Rdp on iPad only shows current window

Hi All,
I have a customer with Windows XP configured to support RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) connections.  He can access this machine from several Windows computers through MSTSC (M$ Terminal Services Connector) and I can access it from Linux with rdesktop.
Problem, on his iPad, with either this RPC client
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rdp-remote-desktop-connection/id529509413?mt=8
or M$'s Remote Desktop, I can connect perfectly.  Problem: the only thing that shows is the current windows that is in focus.  You can open up menus and buttons from inside the current windows, but you can not operate things outside the current
windows.  You can't even see them.
What a huge annoyance.  You have to go to a Linux or a Windows computer first, open what you want to be seen on the iPad, log out of Windows or Linux client, then log back in with the iPad client.  And, hope that is all you want to do on the remote
machine.  You can not even work the stinkin' start button!
Can this be fixed?
Many thanks,
-T

Figured it out.  It has to do with knocking some else's  session (someone/where else is logging with RDP and you  knock them off).  It is reproducible across all platforms.  You just have to exit the window that is in focus and you
get the desktop back.  No small feet, especially if iPad tapping the in focus window's "X" decoration does not work.
Thank you all for the help!

  • Power View in SharePoint only shows current year.

    I have a customer using the Power View add in for SharePoint 2013 based on SQL 2014.   I have created a BISM object that connects directly to an OLAP cube.
    When I build reports or Pivot tables against this object they work fine.  However when I build dashboards in Power View they only show the current year's data
    We do have a default date dimension which forces for some reason Power View to only display current year. Therefore the slider doesn’t work since it has only current year / date showing up.
    After removing the date dimension in one of our dev. cubes, Power View showed all dates and we were even able to uses the date animation with slider worked fine.
    We don't want to do this in production however, because many of our reports rely on the default date dimension.
    Has anyone come across this or know a workaround?

    I am going nuts! I had selected 'Analysis Services' instead of 'Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View'

  • Contribute CS4 only shows browser Window?

    Hi All,
    I have a bizzare issue that I can't seem to find anyone else having.My Contribute CS4 is only showing the browser window. This means I get no File, Edit, that sort of thing. It is super frustrating because is severly limits what I can do.It also means I can't resize the window, much less move it. It is basically set in size and location (the center of my screen). I have deleted the preferences folder and registry entry to foce them to be rebuilt, but it didn't help at all.
    I'm sure this is something simple, but I have tried every key combination I can think of, none seem to be working. I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about.
    Just as an FYI, I'm running Windows 7.

    Hi Kathy,
    Yes the menu bar within Internet Explorer is showing. It is frustrating because I literally cannot do anything other than hit ALT+F4 to close the application or click on things showing within the area in the screen shot.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • IPad only shows a grey screen.

    Yesterday evening my iPad turned off by itself. Now when it start it only shows a grey screen. A reset causes the Apple logo to appear momentarily I cannot get the iPad into recovery mode.
    The battery is fully charded, was plugged in over night.
    Originial iPad running 5.1.1
    Only chnage yesterday was I updated one App.
    Tried standard reset using home and power button.
    Interesting the Apple Logo appears to have a yello mark on it, but that may just be an illusion.
    ITunes seems to see the device but says it need to be unlocked. " iTunes cannot backup "iPad "iPad name" because it is locked with a passcode."
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried that. Nothing appears on the iPad screen although the backlight come on but in iTunes I get the same error. " iTunes cannot backup "iPad "iPad name" because it is locked with a passcode.

  • HT1491 My iPad only shows one song from a whole album I purchased on iTunes from my Macbook. iTunes only shows the album as purchased but will not allow me to download to iPad.

    I bought a full album on iTunes but the iTunes on my iPad mini will not allow me to download the full album. It shows that I have purchased the item but the purchase does not show up in my "Purchase" tab of iTunes on my iPad. I have updated my iPad completely. I have spent all weekend trying to fix this issue and I am so frustrated!!

    Thanks for the reply! I am using the same username for my Macbook and iPad but had to update my Apple ID to a current email. After I did that I updated my iPad to the current system and then my iTunes stopped recognizing my purchases. It wasn't until JUST NOW that my original Apple ID would allow my password to delete itself from the iPad. So the issue seems solved now. User error.
    Thank you!

    Hey RStarks04,
    Sounds like this is the image you're seeing?
    If so, you'll want to perform a recovery-mode restore. You can read more about it here:

  • IPhoto 09 (8.1.2) - Only shows blank window/no pix after iTunes/iOS4 update

    Before updating to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone iOS4 (iPhone 3GS) my iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) was functioning perfectly. I have hundreds of photos and no issues with importing or displaying of photos on the Macbook.
    I updated to iTunes 9.2 so I could download and update my iPhone 3GS to iOS4. Once I did that update my iPhoto install has been trashed.
    Now, when I start iPhoto I get an empty two column window with no thumbnails or event folders in the larger white window column and no events/faces/last import/etc in the smaller grey left column. The two window columns exist but they are empty, no text, to pictures, nothing.
    I verified that the picture files exists within the iPhoto Library subdirectory under ~/Pictures.
    I tried starting iPhoto while holding command+option and then rebuilding the database. Also tried rebuilding small thumbnails. Nothing worked. iPhoto still starts into a blank window and there is no way to look into pictures or events manually. Even using toolbar drop down menus.
    Software Update shows no updates available so I am guessing this is a new problem or something they haven't fixed yet.
    When I start iPhoto, I get this console message:
    7/12/10 12:45:44 PM iPhoto[1039] * -[FlippedViewTextView setFont:]: nil NSFont given.
    When I starting clicking the main drop down menus in iPhoto I get:

    Ideas?

    Perhaps a full repair permissions is necessary or something..
    That's what one of the options in the iPhoto rebuild did. Create a new library, add a few photos and see if all is well. If so log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto there.
    If iPhoto works OK in the other user account and in the new library your library is damaged and the repairs are not working. If iPhoto doesn't work in the other account nor the new library a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
    If iPhoto works in the other user account but not in the new library then there may be another preference files in your account that could be the culprit. Here's how to check that out:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
    4 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
    Click to view full size
    5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

  • After downloading IOS 5.1.1 new iPad only shows connect to iTunes screen- computer does not recognize iPad now

    Against my better judgement, I let iTunes update my ipad with the 5.1.1 IOS.  After the download was complete, the iPad showed the Connect to Itunes screen and the device wasn't showing in my iTunes so I unplugged the USB.  Now the iPad is stuck on the Connect to iTunes screen.  I have tried doing the system restore trick, and that looks like it works when the Apple logo shows up, but right after that it goes back to the Connect to iTunes screen.  I tried just plugging it back into my computer and connecting it to iTunes but now neither iTunes nor my computer recognizes the device.  The iPad will not go to any other screen and will not even power off, just stays on the Connect to iTunes screen.  I live 300+ miles from the nearest Apple store so going in is not really an option.  I would appreciate any help that would keep me from throwing this thing against the wall. 

    Dear Diavonex,
    I have a similar issue, I tried doing the restore, but now the computer is unable to recognize the ipad. Itunes does not detect the ipad. The ipad works but not able to sync with the computer.
    Checking on the device manager of windows 7, it shows that there is an unknown device with no driver for it. How to get a driver for the same? Any suggestions?

  • Music App on iPad Only Showing SOME Songs...

    ...yet ALL songs appear to be ON THE IPAD when viewed in iTunes on my MacBook with the iPad connected to my MacBook
    So here's my issue and Googling for days has only produced a bunch of theories and random guesses at a solution but no real solution.  Here we go:  With my iPad 2 (ver. 5.1.1) connected to my MacBook, I drag a handful of MP3s (audiobook tracks) onto my iPad.  Using iTunes on my MacBook, I create some Playlists on the iPAd for these new tracks.
    Then, I press the Sync button in iTunes to ensure that what I have just done on the iPad in iTunes on my MacBook actually syncronizes with the iPad.  Everything looks good.  With the iPad still connected, in iTunes I can see the handful of new tracks I just dragged over onto the iPad and they actually appear in the correct Smart Playlist I made.
    However...
    When I disconnect the iPad from the MacBook, then open up the Music app on the iPad, I cannot see my new MP3 tracks anywhre on the iPad and the new Playlist is empty. 
    Now, keep in mind that SOME tracks transfer and are visible in Music.  However, it is not 100% consistent and it fails more often than it is successful.
    I have tried deleting the tracks and the Playlists from the iPad entirely then dragging them back onto the iPad (via iTunes) and while the tracks actually show that they are in fact on my iPad (via MacBook iTunes) while the iPad is connected to my MacBook, when I disconnect the iPad from MacBook/iTunes, I am unable to find the tracks on my iPad via the Music app.  They don't show up in Music, Audiobooks.  They don't even show up by author or genre.  It's as if they aren't even on my iPad.  Yet, when I reconnect the iPad back to the MacBook and view the contents via the iTunes on my MacBook, viola!  There they are on my iPad. 
    I have successfully used this method to add MP3s to my iPad and occasionally, the tracks actually do show up in my Music app on the iPad.  However, success is intermitent and uncertain...and rare.
    I am NOT using iTunes Match so that option is turned OFF in my iPad Settings.  I have tried turning it on to see if it would make a difference and I onl get a dialog box that tells me that I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match.
    I have updated my iPad IOS to the latest.   Have powered off completely then powered back on.
    Still....nothing works.
    Thanks so much for your input.  I'm perplexed beyond belief by this random and frustrating issue.
    C'mon gurus and expert users.  What do you recommend?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
