Screen Grab On An Apple

You can take a screen grab of whatever's on your Apple computer.


When you work with applications, files and folders on your Apple computer, also known as a "Mac," you'll sometimes want to keep track of how everything is arranged. You can do this y taking a picture of your screen. For example, you could have a text document open on one side of the screen. Next to it, you could have an open folder containing all the documents you are writing that week. At the bottom of the screen is an open email message with instructions from someone about what to write in the text document. You can easily take a picture of your screen.
