My dock is gone on my macbook. how do i get it back

Hi md,

System Preferences > Personal > Dock

Test different settings, such as Automatically hide and show the Dock.

Click on the "?" at the bottom right to get Help on Dock preferences.

I hope this helps.

Ian.

For your problem -- one other thing to check, is if you have any other monitor attached to your macbook (even if it is turned off). To fix it, go to system settings --> display --> arrangement, then drag the little white bar onto the montior where you want the dock. Hope that helps!

Please update your profile to show what version of the operating system you are running, and your products (what machine you are using - I assume it is a MacBook because this is the MacBook Pro forum). Also, that will help theJoeShmoe (his 'other monitor' question). We can not see what you see.

when i go to the apple

Do you mean the Apple Menu > Dock > Dock Preferences?

Here is what I get:

Automatically hide and show the Dock is second from the bottom. If there is a tick in that box, the Dock will be hidden until you place the cursor at the very bottom of the screen. Then the Dock will appear. (Again, I must assume that your Dock Preferences are for the Dock to be positioned at the bottom.)

More information will help.

Ian.

For example, this is my desk:

As you can tell, the dock menu is on the bottom of the big 30" screen.

And if I turn that monitor off, it will still be there only.

But -- if I want to move the dock menu to the monitor of my Macbook, then I need to go to settings, displays and drag the white bar to the correct monitor.

First it will look like this:

After it will be like this:

Hope this helps.
