After migrating to new Sequoia version, the dock cannot be moved to another monitor

After migrating to new Sequoia version, the dock bar cannot be moved to another monitor.

I am using the usual "move the Dock to a different display by moving your cursor to that display, and then moving the cursor as far down" but doesnt work.

I tried setting the monitor as primary but the dock always stays in the laptop monitor.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0

Can confirm. When the external display is aligned above the macbook, its not possible to move the dock there. Only if the external display is left, right or at the bottom. Seems to be a bug.

Sorry Barney but you're just plain wrong. This has worked for as long as I can remember (I've had a Mac for about 15 years) as described by others. It's just broken in Sequoia. Not sure why you think we'd overshoot the bar at the bottom of the screen, I think everyone using a computer nowadays can navigate using a mouse very accurately. Who wants to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the lowest monitor to open an app? Apple just need to fix it and give users back what they're used to and want.

I don't know why level 9 user can say something like this :). Many of users said that this was a bug, even Apple bring it back the function in version 15.1. Wanna stand with your thoughts?


I am a new in this forum just to report this bug, but I have been using MBP for about 12 years for developing software. But if you said that I'm a beginner, I can accept that as maybe you are using Mac since 50 years ago. 😂

NOT ONLY CAN YOU NOT MOVE THE DOCK BUT WITH THE 15.0.1 UPDATE YOU HAVE NOW LOST THE MENU BAR AT THE TOP OF THE SECOND MONITOR AND WHEN YOU SCROLL TO A DIFFERENT DESKTOP ON ONE MONITOR, IT MOVES THE OTHER ONE TOO - TO A COMPLETELY BLANK SCREEN,


I LEFT WINDOWS AND PC YEARS AGO FOR THIS KIND OF NONSENSE, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER APPLE - THIS IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE.

This is particularly annoying when you work with ultra-wide screen. Here is my screen set up:



Impossible to get the dock on the top screen, even if only a small portion is actually a seam. It worked great before, it still work on my old MBP 2019 that I didn't upgrade to sequoia yet. And it would be great if people that doesn't understand the issue could stop polluting this topic.

After installing Sequoia instead of having the doc pinned to the bottom of my Mac it moves to my 36" display on the right that is about 6" above the Mac display when opened. There is no option to select a specific monitor, just automatically hide and show doc which takes little time but I work in severe weather and that second counts. Thanks for your feedback. I wish we could exchange problems haha.

That's good to hear! 15.2 has left me with my doc chasing the display I'm on and I personally prefer it pinned to my Mac and always visible. I cannot find an option under dock in settings that would indicate I'm positioning the doc on a particular monitor. Did you take any action or did it correct itself. The Apple support agent told me that the doc is intended to move with the monitors. It is, if you want it to, unless in 15.2 they decided to do away with it after many, many years.
