Is there a way to place the Dock on the bottom of a secondary monitor?

I use my iMac as primary monitor and a secondary display on the right. Is there a way to place the dock on the bottom of the secondary monitor(in a way that the display arrangment actually match the monitor position on my desk)?
I want something like this, with the red marker as the dock(the display arrangment match how the monitors are in my desk):
The solution I'm working with is:
I could turn the monitor attached to the iMac as primary(and set the dock there), but I got some problems with programs opening in wrong positions all the time and some issues with full screen programs as well(also I think the iMac didn't handle well setting the primary display in another monitor).
If there isn't a way to do it in Mountain Lion, will Maverick do any better?

Don't know of a way to get the Dock on the top.
But, to keep it out of the way but available, in the Dock prefs pane in System Preferences you can set it to "automatically hide and show". Choosing that setting means the Dock will normally be hidden; to gain access to it, all you need do is brush the bottom of the screen (or the side you have Doc set to) with the cursor, and it will appear, staying visible only until you move the cursor away.
You can also use the keyboard combo Command-Option-D to invoke/revoke Dock Hiding, which in effect means you can use that keyboard command to toggle the Dock's visibility.

  • Is there a way to place a button on the front panel that when clicked gives a pop up dialog box with more info in it?

    Hi Everyone,
     The simulations that I am creating are very simple themselves but are intended for use in a classroom setting to help students learn more about the theory being demonstrated.  I am hoping to be able to place a "Help" or "more info" button on the front panel so that if a student wants more info about the theory they can click on it and a pop up appears with background info on it.  It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main front panel again.  Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Use an event structure on the main vi that when the button is clicked, launches a "Help" sub vi. Inside the sub vi (with the properties set to load front panel when called of course), use another event structure to wait for the button of the subVI to be clicked so you can return to the main VI. Do you need help with using event structures?

  • Is there a way to place the Dock on the top?

    Hi there,
    Back in the days of 10.4, "defaults write com.apple.Dock orientation top" (in Terminal) or Onyx for that matter, were able to place the Dock on the top.  Is there a way to accomplish this in Snow Leopard?  Because of my workstyle, the Dock gets in the way quite frequently.  Besides, I use 3rd party app launchers.
    Many thanks for your feedback and have a good one,
    Jacobo

  • Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

    Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
    Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
    If so, how can I do this?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • Is there a way to place markers in a multicam clip, and then have those same markers carry over when you select part of the clip for a project (or various projects)?

    Is there a way to place markers in a multicam clip, and then have those same markers carry over when you select part of the clip for a project (or various projects)?

    Thanks. Beforehand, I was double clicking on the multicam clip and forced to make a marker on either the Cam A or B. I realize now that I can do it in the Event Browser. THANK YOU.
    Considering I may create >20 markers per clips for around 10 different interviews, I wish there was a way to bring the Event Brower to the bottom half of the FCPX windows, to resemble the screen orientation when I'm working in an actual project (one could do this in iMovie), and this way the markers could be listed to the left without having all the other event clips around it. Is that clear? Is that possible?

  • Is there a way to place the column browser next to the sidebar vertically?

    I updated to the newest itunes and I am thoroughly frustrated trying to navigate it.  Is there any way to place the column browser next to the side bar?  Its really inefficient trying to scroll through it over the library.  Also I want my default interface to be as close to the previous version of itunes as possible (without the Song, Artist, Album, etc headings).  Basically I want the Songs head to be my default when I open itunes, but instead it always sends me to the thumbnails of artists.
    Sorry for the multipart thread, I'm just fedup trying to figure out all these issues myself.

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive.

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

  • Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • HT1040 Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time? For example I am going to make a few books and have them all shipped to me.  Do I have to order and pay shipping for each one individually?

    Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time?  for example I am making a few books and having them all shipped to me.  Do I have to order each one separately and pay shipping each time?

    You have to order each book separately, if the books are different. Only multiple copies of the same book can be ordered in the same order, see here

  • Is there a way to make Illustrator save in the background, like Photoshop?

    Out of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, Illustrator is definitely the one I have most problems working with, due to small UI differences and ways of handling things
    Like the fact that you can't drag next to a number to change it, like in Photoshop. Or the fact that I can't sync my settings (it only says "Signed in as:", and when I press Manage Account, I'm taken to my CC files in Safari).
    But most annoying is the fact that whenever I'll save a document in Illustrator, a dialogue box opens letting me know the progress of the saving. Not only does this make me unable to continue working on the document (if the file is large, it takes some time), the app icon starts jumping in the dock if I switch to another program before the box appears.
    So, is there any way to make it save in the background, like in Photoshop? I'm running OS X, with Illustrator version 17.1.0.

    This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
    I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.

  • Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Hi Emily ,
    You may face challenges doing this task in Acrobat .
    If you have created the PDF from word ,I would recommend doing the page numbering in Word, not Acrobat, since you have more flexibility with that program.
    Or the second option is ,if you know how to play around with java script.Here is the code for the same.
    Yeah, it's possible. Create a unique text field on each page with this code as the custom calculation code:
    event.value = romanize(event.target.page+1);
    Then place this function at the doc-level (I didn't write that one):
    function romanize(num) {
        if (!+num)
            return false;
        var digits = String(+num).split(""),
            key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
                   "","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
                   "","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
            roman = "",
            i = 3;
        while (i--)
            roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
        return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;

  • HT1414 I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. It will randomly open applications, send emails suddenly before I am finished writing them, and much more. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    Hi, jbgatch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Our iOS devices use a capacitive touch screen and with it being winter in most places, a buildup of static electricity can cause the touch screen to act erratic.  Start with closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device.  If using a screen protector, remove it and test without it installed.  Some cases that include a screen protector can cause this issue as well.  Try the remainder of the steps in the attached article below.  If the issue persists, a restore as new may been needed.  Make sure to backup your data prior to a restore.

  • Is there a way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my iphone has been connected to?   My Bluetooth car speaker phone was recently stolen from my car and appears to be on Craigslist.

    Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to?  I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist.  I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question.  Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?

    Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
    The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
    "Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
