Question

I have an on/off slide button on my iPad. How do I screenshot a picture?

Community Answer

That is the ringer switch, not the on/off button. You will find it on the side opposite the side with the charger port. Press that button and the home button simultaneously.

Question

The picture takes, but why can I no longer hear the camera shutter sound?

Community Answer

It means that you have turned your iPad silent. There should be a switch on the side that will turn it off silent. You can also go into Settings > sounds and turn up the volume on your ringer.

Question

Why will my iPad no longer take screenshots?

Community Answer

I would try rebooting your iPad. If that doesn't solve the problem, then there may be an issue with the internal hardware, so you would need to take it to be professionally diagnosed and repaired.

Question

How can I delete a screenshot?

Community Answer

After you have taken a screenshot, go to the top left corner and click Done. And it will say save to photos or delete screenshots. When you clicked on Delete screenshot, it will be deleted. But you have to check your recently Deleted and you will find the screenshot before you can permanently delete that screenshot from there.
