Mavericks - Dock not showing on all screens?

It works for me. Thank you!

Thank you Wessley. It worked.

I discovered that moving your mouse to the bottom of the screen that has the dock hidden and then moving the mouse down further consistently brings the Dock to that screen.

Not just placing the cursor all the way down and wait but placing it all the way down and then moving the mouse down further.

Not sure if I'm explaining myself correctly :-)

Cheers!

=================================

Miraculously, it started working on my device. Perhaps, I'm subconsciously paying more attention to my gestures when I try to summon my docks. I haven't tried it with my usual triple display setup yet.

For me, it works really well when secondary monitor is "on the side". As soon as the secondary monitor is "on top", it stops working.

All these posts relate to my experience but there's one more thing. When I came back to my Mac this morning the dock had jumped from the right screen to the left screen.

To get it back to the right display, I went to Sys Prefs Display and it showed the white Menu bar on the right display. That had indicated the position of the dock but this morning the Menu bar was on the right display while the dock was on thel left.

Switching the Menu bar to the left display and then back to the right display then had the dock appearing on the right.

I have this issue as well as a few more.

I have a mid-2010 15" MBP with one monitors; the dock only shows on what was designated as the main monitor under OS X 10.8, the center one.

Even withou thte external monitor, multiple desktops don't work they way they should--at least I believe. Command+tab takes me to the window of the active but not the active app itself. I can get Command+tab to work as it used to if I have everything jammed into one desktop but that defeats the point of having multiple ones, no?

The dock does not appear on my laptop when my EM is plugged in. And the pinning options are off. The Mac will ask me when I want to tie something to an individual desktop, the numbers are way off. See here.

At least I'm not alone, I guess. Serves me right for using an early version fo the new OS.

Yes, but the dock doesn't appear on both when you do that. Is that by design? I don't see why you can't see the dock on multiple screens. #fail

Here you go more info including a real time "fix"

The Dock only appears on one Maverics display usually indicated by the location of the Menu Bar in sys prefs displays.

And it jumps around without any pref change on my part.

When I came back to my Mac this morning the dock had jumped from the right screen to the left screen.

To get it back to the right display, I went to Sys Prefs Display and it showed the white Menu bar on the right display. That had indicated the position of the dock but this morning the Menu bar was on the right display while the dock was on thel left.

Switching the Menu bar to the left display and then back to the right display then had the dock appearing on the right.

So, what's better is to have an option to show Dock on both displays.

I'm about to try turning off displays have separate spaces.

Just discovered one more effect. If I mouse down vigorsly on the left display the doc will jump over there.

but mousing down vigoursly on the right display won't bring it back.

OMT. When I installed Maverics it had reversed the position of my displays meaning that pre Maverick right dispay was logically right in the Sys Pref Displays but after Mavericks. Right Display appeared logically left.

The left display was the original Mavericks boot display. It's an older monitor and the covertors would prevent me from plugging this into the other display port on my early 2008 Mac Pro.

And this is a bit like that. Catch this. If I click on the menu bar left right left and then go to the left display and vigorously mouse down the dock appears .

Then menu bar click right left right and vigorously mouse down on tthe right the doc appears.

I'm always very puzzled at User Interface QA. Sometimes it seems Developers don't actually use the thing they develop. Fundamentally, it's testing for success which is a silly and immature thing to do. You need to test not for success; you need to test not to fail.

But you know on the whole Marericks is pretty cool.

Yes!

That did the trick here. Since then it always appears immediately. Thanks.

Kinda works for me. Inconsistent though. And worse sometimes when I mouse down to the bottom of one display the cursor appears on the bottom of the other display. Seems that clicking back and forth between the menu bars increases the likelyhood that the mouse down wait mouse down more gets the dock to that display.

Glad I get to watch TV and play unexpected video games for a living ...

It's definitely a "bug". I've tried all the "workarounds" proposed and does not work.

Hope Apple sovles this soon.

Also having problems with my iTunes, with Mavericks it turned terribly slow. Anyone having the same problem?

Found this article.

Hope it helps. It helped me, but still not comfotable with the workaround.

That article doesn't have anything that hasn't been discussed here. And it doesn't work consistently.

This is probably why Steve Jobs, Rest His Soul, forbid a second menu bar.

How I miss Steve Jobs!!! 😠
