Here’s another reader requested tutorial – how to take screenshots using your iPhone or iPod Touch (with the 2.0 firmware, non-jailbroken) and how to access them.
- With the 2.0 firmware, Apple has actually made it quite easy to take screenshots with your iPhone or iPod Touch. Just hold down the bottom button, and click the top one. Note: be sure to see the tip in step #5
- You’ll see the screen “flash” quickly – that means it has taken the screenshot.
- Click the Photos icon on your iPhone or iPod Touch and your Photo Albums will be listed.
- Select the Saved Photos album. All of your iPhone/iPod Touch screenshots are stored here.
- TIP: as soon as you ‘hold down’ the bottom button, you’ll return to your springboard (the ‘home’ screen). If you want to take a screenshot of an open program (or anything other than the springboard) you have to click quickly. Try clicking both buttons at the same time. I’ve found that to be the easiest way to get screenshots without returning to the springboard – like the ones in my brief review of Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D.
Nice
How do I add the photo to my computer?
Wow.. just discovered your site. Can’t believe it’s that simple. I like it !
how to we transfer the pictures we take on the ipod to our computers?
bluetooth
how can you transfer pictures from an IPOD TOUCH to a MAC with bluetooth??? that makes absolutely no sense at all… and quite frankly my friend, you have issues you are obliged to attend to immediately if not sooner… so please, someone, anyone, answer my question with a significant and valid response.
Thank You
jon,
Andrew probably meant iPhone.

plug your ipod into your computer and iphotos should pop up saying it is ready to import photos and click import in the bottom right hand corner
Pour la réponse de Keddyfish Normalement , si tu branche ton Ipod sur ton ordi il va tout de suite les importer .
Merci du tuto .

One thing I don’t get, is why people read a English website and then post comments in their native language…. if you can read English, and you’re on a English website…. why not post your response in English? Then the creator of the page, and everyone viewing it, can see what you had to say. We’ll never know now what “ZOombiiee” or “Won Konw” said, or, at least, I wont.

Actually, the translation plugin I’m using (see top of the sidebar, right above the “RSS” icon) auto-translates all the pages on this site into multiple languages, and then Google indexes them. So the person coming to this site, probably came via a search in their own language, and the article they read was in their own language (or at least a machine translated version, which isn’t always perfect by any means). So they leave comments in their own language, assuming the blog is actually IN that language.
Hope this helps clear things up (and I do use babelfish to translate some of the comments and then use it to try and respond).

This is really cool–I just tried it with my iPod touch!

Merci, mais comment on fait pour désactiver le fait que l’iPod prend des captures d’écran? Je n’y arrive pas.
Dude
I love you
This is amazing

Hi, I am actually on my itouch but it is the newest version. I was wondering if there is a different way beacuse it doesn’t work on this iPod. Thanks.
Gracias por la información. Bastante útil.

Instead of trying to hit both buttons at the same time just hold the home button down while you click the sleep/wake button. It will take the screen shot and once you let go of the buttons you aren’t taken back to the main screen which you are trying to avoid.
Fail.. Le vendeur à dit à mon père que ça pouvait prendre des photos.. C’est juste des stupides captures d’écran, PATHÉTIQUE!
Thank you heaps!!!!! its so simple…yet i would have never thought of it!!
wow. thanks!
como borro las capturas de pantalla que hice??
thanks dude super helpful.
Hi- just recently my iPod touch 2 generation just stopped letting me take pics… Why? I still have memory, any help? I have a couple things I want to take screenshots of, but.. Idk how it fix it! Btw I’ve had my iPod since February last year.
Ps along with eveyone writing in their native language on an english website… Well, what I never got was a spanish and English glossary in the back of textbooks- the whole book is in English, yet this one little section of VOCaB, is in spansish? WTH.
