How do I take a 'print-screen'?

How do I take a 'print-screen' image of the screen, like with Windows? Thanks

Commonman,
Please start a new topic thread at the link below. They should work for you unless you have some contributing condition that would cause them to fail.

How can I make a "print screen" on my iMac?

How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

Hello redlion53,
It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
Take a picture of your entire screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
Take a picture of some of your screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
Take a picture of a specific window
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Take a picture of a menu
Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Additional Information
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

There is no direct way to print the screen in OS X.
What you can do -
Take a screenshot of the screen. Press Command-Shift-3 and a picture of the screen's contents will be taken, then placed as a type .png image file on the Desktop. You can then open that image in Preview by double-clicking the image file, and print it from Preview.
Other screenshot commands -
Command-Shift-4 changes the cursor to a crosshair. Drag that to enclose just the part of the screen that you want to capture, and release. The image file created will include only the part of the screen selected.
Command-Shift-4 followed by pressing the Spacebar will change the cursor to a glyph of a camera. Click this in a specific window, such as a doc window, pulldown or popup menu, etc., and just that window will be included in the screensot.
Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4 will take their respective screenshots but place the result on the Clipboard rather than generating an image file on the Desktop. This image on the clipboard can then be pasted into a document of your choice.

Simultaneously press the on/off switch and the center home button. You will notice an on-screen flash. If you have sound enabled, you will hear a camera click.

How do I load a print screen image into a picture indicator?

Hi,
I am trying to load a printscreen image into a picture indicator without first saving it. I am currently doing it by acquiring and saving a print screen image, then reloading and displaying the bitmap file. This works, but it is not elegant and the colors are displayed wrong. (The SnapView.vi is from the G Toolbox for LabVIEW) Thanks for your help.

Hello –
When you push the print screen button in your keyboard, the image is send (temporarily stored) to the clipboard.
You could call the Windows API to recover that image and send it to an indicator in the front panel. This Example Program can show you how to make Windows API calls; I think you might find it useful to get started in programming your application.
Hope this helps.

How can i take a full screen shot of a web page without using paparazzi?

I would like to take a full screen shot of a web page but scroll down to the page as well. i have downloaded paparazzi which seemed to be recommanded but I am not satisfied with what it does any other suggestion to get a clear picture of the page???

Hi Keith,
It doesn't have to be a movie. Snagit, for example can capture the complete browser window as an image which you can then save as a png, jpg, tiff, gif, bmp or snagit document. That's what I thought the OP wanted so I didn't suggest the built in screen captures.
Take care,
ivan
(To Philo9, I saved this with 80% quality, so it's not the best. You can save as full quality, png or tiff to get better than this. Click on it to see it full size.)

Hi Nicholas,
To post a picture on our threads you can either attach the image or use a url to a picture. If you already have the url to the image you want to post, please just look at the image below on how to link that image on the post. If you need to attach the image to the thread first, you will need to post first and then, after posting, right-click on the image and select copy link location to get the link to where the image is stored. Then you need to edit your post by going to Options » Edit Message and add the image by using the image button. This is shown below.
In addition, did you post on the Signal Conditioning board because you had a question regarding signal conditioning?
Regards,

Mac hardware: How do i print screen on a PC with a Mac Keyboard??

I have a Apple Mac Pro, but when I'm booted directly into Windows Vista (using Boot Camp) how do I do a Print Screen?
The Apple Keyboard is missing the "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock", and "Pause/Break" keys that a normal PC Keyboard has.
I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and apparently this issue has NEVER been addressed or fixed by Apple, because I've seen posts dating back over 4 1/2 years on this same issue/problem, and I've seen fixes for Windows XP, but nothing for Vista. I found this article addressing the issue:
http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7592_102-0.html?forumID=25&threadID=12105&messageID= 137974
I did find this software application, but it only works on Windows XP (not Vista):

Is there any Easy way to Map and allow the use of Apple keyboards in Windows Vista?
AppleKeys allows the use of Apple keyboards on a Windows machine. It properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" accordingly.
Why hasn't Apple just added a "Keyboard Emulator" in the Boot Camp client that gets installed Vista? I'm currently running Boot Camp client version 2.1, why doesn't Apple just add a keyboard emulator/keyboard mapper inside the Boot Camp version 2.1 client?
This way the F13-F15 keys will automatically emulate the "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" keys properly like on a PC keyboard.
I've searched everything, and this has turned into such a time consume and HEADACHE of a project, and I'm really disappointed that Apple has "dropped the ball" on something so simple.
If a third party person, had to create the "Apple Keys" program (to run under Windows XP) you'd think that this is a problem, and that Apple would finally address this problem?
Could someone from Apple, please take the time and fix this? At least copy, or make something similar to the "Apple Keys" program that automatically install inside the Boot Camp client, so when a person installs Windows Vista, and the Boot Camp client installs inside Windows Vista it will automatically run a keyboard emulator (similar to Apple Keys) so that you can properly use the F13-F15 keys on the Apple Keyboard as "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock" and "Pause/Break".
Could Apple do this, and push out a Boot Camp Version 2.2 update with this feature added to Boot Camp? I would greatly appreciate it, as would most of the other Windows Vista users I'm sure.
Apple Keys does not work for Windows Vista, only Windows XP and I've been unable to find an alternative Fix, and I wish that Apple developers would just get off their tail and finally FIX this problem!
C'mon guys, you've known about this 4 1/2+ years, and why does it take some third-party person to create an application like "Apple Keys" just to fix the issue?
Well the author of that program is no longer available, the website is gone, and I've been unable to find a way to contact him (or ask him to update his program for Windows Vista), but all these headaches shouldn't be necessary. All this stuff should just "WORK" right out of the box, and Apple developers really should have thought of this, and just added something this simple to Boot Camp plugin/client, that way when the Boot Camp 2.1 installs inside of Windows Vista, it will install the Apple Keyboard Emulator which will automatically emulate the PC keyboard, and emulate the F13-F15 keys as "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break". The normal PC keyboard doesn't even have a "F13-F15 keys" and only goes up to F12, so you would think that Apple could just do something SIMPLE like emulate the keys on the PC Keyboard, and just use the F13-F15 keys as the "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break" keys.
I would greatly appreciate it if a Apple Developer could begin working on this, and just push it out as a Boot Camp Version 2.2 update. So that it will fix these problems for all Apple/Windows Boot Camp users running Vista.
Thank-you!

AppleKeys allows the use of Apple keyboards on a Windows machine. It properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" accordingly. Unfortunately AppleKeys only works on Windows XP and earlier, and it has been discontinued by the author.
Why hasn't something as simple as this been addressed or FIXED by Apple?
Why hasn't Apple just added a simple "Keyboard Emulator" (identical to AppleKeys) inside the Boot Camp client that automatically gets installed on Vista or Windows XP? I'm currently running Boot Camp client version 2.1 in Vista Ultimate x64, why doesn't Apple just add a keyboard emulator/keyboard mapper inside the Boot Camp version 2.1 client? So that the Apple Keyboard properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" automatically when the Boot Camp client is installed in Vista?
Are the Apple Developers "sleeping on the job"? Surely something SO SIMPLE wouldn't be hard to add or fix. VMWare Tools guys seem to do a great job, I would think that Apple would begin working on a fix for this, and finally address the issue and fix this. Give us a client application that we can install that will work on Windows XP and Windows Vista that will allow our Apple Keyboards to map/emulate a Windows PC Keyboard inside Windows XP or Windows Vista automatically. This could easily be done when Vista installs Boot Camp client (automatically) inside of Vista, Apple could then install a PC Keyboard emulator to support the Apple Keyboard that would map/emulate the F13-F15 keys on a Apple keyboard to the standard "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break" keys on a PC Keyboard.
C'mon Apple, please just fix this problem and make life a little easier on your users. I just bought a Mac Pro, and I'm a new Apple Mac user and I'm just really disappointed that something so simple still hasn't been addressed or FIXED by Apple. It should be automatic, and I shouldn't have to hunt and search the internet trying to find a solution, just to fix something so simple.
Apple Developers really dropped the ball here, and I would like to see them create an Apple Keyboard Client that will automatically be installed in Windows XP or Windows Vista that will properly map/emulate the PC Keyboard, so that the F13-F15 keys can be properly used as "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break".
Thank-you, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this issue!

How To Do Print Screen

I would like to know if i have to take the print screen of the items of the docs, how to do that?
Regards
Vikram

Command-Shift-3 saves a picture of the entire screen to your desktop.
But if you go into the Mac Help file and search for "print screen" you will find an article "Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen" that will have more shortcuts for putting the screen picture on the Clipboard and taking a picture of one window or a region. You can do it many ways.

Print Screen Opens on Page Immediately - How do I stop it?

Hi,
First I'd like to thank blarman74 and Andy because I worked off of the information on this thread:
Autoprint Print Friendly Page
Autoprint Print-Friendly Page
I created a Button: URL call to javascript:PrintPopup()
I put this code in the report's HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintPopup () {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2004:&SESSION.::::::YES';
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=900,height=1000");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
And in the report's Region Footer I put this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
Now, here is the problem. When I first open page 2004, the print screen opens immediately. I have to close it before I can see page 2004. Then I click the button with the URL call and the printer friendly page opens with the print screen on top. This part is good. That works beautifully.
How do I stop the print screen from opening when I first open page 2004? I figure there is some setting I am missing or perhaps a piece of code somewhere.
Thanks,
Maggie

You could put the winpopup code in the footer of the printerfriendly template.
#FORM_CLOSE#</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
I then have a navigation bar which has:
target type: A page in this application
&APP_PAGE_ID.
And printer friendly check box checked.
You can then print the current page from the navigation bar.
I don't use a button, but essentially you just want your action to be performed when the button is submitted.

Unable to Print Screen Captivate 3's publish windows (minor)

I know this is minor, but was wondering why I can't use my computer's Print Screen on the advanced publishing windows. I can take a print screen of the main Publish window, but if I click the eLearning output window or the preferences, it won't take a screen shot. Anyone know why or know if I need to do something different? I want to document all our settings for other users in my office.

LOL, love your avatar of the green stop!
What are you using? Plain old Print Screen? Perhaps try using a screen capture application? Perhaps even Captivate itself? Start two sessions and record the second with the first?
Cheers... Rick

Printer screen only lets me hit save, no print button available

Today I tried to print a page online and the only option available on the print screen was "save." There was no "print" button to click. How can I get my print screen to have a "print" button again?
Thanks for your time.

Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about not seeing a "print" option on your web browser. Could you please let me know which operating system you're running and which web browser you are using to print from (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc)?
Help to find which Operating System you are running:
