repairs by unqualified persons can void the remainder of a factory warranty; while the damage may not be covered at all, the rest of the computer could retain coverage if it is repaired correctly using Apple trained and authorized service personnel and original equipment parts.
So, be sure if you find a shop that can do a repair, that it won't make matters worse by performing inexact or sub-par service; and if the computer no longer has an official warranty on the remainder of the unit (outside of the accidental damages not covered anyway) you may be able to find a good display, new or used, and have another service company replace the one in your MB/Air. Depending on what build year-model MB/Air 11" you have, the parts may vary; so be sure to research whoever can do this job, so it may be done correctly.
There are independent authorized Apple repair agents with certified technicians who use correct parts, so maybe you can find one in your region; at least to initially research the costs involved in restoring the MB/Air.
Not sure which model you have, but for something out of warranty or damaged in a way to no longer be covered, you may see what may be involved in doing a repair or parts swap, yourself; the following may be helpful in restoring this model.Or give you an idea, should it be too technical for a DIY fix.

There are apps that allow you to use an iOS device as a secondary screen for a computer. Search the App Store. Here are some:

How do connect my sony bravia tv as a monitor screen for mac pro

How do I connect my Sony Bravia tv as a monitor for my MacBook Pro? I have an hdmi lead with an adapter to the computer and get a picture of factory setting cosmos with some of the folders of my desktop going off the side of the tv screen.

If you have the right cable, and have set the right input on your Sony, then you need to adjust one thing. Go to System Preferences>Displays>Set Mirroring. I think you've got it set to Extended desktop, which means the Sony is just a HUGE extension of your Mac OSX desktop.
That should fix your issue.

"Print Screen" for MAC

Hey there I am still trying to swap over from windows. Quick and easy question for someone. On my PC i used the "print screen" button a lot. Taking a snap shot of what is on your screen. Is there a way to accomplish that same feature with a Mac, If so How?
Cheers!

Command-shift-4 lets you select what portion of the screen to capture.
Note that either keystroke (-3 and -4) creates an image file that is, by default, a .png file saved to your desktop as "Picture 1" (2, 3, 4 and so on, however many you take). There are some ways to change those defaults; the easier ways are through tools like Deeper or Onyx (search Apple downloads, versiontracker.com, or macupdate.com to find them).

Saving a screen shot similar to "Alt + print screen" for PC's...

As I am transitioning from a PC to a Mac, and would like to be able to save a screen shot, similar to the print screen button on PC keyboards, how do I do this now?
If I would like to save the screen shot to be able to edit it in a graphics software, such as Photoshop or save it as a JPEG to be able to insert it in a document, how do you do that now? I went to File -> Save As and my only options are Web Archive and Page Source.
Please let me know.

Command - shift - 4 and drag a square around what you want to capture
Command - shift - 3 capture of whole screen
each will put a .png on the desktop which can open in Preview
Additionally, you can change the default format of the screenshot as outlined in this article. Alternatively, adding "ctrl" to either of the keyboard combinations sends the screenshot to your clipboard, allowing you to paste it into an editor of your choice.

Is there a ctrl+alt+del equivelent in Mac?

Yesterday i had my first experiance with an app not responding (freezing). I couldnt make the spinning ball stop spinning and i couldnt do anything. I had to force shut down by holding the power button.
If this were windows i would have simply pressed ctrlaltdel and terminated the app. Is there something in Mac thats similar?

Before you Force Quit (alt/controlEsc) you should make sure the
program(s) that you are using are in fact not responding. I have seen over the years that sometimes a program like Photoshop CS just takes a long time to start up. The other thing is, by Force Quitting, all unsaved changes/files will be erased. Just a little piece of information you might want to consider.

Where can I get a replacement plastic screen for mac

I scratched my screen, how can I get a replacement? it is the black and aluminium, the plastic front is magnetic so seems that it could be replaced.

Just so you know, I believe the front display uses glass, not plastic, from what I've read in these Forums.
Hope this helps

Ctrl-Alt-drag for brushsize also moves Canvas. Bug/problem

Hi, I'm experiencing a weird problem with Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (Macbook Pro).
I've used the ctrl+alt+mousedrag shortcut for changing brush size for some time, but a few days ago it started acting weird. (I have no clue what provoked it)
If I hold ctrl+alt keys down and move my mouse around, the entire canvas follows the mouse (independent on fullscreen) around.
However if I hold ctrl+alt and click once with the left mousebutton before moving the mouse, then keep holding down ctrl+alt it will act as normal and I can use the cursor to get the brush-settings the way I want it without the canvas moving around. But it is still annoying me because this is something I do very often, and thus it is really messing with my workflow.. And I know it hasn't allways been like this.
I've tried dumping the settings file, but not yet a full reinstall as I am hoping there might be a fix for this.
Thanks,
Steffen

Hi, thanks for the reply. I just figured out what is causing this and came back to post it.. You were on the right track!!
I recently downloaded a beta of something called HyperDock (http://hyperdock.bahoom.de).. Disabling that application fixes the issue.
Goodbye hyperdock - welcome back ctrl+alt+drag!
//Edit: Seems there is a setting in hyperdock that I can turn off, so it can run witihout messing with the shortcuts.. It is actually a decent app if you tend to use a lot of windows.

Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

Topic says it all...
My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)

Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

Mac Pro 3,1 Stuck on Grey screen for 1 min during boot

I have a Late 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 and have started experiencing a very slow boot up. The computer gets stuck for over a minute on the initial gray screen after the first boot chime. Once the apple logo finally appears the boot goes normally. Once running it seems OK. The shut down seems normal with a grey screen for a few seconds with the "clock" logo.
Symptom:
After the chime I see a blank gray screen for in excess of 1 minute, it used to last only a couple of seconds.
Once the dark grey Apple logo appears the boot goes at normal speed
I have a number of different hard drives with older systems and booting from each of then gives the problem - so it does not seem to be system/disc related
Two partitions (Mavericks and ML) are on SSD's installed on a Sonnet PCIe Card and showed the same problem as the spinning hard discs.
I tried: (following a trawl of the bb's etc)
I repaired permissions and repaired all discs for all my boot partitions (10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9) using the appropriate Disc Utility
Zapping the Pram - this was very strange as I had to keep the cmd alt P R held down for around a minute before the second chime occurred, the time of the grey screen stays stuck
Resetting the SMC
Booting in Verbose Safe Mode: Again I had to hold the Alt V down for a minute on the gray screen before the screen went black and the text appeared
I looked on the console log but could see nothing obvious, additionally from the verbose safe mode boot the text log seems to start from when the grey screen disappears. The time stamps show the boot finishing in well under the minute I wait.
Any suggestions you may have are very welcome.
Regards
Dave

Thanks The Hatter for that information. The blank gray screen is now lasting 3 mins before the Apple appears. When I restarted the system log is as below. As you can see there is just over a three minute gap between the shut down and the boot, indicating to me that it is not something in the system software after the boot but a problem at the very start. It does look like it could be something to do with the hardware as you suggest. I have verified all the discs with the disc utility and they report as OK and their SMART status is also OK. I have disconnected the external drives with no change so I will now have to do a thorough check and systematically remove the internal ones but that will have to wait for the weekend.
I have Mavericks on the Samsung 840 Pro and ML on a Crucial SSD (Crucial_CT240M500SSD1 Media) on a PCIe card. The Mavericks install I think was an upgrade, not a clean install done quite a while ago. I only noticed the problem this week when I re-booted in an ML to run some software not compatible with Mavericks. I have made a system back up as a precaution to an external disc just in case my main drive is dying!
There are some firmware updates for both the SSD discs that I have not applied these yet but I will leave them out of the mix until I have tried simplifying my configuration with a single disc.

Ctrl-alt-end on mac keyboard

Our system at work uses WIndows XP and I can now use Remote Office to get on the system from home. Previously, I had to run Parallels Desktop for windows. Now, I can run it from Safari, except to begin the login process, I must hit the combination of keys "Ctrl-Alt-END" I have looked at discussions and they say end is accessed using the command key and the left or right arrow. No luck with that.
Do I hit the control key, alt key, command key and right arrow at once? I tried that and it didn't work. Parallels for Windows has a virtual Windows keyboard, but there doesn't seem to be the same WIndows keyboard on Mac OS. Help!!

the options key on the mac keyboard should map to the windows alt key, so the key command should be control-options-end.
You should be able to enable "Remote Access" on the windows XP machine (get properties on My Computer and enable it in the "Remote" tab). Then download Microsoft's "Remote Desktop Connection" software and connect to your work PC by entering it's IP address.
