Shift Cmd 4 + Space not working (AGAIN)

Hi,
I used to be able to take a screenshot of the active window by pressing Shift Cmd 4 and then space and click, but I dont know why it's not running anymore.
Whenever I click Shift Cmd 4 and then space, the grey area covers the whole screen and when I click, it'll take screenshot of nothing. When I open the .PNG it'll be white-blank image.
I'm using Tiger and never modified setting preference on this, so I have no idea how it happened.
Can anyone here please help me to fix it?
Thanks
ps: this problem was ever solved here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=837637). However, it happens again now and the previous solution doesnt cut it anymore as the preference file (that I must delete) is no longer there.

Hi Agus
Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen
Use these shortcuts to take pictures of the screen in Mac OS X.
Action Shortcut
Take a picture of the whole screen
⌘-Shift-3
Take a picture of part of the screen
⌘-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
To cancel, press Escape.
Take a picture of a window, a menu, the menu bar, or the Dock.
Press ⌘-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click.
To drag to select the area instead, press the Space bar again. To cancel, press Escape.
Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab application (in the Utilities folder).
Some applications, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of the screen.
These instructions are in Finder > Help and enter "screenshot"

  • Dock dissapear, Exposse, Spaces not work

    Dock is dissapear, Exposse and Spaces not work, i had repaired permissions from disk utillity but all is de the same, restart and all is not working, command + tab either work, and if a try to minimizar a window nothings happend

    I am experiencing this same problem. I have been fine for a few weeks after my Leopard update, but then all of a sudden today I could not find my dock. I wasn't able to get it back at all, so I tried to shut down. It would not shut down so I had to do a hard shut down by holding in the power button. When it rebooted, the dock was still non-existent. I did some googling and learned it might be a corrupt preference. I then deleted the preferences, and immediately a dock (the original default installed) came up. It seemed ok for about 30 seconds, then it quit, and keeps flashing, reappearing, poking out. I deleted the preferences again, same result.
    I ran disk utility. It found some permissions problems and "repaired" them. Now the activity monitor shows that my dock is starting and quitting, as stated above, and I can't see it at all. It's gone.
    I am pretty upset about this, I rely on the dock heavily for my drag and drop applications in CS3.
    Any solutions to this yet?

  • How to delete video from iTunes library? del and shift+del are not working - no any reaction

    how to delete video from iTunes library? del and shift+del are not working - no any reaction.

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

  • [LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

    Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
    See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
    CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
    Any ideas?

  • On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly.

    On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly, but shift+letters works fine. I've tried changing the set keyboard language, as well as the character encoding, but nothing works. I don't have this problem in IE.

    Hello there.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, I'm not sure if this is the case, but there is a little know keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard language on Windows. And it's very annoying, since it's easily triggered. I don't know exactly which one it is, but I think it's CTRL+SHIFT, the ones on the right. I suggest you ask Microsoft for support on this one. Firefox doesn't control keyboard languages.

  • My shift-r, right shift-f, and right shift-v is not working.

    I've seen questions in the forum about shift-r not working, I've looked into my system preferences and it appears there are no short cuts associated with shift-r.  My right shift-f and right shift-v are not working either.  I'm using a new iMac (10.7.2) with the bluetooth keyboard that came with it.  If I use caps lock I can get capital R, F and V.  It's very strange.  I'm assuming it's a setting that's messed up versus a bum keyboard?  Thanks for any help you can give!

    Good deal, glad it's taken care of. I had a wireless keyboard on which the caps lock key stayed lit all the time, even though it did turn the lock on and off. And sometimes it wouldn't light at all. I took it (just the keyboard) to a local AASP and they checked it out and called to say my new keyboard was ready to be picked up.

  • Shift factor is not working with Depreciation Base method- 0004

    Hello,
    When I am changing shift factor and variable depreciation portion in asset master data. Its not calculating depreciation as per shift factor.
    What can be the reason behind it.
    Even I have already maintained config in depreciation key also for multiple shift.
    regards

    Hi,
    Shift factor works only with the variable portion of ordinary depreciation. The variable factor is defined as depreciation area level.
    "When you use depreciation with a multiple shift factor, the system
    multiplies the variable depreciation portion by the multiple shift factor"
    In depreciation area tab of asset master data double click on the depreciation area. You can check the variable portion can be see under "Additional Specifications" tab. If the value is 0 then the shift factor will not work.
    Regards,
    Ritesh

  • USB keyboard shift keys suddenly not working

    For some reason, when I woke up my MacBook Pro this morning, both shift keys on my aluminium USB keyboard were not working. I'm using the keyboard with a Magic Mouse and LED cinema display connected to my MacBook. When I hold either shift key in combination with any other key, either nothing is typed, or there will be random characters typed, occasionally.
    I ran AppleJack on auto to see if there were any problems. There were a few preferences it corrected, but nothing major was wrong. I connected the keyboard to a friend's MacBook Pro, and the shift keys did not work on his machine either. Caps Lock does work. I've tried canned air. I don't remember spilling anything on it.
    Any idea about what I can try to get it working, or is it broken? Thanks,
    -Jeff

    Try resetting the PRAM. Info here:

  • Why is my video cam NOT working again after it had been sent in to get fixed already

    Model Number: QE024UA
    Model Description: HP PAVILION DV6-6169US NOT
    Serial Number: 5CH1430SD9
    I had my computer sent to get the video cam working... they sent it back and it worked for about 2-3wks and is not working again also when I call someone elses computer I can hear and see them but they can no longer see or hear me. Cant see due to video not working again again on my part but they used to be able to at least hear me.. Now neither works. I have written plenty of messages to HP (at least 3 that I remember) but with no reply. Not a happy camper right now about this. When I bought this computer It had everything I thought I needed and more for my basic use. I chat on facebook Play their game and browse the web.. watch my netflix. I never really needed a video cam but now since family life has changed and I live so far away from them I specifically ordered this computer cuz of its high quality in video plus I liked the fact it played Blue-Ray. I used to have a Dell that lasted me a good 5yrs of usage. I have had this less than 3mnths and twice the cam has gone out on me.

    I'm avoiding buying anything else to use my iMac and had the same problem. I have PC headset with mic and headphones and also a Motorola bluetooth headset, neither worked how they should, no mic function:
    I can use the pc headphones that I already had (just didn't input the mic jack part), and the iMac built-in mic together as I chat.
    Just go to System Preferences and make the Sound settings for Output to built-in Headpones and Input to Internal Microphone -select "Use ambient noise reduction.
    Its a get-around, but it works.

    very likely it is a hardware issue, if after restore to factory setting does not solve.
    it could be caused by poor contact or the faulty click wheel of the iPod, just like mine

  • NFL Redzone = NOT WORKING AGAIN?

    Is NFL Redzone not working again this week?? Last week it took over 2 hours to finally work, and this week it looks like the same problem. I tried to activate it through my remote, but it comes up with an error messaging saying unable to process your request. And of course when I call, I'm hold for 10 mins like usual. HELP

    MiMeQu wrote:
    I wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue.  I have set up to get an on screen alert anytime certain teams enter the Redzone and are being shown on the Redzone channel.  I did this through the Redzone Widget.  However, I did not get any on screen alerts.  My understanding was that an onscreen alert would pop up to let you know that a team that you selected was being shown on the Redzone Channel so you could switch to that channel.  My understanding was also that the onscreen alert would occur no matter what channel you were currently watching.
    I just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue and whether my understanding of the on screen alerts is correct.  Do I need to do something else?  Does it not work on any channel you are on?
    Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.
    The widget must be active for you to receive alerts. Next week, while RedZone is broadcasting, make sure you launch the FiOS Football Widget and remain in the widget to receive alerts.
    While in the widget, press the FiOS TV button (LIVE TV on some remotes) to toggle between full-screen and widget modes, and switch to your game by inputting the channel number for your game. While in widget mode, or while an alert is on screen, pressing C will take you to the NFL RedZone channel, however to get back to your game, you must input the appropriate channel number (the LAST button will not work--Verizon PLZFIX!!!)
    You will not be able to use the Guide, Menu or Info screens without exiting the widget. If you exit the widget (either by pressing Exit or by attempting to access the Guide, Info or Menu screens) you will no longer receive alerts,

    Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

    Yes hello,
    My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
    i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
    i hope to find the fix some how.
    I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
    is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
    Thankyou
