Unable to take a screenshot

I'm taking a screenshot, and it refuses to work.

[If I use the command] + [Shift] + 3 for a full screen grab, or command] + [Shift] + 4 to select a part, nor work.

All I get is the "thump" sound warning me of an invalid command / typo.

Open the keyboard system preferences, shortcuts, category of screenshots and make sure that the options are selected, and shortcuts are defined as expected.

    I can confirm that the key combination is turn down the Volume + power using the buttons on the side of the slate 21.  You must make sure that you press exactly at the same time and hold them for about a second, as described by others in this thread.

    Kind regards

  • whenever I have reset iPhone5 it takes a screenshot

    Whenever I have reset my iPhone5 it takes a screenshot just before he died. Is there a way to solve this problem - or just to turn it off? I never needed to take a screenshot in the past five years. I have also all the sounds off and yet she makes a camera shutter noise, so I think it's a bug, rather than a new feature 'picturesque' of iOS10

    Are you sure that you reset the device in the right direction?

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  • How to take a screenshot using Windows 7 screen

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Edition. I want to take a screenshot of the homepage of MSN in 31ish Firefox and Internet Explore 11ish to show the difference that I see. MSN.com Firefox display is so bad on my PC that I had to go home pages at http://www.twcc.com/ . I prefer to use MSN.com as I always until they came out with their "New and improved" MSN.com.

    So, if someone can tell me how to take a screenshot using Firefox 31ish MSN.com Web page, I would appreciate the help. Then I'll go to forums on how to do the same thing with the Internet Explorer browser. Then, I'll post the two shots in the Mozilla's Support forums to see if I can find how do Firefox works better for me. Thank you.

    The current versions of Firefox have a built-in feature to take a screenshot as the one of the commands on the toolbar Developer (SHIFT + F2; Firefox 3-bar menu button > developer or tools > Web Developer).

    You can use it if you need only a screenshot sometimes because you must use a command line and can't click a button or use the context menu.

    • A quick way to save a screenshot is to press the 's', and then press the tab key to accept the suggestion of AutoComplete screenshot.
    • You can press the F1 key for context-sensitive help with suggestions where you can select an entry with cursor key and press Tab to copy the entry in the command line
    • You can type a space and two hyphens (-) to see the list of command options and use the Tab key to copy the selected highlighted (for example, fullpage or Clipboard) in the command line entry.

    Note that some commands have their own options and you can type two hyphens at once to see additional options.

    • The default file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd to HH.MM.SS.png" in the download directory.

  • Y at - he shortcut keyboard to take a screenshot and at the same time put in the copy/paste buffer

    My question: is it keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot and simultaneously place the content in the copy/paste buffer, rather than a file?

    If not, is there a shortcut miss me.

    My current approach is Cmd-Shift-3 or Cmd + Shift + 4, take the screenshot, open in preview, select all, copy, return to remove Word, paste, the screenshot file, then repeat. There must be a more efficient way to work.

    Thank you

  • When I'm exercising my watch takes random screenshots.

    When I'm exercising my watch takes random screenshots.  Of course, I'm flipping on a trampoline! Yet, no idea why? Or how to prevent? (I'm not acidentally by pressing the side button and the button)

    Hello

    Screenshots are taken when you hold down the side button on your Apple Watch and also press and immediately release the digital Crown. To prevent this from happening by chance (for example by the back of your hand by pressing the buttons when the bending at the level of the wrist), try either:

    • Wear your watch a little higher on your wrist.
    • Wear your watch band most closely during the year (trampoline can also exert sufficient force to move out of the usual position).
    • Wear your watch swivels 180 degrees, so that the digital Crown and side key are on the other side, where they may be less likely to be operated inadvertently.

  • I was wondering how to take a screenshot on Windows Server 2008

    I searched Microsoft Help and he has even searched online and don't increase no results... Any help?

    The simplest way to take a screenshot of the active windows is press ALT and print screen; If you want to capture the entire screen, press the print screen key only (on a laptop it may be necessary to hold the special key Fn too).

    This should work fine on almost every version of Windows.

    Good bye.
