Follow me on Twitter: @nmv1973 Easy Steps to Access your Mac From your iPhone or iPad. Apple's hardware remote does owners of late-2009-and-after polycarbonate MacBooks because they lack an IR port. Here are the alternatives. Remote Desktop goes preinstalled with every modern Windows version. All you need to do is to use search in the Start Menu and launch Remote Desktop Connection App. Things are a bit different if you have a Mac or iPad. Obviously, there is no Microsoft Desktop Connection application preinstalled on Mac or iPad, and Apple does not provide built-in remote connection tools. Luckily Microsoft got your back. If you want to use Remote Desktop Connection on Mac or iPad, all you need to do is simply download the Application and set up Remote Desktop Connection. This article is about to show you how to do everything right. One thing to note: we suppose the Desktop you are trying to connect to is already properly set for a Remote Connection. How to enable remote desktop connections to your Windows PC is a topic of a completely different article. Do note that by default Windows has remote connection disabled and you need to manually enable and configure it. How to Use Windows Remote Desktop on Mac? 1. First, you need to download the application form the Mac App Store. Simply open App store and search for “Remote Desktop Connection”. This application is completely free and has no ads. Thanks, Microsoft! 2. Open Remote Desktop. It will greet you with a big blue button Add Desktop. It will disappear after you add the first desktop. Next time press the button with a plus mark at the bottom of the window. From the drop-down menu select Desktop. A new dialog window will pop on asking you for Desktop details. Now you need to enter Desktop details you want to connect to. 1. Type Desktop IP address into the PC Name field. If you do not know which IP to use do the following thing: press Win + R on your Windows PC and type cmd. Press Enter and type in ipconfig command. Locate IPv4 Address. This is the IP address you need to type in the PC Name field. 2. From the User account drop-down menu, you can select Ask me every time or Add a user account. If you leave the first option, then Remote Desktop will ask for credentials every time you try to connect. In the second case, you can save username and password in order not to enter this information every time. 3. Friendly name field helps you to keep your Remote Desktop connections list tidy. If you leave it blank, then the app will use the IP address as a default name. 4. Click Add and open the connection you have saved. 5. Enter Username and Password. An important thing to know: if a Windows user uses a PIN code to log in instead of Microsoft Account password, then you need to enter Microsoft Account password. Authentication using PIN code won’t work. Also, username should be Microsoft Account email address, not something like Johnny McJohnnyface. 6. You are in. How to Use Microsoft Remote Desktop on iPad? The main idea is the same except for the user interface and some options. We will lead you through the process of setting up an iPad Windows Remote Desktop Connection. Did you know? Windows Remote Desktop app on iPad allows you to transform your iPad into an almost fully-functional Windows 10 tablet with full touch input and native screen resolution support. Just make sure you have a decent Internet connection. 1. Open App Store on your iPad and search for Microsoft Remote Desktop. Again, this app is completely free. 2. Open RD Client on your home screen (RD Client stands for Remote Desktop Client). 3. Press the little plus button at the top-right corner of the screen. 4. Select Desktop. On the next window tap PC Name and enter the IP Address. 5. You can leave the User Account option blank. Remote Desktop client will ask you for credentials when you run a connection. If you want to save username and password tap User Account and type in all the necessary information. 6. Tap Additional Options. This menu allows you to roam device sounds from a Desktop to your iPad, set friendly name, swap mouse buttons or enable admin mode. 7. Tap the desktop you have set up. 8. Wait for the connection to initialize and enter your credentials. 9. Done. Here are a few things to know about using Remote Desktop Connection on iPad. As we mentioned before this app is a nice way to transform your iPad into a Windows 10 tablet. Remote Desktop app allows you to control remote computer using two methods. Tap the button with three lines at the top of the screen and look to the right of the screen. By default, the Remote Desktop app uses the Mouse Pointer input method. This method works like a touchpad. Just move your finger on the screen to move a cursor. Tap the screen with one finger to make a left-click and use two fingers to simulate right-click. If you want to switch to the touch mode, click Mouse Pointer button (it will turn to Touch). Now you have a Windows 10 tablet inside the iPad body. Screen resolution is another thing to note. As you probably know, iPad has a nice Retina display with a decent resolution, but by the default Remote Desktop app on iPad scales down screen resolution to pathetic 1024×768. This option is fine if you have a slow Internet connection or weak performance. The downside is obvious—pixelated picture. Luckily you can switch no native iPad resolution. 1. Return to the main menu and press the button with a gear wheel icon at the top-left corner. 2. Tap Display Resolution. 3. Select Match This Device or use Custom. 4. The best option is to use native resolution, but if the PC has problems with performance or can’t provide high-resolution picture—use default or custom option. Provide complete technical assistance to all the computers on your network without ever leaving your desk. Apple Remote Desktop gives you screen-sharing and text-messaging capabilities, along with a wide range of powerful remote assistance tools. Thanks to screen sharing, you can observe 1, 10, even 50 screens in action simultaneously, allowing you to closely monitor your network. And that’s your entire network — not just Mac computers. You can also view and control the screens of any Virtual Network Computing (VNC)-enabled computer, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX. When a user needs assistance, you take control of any individual screen and view the remote desktop in full-screen mode. Control Macbook Pro With Iphone Remote Drag and Drop If the situation requires more than just a demonstration, you can easily transfer files and folders between your computer and a user’s computer by a simple drag and drop (or copy and paste). With pinpoint accuracy, you can graphically copy files to a particular location in the Finder, or directly into any application or document window on the remote computer. System status indicators System status indicators are perfect for a quick check on all your systems. A summary view gives you insight into the overall health of a system. Detailed views give color-coded status of CPU, disk, and memory usage. Color indicators change from green to yellow to red when usage levels reach a defined threshold. Iphone Remote Access Curtain Mode What if you’re doing some fine-tuning but would prefer to keep the work hidden from the outside world? Turn on Curtain Mode and the local user’s view of the desktop is hidden. You can still view and have full control of the remote system’s desktop, but no one else will be able to see what’s happening. This feature is perfect for those managing systems that have public displays, such as in museums or kiosks. Mac Remote Iphone Camera Apple Remote Desktop also lets you send text messages to an individual or to all your clients. So those “mandatory upgrade” announcements will always be seen. And if your clients ever need your attention, they can do the same. For more detailed messages, initiate a private real-time,one-to-one text chat. You can be sure your clients will always get your message..

  • 1 a Digital Forensic Analysis on the Icloud® and Its Synchronization To
    A Digital Forensic Analysis on the iCloud® and its Synchronization to Apple® Devices Rachel Friedman, BS, Josh Brunty, MS, Terry Fenger, PhD Marshall University Forensic Science Center, 1401 Forensic Science Drive, Huntington, WV 25701 Abstract Apple’s iCloud is a popular application on supported Apple devices. Little is known about how to obtain data from iCloud. If an image can be acquired from an Apple device, then there should be artifacts that show iCloud was enabled. Images were taken of the iPod Touch 4G and the MacBook Pro, before and after iCloud was enabled. The before and after images were compared to one another. Both iCloud images of the iPod and the MacBook contained property lists that supported iCloud was enabled. However, no artifacts were found showing the two devices were synced to each other. This information will provide preliminary evidence about how iCloud syncs to Apple devices and what evidence it stores on them. Introduction A revolutionary computing tool of this decade is cloud computing. According to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), cloud computing is defined as “a model of enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable resources that can be rapidly provisioned and release with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”12 In simpler terms, it is a remote service that allows multiple users to access information using multiple devices. Cloud computing is unique because of five significant characteristics. First, it is a pay-as- you-go service,
