Do you perhaps mean "Spaces" rather than screens? If so, you can swipe up with 3 fingers on a track pad to open Mission Control and see your Windows and spaces. Spaces will be at the top. You can add a new space by clicking on the + sign.


If so, see the following support document to manage desktop spaces.

Sorry your question is not very clear.


Are you saying you have 4 connected external monitors to your Mac you can't find?


An M3 iMac only supports 1 external display in addition to its own display for a total of 2 displays.

You can manage those displays in System Settings ➜ Displays.


You cannot use anymore than that.

so the desktop spaces was not what you meant?


You keep using the word "screens", but I don't think you actually mean screens.


Perhaps you mean App windows.


Maybe you are referring to windows for apps you have opened?


Perhaps if you take a screen shot of what you mean if would be clearer.


How did you use to scroll through these "screens" before? What exactly did you do for that?


Maybe if we understand what you did, we can then know what you are referring to.




As it stands, I have no idea what you may be referring to.

I;,sorry you donot understand. On my iMac I have one screen.. The Ma can 2 duplicate screens. Let;s sayI am working one say a text script. I also need a numbers itemI have worked out, As I compose the text,I want to slwitch back and forth bringing in one calculation result over from numbers and insert it into the text dcument. In all my days with this 24”Mac, having up to 3 screens on my Mac has never been a probem and adding an additional screen was easy. Now it is not obvious or simple. Like this situation: I have your solution in front of me. On the next screen I go to System references and chooze X. That gives me one results and I need to go back to my first sceen to be sure that is the result.
