About This Mac Quicktips

Let’s say you want to take a screenshot of the latest app you are running on your iPhone or iPad (maybe to show off a high score in Carcassonne - great game btw!) to send to a friend or upload to your blog. Here’s how:

1. Press the ‘Home’ button and at the same time press the ‘On/Off’ button. No need to hold them down for very long (1 second is enough).
2. The screen should flash white briefly.
3. Now startup the Photos app
4. Inside the ‘Saved Photos’ album you should see your screenshot waiting for you.

Now you can email it to yourself or the next time you sync with iTunes it will pull the screenshot into iPhoto (or whatever photo application you are using on your Mac).
