Dock sometimes jump from one screen to 2nd other.

When I am using a second monitor (21" Dell) with my 15" MacBook Pro, why does the dock sometimes (often) jump from the bigger monitor back to the MacBook?  This happens even when System Preferences/Displays/Arrangement indicates that the dock is still on the Dell monitor, but it is not.  In the System Preferences/Displays/Arrangement, I have to 'move' the dock to the MacBook screen and then back to the Dell.  Movement of the dock happens with other monitors too (e.g., Viewsonic).  Thanks for any advice on solving this.

I get this behaviour for what ever screen the cursor is on.
But generally only when the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen.

  • My ipod jumps from one screen / app to another on it's own. Sometimes I can't unlock or even shut off. I've tried the reset, I've tried back up, even tried restoring to factory settings and is still having problem. Any ideas of what I can do.

    When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have 2 screen and the dock is changing from one screen to another , can I stop it (Mac OS 10.9.1)

    Hello , I have 2 screens , and the dock is moving from one to the other screen at any time .
    I would like to "paste" it on one screen

    Thanks for your help

    Hello there, BHDock.
    The following Knowledge Base article explains how the Dock works in Mavericks:
    OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
    Working with the Dock
    When the Dock is configured to appear at the bottom of your screen, it's available on whichever screen you’re working on. Just move your pointer to the bottom of either display. When the Dock is configured for the left or right position, it appears on the leftmost or rightmost display edge.
    The Dock settings are located in System Preferences.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Move Window from One Screen to the Other

    With multi-monitor setup, is there a shortcut key to move a window from one screen to another? This is about the only thing I miss from my old days of using a PC.
    Way too lazy to drag
    Thanks!

    no, there isn't and I don't believe you can possibly make one. I don't know how this works in windows but os x would need to know where exactly to put a window on the other screen. since screens often have different sizes that would be impossible. besides, with extended desktop there is no actual separation between the screens and a window can be partly on one screen and partly on the other.
    I'm afraid you are just going to have to drag.

  • How can i move icons from one screen to the other?

    How do i move icons from one page to another?

    Tap and hold any icon for a couple of seconds. They'll all start to wobble. Tap and drag the one you want to move to the side of the screen and the next screen will appear; drop the icon on whatever screen you want it on.
    You can also do it quicker in iTunes - connect the phone and click the Apps tab in the main window. You'll see a picture of your phone with the apps laid out. Just click and drag

  • Prevent the dock to move from one screen to another.

    I have two external monitors connected to my mac and every some time the dock moves to the bottom of screen one (where all my destop icoms are located) to monitor two (no icons). How I can fix this. I want my dock in the same place all the time.

    System Preferences, Mssion Control, uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces".

  • Screen on my i pad is jumping from one page to another

    for the past few days, the screen on my i pad is jumping from one page to another on its own. Also it flickers when not in use.The i pad was purchased in Bangalore ,India in May, 2013
    Please help me resolve this issue
    Thx

    No.  Photo stream only streams photos, not videos.  To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Moving app from one screen to another fails very often

    I'm using the feature to manually move apps from one screen to another on iPhones. It works very smooth without any problem on these devices.
    On my iPad 3 I've some trouble with that feature. 1 out of 20 tries works. It makes no difference if moved slow, fast or concentrated - it fails too often.
    Spoken with other people using iPad leads to the results the problem also exists on iPad 2. So what happens? You switch to edit mode by holding the "Home" button and wait until the apps are vibrating. Now you put a finger over an app, hold them and move them to the right or left display border. Instead of switching to the next screen the icon jumps back to it's original position. Different people tried it on my iPad and all of them failed in the given rate.
    Workaround is to use the shortcut bar on the bottom or to use iTunes from Mac or PC. I've also noticed that most of the time a "close" request of an application (by hitting the "-" sign on an app icon) failed if the app is on the border of the display. This happens randomly and you feel you missed the "-" sign so repeating the operation. But if you concentrate on it you will notice it doesn't respond properly.
    As a result my impression is the touchscreen functionality is not as good as on iPhone. Where I have no problem at all with both operations. As other people also suffer from this issues it must be related to the iPad screen.

    Yes by restoring the iPhone from the backup of the Pod.  The app has to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore.

  • My illustrator files keep on jumping from one monitor to another

    I have two Apple 30" Cinema displays, a 24" Cintiq and an overhead projector.
    My illustrator files keep on jumping from one of the Apple Displays either to the
    Cintiq or the projector even if they are off.
    Also illustrator files may open in any one of them.
    Any suggestions please.
    Thanks,
    Ieuan Rees

    The file should open on the screen with the menu bar, unless the file was opened before and then it will remember the window location.
    Try doing a window >> application frame, and see if that shoiuld force your windows to open in the application frame
