Answer 1

There are two different ways to take screenshots.

1) Use an application called "Grab." It should be included in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder.

2) Use keyboard shortcuts. To take a screenshot of the entire screen, press SHIFT + Command (Apple) + 3. To take a screenshot of a part of the screen, press SHIFT + Command (Apple) + 4 and select the portion of the screen you want to capture.
