Is there a way to take a screenshot on iPad with one hand?

I have a friend with only one working hand, and I have recommended an iPad to him. However, the only way of taking screenshots that I can find needs two hands. Is there another method?

I tried this approach and while it does work, with the latest iOS AssistiveTouch there's an even better way to take a single-handed screenshot:
1. Press the AssistiveTouch home icon to display the options overlay.  Hint: You can enable AssistiveTouch all the time or set triple-click Home to bring it up.
2. Press the Device icon.
3. Press the More icon.
4. Press the Screenshot icon.
And taking the screenshot this way also removes the AssistiveTouch overlay from the picture.
Thanks Apple!

  • Is there any way to automate creating screenshots of iPad apps?

    We have been just taking pictures of the screens by pressing the home button and top button at the same time. Just wondering if there is something out there that could make this process less time consuming.

    It's actually a pretty fast way, but I understand of you have to take several screenshots that it get's time consuming. You could press and hold content like pictures and directly save them to your camera roll but a real faster way to make screenshots isn't available.

  • Is there any way for Apple to recover my iPad with a cracked screen?

    I recently put my iPad down and discovered it was cracked when I picked it up. After a period of time the crack got worse and now it is across the whole top of the iPad.some of the pieces are falling out, but there is no real damage to the screen. Please help if you know if there is any way Apple could replace the screen, and for how much!!!

    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)

    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad

    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

  • Is there a way to take an existing PDF and make it into a form that will aggregate the responses?

    Is there a way to take an existing PDF and make it into a form that will aggregate the responses? 

    Sabian has pointed you to an older Acrobat X tutorial.
    It depicts the use of acrobat.com "workspaces".
    "Workspaces" are going away soon.
    See:
    https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4203 
    So, what is shown in the Adobe TV session is, basically, obsolete.
    For forms you may want to give acrobat.com's (now "Adobe Document Solutions) FormsCentral subscription service a look-see.

  • I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

    What if the owner is no longer with us is there a way to take off their account?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately not.
    If you are able to contact the owner of the Apple ID, ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.

    Hi Ktchast,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. 
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Cheers,

  • Is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)?

    hello everyone I've just switched from chrome to ff and I'm very satisfied. Just one problem, is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)? I've changed the colour of tab font (with userchrome.css) to white to improve readability but with white text is too bold. thanks !!

    hey thanks for the quick reply. here's a screenshot
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c2a2l69ci5zbq#bt6qrwr6ku8m5n6
    i think we just have to add some antialiasing in the userchrome.css? but i don't know the code.
    here's my modified userchrome.css
    /* Inactive Tab */
    tab:not([selected="true"]) {
    color:white !important;}
    /* Tab while loading */
    tab[busy] {
    color: blue !important;}
    tab .tab-text {
    font-size: 12px !important;
    /* tab font */
    tab .tab-text {
    font-family:Verdana !important;
    i read somewhere else the problem is more evident with white text on dark background
    thanks

  • Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

    I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
    (Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe -  on their devides and synching through cloud)

    You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
    Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
    In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
    Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
    Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
    Create 1 calendar called Kids
    Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
    Send invitations to each of them
    Son gets Son and Kids calendars
    Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
    So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
    If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
    Likewise for daughter.

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

    Nevermind, I got it working.
    I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

  • I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my apple id?

    I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my Apple ID?

    Yes if you go to http://store.apple.com/ on the top right under the search it will say "Account" or your first name. You will click or tap that and you will click "check order status" sign in. After you do that in the middle by the order date and number it will say "print invoices" and as long as your item(s) have been ship you will be able to see and print your invoice receipts. you can view items purchased in the last 18 months.

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
