Dock missing from computer

My Dock will not appear on my computer. Tried all suggestions and nothing has worked. I have a MACOS SONOMA 14.6. Dock does not show when I click bottom or sides of computer. Tried to adjust in settings but no luck.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 14.6

There is no clicking...


move the mouse to the Dock area(?) Have you tried rebooting the machine.





You can try simply relaunching the Dock—

reboot or in Terminal.app copy and paste:

killall Dock



If a corrupt plist  delete the com.apple.dock.plist


Finder>Go>Go to Folder    copy and paste:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist


delete the plist and reboot or in terminal copy and paste:

killall Dock
