Tips for capturing images from an iPad

Post by tbschaus »

We maintain a few user guides for iPad apps.

Other than using the iPad's native screenshot capability, is there a way to use Capture to generate screen captures from the tablet?

Thanks!

Meaning nothing snarky at all, I don't see how that'd be remotely possible given that Capture is a Windows application.

Thanks for the answer. I figured it was worth crowdsourcing the question, in case there was some solution of which I'm not aware.

Press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button simultaneously. It takes a snapshot of whatever's on your screen at that time. The device stores the image in your camera roll :)

Have a great weekend.
