Taking screenshot of the main screen only

Hello, how to take screenshots of only the main window? When I press sit-cmd-3, two files will be saved on my desktop, one is the main screen, and the other is the desktop screen(without application windows within). Everytime I need to delete the desktop screen file. Can I just take the screenshot of the main window?

Well,
Command + SHift + 3 will take a screenshot of the entire screen as currently showing
Command + Shift + 4: your pointer will change - drag it across the area you wish to copy and it will take a screenshot of that area only.
Try these as I have no idea why you'd get two files.

I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country. Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are.
Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet?

Any suggestion?

Suggest that you get your handset serviced by an expert this will solve your problem..

NO DATE ON MAIN SCREEN--ONLY THE WORD "MADONA"

Hello everyone--- I have a new problem today with my original iPhone running 2.0.1.
On the main screen underneath the time, used to be the day and date. Now, for some reason, only the word "Madona" appears. By the way, it is spelled just like that M-a-d-o-n-a. I checked the Date and Time settings and they are set correctly. I don't even think there is a way that I know of that you can insert your own "message' or "tag line" underneath the time. So can anyone please give me their opinion on what is causing this and what a fix would be?
THANKS EVERYONE!

As mentioned, it could be the song playing (or a song that was playing previously...the iPhone sometimes gets wonky about showing a title even when no song is playing). If that were the case, it would be the song title, not the artist, so not having any songs by the artist "Madona" does not close the case. A quick check of the iTunes store shows 4 songs by various artists with the exact title "Madona"... Search your iTunes library. I'll bet you find a song called "Madona".

Using Cap6, need to create menu screen that allows user to click a button, branch to other screens, and return to main menu. When returning to the main screen the button that was clicked will be grayed out or inactive. How do I do this? I created image

I am trying to emulate a piece of equipment. I need the user to be able to click on specific buttons that will take the user to another screen(s). After viewing those screens the user will be directed back to the main screen where the user would know which buttons had been pressed and which still needed to be pressed. I create image buttons with the 3 states - that worked except when the user returns the slide is reset and so the user does not see the 3rd state of the button. How can I get that 3rd state to stay after user returns to the main screen?

Hi Elizabeth,
Since I just did this morning what you are currently attempting to do, I thought I'd share my method. I must provide a disclaimer and tell you that I am not an expert in Captivate advanced actions--like you, I am still figuring them out. However, I am happy to share here anything I have learned thus far.
First, here is what my initial slide looks like (see interaction slide below). I created all of the icons (including the 'grayed out' icon on the second screenshot) in a few minutes using Adobe Illustrator. The icons have been imported as custom multi-state buttons so that I could have the desired effect when the user hovers over the image--the yellow 'explore' flag appears only when the mouse is over the icon. When the learner click either image, they are sent to the corresponding slide. Once both slides are viewed, a 'continue' button will appear at the base of the screen (something I've not figured out--I sent an email to Lieve begging for some guidance).
The initial slide (interaction slide):
Second, here is a depiction of what happens when the learner returns to the interactive slide from the content slide (see image below): Once the learner visits the 'Battery Content' slide and then returns to the interaction slide, the images have changed. The multi-state button is hidden (through the advanced action), the replacement image (the image with the completed banner over it) is shown, and a hidden click box to allow the user to return to the previously visited page (just in case they desire to do that) is "shown" to allow navigation since the button is no longer there (because it is magically hidden).
Content Slide 1:
Remember, there may be an easier way to do this in Captivate. I am using Cp6 for this module.
1. I created two user variables as follows
Name: v_batteryExplore
Value: 0
Name: v_fuelExplore
Value: 0
2. I created an advanced action for each as shown below (showing only one--duplicate the first and change the names to match the content):
Credit: I learned these steps from @Lilibiri and Dr. Pooja Jaisingh!
I have also noticed that it matters where the buttons are located on the timeline. It seems best to have buttons above all other content. Not sure why, but I have had images not appear when I have not done this.
And the last step you do not want to forget; you need to remember to tell Captivate to use the action.
As a final note, remember that the elements you do not want to appear on the initial screen must not be initially visible. Make sure to set them to invisible by removing the checkmark in the 'Visible in output' box located next to the button name. In my case, the image of the completed battery and the invisible button to allow a revisit of content was initially hidden. Here is a final screenshot of my timeline for this interaction. I hope this information helps you!

How do I limit what movies are displayed at the top on the main screen

Is there any way to limit what movies are displayed at the top on the main screen when menu Computers are selected?
Currently it shows ALL of the content in the Movies folder in iTunes, but I would like to not show my 1 million 5-second videoclips and only the "real" movies.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Bjoern Dirchsen

I think you are right. It's the latest videos added that are displayed first. Makes sense.
I'm using a PC so it's a bit hard to work with iPhoto . However, your comment did give me a hint to how to solve the problem.
I moved all my video-clips out of my Movies folder and into my Pictures folder.
Then I changed Photo Sharing in Itunes to include Videos
And voila! The main screen now shows only my "real" movies. Sorted by latest added - but I guess that's the best we can do.
Thanks for a super-fast answer.

The main screen of my macbook is black, but the secondary screen it's ok. how can I fix this problem?

My MacBook was working with 2 screens but, when the secondary screen was disconnected, the main screen put in black and I can't fix it

Take your Mac to an Apple store to be looked at and fixed. There is nothing you can do to fix it. It is a hardware problem. Either the screen has failed or the cable going from the logic board to the screen has failed. For both of those type failures only Apple, or a AARC, can fix it.

Apple TV3 Not Showing The Main Screen Icons except Computer

I tried to do everything that i've read in here..
I tried to unplug the power cable for 30 seconds and replug it, same problem occurs.
The Main Screen icons don't appear such as Youtube, Radio, the internet, etc..
I get the computer and settings icon only...(See picture)
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/186/18672415-1.jpg
The internet is working just fine.. The system is up to date,
I tried resetting, restarting the system.. nothing worked..
I bought 2 Apple TV 3's and they both have the same issue..
Also, when I bought it in the U.S, the sales person in NY-5th Avenue store showed me the languages available, and one of them was the Arabic language..
Now that I bought it, this language doesn't exist.. Is there a way to add more languages?
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

How to keep the dock always on the main screen?

Hi
I have a Wacom Cintiq as my secondary screen, positioned below the main monitor of MacBook Pro
The problem is, that with this positioning, the Dock always jumps to the bottom of the Cintiq screen. I don't want it that way - I need to use Cintiq only as my drawing space, and keep the dock at the main screen. How can I do that (without repositioning the screens in the prefs)?
Thanks

Maybe you should consider reinstalling it in order to make it work again!

How can I back into the main screen without using the activator bottom?

I assume you mean the HOME button. You cannot. The HOME button is the only way to exit an app.

Cannot click one time back to go back to the main screen

Hi all,

i put my codes here:
Form USER_COMMAND USING SY_UCOMM
TYPE SY-UCOMM P_SELFID

My iPad 1 is turning off an app and going back to the main screen at odd times. I've already updated it... to no avail. Do I need to reset it to factory defaults and reload everything?

It turns off many apps at random times.
Plus, it won't let me go to the next level of Plants and Zombies! I've played the same level about 15 times... it goes all the way through the level and then cuts out when it is giving me extra points for my lawn mowers. Then it goes to the main screen... then when I go back into the game... I'm at the beginning of the level all over again!
No fun!

I'm unsure what you mean but "factory reset" but 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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 and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Moving apps onto the main screens

I have too many apps to appear on the main screens and have now deleted some from the main screens. How do I move the apps onto the main screen? My iPhone is not Synced with iTunes for apps, so when I sync it, all apps are deleted. I can obviously access them through Spotlight but want to access them from the main screens.

I'm assuming you mean that you installed more apps than can fit on the 11 home screen pages, and the overflow apps are only findable with iPhone Search.
1. Delete some apps as you have done.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
My iPhone is not Synced with iTunes for apps, so when I sync it, all apps are deleted.
1. Be sure you've authorized your computer in iTunes to the iTunes store account you used to purchase apps.
2. After connecting your phone to iTunes, and before syncing (disable automatic syncing), right-click your device and select "Transfer Purchases."
3. You might want to do this before deleting apps from the phone so that you won't have to re-download them from the App Store.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.
