Screen capture sees only Finder

My screen capture function does seem to work, but the only thing it sees is the Finder. When I press command-shift-4, it works just like in Tiger (plus the little coordinate numbers), and after a second or two a picture file appears on the desktop. But no matter what I was looking at when I captured, the picture shows only what was in Finder underneath the top application.

Update: An erase-and-install reinstallation fixed it.

    The app is not gone, it is impossible to remove it from the device.
    Check all home screens and folders.
    If you are unable to find it, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
    As a last resort, restore from backup.

    On Apple TV my photo stream only shows six pictures - how do I get all photos to use as a screen saver. I have reset several times but it still only finds six pictures!!!!

    I recently got apple tv but the photo stream only seems to show up those photos which I took in September and no others (ie. 20 out of around 100).  Any ideas why the earlier photos on my photo stream in ipad don't show up on apple tv?

  • Since Firefox 6.0 copying images, by either Win 7 fxn or by screen capture fxn's, no longer works

    -- At least, this is the way it seems... a letter I wrote first to the VMN Toobox staff (and to Firefox)...
    Hi VMN Staff/Inventor – and Hi to my favorite browser’s staff at Firefox,
    I must say that I really love your Screen Capture fxn for the VMN Toobox 4.25! I use it ALL of the time! Hopefully, I have sent you some money already. Tonight however something is really wrong! When I fired up the computer this afternoon and, as usual, was doing research for my office, some webpage logos wouldn't copy, so as usual I dropped down the VMN Toolbox selections, selected Screen Capture and arranged the capture bars over the image, got the yellow flash-across the selected area and pasted the picture in to the document. I looked and looked, reshot the image several times but unbelievably … THE SCREEN CAPTURE IMAGE on the document WAS BLANK!
    This NEVER occurred before. And, even after restarting the computer it still did not work.
    Then I happened to be in a document where VMN screen capture images had been added - they were ALL blank! Checking other documents - all screenshot images in all documents are blank, totally whited out, with the black lines of where the images used to be right there, emphasizing that something is gone. Like a painting stolen from a museum wall and the photon shadow is all that remains.
    I had not used Awesome Screenshot for quite a while, but there it was up on my toolbar - tried that - same damn thing! What's going on? I am pretty certain I let Mozilla FireFox go ahead and update from v5.x to v6.0 as soon as I signed on, and several add-ons were suddenly "no longer compatible," but as far as I can tell your software doesn't rely on any plug-ins. The Awesome Screenshot extension add-on for Firefox was still enabled, yet it did not work.
    Further troubleshooting - as I was at my desktop on the network in the office, I then fired up my laptop. This time I DID NOT allow Mozilla Firefox to update from v5.x to 6.0. The VMN toolbox screenshot worked fine! Uh, oh Firefox…?
    So, I will be sending this message to Firefox also - I detest Microsoft, only use their software at all only because I HAVE to, I almost never use IE v8.x or 9.x or wherever it is now - but can your people at VMN (and y'all at Firefox) explain how the only browser I use, Firefox, could possibly reach in to my documents file and cause the screenshots downloaded to the clipboard, then to documents, to suddenly no longer be able to be seen? Is this even possible?
    Lastly, maybe you know something about this - is there any way to actually "see" the clipboard - what's on it at any given time? I cannot find any way to access either file names or images existing on the clipboard no matter how much is on it, or what program I'm using. (An IT level/web developer person I am not, just a physician.)
    I have Windows 7 Professional on my desktop, 4GB RAM, the network/server can only use a 32-bit system type, and everything is highly maintenanced by myself and our IT team, so absolutely everything else is fine. On my laptop I have a Windows 7 Home Premium OS installed and working fine on a brand new HP Pavilion g4 Notebook PC w/ 4GB RAM, 64-bit system type.
    Any time to send me any ideas? Thanks. And you too, Firefox - what's going on?

  • Why doesn't markup in Mail app work on screen captures or pasted images?

    When in Mail app, If i right click and choose Capture selection from Screen I can take a screenshot which is inserted into the email.   The markup icon in the top right of the image never appears.  This is also true for images I copy and paste into the email.  It seems to me that being able to markup a screen capture is one of the most important use cases for this type of feature. 

    SteveTEXAS,
    When I right click and choose Capture selection. The image it places in the email will not show up on the recipients side. However if I use the Grab shortcuts on my Mac to take a screenshot then drag them in off the Desktop they not only show up on the recipients side, but Markup seems to work on them as well.
    I have no idea what would cause this. I think it would be something important to provide feedback to Apple about. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    You can find the Grab app in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
    Or you can use the keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. They will place them on your desktop.
    For a selection - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 )
    To select a whole window - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 ) > ( Spacebar ) > Click Window you want
    For whole display - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 3 )
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Need help in screen capturing for flash CS4 AS3

    Hi, i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! URGENT!
    I am currently doing Augmented Reality.
    I got my marker to detect my model but my problem now is how to screen capture the content that is in swf.
    (As in capture the dae model shown in the comp not from webcam.)
    & also i just want to capture the swf window not the whole desktop.
    I read online, they say its impossible?
    Or is it possible to call screen capture function in javascript to flash CS4? (LIke external data)
    (Moreover, does anyone know how to detect multiple dae models with different markers?)
    Anyone can help??? Thanks in adv!!

    My current program (Flash CS4, AS3) only can capture what the webcam sees.
    How do i change it to screen capture (something like print screen) with my .DAE models?
    In the case, when i click on the capture button, it print screen.
    Here's part of the code that capture what the webcam sees.
    private function captureImage(e:MouseEvent):void
       bmd.draw(stage);
       bmp = new Bitmap(bmd);
       bmp.x = 140;
       bmp.y = 40;
       addChild(bmp);
       capture.visible = false;
       saveButton.visible = true;
       discardButton.visible = true;
    Really really need help! URGENT!
    Thanks!

  • Screen capture of the front panel automatically

    I've got a VI that analyzes a data file and outputs a graph, some numbers/notes, and a pass/fail message to the front panel each time we run it. I want to be able to automatically save all that data into one easy-to-access file (no html) after running it, and ideally this would be accomplished by just capturing the screen of the front panel and saving it as a .jpg.
    I've looked up how to do this on the forums and searching the web, but no solutions have come up. I've looked at the "Get Image" method, but that only lets me get the image of one object in the front panel, and not the entire front panel screen. I read something about referencing the front panel as an global, and inputting that into the "Get Image" method, but I can't get that to work and don't know if that's possible.
    Is there a way to make a straightforward automatic screen capture of the VI front panel? How can I program that?  (Manually using the "pinrt screen" function off the keyboard and copying and pasting it won't be feasible for this application).
    -- Thanks for the guidance

    No sure why you couldn't find a reference to it but there is the VI method Get Panel Image.

  • 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

    Yes, they have not changed.

  • Advice on compressing screen capture movies for web ?

    Hello everyone,
    I just am curious about what is the best way to go for compressing screen captures so that they maintain the best clarity for text. I've gone back and forth between MP4 (improved) and quicktime movies set to h.264... I am just curious what the general opinion here of what is best to use? It seems that MP4 improved produces larger files with less quality... Also it was a little confusing to see that compressor's h264 option is for "apple devices" or "dvd studio pro" and thus doesn't offer streaming as an option as it does with mp4-- so the only way to properly produce h264 files for web is to use the quicktime option and select h264 as it's compression type? Is this correct?
    -patrick

    What is the frame size of your source clip, and what frame size have you chosen for your output?
    Exactly what settings have you tried so far? Please share some details
    I would recommend using the Apple > Other Workflows > Web > Download > QuickTime 7 compatible > H.264 LAN as a starting point.
    Set a frame size (i.e. 1280x800, 1024x768 or 768x480, if you have a widescreen computer display) and adjust the video bitrate accordingly. The frame size you choose, should be divisible by 16, 8 or 4, for best quality. Have a look at this article for more info on that: http://www.flashsupport.com/books/fvst/files/tools/video_sizes.html
    For more info about H.246 and macroblocks, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264
    For more details on getting the most out of H.264, have a look at the Apple tutorial Creating Amazing Video Content with H.264.
    1. Find the frame size you would like to end up with
    2. Adjust the video bitrate accordingly (set the keyframe interval to automatic)
    3. Enable Frame Controls in the Inspector window, and set the Resize Filter to Better or Best (gives you much better quality on downscaling, than without frame controls - do a test and see for your self)
    An other good tip, is to set an in/out point in the Preview window in Compressor, with a duration of maybe about 10 secs. That way you do not need to encode the whole clip just to test your settings. Add multiple settings, before you submit the batch. When it is done, see which one you think looks the best compared to file size.

  • Screen Capture default format in Tiger OS

    Dear Mac OS Fellows:
    In Tiger OS, the default file format for screen capture is "PNG." I want to change it to "PDF"!
    I found the command tips, never worked for me, on the net=>
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf
    killall -HUP SystemUIServer
    I tried those 2 commands. The default format is stil set to "PNG."
    Help please!
    Max NY

    Max--
    The reason why I try to capture screens with "PDF"
    export, is that I want to preserve the "vector"
    attribute of the type.
    To no avail! After saving capture as a PDF, I zoom in
    400% to check on the edge of the type. Disappointing
    enough! All become pixelated!
    Hmm. This may not be possible. The way I understand it, the screen is a bitmap, rendered by the OS. So, yes you can get a PDF of the screen, but it's just a bitmap in a PDF. That would be the same for any kind of application's windows where the text was drawn on screen, like a dialog box.
    The only standard tool I know of is the "Web Capture"
    in Acrobat Pro. v.7.
    Well, if you're interested in web pages, you can always just use "Print," but instead of printing, save your web page to a PDF from the print dialog. But, since you're "printing," you may find the printout isn't exactly like the web page. Especially if they use a different style sheet for print media.
    You can use this same trick with other applications, too, as long as they can print (and as long as they don't "rasterize," i.e., make bitmaps of, the type in their documents before they send them to the printer).
    I've never heard of a tool that could do what you want with any window. I think one would have to intercept the commands going to the graphics system before they actually get rendered for the screen, and I'm not sure that's possible.

  • Apple screen capture prefs

    Re-the Apple screen capture feature (command Shift 4) being unable to survive more than a few seconds, I seem to recall Michael Henley writing something about the possibility of a corrupted pref file.
    I could only find those 2:
    •Myname>library>Prefs>ByHost>com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.0014511699b0.plist
    •Myname>library>Prefs>com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist
    I didn't touch the first one (ByHost), but I tried removing the second one into an empty folder on the Desktop, and restarted.
    However, a new file was not created (and the crosshair worsened) so I just put the original file back.
    Is there anything I could have done to get a robust crosshair?
    Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.2)

    The gamma filter is where you will end up. This entire gamma situation is very confusing for all of us. In addition to the standard gamma differences between Macs and PCs, the different codecs have different assumed gammas. Animation works in a 1.8 gamma space, ProRes, and DV in 2.2. FCP expects a 2.2 color space from the video, but displays it correctly in a 1.8 space.
    All of this assumes that your computer monitor is correctly calibrated for both color and gamma.

  • Screen capture sound repeats every  30-40 seconds

    Hi all I need help! Last week in the middle of my work day nothing special, the system started playing the camera shutter / screen capture. I started timing between the shutter, every 30 seconds, very annoying - the camera shutter sound - same as the shift-4 screen capture sound and same as the sound that occurs when you press the back button in terminal. I have a 15 inch mac book pro. 2009 model.
    I wondered whether someone had installed a hidden shell script or apple script program and is capturing my screen and maybe sending it over the net.
    I have checked activity monitor and did not notice any programs running like "screencapture" or anything else like that. I have also turned hidden files visable on, but i can't find any screen capture directory or files: .jpg, .pdf, .png files I should be seeing lots of them for every 30 seconds per capture. Back to terminal here is my dump from ps ax command:

  • Automated Screen Capture

    I was wondering, can anyone think of a way of automating a method of obtaining a screen capture for a list of websites? E.g. let's say I have a list of URLs and I want to get a screen capture of each webpage, does anyone know how I might go about doing it quickly?
    The only way I could think of doing it was using the Robot package to swtich to a web browser, take a screen capture, and then process the image.... I was just wondering if anyone could think of a neater way of doing it?
    many thanks

    you said "I'm guessing java wouldn't be the best way to go. "
    I'm under the impression that java can do everything. The trick might be to find out how to do it.
    I
    'll propose one really bad and slow way to do it.
    There is already a swing component that will translate HTML code (that was gathered) into the actual web page.
    Now I believe there is a Robot API that will perform clicks of the keyboard and mouse and simulate an actual user at the computer.
    In this case , you could make it simulate the buttons to do a print screen .
    You could use the robot API to make it paste the result some place and do whatever transformations and saving of the object needed.
    I realize this is a bad way to do it because it is so slow. But it is automated.
    However I am under the impression there is a way to do this effectively and very fast with java.
    I'm guessing it would be using the new nio package in java 1.4
