I love using Mission Control. I've noticed, however, that after implementing Keychain in iCloud & then setting up screen lock, all the windows that i placed on my various Mission Control Desk tops before the screen locks, are back to one single desktop after I log back in. Is there any remedy for this?
Excellent - I'm new to Mac and this answered all of my questions and at the same time exposing new ground.
I have a lot of videos to catch up on!

Wow. This is maybe the most useful video you guys have done. I have a new MacBook Pro and this has completely changed how useful it is to me. I use a lot of photography apps, and I like to use them and Safari in full-screen. Now it's easy. Thanks a lot, Gary. I even forwarded it to some friends and family.
No mention of hot corner for mission control. That is what i find to be the most convenient way to use it.
I set it up to use F3 for mission control, that key is used for that function anyway, and has a picture on it. Likewise, I set F4 for the Launch app, and it matches the key also.
Thanks Gary, very good. A variation that I use is to change the desktop background when I set up a new one - it helps me keep oriented. Control-click the desktop background/wallpaper and the Desktop & Screensaver window appears from Systems Preferences. Then choose an alternative.
Hi Gary,
Great videos. I learn something every week. I can bring up MC using the Control up arrow but I am unable to switch between desktops using the Control left/right arrow keys. All the boxes in System Prefs are correctly marked. Any suggestions?
Could be some other software that is intercepting the commands. Hard to say.
I use an app called BetterSnapTool to augment Mission Control's features. You can use it to set up short cuts (&/or Hot Corners in the Menu bar and screen borders if you prefer) to snap windows into specific places on your screen. I usually get Mission control to keep the Finder window on all desktops (with one tab for the Desktop so I can see stuff I've dumped there), then have other desktops dedicated to two or three windows.
Will added desktops automatically reopen after a restart or shutdown, so that I can have separate icons, screen shots, etc., on each desktop?
I just answered my own question. Sadly, the desktops are identical; removing an item from one removes it from the other(s).
What would be perfect is if they were truly distinct.
Very helpful intro.
How does one move a file from one desktop to another?
On Desktop1 I have a file xxx.pdf in folder "Dnlds".
How do I move that file to folder "SMI" on Desktop3?
