Using fullscreen on my first monitor makes the other one gray

So when I go into fullscreen on my first monitor, the other one becomes gray (like the Mac OS X login screen, almost like this: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/183/2/e/linen_desktop_shaded_by_tbg10101- d3ksrb5.png).
It happens when i click the http://gyazo.com/e9d8ec2ecff4828a8465368de564ebcb small 2 arrows button on the top right of the window, and it also happens when I open some fullscreen programs. The only things this doesn't happen on and I still can click on stuff and do stuff on the other screen is League of Legends, fullscreen on Video players in Google Chrome and Safari (like youtube.com, twitch.tv etc)... ( By the way when i go into fullscreen on youtube or twitch in Safari and i click on my second motor the Dock and a white list on the top comes up on the full screened monitor (the one with Safari), this is very annoying and should eb fixed.)
How can i fix this problem with the gray screen on second monitor tho? This problem kinda ruins the purpose why you should have a second monitor...
Thanks for the help

Hello Kladdy
Check the settings In System Preferences to make sure that Displays have separate Spaces and that should make it to where when you go full screen, it will not be a blank window.

I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?

Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

I want to use system and job variables to make the information dynamic in the Email Subject Line

Someone could mention the subject line character limitation needs to be expanded. 50 chars is not much to work with!
Is it possible to make SUBJECT Line to make , use system and job variables to make the information dynamic , Right now there is a limit for Characters in the Subject line ... is it possible to expand ???

I've encountered the same issue and worked around it by using generic variables that would always be the same for a certain email alert. eg = "System XYZ -source file delay for :"
So a sample subject would then be:
Where ENV = DEV/UAT etc.
This functionality allows you to use generic alert templates for all filewait jobs, and just filling in the variables.
A slight problem is that although this works very well, the use of group variables in email / alert actions is (/ wasn't) officially supported by Cisco when I last ran it past then. Cisco, any update in this?

My MacBook Pro died, but have a TimeMachine backup. I've bought a new one. How do I make the new one just like the old without affecting the OS on the new one?

One you start up the new one for the first time, Setup Assistant starts and offers you the option of migrating your old Mac to your new Mac with Time Machine, among other choices, as the source. You can also use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities Folder) to do the same thing.

I made a partition for Yosemite. It's the only one I use. I want to delete the other one that came with my mac. It won't let me do it. How do I do it?

Hello. I made a partition a while back for Yosemite. Now, I have two partitions. The Yosemite one and the other one that I made smaller and changed the name to Erase so that its easier. I need more space on my Yosemite one. How can I Make the Yosemite Partition have all of the memory. I hate that I know I have like 900 gigs lurking around my iMac that I can never use. Please help.

Erase the large partition. Clone the small volume to the large volume. Boot from the large volume. Delete the small volume then extend the large volume to the full size of the disk.

Separate first column from the others

Hi,
how can I separate the first column from the others in a way that it does not scroll out of the active window? I.o.w., I want column B, C, D.... to slip "under" A.
I got a "Names" list (column A), and in the following columns lots of stuff, and when I scroll to the right / to the last column, the Names are out of the window.
Thanks a lot!
Peter

Hi Peter,
That was I that provided that answer. Freeze Rows, Freeze Columns doesn't break a column or row from the table it allows the remaining rows or columns to scroll under it.
Here's the trick, the spreadsheet grid must be longer or higher than the boarder of Numbers program. In other words you cannot see the lower right or upper right of the far end of the spreadsheet. It's past the boarder. Then when you scroll it will slide right. Make the Grid out to column Y. Now make the program smaller in size. Now lock a column then as you move from cell to a cell farther right the columns will scroll left until you come to the end of the grid—in this example column Y.
Truly I hope that makes sense for you. I reread it, it confused me. It takes a few seconds to visually show it but, longer to explain. Think of tying a tie, bam it's tied now walk someone through tying it.
Cordially,
RicD

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Not via Time Machine. It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT: And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port. Second TC not required.

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.

Hi Pompey Woody,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to use a different Apple ID (iTunes Store account) with iTunes on your Mac, you can sign out and then back in with the other account:
Open iTunes. ...select Store > Sign Out, then select Store > Sign In and enter your current Apple ID.
These steps are found in this article:

MAC Mail: I have 2 accounts set up. I used to be able to add attachments to both accounts, but now I can only attach using 1 of the accounts. The other one doesn't work.

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.
