Dock doesn’t move to external monitors

14” Apple M3 Pro / 18GB Memory, macOS Sequoia 15.0


Since upgrading to Sequoia, the dock will not move to other monitors when MacBook is open.

• Hiding the Dock still keeps it locked on the MacBook’s screen when the lid is open.

• Primary monitor is set to an external display.

• Switched the primary display between both external monitors and the MacBook without any improvement.

• When the MacBook is closed, the Dock moves seamlessly between the two external monitors.


No workaround found other than keeping the MacBook closed. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I have a similar issue - 15" MacBook Pro using a CalDigit port replicator and two external monitors - if I have the app dock 'hide', and I slide down to the bottom of the monitor, the dock will appear on the 'other' monitor. It's a fun game to play.


If I set it NOT to hide, it only appears on the laptop screen (where invariably I have to go to catch it).


Every once in a while, with enough reboots, it will work, but it's more the exception than the rule!
