[Q] Mounting Nexus 4 with cracked screen on OSX

I've ran a backup in recovery mode and am trying to get the backup onto my laptop, in order to restore it to another phone.
The problem I'm having is that the phone is set to connect as a camera when connected via the USB cable, so iPhoto opens when I connect the phone. I actually need a file system browser to open, however the screen on the phone is cracked and it's no longer possible to navigate menu items using the screen, and so I can't change how the phone connects when plugged in via USB.
suggestions?
Cheers

This isn't going to help much (sorry )
but when I was trying to open the file explorer on my PC it wouldn't do it unless Debugging was turned off. And when it was turned on only the camera photo sharing option would work. So for me to get on my phones storage via PC, I had to turn debugging off. Idk if you have it on, but if that is the problem... hate to say it, but you're kinda ****ed. Hope someone will give u a useful answer :/
at least this comment will be a bump
I could be completely wrong though...

Screencast HELP

Hello guys,
I am looking to get my phone to do screencast, I work either from home or in the office, and it is a pain to check IM's and SMS from the phone all day and night. I want to be able to just use the PC that I am working at.
I installed the SDK and attempted to get screencast to work on my rooted android 4.3 Note 3. However all I get is the picture of my phone, I can control the phone from the phone and the screencast updates, however it does not work in reverse whereby using the mouse and keyboard to control the phone.
I was just wondering if anyone has attempted this, has better solution, or knows that it will or will never work.
any help would be appreciated.
I think you would try teamviewer quicksupport with samsung addon

[Q] Auto Launching Program when connecting to WiFi Network (on PC)

Hi All,
I don't actually have a Samsung Galaxy S4 but I have a friend that does, I have a HTC DNA. He posed me with a good question. Is there anyway to have a Windows 7+ computer recognize when you have your phone connected to the same wireless network so it will launch an Application or do a task such as play a song on the windows machine? I assume it would be the same for any Android Phone. He isn't against installing a program on his computer and an App on his phone. The only thing like this that I could see was a wake on LAN App that turned on the computer, but what if the computer was already on and you just wanted it to run a task? Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any additional questions.
This isn't really S4 specific but Bluetooth would be the better way to go.

Enable developer mode on factory reset Cracked screen

Hi,
I have a Nexus 4 with a cracked screen so it does not respond to touch at all, but the screen still lights up and the buttons still work.
I'm trying to get it into a state where I can use AndroidScreencast or another program to be able to use the phone from my computer and/or connect a HID bluetooth device.
I have ADB installed on my computer and it doesn't show the device even after updating the USB drivers on Windows 7.
Is this even possible? Any and all help is appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Do you remember if you enabled USB Debugging on your phone?
I may or may not have, I don't remember. :/
