Yosemite screen captures have no thumbnail

Since upgrading from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (10.10.2), screen captures land on the desktop without an individual thumbnail image. I now have 75 .pngs on my desktop with a generic thumbnail. Ditto jpgs. Same in Finder.
Is there some setting that has to be changed to overcome this? I can't see anything in Prefs...

Thanks Patrick, helpful answer because I learned something, but alas it was already checked. Have unchecked and re-checked, but it hasn't fixed the problem!

Screen Capture not working after upgrade to Yosemite

I have Yosemite OS X 10.10.1 and since my upgrade from Mavericks I have not been able to perform any sort of screen capture. I have tried Command+Shift+4 and Command+Shift+3 and neither of those work. There is no camera shutter noise made and no files saved to desktop or elsewhere when I try these commands. I could use the commands just fine on Mavericks to capture the screen. Anyone have any help on this?

Do you have Dropbox installed? If so, go to the menu bar, select it, hit the gear at the bottom right, and then Preferences/Import/Screenshots - make sure the box isn't checked.
You can also make sure they are set to go to your Desktop.

Is screen capture in Yosemite the same as in previous versions of 10.x?

Not really a problem, just a question. I can only find screen capture instructions for Mountain Lion, on Apple support.
I have MacBook Pro 8.1, with the latest version of Yosemite (10.10).
Thank you
Anne

Yes, they have not changed.

How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

Hello,
I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class. I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me. How do I do this? I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Here is an image of the issue

I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg? I have an iPhone 5.

How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg?
I have an iPhone 5 (but I'm sure users with other models would like to do this as well).
My online searches have not found an answer -- I did find a discussion thread that was essentially, "Why would you want to do that?" Those posts are not welcome! Not looking for a work-around, an intermediate step, or the need to change the file format on a computer, etc. Just want to hit the two buttons and have the resulting capture be a JPEG file.
Not interested in jailbreaking or using apps that require jailbreak -- Want to do this with a new phone.
Thank you in advance for any help!!

How can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

how can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

Hi,
Thanks for the response but I know how to do a screen capture but wanted to be able to capture myself interacting with the ipad ansd turn into a movie i.e. showing all the movement / animation etc as I interact.
I have now figured out a good solution. Using AirServer you can wirelessly connect you ipad to your mac/pc then using a video capture solution like Snapz Pro you can capture what you are doing to create the video.

Yosemite mail screen capture issue

In new Mail if you try to insert a screen capture, using a right mouse click and selecting something on the screen, the selection is captured and inserted in the new mail as an image, but once you send the email the image disappear and the receiver does not receive any image...
thanks

Go to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and make sure you have the correct key sequence for what you want.
Also go to Help and do a search on "Screen Shot" and see what you can find as far as information.

I can insert images in gmail. However, I cannot insert a screen capture on one computer when I can on another. So I think its the way I have Firefox setup...but I don't know how to change it.

In gmail I enabled insert images. I can now copy/paste an image....but not a screen capture. I'm using the same process to capture the screen shot and paste as I do in Word. It works on one computer...but not another.

Move the cursor to the very top of the screen, maybe push up a bit. The main menubar should then appear. All the way to the right should be a bright blue icon - click it, and the Safari window should revert to 'normal' size.
Pressing Command-Control-F should accomplish the same thing.
Once it is back to normal size, click and hold on the top portion of the Safari window and drag to left or right to place it where you want it to be. Once you leave it there, the next time you open Safari it should open its window in normal size at that place.
If you need to re-size the window a bit, you can click-and-hold on the bottom-right corner of the window and drag to resize it.

Screen Capture does not work

Just got a new iMac running yosemite. tried to make a screen capture using command shift 3 (and 4). Up jumps an alert box that says Your screen shot can't be saved. You don't have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored."
Where are they stored and how do I change the permissions and to what?
Thanks
Ric

Ric,
Screenshots taking by using ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 3 ) or ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 ) are by default saved to the Desktop for your user. I'm not sure why you wouldn't have permission to save there. Either ( Right-Click ) or ( Control ) ( Click ) your desktop and select get info. At the bottom of that window you'll see a "Sharing & Permissions:" Section. Make sure your users name has "Read & Write" selected in the Privilege column. If you need to change it you can do so by clicking on the lock in the bottom right corner of the Get Info Window and authenticating as an administrator. Then change the Privilege column for your users name to "Read & Write".
Also while there make sure that in the Get Info Window the "Locked" option up in the General Section is unchecked.
Below is a screenshot of the Get Info Window. I've highlighted and pointed to the items I'm talking about above.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Screen Capture

I want to catalog my video files.
I use a software which displays thumbnails of my R3D files and then use Command+Shift+4 and drag the curser around the frame.
The problem is, it creates a file name "Screen Shot + Date"
Since I have over 500 pages; screen grabs, it will be very time consuming to always look for the folder on desktop and rename it.
I think, the best way would be after capture to ask for the file name so I can name it accordingly with the correct Filenumber right away.
Or is there a software which could speed up my process?
In Win 7 the function is build in called "Snipping Tool" and it always saves it in a specified folder and I can choose to save it which ever name I want.
Any suggestion very welcome!
Thank you

One of these should do the trick:

Screen Capture with ActionScript

Dear all,
As most of previous posts, I've client application written by
flash which enable user to create some mind map. Certainly, a
screen snapshot of the mind map for a thumbnail to png or jpeg and
uploading to server are necessary features. My developing
environment is flash, FMS, Apache, PHP and MySQL.
After searching Google and this forum, I found three options
available with it's limitation:
1. Use third party fake web cam driver (monitor pretending
web cam) but which induce the cost of buying the driver. I just
wonder if flash 8 can include another class for monitor just like
the web cam.
2. With Flash 8, use BitmapData class and post the pixel
data. It's too horrible if you've a few hundred users.
3. Writing some plugin to do the screen capture and
communicate either with the client flash or directly to the PHP
server. In my project, I prefer the plugin (e.g. written by Java)
to communicate with flash. As the flash application now already use
XML to communicate with the PHP server, I would like to use XML to
communicate between Java and Flash. I haven't check details for the
Java documentation, I just assume it'll work.
May be the most practical way is to direct the user to print
screen and save the file as jpeg or png. However, we developer
should develop usability. Can anyone suggest some better way to do
it? Is there any class or tools exist in FMS can make the job
better done? I'm new to FMS.
Best regards,
Teres

Sounds like you might be running flash in your browser, which
have no
solution for, but if yoy are - or can run flash as an exe
then you can
make it with mProjector, which adds a captureScreen call into
Flash

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.

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?
