To this form. I have a iphone 5

This is Vicky again I just ran across an article that says it could mean the phone has water in it. My phone is dry no water. Another article just said to shut off the GPS. My GPS was on and I have now shut it off but why would a red bull's-eye show up intermittently if your GPS is on ?

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

Hi out there. To capture a screen shot one uses: Command-Shift-3 or 4. I have done this for a long time. Now suddenly neither screen shot works anymore. Suggestions how to get this useful function back? Thanks, Georgx

Command-Shift-3 and 4 works just fine on several Macs that I have here.
Try restarting your Mac....or post in the specific support area for your Mac model....for more advice.

How do I take a screen shot on my macbook pro?

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.

Capturing a screen shot from a DVD?

Is it possible to be watching a commercial DVD on my computer and capture a screen shot from that DVD that I could eventually then print? (I put this question in iPhoto because I imagine it would come into play at some point.)
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can but you will need a 3rd party application to take the screenshot. The system's screenshot feature will not. I use Snapz Pro X which takes screenshots, video screenshots, etc. But it's a little pricey. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for screenshot. You'll find a number of canididates that you can demo and see which will do the job for you.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

How may I make my screen shots default to a .jpg instead of .png

How may I make my screen shots default to a .jpg instead of .png?
Is there a preference somewhere?

One easy way is:
Changing the File Format
In order to change the file format you must firstly open up a Terminal window (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app), and type the following.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type TYPE
For the command to work, you need to replace “TYPE” with a valid file format, the available options are:
png (default)
pdf
jpg
jp[2 (jpeg 2000)
gif
tiff
bmp
pict
tga
Once you have selected your format simply issues the command, placing the file format in it’s space. For example for a JPG, I would issue:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg

Lost my ability to capture a screen shot.

my shortcut for capturing a screen shot stopped working suddenly
it was, then stopped & started again...now gone!!
What's up with that?
and it made the "loser" noise when you the key combo
help
i find it a useful tool
thanks in advance

tnd function keys checked, but i found a key on the keyboard labeled "fn"
when i hit it a top row function key engages...if i hit the top row key without tapping the "fn" key the loser noise occurs & obviously key doesn't work
i have never run into this before!!
had wireless before!!
this is the new smaller one that comes with new imacs
also i f i keep the fn key depressed i can manage to dim/brighten etc for as far as i need, but if i release only one movement placement is made.
all the function keys work now, but i must hit this "fn" key
there is obviously a command i must engage to work correctly & seamlessly.
i am on target by apple to send a new keyboard but if i don't need to wait for one ..i'd be happier.
any ideas out there??

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!

It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.
