How can I use remote desktop to control my PC at home from my Surface?
I tried searching for an answer, but all the "tutorials" are non-specific in the one area that I do not understand.
I want to do is be able to use my tablet of Microsoft Surface of anywhere I have internet and use it to control my PC in Windows 8. Which doesn't seem to be the object of the Remote Desktop application, correct? Now, I have enabled Remote Desktop connections in Control Panel and have the application installed on my surface and they both use the same Live ID, but the next step listed is just 'type the name or IP address of the computer"and none of these tutorials explain how to know exactly what one of these things is. I tried to get the name I gave the computer, which also appeared on the window that I learned to remote connection settings, but nothing happened, and to be honest I don't know why he would do. There are a large number of computers on the internet and I don't see anything that would prevent me to a share with a different device name. On the other hand, rather too many results the app can't find.
I thought then that I would try an IP address, but for some reason whatismyip.com said he did not know. It's probably something on the router and maybe the reason why the previous attempt failed, but I don't have control of the router, so if that's the case then I need an alternative.
I'll also accept other software that would make it easier, let's just connect from these two devices and selecting from a list, but I have to be able to be controlled from a device Windows RT (I don't need to go the other way, and I do not think that that is supported anyway). Feel free to just suggest something even if you don't know it will work around the problem, it is not necessarily reproducible on your system, so the only way to know is to try it.

Hope this helps,

If the computers aren't on the same network and and/or that the network is not along the NetBIOS name - then you will need to use the IP address or some form of dynamic DNS. The alternative would be to change your HOSTS file so that you can give the name you want and not have to remember the IP address that is now associated with that name in the HOSTS file.

Can I use remote desktop to connect to a desktop PC to perform tasks of high performance?
I have a spec PC up in one room of the House, used for high-intensity like photo editing functions and games. I am looking to buy a laptop or a tablet to allow me to do this from other parts, but I am aware that the laptop will have to be high technique to do so at the same level.
I wanted to ask what will happen if I logged on the desktop via the desktop PC Windows remote. That would allow me to edit photos or play games using the spec of the PC or it automatically pick up the specifications of the laptop and run programs using this information?
If it's this one, can anyone recommend an alternative? I was wondering if a touch screen wireless or wireless monitor and a mouse that could pick up connection around the House might work?
Hope it makes sense.

Hello
Why do you think that someone is watching your computer use? One would have to have
loaded tracking software (trojan) on your computer or have access to the source of the network
you use, such as cable, on your leg of it and have very sophisticated equipment.If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not

Sound when you use remote desktop...
Hi all. I am glad that I found this forum. In any case, I was FINALLY able to connect to my desktop, Windows XP Pro, using remote desktop, since my laptop Vista Home Premium, but I can't get sound from my desktop for work. This was the reason why I wanted to log in because my office has an impressive system of 5.1 speakers and we ALL know what kind of sound, a laptop... lol. I want to be able to play music on the desk while I work on the laptop. I get the sound through the laptop here, but I can't figure out how to have the opposite effect. I noticed on the office, he says he uses the audio device of RDP and I even tried accepts for the Realtek device but nothing helped.
Is it possible that I can hear my music on my desktop?
Please, it would be SO awesome!
Thanking you in advance,
KarenOk. Open the desktop connection remote [DRC] on your mobile client DRC and select Options > local resources. Configure the remote computer to allow for the remote computer.

How can I use my photo albums as screensaver with Apple TV 4th gen
How can I use a photo album that I created as a screensaver on the generation of Apple TV 4 because it is not an option in this sense?
What follows is the Apple TV 4 user guide...
Screensavers
Apple TV displays a screen saver when it remains inactive for a predefined number of minutes.
Air screensaver shows beautiful videos of slow motion of the places of the world, upload to an online server, making the screen saver more engaging and dynamic. For the antenna, you can control how many times Apple TV check and download new videos.
Change the frequency of aerial screensaver download. In settings, go to general > screen saver and select Download New Videos, and then select an option.
Return by using Apple TV. When the screen saver is active, press the contact surface to get to some app have been previously using.
Choose a different screen saver. In settings, go to general > screen saver and select the Type. Then select the screen saver you want to use.
Select the photos to display. Many of the screen saver options display a slide show of photos - it can include photos provided by Apple, or your own collection stored in iCloud.
