How can I take screen grab in Mac OS to ask question here?

In Mac OS 10.6
I want to take a screen grab of part of my Arrtboard with panels open to post a pic here of some problems I am having, though when I enter Grab mode, it hides all of my panels and only shows my Artboard.
How can I take a screen grab of the artboard and panels?
Thanks.

apple key+shift+4
cursor will change to gunsight--drag outline around what you want to grab--a .png file should appear on your desltop

How do I post a screen shot here ?

Hi- I'd like to post a screen shot of a couple of items from the Event List but don't know how to get it here ......... can someone enlighten me please ?
Thanks, Kay.

I got it from another thread after a long time of searching but I'll try to repeat lucidly:
set up a (free) account at dropbox.com or flickr. I chose dropbox. Here are the instructions for when it's already installed:
Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder.
Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else.
It's simple. and it worked !
Glad to help. considering all the help I've received in this forum.

How to include a Screen Print in a reply here?

I understand that by pressing Command-Shift-4 you can call up a box to make a screen print of a window in Lion. Now, when I do that my iMac saves a file location of the image to my desktop, NOT the image itself. I would like to know how to paste the screen shot image into a Reply in these Forums. All I can paste is the file-location-on-my-computer so far. Help.

Well, it saves the image file to the desktop for me OK.
Try using Grab to make your screen shot and then post it here.

My MacBook Pro is running VERY slowly. After reading other questions and responses, I ran an EtreCheck, but do not know how to post the report here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to be able to monitor my teen daughter's computer from home using screen sharing. Anyone know how to set up screen sharing when my daughter's school has her computer set up for Apple Remote Desktop?

ARD won't be as smooth as you think over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.
This is the best and Mac friendly

How do I take a screen grab?

How do I take a screen grab so that I can email it as a whole image?

I'm sure there is software out there to do this for people but you can do it simply by doing the following;
Tap the "Print Srcrn" key on your keyboard!
Then launch your fave foto editor app.
Then "Paste" and you'll have the whole screen image.
Save it to your hard drive for future use and cropping etc!
There are also some other options;
"Alt" and "Print Scrn" will give you just the active window on your screen.
This is a nice option for creating visual instructions with images!
And lastly;
If all you need is a photo from a web page you can Copy & Paste it directly into an email! Not all but most images on websites work!

How do you post a screen shot?

How do I post a screen shot?
I have a red flashing bulls eye on my iphone.
I followed the direction to upload a screen shot
I do not see a camera icon to be able to upload The shot.
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 to highlight text in a screen grab?

I did a screen grab from imdb (Internet Movie DataBase) off the Internet. It's currently in .png format.
I want to highlight part of the text in the text in this picture as if I were using a yellow highlighter marker. I've tried everything I can think of but so far no dice.
It seems that the thing to do is to choose Tools > Mark Up, but Mark Up is grayed out.
I know this is possible because a guy I work with does it all the time. But it's too late to call him, and he's fairly irrascible anyway. And I know I did it once a while ago.
Can someone help? Thanks.

I'd never used Grab before, so just did so. It's an awfully simple app, it seems - offers some capture controls the keyboard commands don't (such as timed and full window), but doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than capture an image. Its Preferences are bare-bones.
I had to open my test image in Preview to make any annotations. That was easy - save the image in Grab to the desktop and name it, then a double-click of the file opened it in Preview.
So, we're back to Preview.
Don't understand why the annotation tools aren't available to you in Preview.
Edit - -
Just rebooted into Snow Leopard to do some testing. No matter what I tried, new screenshot using keyboard or Grab, fiddling with settings, I could not get Preview to not allow selecting the Rectangle tool.
Only other thing I can think of - do a Get Info on the screenshot file, check the permsissions at the bottom of the Get Info window.

How do I screen grab a specific folder on the desktop?

I want to screen grab a specific object on the desktop by using command+shift+4 and then spacebar so that the result would be an image file with transparent background.
When I try to use the grab function on the desktop, it highlights the entire desktop, thus not allowing me to select anything in particular i.e a file icon. The same happens in Finder, where it selects the entire window.
I swear I used to be able to do this, has this feature been discontinued since Yosemite?
I would simply just use command+shift+4, then select around the icon I'd like, but I want the icon to have a transparent background as I'm using it in web design and don't want to spend hours removing parts of my desktop from it on Photoshop.
Any suggestions anyone? Perhaps there's another way to do it that I haven't thought of?
Thanks!

Thanks Niel, that's close to what I need, however, I'd like the text underneath it like it is on a desktop.
I suppose it could be recreated in Photoshop, is there no way to specifically screenshot objects on a desktop?

How do I make screen arrangement permanent?

How do I make screen arrangement permanent? I set it in system preferences -> arrangement tab, but it switches back after a reboot. I have 3 external monitors. One being driven by the DVI port and the other two by two USB display adapters (Display Link with latest drivers installed). I have the DVI monitor in the middle and the two USB monitors on both sides.

Here is a reply I posted about Dual Monitor problems on another thread, whereby Mountain Lion forgets the arrangment of the monitors, I wonder if a similar approach may work with your particular case?
Possible Solution.... needs testing, but initial trial has been successful. Does this work for anyone else?
There are two .plist files I have identified which record the screen arrangement:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist (top level library, not user library)
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.FE******-****-****-****-**********2E.plist
(user library, where *** are unique code) I think the first drives the system arrangment (e.g., login window at startup etc), and the second is a user's own setup.
I modified the screen and menu arrangement through System Preferences, which modified file (1).
Using a text editor I copied and pasted everything into a new blank document and saved as com.apple.windowserver.plistthen duplicated the file and named it as per file (2). *even though there were some minor differences.
I backed up and deleted the windowserver plists from both the system and user preference (ByHost) folders, including the lockfiles.
Moved my new documents into their respective folders and rebooted... windows appeared where they were supposed to. (I should mention that I moved the screen and menu arrangement back to the 'wrong' way first, which showed me that the files had indeed altered the arrangement).
The question is - will this now hold?
Perhaps locking the file / changing the permissions to prevent the system updating it might help IF the problem reoccurs?

IPhoto adds ugly black border around imported screen grabs

When I grab a picture of an application screen (using cmd + shift + 4 and then hitting the space bar over the application), I get a screen grab that opens fine in Preview, but when I drag/import it to iPhoto, it adds an ugly thick black border around the whole picture. Why? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Old Toad wrote:
Missed the Command....... I have used that command and don't get the border except when viewing the file as an thumbnail in the Finder.
Do you have a MMe account? If so upload the screenshot file to the Pictures folder and use the following code to add it to a post:
Click to View Photo
You'll get this: Click to View Photo. It's a screenshot of the screenshot and it's presentation in Safari.
So, I can see immediately from the photo in the link above that you have not used the key combi I am talking about - was that intentional?
Anyway, here's the link, and you can quite clearly see the drop shadow.

Unable to open PNG's/ screen grabs in Photoshop

I can't open PNG's/ screen grabs in Photoshop. Can anyone help please?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
