Lose "Desktops" after disconnection of the screen of the laptop

I have the strangest question that I can't seem to solve.  We hope that you can show how the solution is right in front of me.

I have a Macbook Air, under OS X 10.11.4 I connect a widescreen Apple when I'm at my desk.  Through Mission control, I have "Screens have a separate space" checked so that I can use the split screen function.  Throughout my work day, I always use my laptop screen and screen more great for a variety of tasks.  Well, when I unplug my laptop on the big screen and then try to do a job of just my laptop, I can't find some open windows and applications.  In fact, I can not even find 'Desktop 1' when I use the Mission control.  It gives me 'Desktop 2' and the ability to add more posts to work.  There has been moments that I can't find my open applications and windows anywhere.  Sometimes I can get to them through the docking station.  But even in this case, it's really awkward.  Each time, I have to restart my computer and load new apps by scratch so much they are all together again.

What I'm doing wrong here?  I think it has something to do with the help of each display as a separate space, but how should I manage my activity if so?  I don't really like on displays with their own space, but I have to have this verified function if I use the split screen.  I use this feature all the time so don't want to let go.  Is there a way to consolidate computers to office/spaces after that I took off of the second monitor?

Anything you can help me with is appreciated.

Hi James,

I understand that you want to connect your MacBook Air to an Apple Thunderbolt display.  When you say 'split', ask you to share your desktop on both screens?  If so, you can configure the Thunderbolt as extended desktop display.

OS X El Capitan: connect multiple monitors to your Mac

Configure the screens as extended desktop

You can arrange your displays in all configurations to create an extended desktop. For example, you can set your screens side by side to create a large continuous desktop.

  1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click view, and then click Arrangement.

  2. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Take care

    Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close windows open and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon in Start Menu, select (Admin) command prompt and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

  • SP U400 - cannot return to the desktop after entering in the mode 'sleep' by closing the lid

    Satellite Pro U400 V-11 I used for a week. I don't know if this is a problem or I did something wrong. My setting of closing the lid is recording mode "Eve" in Vista.

    When I close the lid and open a few minutes later it's ok, I see the password login screen. But if the computer is in "sleep" for a while it does not return to the office when I lift the lid. The screen is black. Fan started working then quiet several times.

    The first three LEDs on the left are green. Keyboard does not respond. And also switch / stop does not work either I press once on or hold it. And only after I unplug the power adapter and press the power, it works. But it restarts the system and Windows could not close correctly the error message is displayed.

    Is this normal or something wrong with the mode 'sleep'?

    Hello

    I read on some of the similar problems regarding "standby" mode and the black screen.
    Someone suggested to update the BIOS and the display driver

    So I highly recommend it too much
    See the European driver of Toshiba page, choose the model right for laptop and try to update the BIOS, then the display driver.

    Reboot the laptop and see if the problem still occurs.

    Good luck

  • A few minutes after starting windows, the laptop crashes

    I use a Toshiba laptop model: ppm81e, with windows Vista professional.
    Last night it was working fine, but when I woke up this morning, I found that the notebook is turned off. Apparently, for three hours, there was no electricity in our region and which caused the closing down.

    When I turn on the laptop, all load pretty normal as before. However, 4 to 7 minutes after the start, computer crashes laptop all at once. I can't disconnect, I can't restart, I can not load the Task Manager, and same taskbar are locked. At the beginning of the process hangs, I can switch between the windows using Alt + Tab but it is useless and will not help anything...

    I tried to use system restore, but unfortunately it says there is no restore point previous (I guess it is disabled).
    So I tried to use the repair using Recovery DVD that I did the first time I turned on the laptop.

    So, I inserted the recovery disc 1 DVD and boot from the DVD.
    Now he's stuck in a scene where says:
    ' Waiting for ODD vacancies...
    STRANGE drive f: loan.
    Check for support in the F: drive... »

    And it is about 30 to 40 minutes, that's all there is...

    Here is the screenshot:
    Screenshot 1
    Screenshot 2

    I don't know why the laptop is suspended without no reason that I can think of and I don't know how to get out of this mess, especially when my last shot (DVD release) adds another problem to the equation, instead of solving a.

    Please guide me.

    Hi Jean did.

    I suggest that you contact Toshiba support for help with the recovery process.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    If you are able to solve the problem of recovery process and the laptop still crashes at startup, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Address for new tabs bar loses focus after you type the first character

    All new tab to open switches focus to the bar address (which I do), but as soon as a beginning by typing, I can get more than 3 or 4 characters before it loses focus, and no other keys are entered.

    I have a load of search keyword set up, rather than using the separate search bar, so I can't for example, quickly hit Cmd + T to bring up a new tab and then type "im [keyword]" to search Google Images directly.

    The problem is now that I can get the first letter, perhaps the first, but cant type anything else because the address bar loses focus.

  • Compaq Presario S4500UK won't start after disconnecting from the wall outlet. What is a CMOS battery problem?

    Reconstruction of recent software with HARD drive internal extra (March 2011) under Windows XP/Linux dual-boot installation worked fine.  CD/DVD RW drive, started giving errors so replaced cyclic redundancy check drive a week ago.  All still OK.  Change of electricity supplied and increases energy use conciousness off the machine to the outlet of the overnight after normal shut down.  Machine will not re-start not in the morning.  Not load BIOS; all lights came briefly and then die after 3-4 seconds with power still led on.  You can get a similar effect by plugging the keyboard into the PS2 Mouse Jack I did once!

    After 20 minutes or so try all kinds of things managed to boot from the CD of Linux.  Shut down/restarted and everything is fine so I don't switch off at the wall.  Also seems to be OK after brief power off for 5-10 seconds but the problem persists with any long disconnection.  It seems that after 10 to 15 minutes from power-on and 2-3 attempts to restart, BIOS comes up and all is well, but he stopped in the middle of a start of Windows or Linux on a couple of occasions.

    Am I right in thinking the problem might be the result of a dead CMOS battery?  The reason that I ask is that the clock seems to keep time OK and there is no apparent problem with the BIOS once it loads.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.  New config info below.

    Dual boot Windows XP Pro SP3 of Compaq Presario Bios v3.03 S4500UK / Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (2.6.32 - 33)

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I don't have all the answers so I went forward with replacing the CMOS battery, but that did not help.  The problem is also obvious if I turn it off and leave it for an hour or more before trying to restart even if I do not unplug the wall plug.  It seems to take about 15-20 will start again before it fires.  I would be really grateful for any clues as to what is wrong.

    OK, guys.  I finally solved the problem.

    After you have calculated the power needed for the config curent, I discovered that, using various ways to estimate, he walked between 321W - 383W.  It was pretty weird that the only thing I added was a HARD drive and a memory stick and the wisdom of the other guys on this forum, it's that there is a lot of capacity within the factory installed power of 250W.  Yes and here's the rub: the modern replacement devices usually have upgraded capabilities and use more power.  And so when I replaced the drive CD/DVD RW added a few watts, as the sectoral approach of the floppy drive.  It appears also that the optical USB mouse needs more juice than the good old PS2.

    I just installed a new 450W PSU Powercool and Bingo!  The processor is faster, too.

    Hope that my pain and trauma saves someone else having to suffer the same.

  • setting up time capsule and express wired after disconnection of the airport

    I have a 2 TB Time Capsule and three 3 wired express airport throughout my house.  I know that when I added first the cable express, that I had to call apple to change some settings.  Now I can't service because they are more than a year and after a recent quick breakdown (two or three) power is the airport expresses link is more and a bunch of my settings seem to have changed on the Time Capsule.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

    If you think there are setting changes, then it would be better to start over.

    • First of all, you want to make a 'factory' reset on all of your base stations. This will return them to their "out-of-the-box" configuration Once finished, leave them turned off.
    • Then, we put up the Time Capsule (TC). Since it has been reset, it will broadcast a Wi - Fi unsecured network with a network name of something like: Apple network NNNNNN.
    • Use AirPort Utility on your iPhone, Mac or PC to configure the TC as a stand-alone wireless router. In other words, configure it to provide a secure WiFi network.
    • Once the TC has been configured, verify that the clients on your network can access the Internet with it.
    • If he succeeds, proceed to the next step. If this is not the case, stop and post back with your results.
    • We will now configure all of your base stations for a roaming network.
    • Power-up one of the three stations based AirPort Express.
    • Once again, you will need to use AirPort Utility to continue. The utility must now find the Express, and if all goes well, it will offer to the Express allows to extend the TC using Ethernet. It's what you want and just go through the steps automated window 'Installation '. And then on actually.
    • Do the same for the other two express base stations.

  • Roads remain in the routing table after disconnecting from the vpn client
