Screenshot or screen capture on iPad

How can I take a screenshot on iPad without pressing 2 buttons? I'm physically disabled and basically use my iPad with 1 finger, and Apple has done a great job with AssistiveTouch but screenshots require pressing 2 physical buttons.

As far as I know the only way is via the two buttons - you could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update it'll be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Video screen capture on ipad

I may be trying to achieve Mac or PC status with an iPad, but I would like to capture my iPad screen as a video for tutorial purposes. I am used to Camtasia from TechSmith and would like to do the same with my iPad 2.
Any

yes, I've looked at most of those links and discussions. I was hoping for a simple app that would accomplish this. There are so many good "white board" image capture apps. Why not one for video capture like Camtasia?
But thanks for the suggestion.

Tap the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time to do a screen capture. The resultant picture will be saved to your camera roll.

How to disconnect screen capture on IPad ?

The request is just de title's question

You can't disable the screen capture. You just have to be more careful if you are holding down on the two buttons at the same time for whatever reason.

How can I create a PNG or JPG screen capture or screenshot of the entire length of a long email message?

Hi all,
I need to create screenshots of emails, but I need to image the entire length of those emails. Can I using Mail or any other email application? Here is what I have tried so far ...
I can only do a screen capture of the portion of the email that shows up on my 27" Mac. I can reduce the size of the emails somewhat, but usually not enough to capture their entire length.
I tried going through Gmail using Firefox + Awesome Screenshots plugin, but couldn't get Gmail to open entire page so as to capture it. Normally I view this Gmail account using Apple Mail.
"Printing" to a PDF is not an acceptable solution for my needs, because that changes the native formatting to fit the print / pdf format. I need to show the exact email layout as thought it were an actual email.
Any ideas? Thaks for your help.

Installed ScreenGrab add-on to Firefox and, sorry, it still only captures the window to the extent that it is open, and there is no way that I know to open an email window in Gmail so as to show the netire lengthof a long email message.
So, ScreenGrab helped me get more screen capture of an email, but still not yet the entire email. I used Save>Complete Page/Frame, but still no more than what is visible.
I'll keep looking. And thanks for your suggestion Sabatica.

Press Home and Power at the same time. You'll hear a shutter sound. It should now be on your camera roll.

Screen capture ability on iPad?

Hiya!
Not sure if anyone can answer this just yet, but does the iPad also do screen captures like the iPod touch and iPhone can? You know--hit the home button+sleep button?
Thanks

I noticed the screen capture in landscape mode going sideways into saved photos, also. I noticed this first after
typing up a recipe card in Pages that had an embedded picture. The good news is that it printed perfectly to 4 x 6 paper in my hp printer using same free hpprint app that is in my iPhone. The bad news is that once I synced and uploaded to iPhoto I had to duplicate the pic and rotate it counterclockwise. Then I could put it in a smart album, and sync to my iPad. But then iPhoto chops off the top and bottom when I print to 4 x 6 from iPhoto. Preview chops it also. So now, I use Pages to type card, screen capture so it prints perfectly to my hp, then have Pages do an email in PDF format. I go to iMac, open the mail and save to desktop, open PDF, use apple key shift and 4 key to screen capture with a wide margin and import to iPhoto and don't have to turn the photo.
I don't know what you are doing with your screen captures, but Photogene iPhone app will rotate pics. I think it was a free iPhone app and might work as is. Otherwise the fee based photogenic would probably rotate it also.

Capturing screen movements on IPad 2

I know this was asked hundreds of times and it seems I come up with the same solutions. HDMI out of IPad to a pc with a video card. That ain't gonna cut it for me. I have an Ipad 2 and a Mac Pro with Camtasia screen capture software. I also have a pc laptop with Camtasia on it as well. I would be happy with being able to mirror the IPad screen thru my Mac Pro or pc Laptop and record the captures from one of those. Any instructions on how to do this using one of the methods above?

A reboot won't do any good. You need to restore using recovery mode.

Screen Capture IOS settings for documentation

Hi There,
I need to have a possibility to capture IOS7 (IPAD.IPOD) screens to make documenation for our engineers how to configure a device for a specific customer.
Its possitble to make screenshots (home key and on/off key) but i want to capture a movie from the settings. Is this possible with a app?
Thanks for you response!

You can do stationary screenshots as you have noted. However there is no feature that allows the capture of screen movies.
You might be able to do this by using one of the standard cables used for plugging an iDevice into an external TV, but connecting it instead to a video recorder. But practically it would probably be simpler just to point a smartphone that does video recording at the screen of the iPad.

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?
Thank you very much,

How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

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

Changing file type format in Screen Capture (shift command 4)

You'd think this would be in a preference menu! But it's nowhere to be found in any apps preference or system preferences.... I've seen posts how to do it in Terminal... and people sell programs to do it.... but Tiger and Leopard have t built in.. sort of....
The default file format when using SCREEN CAPTURE (ShiftCommand4) was a .pdf ... but then it was changed to .png Some people can't read .png... so I wanted my captures to be in .jpg format.
You can change the file format type of your SCREEN CAPTURE to any of the following:
JPG, JPG-2000, TIFF, BMP, PDF, Photoshop, PICT, SGI, PBG, TGA
But first you have to have a file you want to change (say it is a png).
Open the file using Preview.
Once open, under File (in the menu bar) go down to SAVE AS.
There's you'll see FORMAT and a pull down menu. Choose which one you want...
Screen capture will now open your captured pictures in that format.
Crazy, huh?

The OP here was using a keyboard shortcut, not Grabber.
I did some further exploring. I just tried TinkerTool again, and again was able to change the file format of saved screencapture files to jpeg. TinkerTool modifies the com.apple.screencapture.plist file the same way that the Terminal command does.
This clearly works for command-shift-3 and command-shift-4, which save the screencapture image as a file. However, on looking more closely at the O.P.s initial post in this thread, he/she actually said
I use keyboard shortcut control/command/shift/4
When you include the control key in the command, the screencapture image gets saved to the clipboard instead of to a file, and you wouldn't normally be aware of its format until you pasted the clipboard contents somewhere else. I don't know where the OP was pasting it, but as was noted in the thread cited above by Baltwo, pasting a sceencapture image from the clipboard into a mail.app message results in a .tiff file being pasted. I also find this to be true in my system - perhaps this is what the OP was doing all along.
However this is an issue caused by the receiving app, not by the screencapture function. It's possible to look directly at the contents of the clipboard via:
Finder>Edit Menu>Show Clipboard
With my screenshot format set to jpeg by TinkerTool, I used control-command-shift-4 to save a screenshot to the clipboard. Looking directly at the clipboard in Finder as above, the clipboard image was a jpeg. When I then pasted the clipboard contents into a mail message and used Mail>File Menu>QuickLook Attachments, the pasted graphic in the mail message was a .tiff.
