How can I capture and save an image on my iPad screen for later retrieval, perhaps on my Laptop (Windows 7)?
Is there a way to copy the image to a storage device?
Thanks, Don.
iPad, iOS 5.1.1, My Laptop is Windows 7
You can take a screenshot of the iPad's screen by briefly pressing both the home and the sleep buttons - the screen should then appear to flash and the screenshot saved to the Camera Roll album (Saved Photos on a first gen iPad) in the Photos app - you can then either email that to yourself from the Photos app or copy it to your computer : copying photos to a computer.

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

Its easy to take an iPad screenshot. Press & release the Home and the Power buttons quickly at the same time. I have trouble with that so I press & hold the Home button and then very quickly press and release the Power button. Your screenshot is stored in the Camera Roll of the Photos app. Probably the easiest way to get it to your PC is to be using iCloud, or email it to your PC. There are also some wireless sync apps in the iTunes app store that let you send photos from the iPad to a Mac or PC. I use PhotoSync.
