How to Set up Dual Monitors on Mac

[AL00ZER]

now lets say I have 2 monitors and put a window on the second monitor. Then I turn off the computer and dis-connect the 2nd monitor. That window is now trapped over there. How do I get the window back? (and I no longer have access to two monitors)

@AL00ZER

If you disconnect the second monitor while you have things on it, all of those things and desktop icons will be moved over to the remaining monitor(s). If you have two monitors with icons on both, you shut down the computer and remove a monitor, all icons will automatically be moved to the remaining monitor when you restart.

[AL00ZER]

@WindowsAndMacintosh I know that should happen, but it didn't

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@AL00ZER

Go to System Preferences, select Displays, and select "Detect Displays"

[AL00ZER]

@WindowsAndMacintosh I got it to work. yay! But the odd thing was, under the System Preferences window -> Displays, there wasn't a "Detect Displays" option. Interesting. Thank you for trying to help. Greatly appreciated :)

Why did you fake your voice or make yourself sound so bad?

[Filmmaker117]

your voice is wired and a bit annoying

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@Filmmaker117

*fake

I can't seem to understand how people are so stupid to believe that this is your actual voice.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@VictorGii

Exactly. I mean I'm sure a toddler has a Mac and goes on talking about Cathode Ray Tubes...

[MrGrubbytoe]

Holy....is this your REAL voice?!?!?

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@MrGrubbytoe

No it is now... Read the comments on this video... It was raised 22.641%

I didn't think macs where fast enough for 2 monitor...

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@ukjamie96

I didn't think some people were so stupid as to think that the computer's speed is what allows the second display to operate... The GPU and a lot of other things go into it...

[ukjamie96]

@WindowsAndMacintosh hey, can you forget I ever put that comment, a really wish I never put it lol!
