Getting Screenshot of an appler

I currently have an applet in a JFrame. I would like to know if there is a way to actually take a screenshot of the applet (and just the applet) and it needs to be able to do it even if the JFrame is minimised. The applet itself, I do not have the source for so I cannot just edit the applet to get the image before it's drawn. I have played around with the Graphics class and Robot class to try and get an image of the applet, yet this has failed abysmally. Anyway, is there any way to do this at all? Thanks in advance

So far so good. Try this method, using the applet as the component.
public static BufferedImage getScreenShot(
    Component component) {
    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(
      component.getWidth(),
      component.getHeight(),
      BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB
    // call the Component's paint method, using
    // the Graphics object of the image.
    component.paint( image.getGraphics() );
    return image;

I am not sure how the above will go if the JFrame is minimized. Please try it and report back.

Anyone getting screenshots when they press sleep/lock on iphone 5?

I got my iphone 5 replaced 2 months ago because the lock button was unresponsive. Now I'm having problems again with a totally new phone! This time whenever I press the lock/sleep button to wake or shut down the phone my phone takes a screenshot!!! Anyone else having this problem? I'm hoping it's a software thing in ios7.0.3 but I doubt it. It does it about 50% of the time and it's getting worse.
My phone isn't under warranty now. Really upset about this. I keep good care of my phone too. I didn't even drop it.

Your phone should still be under warranty. replacements get the rest of the original warranty, or 90 days, whichever is more, so if it was only two months ago, you are still covered.

Connect to TV/Get Screenshot of Program Playing?

I tried searching before posting (someone else must have this problem, yeah?) but after hours couldn't find a solution and am just running out of time trying to noodle this on my own... Any advice/assistance would be HUGELY appreciated!
I have a client that needs me to get hi-resolution screen captures from some of their clients' TV programs -- I have a Mac, shouldn't be a problem, right?
Unfortunately I don't have a new digital TV, or Apple TV, and am trying to use the firewire connection from my PowerBook G4 to my DVR/cable box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 model) to snag some still images. After installing FireWire SDK and re-booting all of the systems repeatedly, I can't get the computer to recognize the DVR as an external source of any kind.
Basically I can't seem to make the TV/my cable box to my laptop. I CAN use the standard A/V connector to make the laptop think that the TV is a secondary display, but that's sort of backwards to what I'm trying to do.
All I need is to find a way to get simple still screenshots from the TV. Is there anyway to make this happen, or am I just screwed?

HI cheshiredmad and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
If you haven't tried this... get a S-Video cable, ($15 at Radio Shack), and if your PBookG4 came with one like mine did... get your Apple DVI to Video Adapter, if you haven't got one go here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A?fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables&mco=MTUzNTY Connect the S-Video cable to the corresponding ports on the TV, not the cable box. Then connect the yellow connector on the other end to the DVI/Video Adapter, then connect the DVI to the PBookG4. It's the ort between your Audio and first USB port. See if you can screen capture at that point.

Get screenshot with mouse cursor and send for client application

I took
this function for getting a screenshot from a client application. I to tried adapt this function in my project, but I can not capture desktop showing mouse cursor (coming from a remote pc) in my server application (controller).
Here is my adaptation (in client side) but without success:
void SendScreenProc()
// Send First Bitmap
MemoryStream streamScreen = new MemoryStream();
this.bmpScreenSend = CaptureScreen(true);//new Bitmap(this.boundScreen.Width, this.boundScreen.Height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(this.bmpScreenSend);
g.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, this.boundScreen.Size);
this.bmpScreenSend.Save(streamScreen, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
Compress.CompressStream(streamScreen);
Byte[] bufferScreen = streamScreen.ToArray();
mreSendData.WaitOne();
this.queueSendData.AddScreen(streamScreen.GetBuffer());
streamScreen.Close();
this.receivedScreen = 0;
while (this.remoted)
// Send next bitmap result by difference with previous bitmap.
if(this.receivedScreen == 0) {
} else {
Bitmap bmpCurrentScreen = CaptureScreen(true);//new Bitmap(this.boundScreen.Width, this.boundScreen.Height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
g = Graphics.FromImage(bmpCurrentScreen);
g.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, this.boundScreen.Size);
if (this.receivedScreen == 1) {
if(this.bmpScreen != null) {
this.bmpScreen.Dispose();
this.bmpScreen = this.bmpScreenSend;
} else if(this.receivedScreen == 2) {
if (queueSendData.AvailableScreenAdd && IsDifferent(bmpCurrentScreen, this.bmpScreen))
streamScreen = new MemoryStream();

bmpDiff.Save(streamScreen, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Utility or trick to get screenshots from USB-Adapter-driven monitor?

My main computer is a G5Quad, but this post relates to my MacBook.
Recently, I acquired a USB-(display card)Adapter ( http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/                  ) to run the second one of my dual external monitors with my MacBook (not "Pro").
The first one of the external monitors was already connected to the MacBook through the regular external-monitor port, so this allowed for the use of both external monitors on the MacBook.
To my utter astonishment and delight, the arrangement works absolutely superbly. I ended up with an arrangement in which my desktop spans all three monitors, with my main monitor on the right (22" CRT) being the one connected directly to the MacBook's monitor port, the center one (also a 22" CRT) conected through the above described USB adapter, and on the left the MacBook's own built-in monitor.
Working with Photoshop13 ("CS6") with all that screen real estate is like a dream.
The only thing that doesn't work is taking a screen shot of the center display, i.e. the one connected through the USB adapter. Using Command_Shift_3 generates only screen-shot files from monitors one (right) and three (left), the center one is simply
ignored.
Using Command_Shift_4 only in the center screen, I can hear the shutter-clack sound, but no image is generated again. I've tried swapping the screens and connections around, and whichever is connected through the USB adapter is always ignored.
If anyone can suggest any trick or knows any utility that will help me get this done, I'd be much obliged.
Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and here are the MacBook's details:

Thanks in advance.

Found the utility I was looking for: SnapzProX2 does the job perfectly, by either taking a screen shot of just the secondary (center) monitor or one spanning the entire width of all three screens combined.
Alas, the utility costs $70. I'll continue looking hoping to find something cheaper.
However, this proves that the USB-adapter is indeed working flawlessly and that it provides all the necessary information to capture a screen shot of the monitor it is driving.
So this is really an Apple problem, which I have no hope of seeing fixed, as Snow Leopard is no longer supported.
If somebody finds something else, please let us know.

How to get screenshot to work?

Today my Macs screenshot no longer works. When I take a screenshot a message comes up that says "your screen shot can't be saved. Unable to create type string." How do I fix this?

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with an item selected. If it does, move the selected item to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test.
*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.

Any way to get screenshot

Cmd+shift+4 screenshot files do get created on Leopard??

Hi, I have a fresh install of Leopard that has since been "software updated" to 10.5.1.
When I cmdshift4 to create a screen shot, I get the screen area selector, and I hear the little camera shutter noise, but no files are created. In Tiger I used to get screenshot files created on my desktop "Picture 1", "Picture 2", and so on. But now I get nothing.
Using spotlight to search, the file don't appear to be anywhere on my system. I've reverted to using Grab to take screenshots which isn't nearly as quick and easy as the cmd-shift-4 key combination. (By the way, I'm logged in as a user who does not have admin capabilities, if that makes a difference.)
Is this functionality broken in Leopard? Any help is greatly appreciated,
slegge

Typed 'screencapture test', heard the camera noise, and saw the following output (below). It appeared to create a file called '.test-k1Xg' in my home folder.

How to export chapter screenshots for printing?

My office is working up a large collection of DVDs in Encore. As part of the job, our manager wants DVD cases that display thumbnails of the poster frames located at each chapter stop (chapters are set as automatic intervals in Encore). She saw that cases with thumbnail chapter images are provided by some of the big video companies like YesVideo when they make DVDs for customers, and decided she wants them for this job.
The problem is, we cannot figure out how to get screenshots of every chapter stop exported from Encore in an expeditious manner. The closest we have come to a solution is manually navigating to each chapter stop and using the "save frame as file" option. But for 24 stops per DVD, doing each chapter like this--for many DVDs--will take forever!
Is there a way to automate this? I can't believe Encore doesn't have a way to save all the chapter stop images in a given timeline as JPEG files. I'm used to automating so much in Photoshop!
Or, if there isn't an Encore way, does anyone know of another program that can do this? We found one called DVD Labeler that does something similar, but it doesn't do exactly what we need.
All advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Stan--thanks for your help.
Believe me, I'm all for options that make it easier! But I'm not sure I understand why your method is easier.
Yes to your questions--set intervals, the beginning chapter is not special, poster frame is the same as the chapter.
We are doing exactly the same thing you describe doing in Premiere--just in Encore instead. We're using the "next chapter" button to jump to the chapter locations, and using "save frame to file" instead of "export frame."
No, it's not automatic, but for 24 chapters per DVD, it's still plenty time-consuming. So I'm not sure why your Premiere method would be preferable to what we're doing. But if I'm missing something, please let me know. :-)

Your embarresed and I am tired of it, so when is it going to get fixed!

CRASHES,breaks in connection, pain in the butt, quit the apologizes and get it fixed. I am thinking of going some where else. You don't need more info. you know what is wrong so fix it, NOW>

The problem is the same as described in other similar threads.
I have a 57 MB PowerPoint file I am trying to send using Adobe Send. I go through the normal steps to identify the file and select recipients and then send the file. After the file completes the upload - an error saying there was a problem comes up and the file is not uploaded.
I have tried to upload the file to the site with similar results - error and the file doesn't go.
I can go to the old SendNow site and it works flawlessly.
If I need to get screenshots - let me know. There are several other threads describing this same problem. It isn't something new or not heard of before.

Adobe Send - Problem with uploading files. When is this going to get fixed?

When is the Adobe Send problem with uploading files going to get fixed. Similar to others - I have tried and tried to make Adobe Send work and get an error. I have tried to upload the file and it looks like it uploads and then - it is nowhere to be found.
I then go to Adobe Send Now and it works fine.

Screenshot wont work

For some reason I can't get screenshot to work. Nothing happens after I do a commandshift3 or 4. I checked System Preferences:keyboard:keyboard shortcuts and the screenshot shortcuts are enabled. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi foxo, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart.

SCREENSHOT HOT BUTTON WOES | ONE NOTE WITH 8.1

I apologize for being so blunt, however this is one of the most annoying "features" ever. I work daily (for MS) and need to take screenshots daily. I have always been able to use "Windows + S" before with OneNote installed to take
a quick, easy, immediate capture of whatever I need to capture. Now, this is not so easy and believe it or not one of the most annoying things I'm having to deal with as I can no longer take screenshots of drop down menus due to having to click/select something
else first to take a screenshot rather than hot-key directly to screenshot... So, now to take a screenshot with OneNote, I have to "Windows + N" then either click on "Screen Clipping" or "S", which makes any drop downs or
selected items I have open go away... Now if I press "Windows + S" it takes me to search things, which is ridiculous and redundant as all I have to do to search things is to press "Windows" and then start typing. Why would we add a
redundant feature that negates another Microsoft Product feature? Please help to resolve and/or let me know how to change search "hotkey" so I can use "Windows + S" to screenshot with OneNote as I used to be able to with Windows 7 and
Windows 8, prior to 8.1.
Thank you.

Hi,
This is by design. Here is a work around for your favorite WIN + S shortcut key:

That solution by itself is crap! Why do we want 3 ways to bring up the search box? We can already do so by pressing Windows+Q or just hit the Windows key and start typing like others have said.
Here is how I resolved the issue for myself. Using the method described in the link above in combination with AutoHotKey I am now back to my normal way of life and using the Windows+S to getting screenshots. Here is a quick rundown:
As per the Blog post, add the ScreenClippingShortcutKey = 41 REG_DWORD to the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OneNote\Options\Other registry key.
Download and install AutoHotKey (Google it if you don't already have it).
Create a new .ahk file and put in your startup to run at startup called myKeys.ahk.
Add the following to the myKeys.ahk file:
#s::#a
Log off and back in and give it a shot, it worked like a charm for me.
Note: The # stands for the Windows Key, s is the key s, :: means translate to, you get the drift.
Hope this helps others!

Browserlab is not working for me, it wont complete the load even though i have high speed internet?

Subject
First time use of browser lab not working.
Problem Description
Ok, so, I'm working on a tutorial page on CS5.5 and I am at the stage of using browserlab to preview it online. I log in and enter my password then it opens my browser and I click on "start using browserlab now" and a load screed appears. It loads for about a minute and then remains "blank", which is in fact the adobe screen with a language bar at the top right, but NO preview pages? also, if I then go into dreamweaver again the browserlab tab reports an error saying "Timed out, failed to connect to BrowserLab"
Steps to Recreate
This issue happens every time, and I have never got it to work.
Windows 7 32-bit operating system.
I am using the main BrowserLab interface as well as testing via Dreamweaver integration (DW version is version 11.5 build 5315)
I dont understand what this next statement means? "What is the URL you're testing against?"
Expected Results
I thought that browserlab would open my page in multiple browsers on one page so i could see if there are any errors for different browser types.
Actual Results
Did not load correctly and gives errors.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Marshall,
Thanks for the detailed report. Don't worry about your step #4, you didn't get to that point.
From what I can tell, you're opening up BrowserLab in your browser first, then trying to do a preview from Dreamweaver, is that correct? I'd like to try a test where you first test BrowserLab in standalone mode and if that works, then try the BrowserLab integration with Dreamweaver. So please try doing the following steps:
Close Dreamweaver and all of your browser windows.
Leave DW closed, open a single browser window and go to https://browserlab.adobe.com
Log in, and request a screenshot by typing in a URL like http://www.yahoo.com and pressing <Enter>
Does that work for you? Do you get screenshots for that? If not, please describe the steps you followed and what you see
If so, close your browser window and open Dreamweaver. Do not open your browser to BrowserLab
In DW, open the webpage you'd like to view in BrowserLab and press the preview button in the BrowserLab panel as shown in your shot
You may need to log in again, but let me know what happens with that test.

Error while running executable file through java in WinNT

I would like to run an executable file with Java.
- If I try with notepad or paint, i.e. Windows Applications,
  I have no problem.
- I also can run Non-Windows-Own Applications, except one.
  I get an error message, if I want to run this program through Java.
I have tried following commands to run an executable file.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c "+command);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c start "+command);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c start /wait "+command);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /k start "+command);
command : the path to the executable file
I can run the application directly, if I click the icon on desktop,
but not through Java.
here is the error message I get
screenshot : http://www.aykut.de/error_message.jpg
Text : "Security Check failure"
        The Logon System has been tampered with.
        The Administrator will need to re-install.
my Idea :
The application is "old".
I think it was written for Win 3.1.
Therefore I don't know if there is any other
possibilty to run a "DOS Exe File" through Java.

I have just figured out how it works,
if somebody else here in forum have this problem,
here is the solution :
String path = "F:\...\...\Application.exe";
String envDir = path.substring(0, path.lastIndexOf("\\"));
String[] command = {"cmd.exe", "/c", "start", "/wait", "/D"+envDir, path};
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
"start /Dpath" => path: environment directory F:\...\...\
"start /wait" => wait until Application.exe terminates
if you use Win95 or Win98 use command.com instead of cmd.exe
