Restore screen captures from Preview app

I have had to wipe my drive clean and re-install the OS. Before it was re-installed, I had quite a few Preview screen captures that I forgot to save to the drive. When I would quit the app, they would re-appear, so they were being retained somewhere. Is there any way to restore those images from my backup? I can't restore the app as the software won't allow it, and I can't open the backup in Time Machine. Is there any way to get those images back?  TIA,

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Screen Capture from DVD?

    This is probably the wrong place to post, but I need help in a hurry. Is there a way to do a video capture from a DVD movie that is paused? I need to get a photo and the only place I have it is in a DVD movie.
    Thanks,

    .. if you're entitled to do screen captures from that DVD, simply use a different DVDplayer app:
    VLC http://www.videolan.org/
    open the DVD with VLC, and the usual Apple tools as mentioned above are available ..

  • Unable to exit full screen mode from any app

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion today and I noticed something wrong. In Lion I used to be able to exit full screen mode from any app by pressing esc or clicking the exit full screen mode button on the top right corner of the screen. Now neither of those seem to work, in fact the menu bar doesn't even come up when I get the cursor to the top of the screen. Tried this on many apps, some system apps, always the same. The only way I found that works is pressing fn + ctrl + F2 (or ctrl + F2 depending on the function keys setting).
    I checked the console and found this message appears whenever I go into full screen
    WindowServer[79]: CGXRegisterWindowWithSystemStatusBar: window 10 already registered
    Anyone having the same issue?
    Any solutions found?

    Thanks for replying so fast.
    I tried a couple more times and now the esc key method seems to be working, maybe it the cursor focus had something to do with it not working earlier.
    But I still can't get the menu bar to drop down when I get to the top of the screen.
    Did a PRAM reset, but no cigar.
    Do you mean reinstalling over the current installation or installing fresh and recovering from a time machine backup?
    In any case I think I'll wait a little bit more before I do any of that, it really bothers me to have to reinstall the whole system to fix something as insignificant as this. It's still a little annoying though.

  • Taking screen captures from video

    I have a video on iphoto and i want to know if there is a way to save screen captures from that video. Thank you

    With "Grab" you can capture the screen, a window, a section, or a timed screen.
    You will find "Grab" in Applications -> Utilities.
    Just start "Grab", and then in iPhoto navigate your video to the frame you want to capture, then take the screen shot.

  • How to restore package contents for preview.app after Mac OS X Lion upgrade

    since installing Mac OS X Lion I have been totally unable to run Preview.app. After having attempted to troubleshoot the problem I discovered that the package contents for the Preview application no longer existds on my hard drive. Does anyone know where I can obtain a another copy of the preview application? or how I might go about restoring the package contents for Preview in order to run Preview.app?

    Use Pacifist to extract it from the InstallESD.dmg residing inside the Install Mac OS X Lion.app.

  • Screen Captures from DVD Player?

    I'm using the Apple DVD v3.2, and am wondering if it's possible to catch screen captures (to use for my desk top)....from movies.
    I just read the Quicktime question for screen captures, but that didn't work for the DVD player.

  • Is it possible for me to screen capture from one desktop while working on another desktop?

    I would like to use QuickTime screen capture feature on Mountain Lion to record a video from Desktop 1, while working separately on Desktop 2. However, QuickTime records this by following my movements to Desktop 2 and then recording what I am doing in Desktop 2. Is there any way around this (either using Quick Time or perhaps a different program/software)?
    Thanks

    No.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • How can I restore photos lost from an app?

    I tried to install iOS8 yesterday - it wasn't straightforward and I ended up having to restore my phone from the backup I had just made. Whilst most things  have restored okay, there are a couple of apps which have lost data that I very much want to recover. Can anyone offer any advice?

    Pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly, most especially before any update.
    If you failed to import your pics, then they are very likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

  • Exporting Video Screen Capture from iPod Touch

    I'm looking to export video of me using an app that we have developed on the iPod Touch to export as a video (in the same way that screenshots can be captured). Does anyone know if a) There's an app for that , or b) if there's a cable that I can plug into the ipod that will plug into my MacBook Pro (ie not the Griffin aircraft cable) to give me a high quality screen capture video? I'm finding that using a video camera of using the app isn't giving high enough quality for what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks.

    What happens if you tap "more" under music?
    Is there no video option there?

  • Importing screen capture from Quicktime X

    I am in the process of making training videos for my job. For a couple videos I want to show how to access certain areas of a website. I have been doing screen captures of these using Quicktime X. They are recording at 1920x1200 with a frame rate around 9fps. My timeline in FCP will be 1920x1080 at 29.97, upper-field first. I will be working with pro res 422 from AVCHD camera files. For the life of me I can not get these screen captures into FCP. It says invalid format, and I'm guessing it has to do with the frame rate. I tried converting these screen captures to pro res 422 at 1920x1080 in Toast 10, and while they converted, the videos then played back super super fast in FCP, probably adjusting to the frame rate.
    Can someone help me figure out a good way to do this?

    There are a couple of things that will absolutely make you task rife with challenges; one is that 9fps will cause the screen capture to play back in a 29.97fps or even a 24fps video sequence way, way fast! Optimum solution is to capture at the same frame rate that you will be editing your training video in. Hopefully you can do that over and adjust the frames per second. The other issue is that your screen capture is not in a video resolution. Regardless, you should be able to set in the resulting video of the screen capture and keep the aspect ratio, and either size it to fill or fit within the 1920x1080 sequence frame. As for the frame rate difference, it's just extremely different, so you may need to conform it in Cinema Tools and then slow it down by using command- J (apple key + "J") and entering a percent under 100, somewhere around 30%.
    So basically the best solution is to be able to do your screen capture at 29.97 fps but if you're past that opportunity, then conform the clips in Cinema Tools to 29.97 and slow the clips down.

  • DVD builds with screen captures from Camtasia Studio

    I cannot get quality DVD builds from Encore when the avi input is from Camtasia Studio.
    From Camtasia, I export to full uncompressed avi. The DVDs come out blurry or twitching or both. I have tried the avi files in Premiere with the same results. This file does not seem usable by Encore or by Premiere. I also tried exporting to mp4.  I have tried different aspect ratios and frame rates.
    Any help is appreciated.

    my video is still blurry when I play it in Premiere. I used all the same settings you used in the tutorial
    Then as I said earlier, it's likely that you are running into problems with scaling and interlacing/deinterlacing the footage.  Investigate the frame size of your source screen captures as compared to the frame size of your Camtasia export and as compared to the DVD frame size of 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).  Investigate whether you interlaced the footage on export from Camtasia or on import into En or Pr.  Screen caps are always progressive. Also pay attention to your frame rates; encoders that output legal DVD video handle 29.97 fps, 25 fps and 23.976 fps differently.

  • White screen bug on preview app (iMac 5k)

    i have a problem with the preview app on a iMac 5K. When I try to open a picture taken with my Nikon D800 (36 Mpixels) for an half a second I can see the picture and after that time the window became white. The problem is solved if I try to open another picture: with two pictures on the same windows, everything works fine.
    Anyone has experienced the same problem or have any suggestion for fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • TS1702 How to restore my applications from the App Store after changing my country?

    I had changed my country inside my Apple ID and I couldn't retrieve my purchased applications after that
    Anyone have solution for such a case

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases
