One method is before you unplug the external monitor (or before you unplug the dongle) is to open up the Displays Preference Pane in System Preferences and click on the 'Gather Windows' button.

When a monitor is unplugged (including the adapter as well if applicable - leaving the adapter leaves OS X thinking the monitor is still plugged in) all the Windows should move onto your main screen. :-)įrom my answer originally at Server Fault Question 7237: I'm not using Spaces, by the way - so I'm pretty sure this isn't some weird Spaces issue. Is there a better way? Is there some way of marshalling windows back to a specific monitor, or a utility for moving 'open'/running windows? Am I actually doing something wrong? :-) I can then restart the second monitor, etc. Closing and restarting the app doesn't seem to help (as the app is helpfully remembering where my window previously was) and all I end up doing is shutting down the Mac, unplugging the second monitor and restarting it, opening the application again and this seems to persuade the Mac to rethink the main window position, and all is well.

If I do a 'hide all' in the application's menu (usually it's Mail.app, so let's stick to that one for the example), everything disappears and Mail seems to think it's got an 'inbox' window in the Windows menu, but there's nothing visible. Occasionally I seem to be able to move a window entirely off-screen (I'm not quite sure how) and I can't get it back. I have this problem sometimes with my dual-screen setup, especially when I'm juggling lots of things around.
