My print screen function won't work on my iPhone 4S anymore

My print screen function (power and home button being pressed at the same time) has stopped working on my iPhone 4S.  Have I accidentally turned something off? Is anyone else having this problem? 

Well, thanks to a co-worker that was having the same problem on her iPhone 4 and new iPad, we figured out the problem. It is the Good for Enterprise app we have running on our devices for our business' email. Due to our business' policy on the phone, the screenshot is disabled as long as the policy is in effect on the phone. Sure wish they would've told us. Hopefully, this will help anybody else who's having the same problem.

  • Print Screen Function Doesn't Work

    I just purchased a new 15.4" Pavilion laptop (DV5-1235dx) and cannot get the Print Screen function to work.  I've tried everything.  One source tells me to hit ALT and PRTSC at the same time.  Another HP help suggestion says to hit the FN and PRTSC keys.  I get no copy/paste function whatsoever.  I also tried the shift key and PRTSC and it was no dice on that either.  On my laptop...the PRTSC and INSERT key share the same key. 
    A routine function like this should not be this difficult.
    Anybody out there got a suggestion or two about what to try. HP Support has been, frankly, awful.

    Below find two possible answers to your issue on Print Screen.  I hope one or both of these help.
    1. Print Screen
    2. Snip
    Print Screen:
    Which keys one uses to get a screen print does depend on the OS (eg. Vista or Windows 7) and the keyboard hardware.
    Example:  HDX 18T requires a simple keystroke (PrtScn)  for the Active Window and Alt - PrtScn for the Entire Window.
    In the Help file for same is noted the following.  See Below.
    It is somewhat rude that it's not the same for everyone - it is not unknown to be the case.
    Open your help files and look up "print screen" - ask if you need assistance to get to "Help".
    Below find a link to the manuals that I believe are for your laptop / Notebook.  Your answser may be there if you cannot find it on your system's own help files.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/D​ocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en​...
    Help file from an HDX 18T:
    Snip:
    Windows 7 has a "snip" command that one can use to grab any bit of the screen and make it into a .png file.  It's quick, easy, and fast.  Additionally, simple annotations can be added with a "pen" of different colors (circles, and such) to mark the picture as desired.  Brilliant!.  Vista may have this command as well.
    Print the .png file if you need it on paper, embed it in Word, email, whatever...
    Help file on Snip (shown as a "snip png file):
    Good Luck!

  • Openbox Print Screen keybind Won't work

    In .config/openbox/rc.xml i've got:
    <!-- Screenshot -->
    <keybind key="Print">
    <action name="Execute">
    <command>scrot -q 100 -e 'mv $f ~/Screenshots/'</command>
    </action>
    </keybind>
    Nothing happens when i press the Print Screen key.I checked with Xev and X detects the print screen key as "Print", why is it not working? How can i make it work?

    It works for me, it just uses the default filename if i don't specify one.
    The command from the man page is
    scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
    my command is
    scrot -q 100 -e 'mv $f ~/Screenshots/'
    It is the command from the man page minus the filename part.
    It seems I don't have to specify file name, the command works perfectly fine on my end, dunno why it fails for you :I (perhaps you don't have ~/Screenshots/ ?)
    I can try changing the command though, nothing to lose i guess. I'll just make it execute something i know to work, like terminator...
    Yes, i changed the keybind to "W-w" from "Print" and it opens terminator, but if it's set to "Print" nothing will happen.

  • How to use Print Screen function (part deux)?

    The previous thread for the Print Screen function has been marked as read only, and won't allow any replies. I tried all of the suggestions (PrtScr, CTRL + C + PrtScr, etc.) and then CTRL V into MS Paint, but Print Screen still doesn't work on my machine.
    I'm running Win 7 on a HP Pavilion laptop cv7-6b32us. I suspect there's a switch somewhere in Win 7 or HP that allows the key to be turned off. I know of this because my previous employer did not want anyone doing print screens due to HIPAA violations. Thus, the functionality was turned off. Those of us in I.T. were provided a third-party software that aloowed us to do the same function, but it was not released to the physicians or nursing staff. If I have to, I'll go out and buy the software. I really need this functionality for a class I'm taking.
    Thanks!

  • How to use Print Screen function?

    I've seen various descriptions of how to use the print screen function.
    It would be nice to actually be told one that works.  None have worked for me.
    [Fn] and Prt SCr does not work.
    Ctrl and Prt SCr does not work.
    Ctrl, Alt, and Prt SCr does not work.
    [Fn], Ctrl, and Prt SCr does not work.
    If anyone knows the correct method of activating the print screen function that would be good.
    From the looks of things HP has a big problem with this function.
    This question was solved.

    On my notebook, the Insert key and the prt sc key are the same key, but the prt sc has a ring, around it, if you know what I mean.
    On the bottom left of my keyboard is a key that has fn with a ring around it, or I guess you could say it is in a little box.  By the way, there are a number of keys that have two functions on them, and to activate the second function, you must press the fn key at the same time as the desired function on the key.  In this case press the  fn key and  the prt scr key, and that puts an image of the screen on the clip board and then it can be pasted into Word or where ever.
    Here is somethine else you might like, if you can get it to work as I described above.
    To print only the active window, and not the entire desktop or the entire screen, you can do that by pressing the alt and prt sc at the same time.  Then it only captures to the clip board the window, and not the entire desktop. Oh, and in the scenario with the fn key, it has to be pressed also, so actually it's pressing the fn and alt and print screen all at once.
    I just performed each of the instructions above, and they worked well on my EliteBook 8440. 
    Hopefully you have the same experience,

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

    Hi there,
    I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
    I've done the following, but it still won't work:
    1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
    2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
    3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
    4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
    The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
    Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
    Best Regards,
    A new Walcom user in desperate

    I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try.  Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
    Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
    Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
    http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

  • IPod function won't work on iPhone 4

    My iPod application won't work on the iPhone 4. I can play YouTube videos, listen to previews on iTunes, but for some reason whenever I hit the play button on a song in iTunes it doesn't start on any of my songs. I've tried the lyrics app to play music, I've tried powering off and restoring it by holding home and power down and still nothing, help!

    Read in another thread a solution that worked for me. Basically, you need to delete the music from the phone and re-copy from iTunes with 2 syncs. In the music tab, uncheck the boxes in the playlist, artist and genre option, removing all music from the phone, then sync. Then, re-check the desired music to copy back to the phone and sync. Music should play now from the phone.
    I echo the sentiment of another poster that iOS4 really is a disaster. Problem like this should have been solved before release.

  • Photoshop Print Screen/Paste colors not working any more

    System. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with Adobe CS4
    One thing I do all the time is this:
    Have something like Windows Internet Explorer open on a web page.
    I want a screen shot of Windows IE. So I press Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen.
    Then I open Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) and go File/New and accept all the defaults.
    Then I press Ctrl-V to paste in the screen capture.
    Pretty standard stuff and it used to work fine. But recently it stopped working. Now when I paste, the colors displayed in Photoshop for the screen capture are all off. However if I save the file as a GIF or something, and open the GIF outside of photoshop, it's all good.
    I've tried all sorts of things to fix this. Nothing seems to work.
    Anyone know what is really going on here? This seems to have happened after performing some Windows updates.

    So how do I set up a "good custom monitor profile"?
    This is why people calibrate and profile their monitors. If you had a calibrator this wouldn't be a problem (and they're not that expensive).
    What you need is a profile that accurately describes the behavior of your particular monitor. Chances are the Dell profile does that better than sRGB, and a custom profile from a calibrator would be even better. Then Photoshop, which is color managed, will use that profile to display the image - but Internet Explorer, which is not (or not fully) color managed, will not use the profile.
    So there will be a difference between the two right there, and Photoshop will be right, and IE wrong.
    The way this works is similar to any other profile conversion, like when you convert a document from, say, Adobe RGB to sRGB. Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. This way it compensates for the peculiarities of your monitor and what you see is what the file "really" looks like.
    So you can see what happens if your document profile is sRGB, and your monitor profile is sRGB: nothing happens. No profile conversion, no color management. This way Photoshop behaves exactly as Internet Explorer does. Everything you see on-screen, color managed or not color managed, will match. But it won't be right. One way to simulate this (with a good monitor profile) is to proof to Monitor RGB.
    As for the screenshot: when you paste that into a new document, the RGB numbers will refer to the monitor profile, not the document profile. This is why you assign the monitor profile to make it look like the original. Then you convert that to sRGB (or Adobe RGB etc) to bring it into a standard color space.
