I need to do a window screen grab, of the contents of a window with nothing else appearing-

I wish to do a window screen grab, but without any Shadow and  without any window Chrome ( without the header or footer of any OSX window )
- only the contents of the window should appear in the screen grab.
What is the terminal command to so this?
I know about this for getting rid / enabling shadows in a screen grab -
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
followed by this
killall SystemUIServer
…but there is also a command to get rid of window chrome from a screen grab
when doing command - shift - 4 and then pressing space and then clicking on a window.
This picture is what I don't want - no scoll bars no header. I just want the inner window - nothing else.
Thanks in advance. I have searched high and low - my laptop does it ok - I just cannot find the command any more.
Steve

rmgman,
This requires no more complexity than the usual Apple-Shift-4, then press space, then move your mouse to highlight a window and click to grab.
( after you have set up the disable chrome option in terminal - similar to disable shadow )
( You only need to do this once )
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool TRUE
and
killall SystemUIServer
Thank you for your reply and time all the same.
Steve

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

  • I need a field like "System.RelatedLinkCount" but where the count is linked items with a field in a certain state

    I need a field like "System.RelatedLinkCount" but where the count is linked items with a field in a certain state.
    e.g. I've got a WI with a field on it that tells me how many active bugs are linked to it. (I'm not actually counting active bugs, but hopefully you get the idea). 
    The only way I can think to do this is with a TFS plugin and catching the workitemchanged event. I'd prefer to do this entirely in the WI if possible? is there a way to do this? Thanks

    Hi TimB33, 
    Thanks for your post.
    As far as I know there’s no default WI rule support to get the specific WIT linked count, I think you need to create your custom work item control to achieve that if you want this field.
    For this scenario, please submit it to User Voice site at: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio. Microsoft engineers will evaluate them

  • Why is my Creative Cloud login screen showing a black window and nothing else?

    After using the Creative Cloud installer and the download looking like it was working, what I presume is a login in window has launched but it's just a black window with a white logo at the top. There is nowhere to enter any information and the only button that works in the window is a cog icon which allows me to quit.

  • How do I do a split screen to show the contents of my Library and a playlist at the same time?

    I’m using iTunes 11.3.1 on a current generation Mac running OSX 10.9.4.
    I like to manually create playlists.  I want to be able to see the contents of a playlist and my library at the same time. Is there a way to do a split screen view in iTunes so the songs in my playlist show in one window and the library shows in another?

    If you don't want Boot Camp and you don't want a virtual machine, go buy a Windows computer.
    Both Boot Camped Windows and Windows running in a virtual machine work well. Your issues are because of your lack of knowledge or understanding, not because Boot Camp and virtual machines are poor products. Universities, large and small businesses, home users, etc. use virtual machines to run their operating systems.
    Your statements about Boot Camp and Parallels are not the experience of thousands of users.
    Either find someone who is knowledgeable about running Windows on Apple computers to help you or buy a Windows computer. Believe me, if you find a way to install only Windows on your Apple computer without using Boot Camp or a virtual machine you will have more problems than what you have already experienced.

  • TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

    My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT3964 My screen appears, the apple shows up, but the circle just keeps spinning and nothing else happens.

    My screen is grey, the apple icon appears, the circle continues to spin.  I have shut done everything and restarted with the same result.  Any suggestions?

    The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. If your startup volume is encrypted with FileVault, you’ll have to unlock it in Disk Utility before you can do anything with it.

  • Have an iMac 2008/09 on starting today I have a white screen, an apple icon and a constant rotating sun, nothing else. I've tried turning off and disconnecting and reconnecting the power lead with the same results. Any thoughts? Many thanks Matt

    Have a 2008/9 iMac on starting up today I have only a white screen, apple icon and a continuous  revolving sun. Have tried turning off and on and disconnecting and reconnecting the power with no affect - any thoughts or advice please. Thanks Matt

    If your iMac came w/system DVDs, do the following:
    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your DVD that originally came w/the iMac while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

  • Finder window freezes, nothing else wrong

    For a few days now, every time I use a Finder window's spotlight search field, it starts collecting files right away but I can't scroll down and I can't close the window.  Oddly enough I can still run any program on my Mac Pro and everything is just as fast.  I can even fiddle with other finder eindows as long as I don't use the search field.  The only thing I remember updating recently was the last security update (and I'm running 10.6.8).  Nothing is disturbed really, I just relaunch the finer but I still use that search constantly and I'm much slower without it.  Plus I really want to know what's wrong anyway.  I don't like to let problems linger.  Thank you in advance.

    Denise,
    One tweek that I found most helpful in conserving system resources, significantly eliminating freezes and reducing hard drive thrashing was (literally eliminating spotlight) by the following steps:
    Go to Sytem Preferences; click on Spotlight & then the privacy tab -- then the + box.
    Drop down boxes will appear for you; then all you need to do is select your hard drive under "devices" (that is, whatever you have named it) and then select "choose".
    Thereby, you will have deselected & disengaged spotlight and eliminated a system-draining resource.
    You can most likely find anything you want on your computer without spotlight. I know that I do, w/no problems.
    Anyway, do whichever you feel most comfortable with.
    Oh, BTW, FreeMemory from the App Store is awesome too. It will let you know before your browser bogs down & you can reclaim several hundred MBs of RAM, STAT!
    Cheers,
    Michael

  • HT3743 I bought a used iPhone 3 from eBay my husband tried to update it and all that comes up on the screen now is the imei and iccid numbers with iTunes icon and a USB have I bought a dud or what

    I bought an iPhone 3 from eBay and when my husband tried to update it all that comes up on the screen is the imei and iccid numbers along with the iTunes icon and a USB. I can only use it for emergency calls as that is all that happens when I slide it on. Have I paid $250 for a dud phone or what can I do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated .

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unofficially unlock it. You can put it in Recovery mode, connect it to iTunes and Restore it in iTunes. Then you will need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial numbers and find out which cell provider it is locked to. After you get that information contact that cell provider and see if you can get it officially unlocked.

  • HT4623 I tried to update and now my screen is either all white or blue, I get nothing else

    I tried to update  and now my screen is either all white or blue and i get nothing

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help needed re document properties and tracing edits of the contents

    Hi there,
    We are in a situation where we believe a document may have been edited unethically and need to find out what the terminology means.
    The original document exists in print and we have been sent a 'copy'  of the same document via email several months later.
    The date created and modified, however, is very recent.
    We know the document has been altered as it is different to the original and are trying to find out when exactly it was modified.
    It is an acrobat document created on a Mac. In the document properties box it says 'Application: Word' so I guess that means that they created it in Word and saved it as an Acrobat file?
    It says the date created is 05/06/14 and the date modified is 05/06/14.
    Does this mean that the file's content has been changed or does it just mean that it has been saved etc?
    Any help very gratefully received!

    You can't really say anything. Files don't start out as PDFs, they start out as something else like a Word document.
    So, if you have the Word document, you can make a PDF any time.
    Edit the Word document any time, and make another PDF.
    Also, computer dates can be set by anyone any time. Dates in a PDF can be changed (though not by Acrobat, but it isn't rocket science). If you are looking into this from a legal point of view, dates on a document are worthless.
    Digitally signed documents have value provided they are signed in particular ways.
    Acrobat has a compare document facility, but all this will do is confirm the changes.
    To be honest, it sounds more as if they send you a new copy from the Word document, when it was asked for. Someone might have changed the document in the mean time, without tracking the changes in a way you'd have wished.
