How to screen capture in Mac OS

Can anyone advised me how to do screen capture please? Thanks.

Hi joengz!
Command-Shift-3: Take a picture of the screen
Command-Shift-4: Take a picture of the selection
Command-Shift-4, then press Control while selecting: Take a picture of the screen, place in Clipboard
Command-Shift-4, then Spacebar: Take a picture of the selected window
Additional instructions, that can be found in Mac Help.
"To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want
in the picture.
To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then
press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. (If you
decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.)
If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape
key.
Screen shots are saved as PDF files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard,
rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste
the picture into a document."
"You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab application (in the Utilities folder)."

Just like you would with a Mac. Command shift 3 captures the whole screen to yourMac desktop and command shift 4 will capture a selection to the Mac desktop.

How to screen capture a computer video game being played??

Need a small clip of a kid playing a rather fast moving video game. Is there a way to capture that and then use it in FCP??
Thanks
John

The kid capture is no problem. I have plenty of cameras and will be able to map the screen capture onto a 3d computer monitor. Only thing I did not know how to do was how to capture the video and get it into a quicktime or .avi format.
Thanks

How to screen capture on asha 311

I've seen forumers with screen captures of some windows on asha 311.
how did they do it ?
or is it possible to screen capture on asha 311?
Nokia Lover since childhood.
my phones are 3120c, 303, and 311.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One "workaround" way would be to e.g. to go to RDA and use one of those devices to grab the screenshots. Depends on what do you need the screenshots for.

How to screen capture paper Layout model in oracle reports

Hi,
I have several reports and i need to be able to capture paper layout (model) view in pdfs or jpgs for presentation etc. Short of going and doing screen prints, is there an automated/batch way to do that since i have several reports. One path that comes to my mind is the XML route with appropriate style sheet that preserves the pdf look and feel)
Note that i am not asking to run a report with data which i can do manually, but instead need the layout model in the jpg/gif/pdf formats.
Thanks,

Hi
How do you know that your report server is up and running?

How to screen share two mac books?

I am trying to screen share a MacBook Pro (OS10.6.8) with an iBook G4 (OS10.5.8). I can set up computer sharing fine, but when i try to screen share and I enter my name and p/w I get an authentication failed message. I am absolutely sure I am entering the matching user name and p/w combination. To be specific, even when I connect sharing and use the same user name and p/w entered in screen sharing, authentication fails. What am I doing wrong ?

Take a look at Reflector:

Note that it won't give you control of the iPad from the Mac. You'll still have to change pages, etc. from the iPad.

How to capture System MAC address On internet

Hi,
I am doing internet based application. I want to capture user system MAC address when ever user is logged in to my application over internet. So please tell me how i can capture users mac address. please help me.. with out this i cant i go further in my process. please help
Regards,,

I think you're out of luck--the IP packets that come to your web server don't contain the MAC address; that would only be available on the LAN where the NIC resided. All the other components of the Internet don't use the MAC address (that's actually what the "Inter" part means).
I assume you're wanting to track unique users. You might try cookies or something of the like.
Best of luck.

How do I get a screen capture in Windows on MacBook?

I'm a new guy to Mac/Mountain Lion, but not to computers, so this question may be a bit dicey.
I have used Gadwin PrintScreen for years on Microsoft Machines. During Setup, I am allowed to use Ctrl+Printscreen but now I am using, only occasionally, Windows 7 x64 on a partition on my MacBook Pro/Retina. Considering that there is no Printscreen key on the keyboard, I can no longer use the configuration I am accustomed to in the Windows environment on my lovely, shiny Mac. Only combinations ofCtrl/Alt and F keys are allowed. I get "Can't use that key. Already assigned to, etc."
So then, my query is this, on the Windows side, what keyboard combo will allow me to get a full screen capture? I've tried everything and combed the Apple community to no avail. If there is no keyboard combination, what app can I use that will allow me to do so in a Windows environment on a MacBook Pro/Retina. Just a month old.
I know how to execute this on the Mountain Lion side, but that key combination doesn't cut it on the Windows side.
In closing, I hope the solution is an app download to allow me to choose a configuration.
Thanks for reading,
Kelly J.

Sorry I don't know of any key combinations that will do the same thing.

How can I change the screen capture default filename and location?

AS3 and AS4 screen capture keystrokes create badly named files in a bad location, i.e., picture1.png, picture2.png, etc. on the desktop. This is silly, as it creates un-differentiable files. I would at least like to change the filename template, and at best also the location that they go to, but I can't figure out how to do this, if it's even possible. (The filename should have a timestamp, not just a sequence number, for example: picture_200911181234.png or whatever -- pretty much anything but a simple sequence number!)

Use TinkerTool to change the download location for the screenshots. However, AFAIK, you're stuck with those names unless you a folder action to the download location such that it will change the names according to some scheme you devise. For that, try a google search for *folder actions mac*.

How to record video or use screen capture WHILE capturing audio from Logic??

Hi,
I want to record my self playing guitar and singing using my mac book pro built in camera. I want the audio to come from Logic so I can add whatever effects I want to the vocals. When I say audio from Logic I don't mean recording in Logic and adding it in post. I want it to be on the fly.
What I used to do was use the screen capturing program Snapz Pro. I would screen capture a box around photobooth for the video, and then record while having Logic's audio in the background. It screen captures my entire computers audio. So for example if I get an aim message the bleep would show up in the recording. Or if I raise the volume or lower it the little click sound fx would be in it as well.
Capturing the audio this way let me get Logic's audio effects in my video on the fly. It worked out great....until now! :/
I just got the audio interface "Duet 2". And am using a microphone instead of my mbp's built in one. When ever I tried to record and capture my systems audio - my entire computer would crash. Snapz Pro won't work with the system audio with the interface. It works fine without it though.
I then tried to use Quicktime's new movie recording feature. I see it only gives an option for microphone and now system audio. So I got soundflower to re route the audio but that doesn't help either. This is because when you capture this way you can't hear anything while your capturing. So if I were to record a video and wanted Logics audio in it, I would have to set the output to Soundflower first. So when I record I cant hear myself which defeats the purpose.
So my final question is, how can I record video while having Logic's audio? I don't need to record with the mic, because in Logic the mic audio is going thru the system audio with everything else.
I would like to use a process more similiar to Quicktimes straight movie recording instead of doing an odd way like I used to screen capturing a box around the photobooth screen.
Thanks

How can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

how can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

Hi,
Thanks for the response but I know how to do a screen capture but wanted to be able to capture myself interacting with the ipad ansd turn into a movie i.e. showing all the movement / animation etc as I interact.
I have now figured out a good solution. Using AirServer you can wirelessly connect you ipad to your mac/pc then using a video capture solution like Snapz Pro you can capture what you are doing to create the video.
Cheers
