A thousand words?
« on: April 07, 2016, 06:41:35 PM »
If one image is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth a million? [rolleyes2] Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration... OTOH, don't forget you have a built-in movie maker that can record your iDevice as well as any part of your Mac screen. The file will be much larger than any text file, of course, However, seeing the steps you take to do something may be a lot easier than reading many steps with terms that might be misunderstood. Here's a short description on how to do this, at least in more recent versions of the OS:
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

Thanks for the nice tip.

Yes, pictures = 1,000, movies = 1,000,000, at least in storage needed to save them :)
A clear conscience is a great pillow.

Dear X-Air, dfw, and WeatherCat technology documentation collectors,


Okay thanks.  Not sure I'll ever use it but it is a nifty trick!

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

P.S. I went ahead and moved this topic to the "General Computing/Macintosh" topic so that people could find it more easily.

Didn't work here. On step 6, "Choose your iOS device from the menu that displays," no iOS device appears. My iPhone was plugged into a USB port and awake. I give up.

What version of QuickTime Player are you using?
Although it didn't seem to matter here, but there is a warning to make sure any app that auto opens (iTunes, Photos, etc.) when you connect an iDevice should be Quit.
May not work on older iDevices.
Also, it may not work in northern Arkansas... too many hills, ya know. :P

Nope! Too late. I already gave up.

OK. I'll try again tomorrow. ? maybe.

It would be really useful to me if it could capture the iPhone's camera over WiFi.
