How to record the screen in snow leopard ?

how to record the screen in snow leopard ?

Must I find it myself !
Well you could try Google :-)
I am unsure if you want a static image, or a movie recording of what you are doing on your screen.
Images can be done using Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, and Command-Shift-4-Space.
3rd party utilities such as Skitch will allow you to annotate the image after you capture it.
Making a movie of your screen activities can be done usng Applications -> Quicktime
There are 3rd party screen records such as Snapz Pro, ScreenSteps, etc...
And of course you can do a Google search.

  • How can I make folder View Options the default in Snow Leopard?

    Hi everybody! Here I am, learning to Mac!
    When I do a secondary click on an open folder's background and click on +show visualization options+ (actually, +mostrar opciones de visualización+ in spanish), there's an option +set as default+ ( +ajustes por omisión+ ) which, as far as I understood, should change all the rest folder's aspect, as icon's size, font size, background image and so on... but all the rest folder's aspect keep being shown as before, just the folder where I am working changes.
    My questions are: if I am wrong with the use of that "ajustes por omisión", what is it for? And how can I personalize the aspect of all folders on my mac?
    Thanks for your help

    It's "show view options" in English. Also obtained by typing CMD+J
    Those only apply to the top-level folder. Each folder you open uses whatever you've elected to use as the defaults. Select a folder, CMD+J, set the view as you desire, click on Use as Default button. That setting will be used for all windows that you open in the future that have never been opened previously. All other windows that you opened will retain whatever view you previously selected for them.
    If you want to reset everything to one view, close all open Finder windows, launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up,
    find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
    hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, open a Finder window, CMD+J, set up the view options as desired, click the Use as Defaults button, and close the view options window. Now, every Finder window you open will have this view.

  • How can you record the screen of any device with no computer and no jailbreak?

    I would like to record the screen to record my gameplay and other stuff. Please help.

    Josh, this was my first gripe when I moved to IronPort toward the end of 2008; I forget the version of Asyncos we were on then. Remember that the design philosophy (as I'm given to understand it) is that you shouldn't have to nursemaid it as much as some other gateways, though achieving that is more a question of developing robust mail policies than simply plugging in the device and running the setup wizard.
    I found the Asyncos GUI a bit of a pain to work with for header analysis, but I've adapted over time. It's only an annoyance now when you need to see an attachment file name that scrolls across three or four screen widths, and by comparison SharePoint gives me more grief in that department (we're on a paleolithic version here).
    For some things we send a copy of quarantined items out to a dedicated mailbox only accessible by staff monitoring our gateways; for more details see my posting in your thread "Can't View Video Files Attached To Emails".

  • How do you switch back to snow leopard, lion is crap?

    How do tou switch back to snow leopard? Lion is crap, so dissapointed.

    Keep the inflamatory comments down or the thread will disappear, as long as your questions are supported related it's fine.
    Here's how to go back to Snow.
    How can I uninstall OS X Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?
    1: Copy your user file folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, not Library) to a external blank Disk Utility formatted HFS drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives. Make a note of your username and hard drive name. Write down any essential information like passwords stored in keychains and product serial keys.
    2: Stick the 10.6 installer disk into the machine and reboot holding the c key down. Second screen in choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    3: On the left select the hard drive makers name of your internal boot drive (important) then click Erase and Erase... button (if you want to wipe the drive of all lingering data then choose Security Option>Zero all data) when choosing a name for the drive, use the same drive name as before.
    4: Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup, reboot and use the same user name as before. Software Update, install programs from fresh sources (enter any serial keys) Hold Option and click on Purchases in AppStore to redownload (not Lion of course) and then finally return user files to their respective folders on the Snow Leopard drive.
    5: If you have issues with iPhoto, you can right click on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package contents" and in there is a folder with all your originals. Copy them out and delete the iPhoto Library and reboot, restart iPhoto and it should be recreated, which you can then import your copied originals again.
    Note: using the same drive and user name as before, returning files exactly into their respective Music, Documents and Pictures folders like before matches any pathnames some files like iTunes has to the location of your files. If not done, then exclamation points will occur in iTunes when you click on a song. The iTunes Library will have to be opened in Text Edit and all the partial pathnames "find and replace" corrected to repair.
    Optional, but recommended.
    Ideally it's best to first Carbon Copy Cloner the 10.7 internal to another blank external HFS drive before doing the above steps 1-5 as that way you have a copy of everything in case you missed something or you need to hold option boot from the 10.7 clone. The clone can later be erased and used as a 10.6 clone. Or reversed cloned back onto the internal drive or as many external drives as needed. (don't boot a clone on a different Mac, you can access the files though)
    Clones are hold option key bootable, TimeMachines drives are not.
    Note: The above steps are ONLY for Mac's that didn't come with Lion preinstalled. For reverting a factory Lion to Snow Leopard requires other methods.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Menu Bar (Snow Leopard)?

    Without using an external program, that is.
    I know you can change it with an external program, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify it from within OS X's files themselves?
    A similar question might be asked about the Dock, or Snow Leopard's Exposé.
         All modifications are done by navigating to: Mac OS Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/
              Modify Exposé: expose-window-selection-big.png (for non-minimized windows), expose-window-selection-small.png (for minimized windows)
              Modify the color of the Dock: scurve-l.png, scurve-m.png, scurve-sm.png, scurve-xl.png
              Modify the color of the divider between apps and folders on the Dock: separatorstraight-horizontal.png, separatorstraight.png
              Modify the icon in the Dock when Stacks are activated: pileArrow.png, pileLeftArrow.png, pileRightArrow.png

    I agree that major OS upgrades (e.g. Snow Leopard to Lion) will probably change things back to normal, and I don't entirely trust external programs to change things for me.
    I'm going to stick around with Snow Leopard for a while though, so I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to directly change the Menu Bar files themselves. The aforementioned modifications are just changes to the Dock's standard PNG files, so it's relatively easy to alter its color/design (backing up the original Dock.app just in case).

  • I upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

    i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

    IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
    1- the restore disks that came with your computer
    Or
    2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
    Or
    3- the App store

  • How do I get my new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade to be 10.6.8?

    Earlier today I backed up my leopard (on my new external hard drive, $89.99) and installed my new Snow Leopard upgrade (purchased from Apple for $19.99). They sent me 10.6.3, however, it looks like I need 10.6.8 to get the new itunes which was my reason for upgrading in the first place. My son got the ipod touch 5th generation ($225) which requires the new itunes. How do I get my new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade to be 10.6.8? The price tag is adding up quickly!

  • How can I go back to snow leopard my epson stylus Photo TX810FW does not work with Lion

    My Epson Stylus Photo TX810FW printer does not work with Lion how do I go back to Snow Leopard?

    Did you try removing the printer from the queue and then reinstalling it?
    I attempted to print this morning for the first time after upgrading to Lion and discovered that while everything appeared normal on my Epson printer, it would never print.
    I opened System Preference > Print & Scan and deleted the printer.
    I then added the printer back and it now working again. Worth a shoot first I should think.
    Much easier the a downgrade.

  • I need to update my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6, I believe its the one before snow leopard and is just called leopard.

    i need to update my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6 on my mac mini, I believe its the one before snow leopard and is just called leopard.

    You seem to have your OS's confused.   Your profile says 10.6 but you are asking to update from 10.5.8.
    10.5.8 is Leopard.   It is also the highest level of Leopard you can achieve.
    10.6.(x) is Snow Leopard.   And 10.6.8 is the highest level you can achieve.
    If you have 10.6 then all you will need to do is download and apply the combo updater.
    If you have 10.5.8, then you will need to review the machine ... Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
    Subject the machine will take it, you will then need to buy Snow Leopard from your National on-line Apple store.
    Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.   Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, your upgrade will take you to 10.6.3 and you then will need to apply the Combo updater.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
    This will give you the best and highest level includine the App Store.
    Good luck.

  • How far should I upgrade from snow leopard

    how far should I upgrade from snow leopard.  I just installed more RAM for a total of 4 GB.
    Thanks

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing. 
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.
    Bootable USB Flash Drive – Diskmaker X
    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. Personal opinion, I'd stay with Snow Leopard rather than Lion.

  • How can I get rid of Snow Leopard?

    When Lion was released I installed it in it's own partition on the HD of my Macbook Pro. I can change between starting with Snow Leopard or Lion by choosing either " start up with Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Mackintosh HD" or Mac OS 10.7.1 on Lion.
    I am now happy enough to use Lion full time but I cannot seem to manipulate the partitions in any way.  Do I need to re-install Lion on the HD over Snow Leopard? Will that get rid of the existing Lion partition?
    Many thanks

    Ok, this is what happened
    1: You had Snow Leopard already installed which takes the first (and fastest) part of the hard drive
    2: You added another partition, formatted it HFS and installed Lion into it, likely there was no Recovery Partition installed when this occurred, Lion takes the second half of the hard drive which is slower.
    Now you want to get rid of the Snow Leopard partition and merge the two partitions together, unfortunately this is not going to occur with Disk Utility or even renaming Snow Leopard "BOOTCAMP" changing it's format to MSDOS and using Bootcamp to merge the two partitions.
    Also you need to address having the Lion Recovery Partition installed and moving Lion to the front part of the drive and utilizing all the space on the drive again.
    What your going to have to do is Carbon Copy Cloner both Lion and Snow each to their own blank HFS formatted external drives and disconnect.
    Hold c and reboot off the Snow Leopard install disks, erase the entire boot drive (select the makers name) and format HFS, install Snow, go through the setup (don't transfer files or install programs yet) Software update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore to option click on Purchases and redownload the Lion installer and install. This will restore your Lion Recovery Partition. (if you use the Lion boot DVDs on a blank drive, it will install the Lion Recovery Partition too, just not when you install into a partition like you did before)
    Once your fine on that, hold option and boot from the Lion Clone and clone that to your Lion partition and you'll be set.
    Carbon Copy Cloning defragments and optimizes on the fly by writing the files and folders according to their alphabetical order in the root directory, thus Applications is first and Users is last (Users being the most subject to change). As drives are fastest at the very front and slower as you work inwards, Applications and System will be faster (as they are smaller than Users) and Users files loading and write speeds will depend upon how much there is, which a person can easily control. As a result the boot drive stays optimized longer.

    The Snow Clone is a extra bootable backup and in case you decide to clone that to a second partition later.
