  • How to I do a screen capture on macbook pro

    how do I capture my screen for use in e-mail or training?

    Or use the Grab utility found inside the Utilities folder. That will give you a tad more control of what gets captured and when. Since the result (from Grab) will always be a .TIFF file, you can use Preview to convert to other formats.

  • 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,

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

  • I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

    I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
    Here is an image of the issue

    I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
    Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
    Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

  • I cannot screen capture DVD's on my MacBook. Help?

    I've been trying to use movie clips for a project. Basically, I insert the DVD into my laptop, pull it up, get my QuickTime Player screen capture thing all ready and then press record. The moment I press record the movie "grey's out" and doesn't uncover iself until I stop the recording. Why is this? How can I fix it?

    That's a feature that's been included with the system and software for a while now so users can't duplicate copyrighted material which is illegal.

  • Bad quality in quicktime screen capture in maverics

    Why the quality in quicktime screen capture is so bad with maverick? It appears that all quality controls for quick time recording completely disappeared? Are there any possibilities to record screen again in HD as in the previous OS? Thanks in advance!

    I have a similar problem.  I used to reliably do screen recordings.  That is, I would do the screen recording, I would save the recording and I would be able to view it.  Now, I have intermittently been able to save the recording, but most of the time what I have saved is several minutes only of what should have been a much longer recording.  In the last two weeks, I have one recording of about 53 minutes....but otherwise all the recordings seem to stop early, I am unaware of it, I save the recording and it's only several minutes long.  Very bizarre.  Screencapture used to be reliable.

  • Is screen capture in Yosemite the same as in previous versions of 10.x?

    Not really a problem, just a question. I can only find screen capture instructions for Mountain Lion, on Apple support.
    I have MacBook Pro 8.1, with the latest version of Yosemite (10.10).
    Thank you
    Anne

    Yes, they have not changed.

  • Screen Capture blurry - no mater what

    I have a screen capture of software that is saved as a quicktime file. no mater what I do it is blurry in FCP. Even if I use compressor to convert it to DV first. It is not in the right aspect ration, is that what is causing my issues?
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I save from SnapzPro using the Animation codec at 30fps. I then have to use Cinema Tools to conform it to 29.97 (this bypasses a bug in FCP where you import your footage and it suddenly becomes 10fps). Then I import it into FCP, use this trick to get a timeline:

    Then I edit, export as a reference movie and use Compressor to compress it for the web.

  • My mac stops working after Screen capture (Cmd+Shift+4)

    Hi all,
    this is really a serious issue!
    After upgrading to 10.6.6, I have found a bug with the Screen capture feature.
    After several screen shots (CmdShift4) OSX is hanging. You can move the mouse, but everything else is frozen.
    I've tested it prior to the upgrade with 10.6.5 -> no problem
    I've tested it with 10.6.6 on 2 different Macbook Pros (different models) and both have the same issue with 10.6.6
    Please apple, fix this bug!!
    thnx
    viTus

    I don't think there is a bug for Apple to fix, as far as I can tell. I've taken plenty of screenshots using cmd-shift-4 since the update (I actually did a number just a few days ago), and my system is working just fine, as always. I also haven't heard any other reports of this kind of problem. So, the question is, what's going wrong with your systems?
    Since it's happening on two different machines, my inclination would be to blame third-party software you've got installed. Try [starting up in Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455]... does the problem still happen then? Safe mode disables third-party software that may be loading at startup/login, so if the problem goes away in safe mode, then it's just a matter of figuring out what software is causing the problem.
    Also, are you using any other third-party hardware, especially input devices, with both MacBooks when you're taking the screen shots? If so, try disconnecting all of it and use just the built-in keyboard and trackpad. If the problem goes away then, it's probably a hardware incompatibility.

  • Screen shots on MacBook Pro running Windows XP?

    I'm trying to take some screen shots on my MacBook Pro while it's running XP. I know on a Windows machine there is a key for "Print Screen". Is there a keyboard equivalent for the MacBook? Or if not, is there another way to get a screen capture while running XP? Thanks in advance

    I am trying to figure out the same thing. Did anyone figure out how to take a simple screenshot on the macbook pro in windows xp? Ive tried the alt + ctrl + P... that seems to want to print things. What is the equivilent to the print screen button from a dell machine to a macbook pro machine?
    Thanks!

  • Screen captures become corrupt as attachment in Mail

    I have created a screen capture (with shiftapple4) which creates an PNG image on my desktop. Then I create a new email message and attaches the screen capture (not using the Windows compatible attachment mode) and sends it.
    When doing like this the the attached image becomes corrupt. Regardless if I send it to myself (on my mac) or to a windows user using Thunderbird or Pine. I can't open the file and when I try to save the attachment to disk the file becomes empty (file size is 0 bytes). Pine gives a little more feedback and complains about errors in the Base64 encoding.
    The thing is, that if I first open the PNG file in the Preview tool and saves it to a new PNG file (save as...) it all works! It also works if I simply copies the file to another computer (linux) and back (using scp). I have no problem of sending any other attachments than the screen captures. I think this is very strange!
    Anyone have a clue what the error is?

  • HT201361 Can I change the directory where screen capture saves the png files?

    hi:
    screen capture questions:
    1) Can I change the directory/place where the macbook (maverick osx) screen capture it putting the png/images?
    Currently it is going to my desktop and I would like it in another spot.
    2) Can I change the default name to include a number e.g so each screen capture increments by 1 rather than telling sequence by time?
    thankyou

    If you use the Grab.app in Applications/Utilities, you can name the file whatever you want and place it whereever you want. Filenames are not automatically incremented, however.
    The disadvantage is that it saves the capture only in .tiff format, not .png
    But double-clicking on the saved .tiff file will open it in Preview.app, and you can then Option+Save As in .png format in that same folder, or elsewhere.
    Grab.app has some other nice features too, such as selecting a cursor shape to be displayed (or none), and doing a timed screen capture.
    And of course there are other apps...

  • Screen capture lag

    When I try to take rapid fire screen captures (5-7 caps/sec) using the shortcut keys, only a 3-4 of these captures will show up on the desktop, and it generally takes 5-7 seconds for them to call show up.  I never had a problem doing this until I reformatted/reinstalled snow leopard over the weekend - even when all programs are shut down this lag occurs.  Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • Xbox 360 Screen Capture

    I was wondering, what is the most effective way to take screen captures of a game I'm playing on my TV (high resolution, preferably), and place it on my computer for my website?
    I'm using a Macbook.

    I use one of the Eye TV Hybrid devices - it has s-video/composite inputs as well as the HDTV digital and analog TV signals.
    The manual says that you can use this arrangment to record from your game console (they claim that the delay through the device is sufficiently small to allow you to play the game using the computer as the screen). I've not done this myself but I have used it to record from my VHS player - not the same resolution you are after (but that it the 'fault' of the recorder) and the process works very well.

  • 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?
