When it is just one monitor and the mac they work seamlessly. But when i add the second it wants to add a second desktop with no windows available and mouse will not extend over [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Just plug the monitor in with a cable, and it should be recognized directly.

The "add" button only works for Airplay compatible displays connected to the same Wi-fi network as the Mac.
