Screenshots

Despite the advice received I cant insert any screenshot to mi iBook through iTunes producer, all the time I get an error message "the picture doesnt match the requierements". The last one I try to put a picture sized 1024 X 720 and also 800 X600 but the same. I would like to know whats the point here. There is any other advice?
Thanks

Hi Josecup
Had the same problem - try this: I'm assuming you are getting your screen shot from a page in iBook authors. From the view menu in the tool bar select "actual size". Now get your screen shot using shift-command-4 keys. As you pull the cross hairs across the page you will see the dimension of the 'picture' you are taking - when you get to 1024x740 take the shot. It worked for me. Be sure to be in PNG or JPEG of course.
Hope this helps

its not that i dont know how to take a screenshot its that whenever i try to it doesnt work at all. I have took lots of screenshots on this macbook before and didnt have a problem but now i cant take any at all. Please help me

The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:

If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.

Screenshot filename in Lion

Hi,
Anyone knows a way to rename the filename of screenshots in Lion?
I'm talking about the part that comes after the prefix, that can be changed via;
defaults write com.apple.screencapture name NEWPREFIX
In Snow Leopard, this was achieved by chaning a line in the following file;
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
This is no longer possible, as the value isn't present in this file anymore. The .strings-file have also been changed from a plain text file, to a binary plist file since Snow Leopard.
The reason I want to change this, is to avoid spaces in the file name. I know that some of you use scripts that goes through the screenshot-folder to rename, but was hoping to avoid this.
Anyone knows of a way to change this in Lion?

Hi,
I did following steps to change default screenshoot filename
$ sudo su
# cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/Resources/English.lpro j
# plutil -convert xml1 ScreenCapture.strings
# vi ScreenCapture.strings
change
<key>%@ %@ at %@</key>
<string>%@ %@ at %@</string>
to
<key>%@ %@ at %@</key>
<string>Pictures</string>
# plutil -convert binary1 ScreenCapture.strings
# killall SystemUIServer
You can replace "Pictures" to whatever you like.

Unable to capture screenshot of Agentry Client v 7.0.1.207

Once you have logged a user in the Agentry Client application, it is no more possible to capture screenshots of the Agentry client application.
I got an error "Unable to capture screenshot. USB storage may be in use"
However you can take screenshots of other application (Gmail for example) or you can take screenshot of the Agentry client logging page.
This is occurring with Agentry client v 7.0.1.207. It was working before with v6.0.14
Is there a possibility to remove this security feature?
regards.

With the Encrypted DB checked, it is not possible to take screenshots. There is an option in the newest versions of Agentry 6.0 (would need to wait until it is rolled up to SMP) that next to the Encrypted DB option, you can check an option to enable screen share again. I know this was put into around 6.0.42 or 6.0.44. Don't know if or when it will get to SMP.

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

Saving screenshots to a different location?

Somewhere, there is a preference to set the default location to save screenshots... I can't find it now! I have one of my machines set to save screenshots to a folder on my desktop, so I know this is possible. But I can't seem to find that preference on a second machine. I thought it was a preference setting in Cocktail, but it isn't there.
Can anyone tell me where to set the default location for saving screenshots? I need to set it to a folder instead of Mac OS's default of the Desktop.
Thanks!

I would love to know how to set a different location. How do you do this in Leopard and Snow Leopard?

Camera works fine; won't take screenshots or save emailed photos to Camera Roll

I can't make my iPhone 5c (IOS 7) save emailed photos or take screenshots. When I take a screenshot, the screen blinks like it's supposed to, but nothing shows up in my camera roll. Same with saving emailed pictures. Tried restarting and resetting; didn't find a relevant post on the forum. Could someone help?

I did exactly as you suggested and the phone froze up and acted really funky. So I did a normal power cycle after your maneuver and viola! The camera snapped away click - click - click!!!! Thank you for the help -- as an embedded hardware engineer I wonder what has gone awry with the software.
As I like to say (usually surrounding some goofiness with Windows) "somewhere there is a software engineer responsible for my misery."
Thanks again.

Can't take screenshot on iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3 - tried everything already

Help! My screenshot function is not working too. I have a iPhone 5, oh an iOS 8.1.3 software. I've done everything in previous threads with similar issues. I've pressed it correct and even tried hard reboot by pressing both home and power buttons. I've turned on the accessibility to take a screenshot using the function and that doesn't take screenshots too (so my buttons are working fine). I've also deleted all new apps that I installed after this issue happened.
What happens: when I press home and power button, NOTHING happens. There is no flash sound or quick flash of the screen that shows the screen was taken.
Appreciate any help and suggestions!

Bowtie....
I see that your question has languished for a couple of hours in a relatively low traffic forum - Using ASC - I have asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it may get a more rapid response.
best luck

Screenshot copyright question?

I have no idea what forum I'd ask this question, so if my question can't be answered here, please advise where to post.
I'd like to put a screenshot of a Numbers spreadsheet on my website to demo something, but I don't know if there are any copyright issues. I've searched, but can't find any Apple page that deals with it. I found one for Excel on the Microsoft website with instructions, but nothing from Apple.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated,
Doug

I am getting a "invalid screenshot" when trying to upload the screen shot to a Words With Friends cheat app. It just started doing this!

What am I doing wrong?

That was no help! When playing with two grown daughters with high IQs,
I need all the help I can get!

My colors are not displaying correctly. I have already asked the question but here is the screenshot also.

There is no apparent way to upload the screenshot so I did not. Not a very intuitive site.

Continue in your old thread and attach the image there.

· DO NOT post full resolution screenshots! You can use the "mogrify" command (pacman -S imagemagick) to make a thumbnail of your screenshot:
$ cp screenie.png thumb-screenie.png
$ mogrify -resize 20% thumb-screenie.png
Twenty percent of the original size is great for 1024x768 screenies. You can then upload these images to your server and use the following code to show them on the forum:
[url=http://my.site.com/screenie.png][img]http://my.site.com/thumb-screenie.png[/img][/url]
This displays the thumbnail as a link to the screenie like this:
· Several websites also offer free image hosting, of these ImageShack is very popular and does a neat auto thumbnail:
Use the "Thumbnail for forums" link code that is supplied by ImageShack to post your thumbnail link.
· Once the new month begins please do not post new screenies in the old threads.
· If the screenshot has questionable material that might not be safe to view while at work or in a school setting, please post only a link and not a thumbnail, along with a mention of "Not Safe for Work". Posts that do not adhere to this are subject to deletion without notice at any time.

How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari. I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images. Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future. Jumpscare.
aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time. This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

How can I capture and take screenshots of all the browser tabs and not only windows ?

This class identifies all minimized windows and take a snapshot (screenshot) of them. I want to take screenshots also of all the broswer for example chrome tabs windows that are open but not in the front. Same idea that it get now the minimized windows but
to get the screenshots of the broswer opened tabs ! What should I change in the WindowSnap class? Since both classes are a bit long I added them to pastebin.com
What i'm doing now is to get all the minimized windows i mean all the the windows in the back if it's chrome browser windows or open tabs if it's program games other windows. This is what i'm doing in form1 constructor:
this.listBoxSnap.Items.AddRange(WindowSnap.GetAllWindows(true, true).ToArray());
int numitems = this.listBoxSnap.Items.Count;
for (int i = listBoxSnap.Items.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
string tt = listBoxSnap.Items[i].ToString();
if (tt.Contains(" ,"))
listBoxSnap.Items.RemoveAt(i);
listBoxSnap is just a regular listBox1 in my form1 designer.
And this is the WindowSnap class code, it's a bit long code but it's all connected:
I'm not sure what to show here from this class what is the most important part so i added all the class code to a link to pastebin.com:
WindowSnap.cs
What i'm calling/using in form1 constructor from this WindowSnap.cs class is the GetAllWaindows method:
public static WindowSnapCollection GetAllWindows(bool minimized, bool specialCapturring)
windowSnaps = new WindowSnapCollection();
countMinimizedWindows = minimized;//set minimized flag capture
useSpecialCapturing = specialCapturring;//set specialcapturing flag
EnumWindowsCallbackHandler callback = new EnumWindowsCallbackHandler(EnumWindowsCallback);
EnumWindows(callback, IntPtr.Zero);
return new WindowSnapCollection(windowSnaps.ToArray(), true);
EnumWindowsCallBackHandler is:
private delegate bool EnumWindowsCallbackHandler(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lParam);
EnumWindows is:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
private static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumWindowsCallbackHandler lpEnumFunc, IntPtr lParam);
Then i have the class called WindowSnapCollection:
WindowSnapCollection.cs
The problem is in form1 constructor i'm getting only 23-24 windows in the listBox1. When i'm doing this two lines:
this.listBoxSnap.Items.AddRange(WindowSnap.GetAllWindows(true, true).ToArray());
int numitems = this.listBoxSnap.Items.Count;
I see in numitems about 30 windows and after filtering i'm getting 20 windows and i checked that's the correct number of opened minmizied windows i have in this example 20.
Now what i want to do is somehow to get with all this windows in the listBox also all the opened tabs in chrome.
For exmaple i have only 4 opened chrome windows. But in one of the chrome windows i have almost 40 tabs opened !
I want somehow to add to the listBox all this opened tabs also as captured screenshots like i'm doing now with the windows.
This is a screenshot of my program showing what i'm doing and what i get:
So now i have 19 windows captured in the next refresh it will show 20.
My question is if there is any way to capture also all the chrome opened tabs in all the windows if any opened tabs are opened at all ? Now i'm getting only the chrome opened windows captured screenshot. But i want to get also the chrome tabs captured screenshots.

Hi Chocolade1972,
Since this forum is discussing about Windows Forms general like winform controls, and your issue is related with Windows Desktop SDK, I will move this thread to the more related forum.
Thanks for your understanding.
