Mavericks + Menu Bar

George Drake

Not sure if it's Proclaim or Mavericks but my projectors are my 3rd screen. Sometimes the menu bar shows on my projectors when i click on something on my 2nd monitor and sometimes it doesnt. I can go back and forth between the 1st and 2nd monitors a few times and then randomly the menu bar pops up on monitor 3 (projectors)

Maybe im just not understanding how the new menu bar works. Im a windows type guy!

Hi George,

That is a new Mavericks feature but as you say, not needed for the projection screen.  

To remove this, on the Mac OS go to System Preferences, Mission Control, remove the "Displays have separate Spaces" check. You will need to log-out and log-in again for the Finder to be disabled on the other screens.

We only use Macbook Pro and projector and this worked for us.
