How do I take a screen shot on my mac?

What is the command for taking a screen shot on a mac?

I use shift/applekey/4  (all at the same time)  then I get a little indicator on the screen and can copy as much of the screen as I want.  Somewhere I found where I could get it to go onto my screen as a jpeg--titled picture1-picture 2 or whatever.

    Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
    Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
    Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

  • How can I take a screen shot of the whole page in iweb

    Hello all, Happy Saturday.
    I want to take a screenshot of my entire page but I only see a part of the page on the screen. How can I display the whole page at once in order to make a thumbnail image?
    Thank you in advance for I know someone will have the solution.

    Well, let me see here....on page 114 of the L3 handbook it says specifically that I'm not supposed to share this with L2s and below....hahahaha....just kidding. Actually, I'm sure that this kind of graphic posting is frowned upon here, but I just couldn't resist...

  • In power mac g5, how to take Automatic Screen Shot with Date

    in power mac g5, how to take Automatic Screen Shot with Date ?
    please help me

    If you are standing by, and activating the process by keyboard
    you could be sure to include the open Date Time menu bar
    image in a complete screenshot, using cmd shift 3. Or outline
    the area you want if not full-screen, by using cmd shift 4.
    The command button may also have an apple icon on it.
    So that's the three key shortcuts for full & partial screen.
    For a more automated method, perhaps try using software to
    run an AppleScript, like Automator. Then write a script or find
    one that you can modify to do tasks and test it.
    There may be other methods, however identifying your intent
    would be higher on the list at this time; to narrow the method.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to take a screen shot automatica​lly and from a remote location

    Hi,
    I have a Desktop, a Video Analyzer with Windows XP, and a Laptop, also running Windows XP. What I would like to do is take a screen shot from the Video Analyzer while running the LabVIEW VI from my laptop.
    I have found this, which gives me insight into the complexity of a print screen call, but this is really only if LabVIEW were running on the system from which my screen shot is desired. For this post, that is not the case.
    If you have a solution or even just a vague idea or comment, please do not hesitate to post. I appreciate any and all feedback on this topic.
    Thank you for your time.

    Thank you for your response. I would like to aviod using outside software in this. I'm sure that TightVNC is great, and it would probably work. I would, however, just like to do this using labview and labview only. Maybe it isn't possible but I really would like to do it entirely in labview. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them even if they, too, have outside software involved.
    Thanks again Joseph

  • How can I capture the photo shutter sound when you take a screen shot

    I want to use the Mac's shutter sound that is used when you take a screen shot or take a Photo Booth photo. I tried Audio Hijack but it doen't capture the sound. I figure this audio file must be in the system folder somewhere.

    A camera shutter sound can be found in

  • How do I take a screen capture of a video in imovie

    I have an imovie project and I want to take a "screen shot" so I have a still picture. Any advice on how to get a reasonably clear, crisp jpg image from the movie?  thanks

    Thanks for the fast answer! Your tutorial was also excellent - I am also a Saturn V fan. I am a bit leery about installing the app; the general release version notes some quirks with Lion, and I may wait until the beta is GR. In the meantime, I used precision editor in iMovie, and "Grab" to do tiff screen shots, but your solution looks much better, I will check back with the streamclip site to see when the software is no longer beta.
    Thanks much!
