Thanks a lot! After more than 30 years, I've just migrated from Windows to Mac and the adaptation process is driving me crazy. That was very useful.

Is there a way that I can make my 2 desktop screens hold different files? I want the main screens to be completely different... ex: desktop 1 has all personal files, and desktop 2 would have work files

I have my Mac in clamshell mode and use 3 monitors. The monitors each have a desktop number 1 to 3. However I want Desktop 1 to be on a different monitor and the same for desktop 2 and 3. So large monitor as desktop 1, 15" potable monitor as desktop 2 and finally iPad via sidecar as desktop 3. I can't seem to change this order. Is there a way?

@thetilo8682 7 месяцев назад

MacOS 14 seems to have the menu bar on each of the displays, and because of that you have separate spaces/desktops for each monitor. How to disable that? In previous versions of MacOS the menu bar was just on one display... and spaces/displays would switch all screens.

Recently switched to Mac and this is one area where MAC disappoints. The multi tasking features in MAC is no match what windows 11 has to offer. :( Missing all of those features.

@JohnSmith-zl8rz 3 месяца назад

I don't like one thing: I have 5 apps, each app is assigned to one desktop, so I have 5 desktops. If I quit one app! I still have 5 desktops, one is empty! So when I switch between desktops I see a empty desktop. The desktop should be close it if empty and crated again if I open that app (due that app is assigned to that desktop). You got my point? That's just an example, due I have around 10 desktops and I close 5 apps, so I ending with 5 empty desktops.

@vladsimedru1788 5 месяцев назад

It seams that everytime I am on a desktop, and I try to make an application on full screen, is moving that application from the specific desktop I was in. Does anyone know how to make the app in full screen and to remain in that specific desktop?

@junaidalthafs5166 9 месяцев назад

Is there any way to rename a desktop? It would provide better accessibility.

@DansTutorials 9 месяцев назад

Unfortunately you cannot rename it. ☹️

@user-gx2ec7sc8j 7 месяцев назад

My desktop has the HD icon and six folders on it, but when I open Mission Control by "Control up arrow" it opens with two empty spaces and says "No windows available". How do I get my desktop, with the folders, to show in Mission Control? I need to move the photos in the folders into the Photobook Editor.

@DansTutorials 7 месяцев назад

My guess is you have multiple Spaces, and you are on a Space without any windows. Try swiping up again and then move your cursor to the top of your display. You can then close empty Spaces. 😊

@giovannasperanzini3604 10 месяцев назад

Can you have different folders on different desktops?

@DansTutorials 10 месяцев назад

Sorry, you can't. The Mac has the one desktop folder which is used by al the desktops.

@leonardoberretta 9 месяцев назад

Is there a way to create a new desktop without folders?

@DansTutorials 8 месяцев назад

Unfortunately there is not a way to do this. ☹️

@TheChillGuy000 9 месяцев назад

If we shut down the computer, will my desktop with lots of open windows disappear?

@DansTutorials 8 месяцев назад

It depends. When you shut down your computer, it will ask if you want to open all the current windows when it restarts. If that is checked, then all your windows will open again. 😊

@oak415 8 месяцев назад

how do I disable this. Very annoying

@DansTutorials 8 месяцев назад

Unfortunately there is not a way to disable this. It is part of Mission Control. ☹️

@con_sci 4 месяца назад

spaces are useless since it is impossible to disable that slow ass sliding animation that takes forever before it actually shifts focus to the new space
