Just re-read the title and OP content to realise that your assessment is correct, and my edit was irrelevant.

Do you have a PrtSc (Print Screen) button? Press it to copy the whole screen (or screens if you have multiple monitors), open Paint and press Ctrl + V to paste it in. Save the file. Pres Alt + PrtSc to take a screenshot of only the highlighted aplication.

Or use the Snipping Tool as mentioned above.

Edit: Sorry - missed the Mac User comment at the end of the OP.

In keyoards I do have a Print Screen button, but do I have to download the snipping tools for that?

Here is a simple tip to take a screenshot without a third party tool.

1. Press the Print Screen key to capture the entire screen or press Alt+Print Screen to only capture the
active window.
2. Open up Paint by going to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Paint and go to Edit->Paste or simply
press Ctrl+V.

Here are a few examples of using tools.

In case you haven't seen it a really great free screen cap tool.

I love Lightshot It’s on Windows and Mac.
