Help! Screen Shot Problem

My iMacG5 sometimes makes this loud "POP!" sound (instead of shutter sound)when taken screenshot by commandshift3. The computer itself shakes a little too when making that sound. Sound seems to be coming from inside iMac since the sound is muted.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Screen Shot Problem (No Longer Working)

For some reason, I suddenly cannot take a screen shot! I'm using Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro, and I keep trying to take a screen capture shot of a website for a friend, but when I hit optionshift3 in both Firefox and Safari, nothing happens! I even restarted and the problem is persisting. Is there some way to fix this? I just can't figure out what I could have done to make this function not work any longer.

Command + Shift + 3 for entire screen
Command + Shift + 4 for selected area
Go to Finder > Help menu. Type in "shortcuts for taking picture of screen" for more information.

Screen shot problem

I am running OS ver 10.5.8 on a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with 2 GB of memory. I have occasionally used the command to take a screen shot of a specific area (ShiftControl+Command4) to generate images of specific things on my computer.
I did that earlier today and the image was saved to my desktop. I have been trying to do the same thing now and after hitting those keys and dragging the mouse to the area of the screen I want to capture, I hear the sound of the shuttle clicking like the computer is making the screenshot, but no image file appears on my desk top. I search my computer, and there's no image file created today other than the one I did earlier. I have tried this several times, and also tried doing a full screenshot. Again, I hear the sound of the shutter like the computer is making the image, but no image is being generated and saved.
I restarted my computer, and still am having the issue.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. I don't know how many years I've been doing it properly. Why I suddenly tried to add control, I'm not sure.

Internal (menu, help screen) font problems

Hello--
OK, I am using SuSE 9.3 Linux on a Pentium 4 processor with xorg's X setup using a raptor version I just downloaded last week.
I had no trouble configuring fonts for my SQL worksheet etc as I wanted, but there is nothing for me to configure the actual fonts used internally by the IDE. Mostly they're OK as it, but when I chose a Help topics --ick! WAY too small and I can't get them to go any larger. I tried feeding in a "java property" in the laucher.sh and this didn't help either. I had used an earlier version of raptor (maybe a month or so ago) and I don't remeber having this problem.
Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
What you are observing is a common problem called FOUT (flash of unstyled text). The forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5402383#5402383 outlines a technique to control FOUT, but it involves some knowledge of coding (CSS).
That said, I am not aware of any v7.1 change that would cause FOUT to appear now. Is there a chance you hadn't noticed it before, or handn't tried the browser you are currently using?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Help Please! Serious Issues with Placing Screen Shots.

Hi,
I'm a long time browser of these forums but this is my first post. I'm pulling my hair out. I've spent hours on this and have a looming deadline. I've a lot of experience in PS and AI but have only started using ID recently. I've searched the forums and web in general, I've found people with similar or the same problems (both on Mac and Windows) but can't find a solution anywhere. I really think there's got to be a simple solution but I can't figure it out.
I'm using ID CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5
I've created several mutilpage PDFs (not for print, for screen viewing) in ID using vector graphics from AI without any issue. However, this time I'm trying to create a multipage PDF that will be a tutorial for GarageBand that requires dozens of edited screen shots. When I place the cropped screen shots they come into ID really badly pixelated. I've tried bring them in as several different file types, PNG, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, but all with the same result. I've tried scaling them in different ways and exporting the PDF in different ways but the screen shots still look terrible.
I have the document set up for digital publishing and it's A4 Landscape. I've changed the display performance to High Quality Display but this shouldn't really matter because the exported PDF still has horrible looking screen shots.
Sadly...when I bring the same screen shots into Microsoft Word Mac they look absolutely perfect. I really, REALLY don't want to be forced to use Word to create a tutorial, or anything for that matter.
Can anybody help? Please!
Thanks in advance.

It seems ludacris and defeats the purpose of the software for me since I hoped to use it mainly for tutorials containing screenshots.
The user interface you are capturing is designed to the monitor pixel grid and captures degrade if you sample them up or down. You can see the resampling problem if you use OSX's zoom feature–zoom in and the interface get's larger but it also blurs.
And extreme example would be a checkerboard drawn at 10 pixels per inch. Increasing the resolution to 300ppi doesn't add any information and degrades the checkerboard's appearance:
When you place a screen capture in ID and scale it, there's no resampling—the capture is resized and the pixels are scaled larger or smaller. If you print the capture it will look fine because a hi-res printer can accurately draw the different scaled resolutions.
When you export to PDF there's going to be a problem displaying the captures in Acrobat because there would only be one zoom level where the original interface pixels display unchanged. It's similar to Photoshop where the screen capture looks best at 100% where the image to monitor ratio is 1:1, but in Acrobat the 1:1 ratio might be any zoom percentage depending on how the capture was resized in ID.

Screen shot help for withholding tds on advance?

can someone please help urgently
When the withholding tax type is mapped to vendor master record it gives an error saying that entries in table T0 59Z not existent.I need to develop screen shots for " advance to Vendor& TDS on advance"

HEllo,
Firstly please check in your customizing that you activated the
extended withholding tax functionality by following this path in
the IMG:
financial accounting global settings
-> Comapny code
    -> Activate the extended withholding tax
Also, there is an additional field "W/H tax catagory" which should be
optional in your account group settings. Please check this by using
Transaction: OBD3
    -> Clicking the relevant account group
      -> Company code data
        -> W/H tax data.
Please note that when you create/change vendor master data, if you
navigate to the withholding tax screen, you have to FIRST enter the
withholding TYPE. Additionally, you may enter a withholding tax CODE
(defined for this withholding type), which is going to be proposed when
posting an invoice for this vendor. If you first enter the withholding
code without having entered the withholding TYPE, the foreign key check
leads to the message 00058 you described in the problem.
Have you check if the tax type exist in T059Z?
REgards,
REnan Correa

After installing Flash Player on a Mac with Mavericks, I get a long text error message about "Installation error". Can send screen shot if helpful.

Error message titled "Internal Server Error". Unable to download screen shot, which is a small file, but .tiff.
Any recommendations on the basis of this very minimal info?

Hello,
Yes a screenshot will be helpful. The format needs to be either JPG or PNG to upload to the forums. You can use the Preview app (How to post a screenshot in the forum) to take the screenshot and save it in JPG or PNG.

X11 for G5/PPC problems incl screen shots

Hello: Most x11 on Leopard questions have been archived, so you can't add to them.
Please note I'm talking about x11 on G5 ppc hardware, so one is limited to OS10.5 and xquartz 2.6.1
(I don't think snow leopard 10.6 runs on G5 ppc, and I don't think xquartz 2.6.2, the current, will run under 10.5.)
There are problems on this x11/OS combo, running software on the remote linux machine and displaying locally on my mac running the xquartz.
Gimp running on the remote linux machine can no longer do screen shots (File> Acquire>screen shot for just a single window) after the OS and xquartz upgrade from 10.4. Gimp acquires only the upper 20% of the screen or so, repeated in a mosaic.
The error messages on the remote machine are lots of errors like this:
X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) 4
Major opcode: 54
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x1600bbe
I have had sys admin look over the obvious stuff, the x connections all seem fine.
I have tried this connecting with both ssh -Y and ssh -X
Any/All suggestions welcome, thank you.
-BTP
PowerPC G5 / OS10.5.8
Xquartz 2.61

What happens when you run gimp on the G5 itself, rather than SSH-ing to another machine?
Also, when you do security updates, they have a tendency to clobber some of the updated X11 files, so you might benefit from reinstalling.

Hi,
Have you tried
1.leaving the screen flipped open,
2.connecting power
3. connecting external monitor; waiting for it to 'wake up';
then 4. closing lid of MBP to activate clamshell mode?

My Iphone 4 keeps trying to turn itself off and also takes random screen shots. I think it might have something to do with the Sleep/Awake button but any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Iphone is constantly trying to turn itself off and also taking screen shots when I'm not touching it. I think it may have something to do with the Sleep button but would welcome any suggestions. I have already restored it to Factory settings but it didn't help.
Thanks,

Need Help with inserting a screen shot

Can someone pleassse help me?! If any of you are familiar with popular youtubers and how in their videos they include screen shots of facebook or twitter questions and they have them so they roll across the bottom of the screen, can you please help me! If anyone knows how to do this in Imovie 11 it would be HUGELY appreciated! Because when i try the picture in picture settings it zooms the screen shot so its massive and its also not an oblong shape anymore (like the shape of a facebook reply) i also need help at how this would transition to roll in from one side of the screen to the other?!
PLEASE HELP ME!!

I think it is possible to do this in iMovie, although perhaps easier in Final Cut Pro X, which I would guess that iJustine is using.
First, I would take a still image of my video at the points where I want to superimpose a graphic. Since she is mostly superimposing graphics on her talking head, a single still might be sufficient.
For getting a still out of iMovie, see my User Tip here.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3231
Now, you will want to take this still to a photo editor that allows you to edit layers. Use PhotoShop if you have it. If you do not already have PhotoShop, it can be rather expensive, so I would suggest a tool like Acorn or Pixelmator, which I think are available in the Mac App Store.
Create a project in the dimensions of your iMovie still, e.g. 1920x1080.
You would put the still on the bottom layer, so you know where to put yoru graphics. You would position the graphic or screen grab at the next layer up. Now I would export the upper layer only as a PNG file. The PNG file has an Alpha Channel, which means you will see only the graphic and not the still in the background.
The main thing Final Cut Pro would give you would be the easy ability to have multiple graphics on the screen at the same time.
Now you can drag this PNG file into iMovie and drop it on the project clip where you want it to appear. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
There are probably other ways to do this, but that is the way I would do it.
