Yosemite consolidating multiple desktops on dual monitors,

I have a Mac mini (mid 2010) - 2.4 GHz - 350 GB - Yosemite 10.10.2 - with dual LG monitors. Instead of using Mission Control I prefer to have multiple desktops on each monitor. I dedicate a single app to each desktop, e.g., Safari, iTunes & iPhoto on Mon1 facing Mail, Messages & Calendar on Mon2, and swipe between apps, which I find more convenient. Six numbered desktops plus Dashboard.
In Mavericks this arrangement was preserved on restart. However, in Yosemite, all apps on Mon2 are consolidated in a single desktop, the remaining 2 desktops - 4 & 5 - have migrated blank to Mon1, PLUS an additional blank desktop - 6 - is generated on Mon1. The single desktop on Mon2 is now 7. On subsequent restarts there become eight, then nine, then ten desktops, etc.
I've been up and down the settings options, tried System Help, outside searches, and even mentioned the issue in passing during an unrelated Apple Tech Support call. To no avail. I had hoped that one of the updates would resolve this. It is easily but inconveniently resolved manually, but as I mentioned this was a non issue in Mavericks.
I mentioned this problem in an earlier post, but in less detail. Has anyone else experienced or heard of this?

I did find a workaround........ that works so far....... If I put FCPX into full screen mode.  Then my events dissapear!!!!  But if I toggle on and off the "Window/Show Events in a separate window" menu then the Events reappear and I can swipe between desktops and all the windows behave as they should.  That's a relief.  The old method doesn't work but at least this one does.  I hope this helps someone who is swiping like a mad man like I was.

  • Share desktops between dual monitors

    I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.2.2 on my MacBook Pro. I just hooked up a second monitor and have it in a dual configuration.  I see that I can make new desktops in Mission Control for each monitor independently — but what I would like to do is to be able to scroll through the same set of desktops on either monitor.  So then I would have, say, 4 desktops, and I could left/right swipe between them on either my retina display, or my external monitor.  This would allow, for instance, me to display "Desktop 1" on both monitors at the same time, if I choose.
    Anyone know how to do this?

    Go into *System Preferences* and adjust the Tracking speed under *Keyboard & Mouse*. Adjust it until you get a smooth transition between the two monitors.

  • Display multiple desktops on one monitor

    I have a 32 inch Hannspree HDTV connected to my Mac Mini via HDMI.
    I would like to create four quadrants on my screen and display a different desktop in each quadrant.
    I know how to create the multiple desktops in mission control, what I don't know is how to display them all at once!
    I am not looking for answers involving multiple monitors! I want to divide my 32 monitor up into four seperate "screens" and display a different desktop in each "screen"
    Thanks for the help!

  • Full Screen Problem - Dual Monitors - Hulu Desktop

    I am using Hulu Desktop with dual monitors. I keep Hulu on full screen on monitor #2. I use monitor #1 for computer use, etc.
    It is IMPOSSIBLE to look at an app in full screen mode on monitor #1 and keep my Hulu full screen in monitor #2 at the same time. So if Hulu is playing and I open up a full screen Mail.app...the hulu screen (mon. 2) just shows that grey background.
    Apple NEEDS to add a way to make the #2 monitor immune to the spaces functionality. That or make a way so that an app can stay on top of ALL SCREENS not just user-created ones.
    I have seen people suggest the, "Right click the app in the dock and choose all screens" but that ONLY works for user-created desktops. It won't make the app be full screen over Mail, iCal, Address book, etc when they make their own spaces window.
    Help! :-)\

    That's annoying, isn't it?
    It's why I quit using iTunes in full screen.
    I play my movies in VLC and "maximize" the window so I can keep working on the other display. I don't knwo of any other way aorund it.

  • WIn 7 PRO to Win 7 PRO Remote Desktop with matching 1920x1080 Dual Monitors

    I have done quite a bit of looking and still do not know if  WIn 7 PRO can connect to a to Win 7 PRO  with Remote Desktop with matching  1920x1080 Dual Monitors. It seems like it cannot use dual monitors by the HELP file.  But
    then why does it have  "Use all of my monitors for the remote session" as a selection in the Connection settings ? Just what is the real answer ? Both systems are 64 bit.   If the answer is YES.   Please tell me how !

    Hello i-wonder-why,
    To use this Remote Desktop Multimon feature, you must:
    1.Connect using the Remote Desktop Client 7.0 (mstsc.exe) available initially on Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2.
    2.Enable Multimon using one of the three methods described below:
    a. Click “Use all monitors for the remote session” in the client (mstsc.exe) window.
    b. Use the “/multimon” switch on the mstsc.exe command line.
    c. Add “Use Multimon:i:1” to the RDP file.

  • Mission Control Dual Monitors moving windows between desktops

    So far I like the new Mission Control however I am having what I beleive to be an issue.
    I have a dual monitor setup and multiple Desktops configured. If I want to move a window from Primary Monitor Desktop 1 to Primary Monitor Desktop 2 it works but if I want to move a window from Primary Monitor Desktop 1 to Secondary Monitor Desktop 2 it will not let me. I have to do the move in two steps. First I have to move it to Primary Monitor Desktop 2 and then from there I can move it to Secondary Monitor Desktop 2 ?
    Please can someone verify this ? Is this a limitation or a bug ?

    Hehe, Linux+Compiz rulezzz. You can tweak it the way YOU need and not Apple think you should do 'cause they "just knows better what market needs"
    My ideal setup on Linux workstation was: 2 Graphics Cards, 4 Monitors, 2 of them fixed, so I could put there applications and windows which should be permanently seen, for example -- Zenoss monitoring dashboard (screen 1) and stocks tickers (screen 2)
    Screen 3 and 4 respectively were part of the Compiz Cube with Xinerama activated, e.g. one extra wide desktop across 2 monitors, seen as semi-transparent Cube during transitions between 4 virtual destops, so I could almost immediately see where all my windows are.
    And now, Apple, could you tell me, If I've got Mac Pro with 2 Graphics Cards and 4 Monitors, is such a setup feasible with Mission Control?... OK, ok, you don't have such an eycandy as Transparent Compiz Cube, I could survive without, but having simultaneously 2 monitors as part of virtual desktop and 2 others fixed is absolut 'a must have', so, now's your turn... HOW?

  • Dual display, multiple desktops

    Hello everyone.
    I've recently purchased a 2nd monitor for my pro, and came across the issue of having the 2nd montior change each time I change the desktop I'm currently using. After some searching online, I've found out that there is no workaround for this issue.
    My plan was to have 1 program on the 2nd monitor (watch movies, farm on WOW etc), while I do 'real' work on the laptop. Not being able to use the multiple desktop feature ***** since I've gotten used to it and use it quite often.
    Now, I'm running OSX 10.7.5, so I was wondering if the solution to my issue was fixed in the latest OSX. I never really had a reason to upgrade, but if I can have the 2 monitors set up the way I had planned, I would definitely upgrade.
    Cheers

    You've done all the relevent troubleshooting (reinstalling the OS probably was over the top though). I suspect the cable. Do you have a friend who was a computer with the MiniDisplay Port or are you close to an Apple store? If you can check the cable before going to the expense of getting a new one that would be good.

  • Can you use Dual Monitors on an HP Pavilion "All-In-One" Desktop?

    Hello,
    Just seeing the words "dual monitors" on the forum makes me realize I have several extra flatscreen monitors sitting around and I always loved them at work. I have an HP Pavilion All-In-One Desktop and is it possible to run dual monitors on an All-In-One desktop and what would I need in the way of accessories (cables, etc.) to be able to do that, if it's possible? Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Yosemite - dual monitor; full screen option

    I have a Mac Mini running the latest version of Yosemite. I have two monitors. Because I want to use Spaces, I do not have separate desktops on each monitor. My problem comes in when I click on a window "expand" button. When I do this the window expands to fill its current monitor. What is new with Yosemite (at least in my experience) is that all content on the other monitor (doesn't matter if it primary or not) is blanked out. Presumably the purpose of this is to allow someone to focus better on the task at hand. However, focus is not the only reason why someone would want to fill their current monitor's screen with a single window. It could just be used as a short-cut way to enlarge the current window.
    I'd appreciate any suggestion as to how to work around this besides dragging the corner of each window to fill the monitor screen. And I'd recommend that if this behavior is as planned, that users have an option to [ignore | leave as is] the other monitor's content.
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

    I haven't seen this occur on my Macbook pro with secondary or triple monitors.  Is this happening with all fullscreen content (eg. YouTube)?  What browser and Flash Player Version are you using?  Also, is this a retina macbook?

  • Dual monitors: Independent desktops? (Desktop zooming)

    Hi all,
    I just got a Mac Pro over the weekend. It came loaded with Tiger and a Leopard upgrade disc. I've upgraded to Leopard. I have two 24" Dell 2405FPW LCD monitors attached to the Mac Pro. so, the full desktop size is 3840x1200. Because I am visually impaired, I use the Universal Access Zoom feature a lot.
    Is there a way to make the desktops on each monitor to act more independently? For example, when zoom the desktop, option + up trackballthingy, the whole desktop across both monitors zooms. Lots of times, a window or text field that I'm working with is split between both monitors. It would be very nice to zoom only the desktop on the left monitor and leave the desktop on the right at full scrteen. This way, I could browse the web on the left monitor having the desktop zoomed in and also watch a DVD full screen on the right monitor.
    My WinXP box has a Matrox Parhelia video card. The Matrox video cards have a hardware feature called PixelTOUCH which allows me to zoom the desktop on each display independently of each other.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Mirroring is already off. My desktop is 3840x1200. The zoom feature zooms the whole 3840x1200 desktop across both monitors which is OK a lot of the time. However, also, a lot of times, I'd like to see only one half of the desktop zoom and leave the other half on the the other display alone at full screen.
    BTW, Leopard does seem to change the zooming behavior somewhat from Tiger. I'll play with various settings to see what I can comp up with.
    Thanks for the suggestion,
    Steven

  • Considering buying a Mac Mini but I need to know about support for dual monitors using DVI connectors.

    I have a couple of DVI monitors and I'm looking to replace my Windows desktop with a Mac Mini.  I found an article that says it supports dual monitors with Thunderbolt, but I can't find any discussion of using it with existing monitor, or running multiple DVI displays off a single Thunderbolt port.
    Has anyone done this?  If so, what's the best way to achieve it?

    Yes, the Mac Mini has both an HDMI and Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port and supports dual displays in either Mirroring or Extended Desktop Mode. 
    It ships with an HDMI to DVI adapter that you can use for one DVI Display.
    For the second DVI display you will need to buy a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and plug that into the Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port.

  • Dual monitor possible on G3 Beige 300?

    I would like to be able to use a dual monitor set up, one for all my menus, and the other for workspace in each program. I am running OS 9.2 now but will be upgrading to OS X shortly after the holidays. Is this possible? What kind of hardware/software would I need. I already have 2 monitors, both 15 pin traditional PC monitors, one already being used by the G3. Any help would be great.

    The Mac has been able to support multiple monitors arranged into an "Extended desktop" since the Mac-II days. Every well-behaved Mac Application can be used with it, and the monitors can be completely different and it still works great. The left half of a window can be shown on the left screen in 32-bit color, the right half can be on the right screen in Black-and-White. When you scroll it, they move together. There is no additional software needed.
    Each display needs a Video card for its screen buffer. There is one built into the Beige G3 motherboard. Its 2 MB VRAM standard can be expanded to 6 MB VRAM. The built-in had a "two-row" connector -- you need a VGA adapter or Multiple Scan adapter to change to three-row "VGA" connector AND provide the right code so that the right resolutions can be supported.
    Additional display adapters can be plugged into an available PCI slot. Mac-specific ATI cards with 16 MB VRAM or more and VGA connector are popular, and well-supported into Mac OS X. Allan Jones recommended a list on a post nearby:
