Ever wondered how you take a screenshot on your iOS device? It’s actually a lot simpler than you may think, with no need for third-party software or unauthorized tweaks.

In fact, this is one of the simplest tips we have. But seeing as though yesterday’s simple tip went down so well, we thought another one wouldn’t hurt. Here’s how to take screenshots on an iOS device.

Taking screenshots is a system-wide feature that allows you to snap an image of whatever’s displayed on your device at any time — regardless of which app you’re running. In fact, the only time this doesn’t work is during the startup or shutdown procedures.

When you want to capture your image, simply push the sleep/wake button (on the top of your device) and the home button (below the display) simultaneously.

And it’s as simple as that. Your screenshot will now appear in your device’s Camera Roll within the Photos app.

At my work, sometime i need to take screenshot of my desktop to make reports. I was using grab (mac pre installed software). But here my main problem is i have to press lot’s of keys(mouse). After googeling i found that there is another solution:

Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard

In Leopard, the following keys can be held down while selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):
Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it when the mouse moves
Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region
Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor point
