Quick Mac Help

[Mookow]

How do you do a screen capture on a Mac? Specifically, one running OS 10.2.8 I have to do this for work (documentation for users that want to install a Cisco wireless card on their MAcs), but I never use a Mac, neither does anyone else in the office, so I'm not getting much help here.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes, because "Print Screen" is SO Intuitive

does anyone want to stop arguing for a minute and tell me if the above works, and if so, if it is *apple button*+shift+3, or *apple button*+shift+4

I'd actually like to get a Mac to see what all the fuss is about, but they're so damned expensive. If someone did a port of OS X to the PC, I'd be all over it like white on rice. Sadly, that'll probably never happen.

I READ THE FIRST REPLY TO MY OWN THREAD. I just want to see if the keyboard shortcut works.

Jeez, chill out.

Why don't you try both and see? They both work, actually... but I'm not going to tell you the difference between the two.

Help is appreciated. Your help was appreciated. You later being a dick wasnt. I merely replied in kind.

I posted the question rather than try and see since the Mac is on a different floor than the PC that I am posting this from.

[shortalias]

it is Apple key, shift and 3

Well, in that case..

Jesus, the man posts a simple question with a simple answer, and people give him sh!t about it. I've seen a million MUCH more retarded questions asked on here that have gotten answers with a lot less assishness. Well done.

Apple Shift 3

or...
You can take a picture or "screen shot" of your entire
screen with Grab.

Grab captures the screen within a few seconds. A new
window appears with an image of your entire screen.

And overreacting solves this how?

Apple shift 3 in OSX will put a PDF file on your
desktop...it is a full screen capture.

The Grab utility is nice b/c you can choose specific
areas you want to capture.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Command + shift + 3 captures the screen.

Wrong forum.

AND IT WON'T CREATE A PDF.

Jesus this is unbelievable. You want help, and then you don't take it. You could have had an actual image file using Grab, rather than a PDF file within 10 seconds, yet you continue to reply about wanting a keyboard shortcut.
