When I try to take a screen shot (Command + Control + Shift + 4) I hear the camera shutter sound but no image appears on my desktop.
I Googled the problem and tried to change the saving location using the terminal command line as such:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/
but this did not change anything.
Would anyone know what I can do to fix?

That's the problem. The shortcut to put a screenshot on the desktop is just Command + Shift + 4 (or 3). Don't press the control key; when you do, it copies to the clipboard instead. That's why you're not getting a file on the desktop.
