Where can you find screenshots taken on a MacBook Pro?

Answer 1

By default screenshots are saved to the Desktop (Named Screen Shot Date time) but it is possible that the location has been changed - this is usually moved to the Pictures folder in a folder called ScreenShots or possibly in the Documents folder.

Answer 2

Pressing the 3 keys: Command Shift and 3 will capture the whole screen. Pressing Command Shift and 4 will give you a cross hair cursor that you can drag around the part of the screen to be captured or pressing the Space bar will change the cross hair cursor into a camera icon which will capture the window that it is over. In the Utilities folder (within the Applications folder) you will find the Grab utility that adds timed screen shots etc.

Answer 3

If you take a full screenshot (cmd+shift+3) or a sectional screenshot (cmd+shift+4), it shows up on the desktop. It's called "Screen shot YEAR-MONTH-DAY at HOUR.MINUTE.SECOND AM/PM.png". For example, if I take one right now, it's called "Screen shot 2012-08-16 at 12.17.54 PM.png".
