I'm new to the world of Macs & OSX, having just gotten a Macbook Pro for work, and after a few weeks, I've mostly gotten the hang of it. But I still have a few questions:
1) I regularly attach & detach two monitors to/from my Macbook. When attached, there's obviously two extra desktop spaces where I can have apps on. But when I detach the monitors, the apps in both screens merge into one space. Is there a setting where when I detach, the apps will stay in separate desktops?
2) I took the time to set up separate desktop backgrounds for all my desktops (including the two monitors), but after awhile, they all get reset to the same background. I'm not sure why this happens. Any insight here?
3) Why does my dock seem to jump around? It's usually on my MacBook screen, but this morning when I unlocked my computer, it was on my monitor. I don't even know how to move it myself (although that would be good to know)
4) A couple times now, Mission Control has stopped working, and I had to go to Activity Monitor and end the Dock process, which automatically restarts and Mission Control starts working again. Is this some known issue, or is there something I might be specifically doing that causes it to stop working?
5) Why doesn't a program actually exit when you close its last window? For example, I open a text file, hit CMD-W or the red circle to close it, but it appears TextEdit is still running. That seems odd to me.
Thanks!
