The only reliable way to create a remote print-screen is by using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard. It even works with Alt-Prt+Sc to make screenshots of individual Windows.
When you’re not a frequent iTunes user, and recycle computer systems, then every once in a while you will get you in to a situation where you have Music on your iPod, but not on your PC any more.
Whereas iTunes is great at putting music on an iPod, it cannot get it back.
There are numerous paid tools to get the music from your iPod, but doing it manually is not that hard. Below are a few links to get you started, but they all come down to this:
Your iPod has a hidden folder called iPod_Control in the root
Inside the iPod_Control folder is a folder called Music
Inside the Music folder, there are folders named with letters and numbers like F00
Each numbered folder has media (music, video or even photos!) files with a strangely encoded name like B00N.mp3 or 3DUN.m4v with supported media extensions including mp3 m4a m4p jpg gif tif m4v mov.
The media files contain meta data with song, artist, album, etc.
The steps to copy them back
Do not erase your iPod when opening it in iTunes!
Ensure you can mount your iPod as a disk (the “enable disk use” option in iTunes)
Mount your iPod as a disk in Mac or PC
Ensure you can view the hidden files
Copy the Music folder including all subfolders to your Mac or PC
During the last update of Microsoft Remote Desktop for my Mac, I noticed there is a beta available with a feature very familiar for users of visionapp – ASG-Remote Desktop: it allows you to manage common credentials.
Note the uncommon URLs of both the beta page redirect and the download:
In the mean time, I learned that “Microsoft has acquired HockeyApp. This is a tremendous opportunity to continue to provide developers with the best app development tools and users with the best app experiences.”, but the aka.ms is new to me. Anyone knows what it is about? A successor of go.microsoft.com/fwlink redirects?
New Mac OS X beta of Microsoft Remote Desktop announced.
I’m keeping an eye on this, as future features interest me much: Multiple monitors, Clipboard redirection, Remote Desktop Gateway, Remote Resources (RemoteApp and Desktop Connections), and Azure RemoteApp preview.
BTW: I wasn’t aware Remote Desktop made it this many platforms yet, as I’m mainly a Windows 8.x/7, Mac and Android user, but here you go:

I knew I had solved this in the past, as the MacBook Air showed up correctly in the list:

The trick is that there are 2 names for your Mac: the name for the Apple side of things, and the name for the Windows side of things. For the latter you’d think it would be named SMB or NetBIOS. Read the rest of this entry »
Luckily, both the Windows Explorer and the Mac OS X Finder allow you to specify the full folder path to browse, where you can enter a path that otherwise would (partially) be invisible.
Windows Explorer: just enter a full path in the address bar.
Mac OS X Finder: press Shift-Command-G (or Menu -> Go -> Go to Folder...), then enter the full path.
An alternative for Mac OS X is the payed (but great tool) Path Finder which is one of the best Finder replacements I know.
