I can't be sure when this stopped working because I haven't used it for a while, but it was possibly since I upgraded to the 3.2 SDK. In Organizer, when I select the "Screenshots" tab and press "Capture", nothing happens.
I've tried this with three different devices and I've restarted my Mac. What's happened, and how can I fix it?
I don't have the solution for your problem, but here's a workaround:
Use the device to make your screenshots (press the home and lock buttons simultaneously). The resulting screenshot will be saved on the device.
To transfer the screenshot to your desktop don't use slow-ish iPhoto or iTunes to synchronize. Instead import the images using Preview.app. There's a command in the file menu to import images from your iPhone when it's connected.
On xcode 4.0 (+), you can go to organizer and create a screenshot of device.
Window -> Organizer -> click the device tab and then screenshot button.
Hold command-shift-4. Then drag it across the iPhone screen. This key combination give you the ability to take a screen shot with the size you want.

I need a little help.
I'm trying to create an iWatch app with Xcode a Single View Project with AppleWatchKit.
Somehow the iWatch simulator is not visible just the iPhone 6 simulator.
Please help.
I have read a lot of posts but none of them helped.
Regards,
Krisz
Select Simulator and click on Hardware from IOs simulator menu Bar. and show buttom of Hardware External Displays. Now click External Display then show List of device dimension with Apple Watch simulator. now select Apple Watch simulator according your need. I attach screen shoot.
When I create a window-based-application (in Xcode 4, via simulator and iPhone device, even if don't add anything to the project or the window),
if I kill the app, when I open it again the view is frozen and when I click the home button it disappears into a black window and I can't do anything...
What is the problem?
Thank you!
check if the application is running in background, it should be in your plist.
that will be a start, if the problem is still there u should post some of your code.
I was scratching my brains over something when this popped in my mind. Can we set the simulator's home-screen background image to an image of our choice? Case in point is Xcode 3.2.2 simulator 3.1.3.
Certain versions of the simulator appear to support this, not just for the home screen but for the lock screen too (which you get to with Command ⌘+L):
Drag an image from your Mac to the simulator.
Mobile Safari opens. Click and hold the image.
Choose Save Image.
Go to Photos.app, and into the photo album.
Choose your image, and set it as the home screen background like you do on a device.
You may need to restart the simulator.
Note that since this isn't exactly officially supported, it may or may not work for you depending on your version of Xcode or the simulator.
It is possible (again) with the iOS Simulator version 6 (for iOS6).
First, add some images to your photo library. You can do this by using Mobile Safari (either surf the web or drag a local image to the simulator). Then perform a long press and save to camera roll.
Second, open "Photos", select the image and set as Background.
Third, restart the simulator (this irritated me at first, as it doesn't seem to work immediately)
How to do this for the Simulator in 11.4.
Drag and drop a photo on the phone.
Go to photo app and view app.
On the bottom bar you should see 3 icons. Hit the icon with the Arrow coming out of the box like you would AirDrop it to someone.
On the Options panel you should see Use as Wallpaper right below the AirPlay option.
Cheers
Hmm. Probably, since you cannot set backgroundimage on your homescreen(exept from the locked view) on on actual iPhone pre iOS4, you cannot do so in the simulator either.
Dragged the image onto the simulator (iOS 9.3) as #boltclock suggests, but nothing happened. However, I then noticed that the images I dragged were showing up in the Photos app on the simulator. From there I just set the wallpapers the same way that you set them on a physical device. Did not need to restart the simulator.
I thought I wasn't able to do this, but then I dragged the bottom row of options to the left and low and behold, there is the "Set as wallpaper" option.
:-)
Since this is an old question, I want to confirm this works in Simulator 13.2 for the iPhone 13 Pro Max (I'm running it on on macOS 12.2 Monterey).
In the simulator take Safari to the image you want to set as the background
Right click (or 2-finger press-click on trackpad)
Selected "Add to Photo"s from Pop-up menu
Open Photos app, and click the 'sharing' icon (box with up arrow coming out of it)
Scroll the popup upwards until you see the "Use As Wallpaper" menu item (if you have a Magic Trackpad, you can scroll with a three-finger swipe-up up on the screen)
That's it. You can set the Home and Lock screen that way.
While developing an iOS iPhone app using the simulator, I copied a space scene with just stars for the background and and moved the app icons all to the home screen except left my app icon alone on a different page that way I minimized light and clutter.
I've always been able to get images into iphone simulator 3 by the usual methods described on this site (i.e. dragging image into iphone simulator).
However, having upgarded to the new xcode 3.2.3, although I can still save images to the simulator, I can't actually see them there when I go to the library on the simulator.
Thankfully - it works when I build for the iPad simulator.
Has anyone else go this problem or is my install of the new xcode screwy?
I've noticed that you can add them if you change the device in the Hardware menu. Switch to iPhone and do the usual. Then switch back to iPhone4 and you'll be able to see the images in the photo library.

You should also file a radar with Apple. ;-)
I was had the same problem after v4 upgrade but it seems to work if I drag the images into an album in the actual 'photos' app.
You can save images in the simulator by going to Safari on the iPhone,iPad.
Navigate to some URL eg, hot pictures of Megan Fox on google images. Click and hold on your favourite image of here, hopefully in a very hot pose. Then select save from the menu that appears.
This normally does it for me.
[UPDATED]
Sorry this does not work on 3.2.2 but has worked in the past.
Seems that you need to run the Photos app on the simulator after dragging in images in order for it to make the images available from your app.
First you simply run simulator then tap on back button after this drag image from your macbook u found small image on simulator screen hold courser on image
after a while bring a pop-up screenView on iPhone simulator screen to ask that you want to save this image or cancel
you just save and go back
open photo gallery you must be see one image in photo gallery
I developed an app which takes 2-3 seconds to start up. I want to show a picture in this time frame, a UIImage or some other view. How can I do that? I tried pasting it in the window but it isnt showing.
You need to add an image to your project called Default.png. This is what the iPhone will show while your application is launching.
The easiest way to accomlish this is as follow:
1. Start XCode
2. From Xcode run the app on the iPhone and have it show excast screen you need
3. in XCode start Organiser tool
Organiser tool will allow you to capture screen directly from the connected iPhone and will even give you an option to have this saved as default.png directly as part of your project.
Worked great for me
