SCREEN SHOT FEATURE NO LONGER WORKS

I was successful using the command/control/shift/4 key stroke process to evoke a cursor to frame a phto from my iMac screen - and then it stopped working! What do I need to do to get it to work again?

Make sure the shortcut is still set:
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Screen Shots (in the pane on the left)

  • Screen Shot Problem (No Longer Working)

    For some reason, I suddenly cannot take a screen shot! I'm using Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro, and I keep trying to take a screen capture shot of a website for a friend, but when I hit optionshift3 in both Firefox and Safari, nothing happens! I even restarted and the problem is persisting. Is there some way to fix this? I just can't figure out what I could have done to make this function not work any longer.

    Command + Shift + 3 for entire screen
    Command + Shift + 4 for selected area
    Go to Finder > Help menu. Type in "shortcuts for taking picture of screen" for more information.

  • ITunes 12 - "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" feature no longer works

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I've been having.
    Since updating to iTunes 12, the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' feature no longer works. When I add media to the library, iTunes doesn't copy it to a destination within my media library. It only works if I turn the feature off, and then back on again.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
    It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 11.01 the "Smart" playlists feature no longer works.
    I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list.
    I haven't changed the steps that worked for me previous to the upgrade.
    I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

  • 10.5.7: Automatic Software Update Feature No Longer Works

    Ever since I installed 10.5.7 the automatic Software Update feature no longer works. (Manual updates work fine.) For example, here's what happened today with Safari 4.0.2:
    1. After powering up I got the Software Update icon on the Dock.
    2. I clicked it and it said I had updates that would require a reboot and it asked the usual stuff. (It didn't say what would update.)
    3. I clicked to reboot now and it asked for my password and rebooted.
    4. My MacBook rebooted but nothing had been updated.
    So, I went to the Apple menu to check for updates and it said I had Safari 4.0.2 ready to be installed. This time, it worked. Unfortunately, I have to do this two-step process on every update that requires a reboot. I could turn off the automatic updates and just do everything manually but I prefer the automatic way. (I had it before, too.)
    Thanks in adavance,
    Brian

    Jeffery,
    Thank you for your quick response!

    I have check for updates weekly and download important updates automatically enabled.
    {quote}I'm thinking that the first time you approved the update, that it could have been for something that was already downloaded in the background, and just waiting for you to OK the install.

    Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. ☺
    {quote}There could be a host of other issues... but check the "installed updates" in the SU preferences, and see what, if anything, was installed right before the last Safari update... note the date and times and see if my theory might be correct.{quote}

  • After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

  • Quicktime "Share" feature no longer works for me.

    For the past year now I've been using Quicktimes "Share" feature to upload videos to YouTube. As of today, the feature no longer works. When I open a video, click "Share" and then "YouTube" absolutely nothing happens. I've tried with multiple different video files, even some that I previously uploaded using this same method, but to no avail.
    I rebooted the computer, and that did not help either. I tried some of the other "Share" options, but non of them work either. The most I've gotten was from the "iTunes" option, from which I got a drop down menu and a few export options, but after selecting my options and clicking next nothing happened.
    If it helps, I am on a 2011 iMac, running OSX Lion, and yes, everything is up-to-date (as of 07/04/2012)
    (Also, it may be worth mentioning that whenever I export a video from Final Cut, even though I have the option "When finished open in Quicktime," the files will not open automatically. This started happening at the same time as my other issue, but I'm nowhere near as concerned about fixing this.)

    Hey philipfromcharlotte,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble using AirPlay from an iPhone and iPad to an Apple TV. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,

  • 10.8.4 Screen Brightness Keys No Longer Work

    I ran updates this morning and I assume it updated to 10.8.4 from the app store updates tab.
    After this update and booting back up the screen brightness keys no longer work. F1 and F2 keys do nothing and they worked fine before the update.
    Anyone else experiencing this? If so know a way to fix it?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    I have been having the same issue and even with updates have continued to have the problem. I was able to find a chck box under the keyboard settings that I never noticed before. When checked it only allows you to use the function keys on the top of the keyboard when pressing the fn (function) key. Simply unchecking this (not sure how it got checked in the first place) solved the issue immediately.

  • Can you disable the screen shot feature?

    I need to be able to disable the screen shot feature.  Anyone know how to do this?

    I can't tell you how to use it, but I do know that the iPhone Conficuration Utility can be used for this purpose.

  • Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works

    Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works??? Is had worked with photoshop 9 pretty good? how can I enable this feature?
    thx. francisco

    I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to PSE13, but haven't found a solution yet.
    TomWoodbridge proposes a workaround, see Re: iTunes Photo Sync with PhotoShop Elements Fails after PSE Update
    Another permanent workaround (which doesn't require to copy the pse database every time you want to sync) is described here: Elements 13: Cannot synchronise photo albums in iTunes after upgrading from Elements 11
    Hope this helps.

  • PSE 6: Create features no longer work

    I am running PSE 6 vista and the create features no longer work. I wanted to create a photo book like I have many times before and now I get the windows message that the program must shut down. The funny thing is I choose to shut down and PSE stays open it just stops trying to create a photo book. I tried all of the create features and none of them work.
    I tried to uninstall and reinstall but had no luck.
    I have updated every adobe product I can think of and still no luck.

    I'm having the same issue.
    Have you tried Quicktime Player , not Quicktime 7? Also just try iTunes or even VLC.
    You can't save the looping unfortanately.
    You must enable it each time.
    I need to be able to save the looping.
    Weird that my laptop version of quicktime works fine with looping but not my mac pro.
    I wonder if there is some kind of plugin that is conflicting? I just noticed the problem when updating to Lion.
    My laptop is also running lion.
    I have disabled Perian plugin too.
    Any Suggestions welcome!

    I have been using an app cheat with friends with my iPad for a long time. One day it just stopped reading the screen shot.  I have tried deleting a few times and starting over. It works on my iPhone perfectly fine. Please help !!!!!!!  Thank you

    @Colin Robinson
    Thanks, I did it hundreds of time!!!
    Anyway here's what I did:
    I'd wrote an email to Apple America, even if I'd purchased the item in Europe and the US support usually should not be involved in any European case.
    They wrote me back that a European office will have call me in 48 hours.
    After a couple of days I've received a call and a new iPod is coming from US...
    Don't ask me if I can find any kind of logic behind it, but at least I can state that the US support has been decisive.
    Thanks to everybody.

  • Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

    Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
    Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
    This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
    Steps:
    1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
    2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
    3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
    4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
    5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
    6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
    Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
    thanks!

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

  • Screen shot short cut not working

    I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and have lost the screen shot keyboard shortcut (Command-Shift-4).   I use this quite a bit so this is a big inconvenience.   Note that the other screen capture shortcuts aren't working as well.   I have tried to delete my Finder prefrence file in the Library and re-start, but the problem persists.   Keyboard shortcuts are enabled in System Preferences, so what gives.   Anyone else seen this problem, any fixes?
    Thanks,

    The keyboard shortcuts for screen shots works fine with my 10.8.4 (build 12E55). You may need to install again using the Install OS X Mountain Lion.  Until you get it fixed try this as a workaround
