Viewing Windows Screen Prints on an iPhone

5 years ago

When I use the blue Fn Key + Print Screen Keys on Windows, I can edit an email and paste the screen shot. Then I send the email to the recipients. But if the recipient is looking at the email on an iPhone, you cannot see the screen shot. I assume iOS needs help viewing the Windows screen shots.

What possible software can I add to the iPhone to allow viewing the screen shots taken on the Windows PC?

TIA, Luis

Exactly dadoes.

That's why I suggested an alternative, maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough.

Make sure it is saved as a jpg file, or change it to one while still on the PC, and then attach the jpg version to the email.

That is not possible. All I do is hit the keys on the keyboard to do a "print screen" and then I paste into an emaill, There is no way to control the file suffix, let alone change it.

Anyone else not happy with new iPhone/iPad IOS?

That was my first thought when I started reading complaints, app developers will be all over it & go 'retro'. Rumor had it on some boards that iOS7, when in beta phase, was being designed to compete with android (never saw an android in action myself, so don't know if it now compares). I'm still going to hold out but the only drawback to that is most app updates are going to be for 7 and if one isn't careful could accidentally update some apps that won't behave on 6. Still hoping Apple listens, this has been the first smart phone that I haven't wanted to pitch out a window at 60 mph (as opposed to my prior blackberrys, which made me go bat crazy sooner or later).

Apple has said that all 150,000 iPhone apps should work without a problem on the iPad. I will report in on Monday after I get mine. Pesh - you can create a macro in the ScreenLogic PC configuration setup. On page 2 of 5, you can create a new Feature Circuit and call it Lights. Then go into the Feature Circuit Configuration button and check off what existing circuits will come on when you activate Lights. After this, assign it to show up on the Water Features/Main page. Then it will show up on the Circuits page of the iPhone interface. Note: for a circuit to show up on the iPhone circuits page, it has to be assigned a location in ScreenLogic (Pool, Spa, or Water Features).

The only reason I change out each time is because I recoup money by doing so. Every time Apple does a release, a lot of companies start offering buy back programs for the old phones, including Best Buy. By trading in the most recent phone, you get a lot of money back and I've never paid out of pocket for a phone yet. Instead, I pay the 200 upgrade cost with the trade in money and have money left over. Last time I got about 350 for my 5S, I just checked and can get 420 for my 6. We're happy with the carrier, and my husband doesn't want a new phone so I just renew the contract for his phone or mine. Verizon doesn't care. If I wait until next year, I won't make that much money on it at all. But I don't want to buy a phone or installments so this year I am probably going to pass.

Do other folks here see a new view screen for this forum?
Q

I am seeing the old layout now. Very glad! I really didn't like the new layout because: (a) a bunch of different forums were all on the same page - Kitchens, Appliances, Design Dilemmas, and a few others. Too hard and too lengthy to find the threads I was interested in; (b) every time I opened a thread, a new tab opened, which meant a cluttered screen for me; I'd much rather just hit the back arrow from a thread to return to the forum; and (c) the dumb and huge banner across the top that said "Hi Friedajune, what are you working on?" So annoying.

Open your photo editor program, paste the capture into it instead of directly into the email. Save As a .jpg and email that file.

Ah. Paint only let's me save as PNG, JPEG, BMP or GIF. I assume JPEG = JPG = good enough?

Yes. Should be. "Try it" is always the right approach when doing something new.

If not, another way to do the same thing, do "screen copying" using the Snipping Tool, standard accessory with Windows. Type Snipping on the search area of the toolbar, it'll come up

Start it, select New, highlight the desired area and it's copied to the Clipboard. There's a Menu choice of "Save As" where JPG is an available choice.
