Screen shot mystery

I had a little glitch with my 1st Gen iPhone, telephone numbers disappearing from contacts, but fixed it by turning off contacts and then turning them on again. But.....here is the mystery. After I did this, in my camera roll on the iPhone a new image appeared. It is a perfect screen shot of my Text Messages window, with a series of messages recently listed. How on earth did that happen? Can the iPhone take internal screen shots of its own windows?

Thanks guys. It was a facility I didn't know existed, to be honest. Yes, it's quite probable I unwittingly took a screen shot, as to try to solve the contacts problem first I powered off and rebooted and so I may well have hit the combination described without realising it. I know it's not strictly germane to this thread, but have either of you ever had the phenomenon of the phone ringing and when you try the 'slide to unlock' the screen goes black and the phone keeps ringing and you cannot access anything for a few minutes (usually losing the incoming call in the process)? It's happened to me about three or four times.

Mysterious Screen Shot appeared on my laptop- why - Hackers???

One morning had trouble turning on my computer. Had to hold down the start button for 10 seconds and then hold down again. When the computer came on - there was a “screen shot” that was taken at 5:29 am. It showed an open email and a document that I had been working on in the background. The mysterious thing is that “I” nor any one else did it.
Could someone be trying to get into my computer?

Just the tip of the iceberg. When you are gone...

I have Adobe X1 ver 11.0.7 installed on my iMac, when I download a .pdf and try to print it the printer preview is blank, only way is to take screen shots, is this me or an Adobe issue?

On my iMac OS-X 10.9.3 I am able to view a downloaded .pdf in my browser , if however I want to print out the .pdf via the File tab and Print in Safari, the message comes up that Adobe either does not support this format, or it s corrupted as an attachment to an email. I have tried saving it to my desktop by exporting it as a .pdf, or saving it to the desktop. In both cases when I try to open it, I get the same message.
Found that the only way I can save the data is to take a screen shot to my desktop and then I can print it out, but cripes what a pain!
Any suggestions would be welcome, is this me or an Adobe issue?

If you are printing to physical printer from Safari : Use Reader print button from Reader toolbar
If you want to save a PDF from Safari to your local : Use Reader Save button from the Reader toolbar.
PS: if you have PDF in read mode the hover the mouse at the bottom of the page and the floating Reader toolbar will appear.
Please let me know if this solves your issue.

How to take a screen shot automatically and from a remote location

Hi,
I have a Desktop, a Video Analyzer with Windows XP, and a Laptop, also running Windows XP. What I would like to do is take a screen shot from the Video Analyzer while running the LabVIEW VI from my laptop.
I have found this, which gives me insight into the complexity of a print screen call, but this is really only if LabVIEW were running on the system from which my screen shot is desired. For this post, that is not the case.
If you have a solution or even just a vague idea or comment, please do not hesitate to post. I appreciate any and all feedback on this topic.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your response. I would like to aviod using outside software in this. I'm sure that TightVNC is great, and it would probably work. I would, however, just like to do this using labview and labview only. Maybe it isn't possible but I really would like to do it entirely in labview. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them even if they, too, have outside software involved.
Thanks again Joseph

I use shift/applekey/4 (all at the same time) then I get a little indicator on the screen and can copy as much of the screen as I want. Somewhere I found where I could get it to go onto my screen as a jpeg--titled picture1-picture 2 or whatever.

I have screen shots of the messages and what happens when I try to play games on Facebook since I updated Firefox. Issues I didn't have before the update. Where do I send them? How do I correct this?

The screen shots include the web address for both shots. One is for script error messages that keep interrupting EVERY game. Then after I stop the scrip, Adobe Flash crashes, and I have no control. I have to use the Windows Task Manager to gain access to my home page to get out.
This didn't happen until I updated the Firefox this last time. I've tried everything and nothing works to get rid of the problem.
I've been to your questions, etc and nothing I've found helps.

How to delete photos from iPod after making screen shot?

Hello!
I just figured-out how to take screen shots with the ipod... And was playing with it for a while! heh heh
Now I have a bunch of screen shots saved to my ipod, is there a way to delete them with out connecting to iTunes?
Any tips are appreciated.

On a Mac, iPhoto launches automatically if there are Saved Photos. In Windows XP, there's a "new device" dialog where you can select the Scanner & Camera Wizard (no view files option in XP, unlike Vista), or you can go to My Computer and you'll see an Apple® iPod device (the only thing accessible will be the Saved Photos).
I think we've covered all the OSs now.
Hope this helps...

Please open this VI and screen shot for me.. thanks

Could any kind soul here, please open up this VI and post the screen-shot the block diagram here?
I need to look at the block diagram now but I do not have LV installed on my current computer.
It is a LV2010 vi.
Many thanks..

How can I get TV shows viewed through Hulu Plus on the Apple TV 3 to show as widescreen with black bands above and below the screen shot instead of chopping off the sides on my non-widescreen TV?

I just bought a new Apple TV 3 today so I can watch shows from Hulu Plus without having to physically plug in separate audio and video cables from my Macbook Air to the TV every time. I have a non-widescreen TV and when I normally watch Hulu Plus on the TV (though Safari on my plugged in Macbook Air as mentioned above), the entire wide screen shot is shown with black bands above and below the sceen shot since I am watching a widescreen program on a non-widescreen TV.
However, I noticed that when I watch the same show through Hulu Plus on my new Apple TV 3, the left and right edges of the shot are chopped off to make the program fill my non-widescreen TV. This bothers me because I would like to see the full shot and not just the chopped off middle portion. This is a real bummber because watching Hulu Plus without having to plug in my laptop is the only reason I bought the Apple TV. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks!
(FYI: I have the very first Macbook Air that is not capable of mirroring)

How are you actually connected to the TV? Does it have HDMI? Most non-widescreen TVs would not.
I would suspect a converter is either not outputting properly, your TV not interpreting the signal properly or you have some form of Zoom setting enabled on the TV.
How does your TV handle widescreen from say cable or terrestrial TV sources ?
Unfortunately AppleTV is not designed to be used with non-widescreen TVs so there's no setting on AppleTV to tweak.

Is there any way to send Apple Support a Screen Shot of the Error Message I receive using their phone with their own accessories ?

I have Verizon's iPhone 5 4G LTE 32GB Black. I purchased Apple's mini USB lighting charging adapter. Every mini USB charging accessory I own gives the error message. I want to send you a screen shot.

How do I take screen shots with the new update iOS 5 on my iPad and iPhone?

When I try to take screen shots on both my iPad and iPhone they both come up with the screen to shut down the devices. I've updated both with iOS 5. Any clues on how to take a screen shot with iOS 5?

As with the previous iOS versions.
Press and hold the Home button and use the on/off or sleep/wake button as a camera shutter button for the screen shot.
Or while pressing and holding the on/off or sleep/wake button before the slide to power of appears, use the Home button as a camera shutter button - this must be done before the slide to power off appears.

I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open. Similary, if I scan an image and sa

I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
Why?

Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.
