There is no print screen button on macs but when you learn how you will see it is useful.
Here are the three ways to do a print screen, or screen capture, in Mac OSX:
1. The simple “print screen button” capture:
- Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3 all at the same time
- You will find a capture of the screen on your desktop named ‘Picture _’
2. Capturing a selected portion of your screen:
- Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4 all at the same time
- You will see the cursor change to +
- Drag a box around the section you want to copy and release the mouse
- You will find a capture of the screen on your desktop again named ‘Picture _’
3 . Capturing from a selected application window:
- Press the Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4 all at the same time
- You will see the cursor change to +
- Press the spacebar
- The cursor will change to a camera. Simply click on the window you want to be captured.
- Again the capture of the screen will be on your desktop named ‘Picture _’
Hope this was helpful in explaining how to do a print screen on an Apple mac.
