iClarified - How to Take iPhone Screenshots

[slevytam]

Taking pictures of my iPhone screen just wasn't looking good so I started using Erica's screenshot utility. It produces great looking screenshots.

I wrote a quick tutorial on how to do this yourself. I figured that not many people are going to be familiar with making files executable etc. so it might be useful to someone.

there's an even easier method and the screenshot automatically shows up on your desktop. install filecatcher on your Mac and autosnap on your iPhone, also from Erica. go to the screen you'd like a screenshot of, run filecatcher and log in with terminal to your iPhone and run "autosnap" and voila, the screenshot is now on your desktop.

or install dock or screenshot that are both available on installer...these are easiest ways to take a screen shot

autosnap seems really interesting... thanks for sharing, ill have to have a go at that!

OP- why would you want to make this more difficult than it is?

Were you simply unaware of the 3-4 programs that have been available on installer for quite some time?

Correct me if I am wrong but i didnt think that dock or screenshot(from installer app) lets you take screenshots while you are touching the iphone.

For example if you wanted to take a screenshot of a Settings category highlighted in blue you could touch the iphone highlighting the category then run screenshot from the ssh command line while still holding your finger down.

This is useful for creating tutorials on how to use different apps etc etc.

the autosnap method automatically recovers the image from the iPhone onto your desktop. what screenshot program for the iPhone automatically places the image onto your desktop? as far as i know, you still have to ssh into the iPhone and download manually the photos from the iPhone file directory.

yes but you still have to ssh into your iPhone and dig the photo out manually. with this, once the screenshot is taken, it pops up on your desktop.

Sorry, I didn't catch that the point was to make getting the file to your desktop easier.

I could never get screen shot to work for me. I created a dir called snaps and changed it on the screenshot and it never sends the snaps to it.

um no, connect to your phone, recognizes as a camera, download the photo like any other photo you have taken with your phone...like c'mon man!
