Screen shot stopped working

why has my ability to take screen shots disappeared? Shift-option-3 still makes the sound but there are no files made. I checked my keyboard preferences and they are all checked...help!

Did your Desktop become Locked?
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying a screen shot..
Try Applications>Utilities>Grab, does that work?

  • Help! My screen saver stopped working?

    2013 iMac
    3.1 GHz i7
    16 GB DDR3
    OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
    My screen saver stopped working about a month ago.  I tried resetting the PRAM and it worked for a few minutes, but then it stopped.  I tried using Hot Corners, but it starts and then turns off after a few minutes.  I am able to make it work if I turn Airport OFF and disconnect the computer from the internet.
    What are my recommended next steps to get the screen saver back to normal function?
    Thanks for any and all help.

  • Screen sharing stopped working after last update

    Hello all,
    I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
    I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
    Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks a lot,
    Luis

    Problem solved!
    After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
    System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
    Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
    Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!

  • Screen just stopped working

    Anybody have any experience with the screen just stops working? Literally one day was working and the next day not. It's a 2009 MacBook Pro, and I've done all the updates and taken really good care of it

    I just had this happen to me ... only the screen never came back until I did the reboot action recommended below. Got the home screen, but the slider wasn't active, then the phone went dark. I could still call it, receive calls to my bluetooth headset, etc. but the screen wouldn't come back at all until I rebooted.
    Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone, unfortunately.

  • TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

    The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen.  Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
    as to how to fix.  Thanks in advance

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • IChat screen sharing stopped working

    Me and my girlfriend have identical Macbook Pros, and we've been utilizing the screen share capability of iChat for about a month and a half now. Today her capability to screen share stopped working. Nothing has changed recently, we haven't changed any system settings (that we know of) my screen share is still an option, but her screen share is greyed out. Screen sharing enabled is checked on her video option so we really have no idea what else to do. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    She should do a Speed test
    http://www.speedtest.net/ (Use the Yellow Star in the main window)
    Are the reported speeds near what she pays for ?
    (they are typically shown at about 80% of what the ISP claim to supply)
    Try cutting the power to the computer, any router and modem then start them up Modem first, then router then Computer, allowing things to be come established at each device and see if things improve.
    If that does not work she should delete com.apple.ichat.plist and then restart iChat.

  • My Screen suddenly stopped working

    My screen suddenly stopped working but it still receives calls. It won't let me answer them nor reject them. My phone was working just fine 10 mins ago. It also won't turn off. Can anyone help me please.

    Have you tried a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so?

  • On Screen Keyboard Stopped Working in Alarm Mode [...

    I have had a Nokia E51 for about 4 years - I used it till it literally stopped working. That phone started out great, but gave me A LOT of trouble and I started to hate it around month 6.
    Fast forward a few years and I need to buy a new phone. I search around and find a phone that has OFFLINE GPS! Whoa! Also, great reviews! I am sold. Turns out it's another Nokia (C6-01).
    I have had this thing for about 2.5 months now and I am getting really really paranoid considering my history with Nokia phones. They have always surprised me in a very negative way after initially seducing me. I want to love Nokia, but the phone's always prevent me.
    Anyway, Last night I tried to set an alarm on my c6-01 and when I tried to alter the time by tapping the text field, THE ON SCREEN KEYBOARD DID NOT SHOW UP. f*ck.  Basically, according to my phone, I could only wake up at 11:15 AM - despite having work at 8:00 AM.
    I did do a recent software update a few weeks ago, but from what I remember, the keyboard worked after this update.
    Anyone have any ideas? I am pretty sure I am still under warranty and if that's the case, I am just going to return it to Amazon and never touch another nokia. 
    Thanks
    My phone Info:
    Model: C6-01
    Type: RM-601
    Release: Nokia Belle Refresh
    Software Version: 111.040.1511
    Software Version date: 2012-07-28

    @adrianhughes: Holy c.r.a.p Thanks man. That worked.
    I was starting to sweat. Phew. 
    I really hope this phone won't give me any issues because I am tired of getting a divorce in the middle of a really happy relationship filled with great sex nokia phones giving me trouble.

  • I have Iphone 4s that is on warranty but its screen has stopped working when i peek in with a external light it shows iphone disabled. and can not restore from i tunes as well. i am in pakistan and phone was bought from Canada. how can i get assistance?

    hello can apple help me out.i am from Pakistan, i received iphone 4s as a gift, it was purchased in canada last march 2012. unfortunately its screen stopped working and inside screen when i try to look with external light. there was message "iphone disabled for 60 minutes" i tried restore but could not it downloads update but does not do anything i am heck upset its really something means to me alot. I tried to find out warranty claiming process but here in pakistan it has not been officially launched. Why so ? in a country where 50% people are using iphone and apple is not there? i was really shoked. well i really need help.please guide me how can i get it replaced or anything that can be claimed in warranty.it is still on warranty. But i am in pakistan where i can not find any istore where they deal with warranty. Please guide me i have studied alot and have read stories about people having same experience and apple helped them alot. I am amazed that i been giving marketing presentations on a brand which is not in my country but heared much "good" about you. and was having great experience of your device. Please dont make it true what i have heared about you.
    Regards.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
    Regards.

  • Blue screen, Windows stopped working, BC code 50

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, on my vista laptop.
    I have had two blue screens in the past week, stating windows stopped working here are the details:

    Can you help me with where the source of the problem is?

  • If Your Screen Sharing Stops Working, Read This

    SCENARIO: I have a network of Macs. On my main machine (a Mac Pro), I have set up bookmarks in Safari that link to the Screen Sharing URLs for other Macs on my network (Mac minis, MacBook Air). For example:
    vnc://192.168.1.51
    vnc://192.168.1.52
    So I can kick off a Screen Sharing session with one of those Macs simply by clicking the appropriate bookmark in Safari.
    PROBLEM: Sometimes when I do this, one of two things happens... either the Screen Sharing program launches in the dock but the window for the other Mac does not appear at all, or the Screen Sharing program launches and a small black window (with nothing visible inside) appears. Killing and restarting Screen Sharing does not help, and restarting the remote Mac does not help.
    SOLUTION: One way to solve this problem is to restart the Mac where you are attempting to use Screen Sharing. But this is overkill; it works because it incorporates the second, easier solution to the problem:
    1. Launch the Activity Monitor program.
    2. In the Process Name list, look for "NetAuthAgent". It may show as "Not Responding".
    3. Select NetAuthAgent, and then click Quit Process (the red stop sign button at the top of the Activity Monitor window). Then, click Force Quit.
    Your Screen Sharing should now work.
    It appears that as part of connecting to the remote Mac, your Mac must authenticate itself... and NetAuthAgent is part of this process. If this program freezes, hangs, or locks for any reason, the authentication will not work, and you cannot use Screen Sharing. Killing NetAuthAgent is harmless, as far as I can tell, and it will automatically relaunch the next time it is needed.
    For anyone else having problems with Screen Sharing not working correctly, I hope this information helps.

    having related problem with NetAuthAgent
    "loginwindow" process in activity monitor is Not Responding constantly (through warm and cold reboots)
    this causes a number of problems, slow network performance, hangs, no ability to restart/shutdown
    killing "NetAuthAgent" is the only way to make "loginwindow" process responsive again
    and restores lost functionalities
    having this problem across three networked machines (macpro, macbook pro, mac mini) all running 10.5.2
    have reapplied the 10.5.2 combo upgrade but no fix. only witnessed this problem since 10.5.2

  • Screen Shots not working correctly

    When I click Shift + CMD + 4 and then Space, you can take screenshots of a window rather then the whole screen
    The problem is that the screen shots are cut off when the window is taking up the whole screen
    A picture of what I mean: http://grab.by/4Lq5
    You can see that the right side is chopped off! Why? How can I fix this?

    hmm, that's odd - if you do it manually selecting the whole screen, does that work?
    I imagine that this terminal command will give the same undesirable result - but since it bypasses just a little of the GUI.... you might try it.
