Screen shot problem

I am running OS ver 10.5.8 on a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with 2 GB of memory. I have occasionally used the command to take a screen shot of a specific area (ShiftControl+Command4) to generate images of specific things on my computer.
I did that earlier today and the image was saved to my desktop. I have been trying to do the same thing now and after hitting those keys and dragging the mouse to the area of the screen I want to capture, I hear the sound of the shuttle clicking like the computer is making the screenshot, but no image file appears on my desk top. I search my computer, and there's no image file created today other than the one I did earlier. I have tried this several times, and also tried doing a full screenshot. Again, I hear the sound of the shutter like the computer is making the image, but no image is being generated and saved.
I restarted my computer, and still am having the issue.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. I don't know how many years I've been doing it properly. Why I suddenly tried to add control, I'm not sure.

  • 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.

  • Help! Screen Shot Problem

    My iMacG5 sometimes makes this loud "POP!" sound (instead of shutter sound)when taken screenshot by commandshift3. The computer itself shakes a little too when making that sound. Sound seems to be coming from inside iMac since the sound is muted.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

  • X11 for G5/PPC problems incl screen shots

    Hello:  Most x11 on Leopard questions have been archived, so you can't add to them.
    Please note I'm talking about x11 on G5 ppc hardware, so one is limited to OS10.5  and xquartz 2.6.1
    (I don't think snow leopard 10.6 runs on G5 ppc, and I don't think xquartz 2.6.2, the current, will run under 10.5.)
    There are problems on this x11/OS combo, running software on the remote linux machine and displaying locally on my mac running the xquartz.
    Gimp running on the remote linux machine can no longer do screen shots (File> Acquire>screen shot for just a single window) after the OS and xquartz upgrade from 10.4.  Gimp acquires only  the upper 20% of the screen or so, repeated in a mosaic.
    The error messages on the remote machine are lots of errors like this:
    X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) 4
      Major opcode:  54
      Minor opcode:  0
      Resource id:  0x1600bbe
    I have had sys admin look over the obvious stuff, the x connections all seem fine. 
    I have tried this connecting with both ssh -Y and ssh -X
    Any/All suggestions welcome, thank you.   
    -BTP
    PowerPC G5 / OS10.5.8
    Xquartz 2.61

    What happens when you run gimp on the G5 itself, rather than SSH-ing to another machine?
    Also, when you do security updates, they have a tendency to clobber some of the updated X11 files, so you might benefit from reinstalling.

  • Screen shot capture problems

    I have a Mac Pro, and when attempting to take a screen shot using "Shift-Command-4," the content that I want is only captured sporadically. I've manipulated the image size, etc., to see if this was the problem, but there does not seem to be a consistent basis for the problem. I've also searched my computer via Spotlight to see if the PNG file was being saved to a place other than my desktop, but it is not.
    Any suggestions?

    I have encountered the same issue. Lately when using the tried and true screen capture keystrokes (shift-command-3 or shift-command-4) I sometimes get an image file, and sometimes I don't. But I always get the camera click sound.
    When searching for the answer to this problem I'm directed to the Grab utility. This app may have some nice features, but it is not as convenient as the standby keystrokes and is a step backwards if this is going to be the norm.
    Anybody know why this happening?

  • The new zoom feature overlaps some of the headings. I have a screen shot of the problem but don't know how to send that to you.

    I have a screen shot of the problem, I can send it to you. The first thing I tried was a zoom on your header. It looks like some things in your header were anchored to the right while others anchored to the left. When the zoom occurred they met in the middle.

    Thanks, I know I'm not really a big brand (not even a brand at that) but I think you could always release as Firefox's first own brand mobile WITH the OS :)

  • 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.

  • "screen shot can't be saved" and other permissions issues

    After having my iMac at the Apple Store for four days solving a problem with "quit unexpectedly" issues with all Apple built-in Apps on OS X Yosemite, I got the machine back with those problems solved.  It involved re-installing OS X and restore files from backup.  I thought all was well; the Genius Bar dude showed me that it's fixed. He said it took so long because of bizarre permissions issues he'd never seen before.
    Now that I've lugged this 40lb machine back home (after verifying the fixes in the store) I now find that several (other) functions don't work.  When I try to do a screenshot, I get this message:"Your screen shot can't be saved.  You don't have permission to save this file in the location where screen shots are stored."  Message could have been more helpful; the "location" is the desktop.  Pretty descriptive, though.  Seems I can't save anything to the desktop.
    I tried creatng a folder on the desktop.  Got this message: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this".  Type password and new folder appears.  Drag the new folder to the trash, get same message..
    I tried copying a file from a network drive to the desktop. I get this dialog: "Modifying Desktop requires and administrator name and password.  I clicked "authenticate" and after a 3 minute delay (with "Preparing.." ) I get this dialog; "Finder wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this".  I type the password and the file appeared on the desktop.  Before the work at the Apple Store, this never happened.  BTW I have only one user account and it's marked "Allow user to administer this computer".  Thinking something might be goofy with the pw, I changed it (took 3 minutes to do, oddly) and rebooted. No joy. Same thing happens when I try to drag something from the desktop to the trash.  Long time "moving" message followed by having to provide and admin pw.
    I tried to save a Safari attachment to the Downloads folder and got this message: "Safari could not download the file xxxxx because there is not enough free disk space".  Since I have more than 600GB of available space, I think the message is wrong and that it's really a permission issue with the Downloads folder.
    Tried to reset the password again.  Click to unlock the Users & Groups panel, get "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences.  Type your password to allow this".
    All this tells me that somehow Yosemite is in "nag" mode (reminiscent of Windows Vista.
    Any ideas?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Cache Cleaner ruined my menu bar, no longer able to screen shot

    not sure if anyone is familiar with this application "Yosemite Cache Cleaner". i just started using it. tried out the light scan and auto restored my computer then messed my top menu bar... well its off screen i can not see the time or the wifi icon it almost looks like the other half of the menu bar is on another screen by HDMI but in this case its not. i have nothing connected to this computer but my midi controller and a pre amp (always) anyways . i have dropbox and g-drive installed i can see those but any notification that pops up i can only see half of it. so of course i contacted this company immediately. i get a response back they are asking me to "screen shot my problem" so i try to screen shot and nothing happens, my screen flashes once and then the more i tried, the more screen flashed with an error sound. can anyone please help me solve this problem?

    First, delete the fake "utility," which is a scam. Caches don't need to be "cleaned."
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My macbook pro screen shot isn't saving the picture on the desktop.

    Hi so today I wanted to save something I was looking up online by taking a screen shot. before I've taken screen shots using comman + shift + 3 or 4 and it would automatically save on my desktop but now it isn't doing that. but i still hear the shutter sound. i haven't changed any of the preferences or anything. how do i fix this? please help!

    In Mac Help, there is this notation regarding screen shots:
    Some applications, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of the screen.
    What other applications there may be, I don't know.  Maybe this applies to your lost screen shot?
    The last thing to try is PREVIEW>FILE>NEW FROM CLIPBOARD.
    This then exhausts my ammunition on this item.
    Your post of Dec 12, 2011 3:33 AM seems to raise a new problem;
    ALL my files are on this current account that doesn't take screen shots...and I don't know how to move everything from my documents, to my pictures in iPhoto and music in iTunes.
    I suggest you repost this with more details, thus increasing you audience.
    Ciao.

  • Not correctly printing cropped screen shots in Word documents

    I have a C4480 All-in-one that works fine except for one really annoying thing. I create documents using Microsoft Word that use PC screen shots inserted into the document. I paste the screen shot into the document then use the Word cropping tool to crop the view of the screen shot.
    Looking at the print preview of the document, everything looks great - but when I print it, the cropping of the screen shot has changed!
    Anyone have any ideas on what's happening?

    The distortion was slightly visible in the JPG images in the
    WYSIWYG but the SnagIt images looked fine. Both types were present
    in the Word doc prior to importing and have always printed out fine
    in Word. The images were not added after the import.
    I know the original screen capture is fine. When I captured
    the same screen in RoboScreenCapture, inserted it into my Word
    document before importing - it printed out without any distortion.
    SnagIt saves as a .png whereas the RH version saved it as a .gif. I
    did resolve the JPG issue by saving those as GIFs. That's why I
    thought maybe RH has a problem converting from one format to the
    other.
    Hope that helps you more!

  • I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am do

    I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • Use SkyDrive to upload collected files and post screen shot/picture. (Updated: 1/16/2012)

  • Help Please! Serious Issues with Placing Screen Shots.

    Hi,
    I'm a long time browser of these forums but this is my first post. I'm pulling my hair out. I've spent hours on this and have a looming deadline. I've a lot of experience in PS and AI but have only started using ID recently. I've searched the forums and web in general, I've found people with similar or the same problems (both on Mac and Windows) but can't find a solution anywhere. I really think there's got to be a simple solution but I can't figure it out.
    I'm using ID CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5
    I've created several mutilpage PDFs (not for print, for screen viewing) in ID using vector graphics from AI without any issue. However, this time I'm trying to create a multipage PDF that will be a tutorial for GarageBand that requires dozens of edited screen shots. When I place the cropped screen shots they come into ID really badly pixelated. I've tried bring them in as several different file types, PNG, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, but all with the same result. I've tried scaling them in different ways and exporting the PDF in different ways but the screen shots still look terrible.
    I have the document set up for digital publishing and it's A4 Landscape. I've changed the display performance to High Quality Display but this shouldn't really matter because the exported PDF still has horrible looking screen shots.
    Sadly...when I bring the same screen shots into Microsoft Word Mac they look absolutely perfect. I really, REALLY don't want to be forced to use Word to create a tutorial, or anything for that matter.
    Can anybody help? Please!
    Thanks in advance.

    It seems ludacris and defeats the purpose of the software for me since I hoped to use it mainly for tutorials containing screenshots.
    The user interface you are capturing is designed to the monitor pixel grid and captures degrade if you sample them up or down. You can see the resampling problem if you use OSX's zoom feature–zoom in and the interface get's larger but it also blurs.
    And extreme example would be a checkerboard drawn at 10 pixels per inch. Increasing the resolution to 300ppi doesn't add any information and degrades the checkerboard's appearance:
    When you place a screen capture in ID and scale it, there's no resampling—the capture is resized and the pixels are scaled larger or smaller. If you print the capture it will look fine because a hi-res printer can accurately draw the different scaled resolutions.
    When you export to PDF there's going to be a problem displaying the captures in Acrobat because there would only be one zoom level where the original interface pixels display unchanged. It's similar to Photoshop where the screen capture looks best at 100% where the image to monitor ratio is 1:1, but in Acrobat the 1:1 ratio might be any zoom percentage depending on how the capture was resized in ID.
