Place dock on bottom of 2nd screen?

I have 2 monitors, the only way I can find to get the dock off of the main screen (menu bar screen) is to change it's position to a side. I would like the dock on the 2nd screen (without menu bar) but still on the bottom. I was toying with the dock's plist a bit, seems like there should be an option like the side pinning that lets you offset it to a specific screen, or atleast by a certain amount (e.g. I could pin it left on the bottom, then offset it right by the width of the screen to push it to the 2nd screen...)

ima747,
You can move the menu bar and dock to either screen but they stay together. In System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab. You can drag that little white bar, in the menu bar position, to to either screen. But again, the dock goes with the menu bar.

  • Dock keeps moving to 2nd screen randomly

    I have a secondary screen on my iMac. Since updating to Mavericks, the dock, at random times, switches to my second screen I have to then go in to System Preferences > Dock > Change Position on screen to left then back to bottom so it goes back to my main screen. Anyone else have this problem? Or better yet, a fix? Thanks!

    The Dock is now on all displays in Mavericks. What you have to do is go down to where the Dock should be and try to push your cursor down again. The Dock will appear. Then, if you want to use the Dock on the other display, you will have to repeat the process there.

  • Can the Dock in Yosemite be made transparent? I would also like Safari to paint to the bottom of the screen with the dock icons floating over the window.

  • Having trouble with macbook pro dock at the bottom of the screen

    I have a 13'' macbook pro, and i now have 2 different docks at the bottom of my screen. One is functional and the other one is not. How to i get rid of one of the docks?

    Please post the age of your MBP, IE what year is was made, IE what year Model is it. and also as above a image/picture of the screen (a Screen Shot may not do it if the second Dock is some type of Ghost entry).
    Other then that you have some type of software corruption or hardware failure going on. There should never be a second Dock at the bottom of the screen. So there is No easy fix for this problem. It may be hardware and if so that hardware would need to be replaced. Or is could be software corruption and in that case a Wipe of the drive and reinstall may be needed.

  • 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.

  • 10.9.3 on iMac 27", dock displays near middle of screen, desktop picture isn't covering whole desktop. Anyone else having this annoying glitch?

    Hello Everyone.
    I upgraded an iMac 27" (3.4 Ghz, Intel Core i7, 3TB fusion) from Mac OS X 10.8.6., to Mac OS X 10.9.3 a few days back.
    Ever since then, the 2nd user to login on a given day, gets the dock displayed near the middle of the screen. It still interacts OK (e.g. you can launch applications from there), but it is not in it's correct location. The desktop picture (in this case, a shade of solid dark grey), only covers the smaller desktop area (up to where the Dock is). The remaining area of the screen automatically gets a 'light grey' background colour.
    So person A logs in, no problem. But when person B comes along (with perosn A still logged in), the user logins, and they get this 'chopped of' version of the screen, with the dock mid-screen. (See screenshot attached).
    The users can still click on any dock icons, and the applications will open up. But the dock won't return to it's original home, and refuses to 'jump' back to their proper home (at the bottom of the screen).
    I've tried using CSCREEN to change the resolution at startup, via a terminal command and Automator, but that only works on some occasions. Others (like the attached screenshot) boot with the two-colour background, and 'confused' dock. A manual screen resolution change in the Settings area (down and then back up again), resolves the issue for that boot.
    I've tried stripping back all non-essential plug-ins, tried removing a variety of start-up items, add-ons etc. I've tried creating a 'test' account, and the same issues appear to this account too.
    Is it just me, or are others having problems with a misbehaving dock / screen resolution, in Mac OS X 10.9.3 / on an iMac 27"?
    Thank you!
    D.

    Hi folks.
    I found a solution...Looks like the Dock is the culprit it's self. So, I made an automator app that I fire up automatically at login time. The automator app runs a shell script command:
       killall Dock
    (make sure you have a capital D on Dock)
    The Dock gets closed off, and it then re-opens in the correct spot (bottom of the screen -- not the middle of the screen). Hope this helps someone else!
    Enjoy.

  • Redock the log/message window in it's orginial place at the bottom?

    How do I re-dock the log/message window in it's orginal place at the bottom? When ever I try re-docking it goes to the left side of the screen. I can drag and float the window back done to the bottom but I would prefer for it to go back to it's orginal position. I've located the windowinglayout.xml file but not really sure what I should change.
    JDeveloper: 10.1.3.3
    Thanks

    Ok if I'm following you correctly I dragged the undocked Message-log window down to the bottom of the code editor. The dragged window is violet/purple color with the following verbiage "Use Ctrl key to prevent docking Use Esc key to cancel ". I let go of the window and it is now floating there. I want it to dock instead of float at this location. What exactly is the drop indicator?
    Thanks,
    Russ

  • Ho can I use left / right dock position when using two screens?

    OSX 10.9 makes a big thing about having the Dock on the active screen.  This certainly works when the Dock is at the botom of the screen, although it does seem sluggish at times before it appears.  I have tended to have my Dock on the left of the screen as I was getting annoyed at losing the bottom part of the screen on my MBP 13". 
    Mavericks doesnt seem to like this and regardless on how I configure the second screen I can't get the Dock to jump away from the MBP screen, apart from closing the lid on my laptop.  Still happening when I put the two screens vertically rather than horizontally (so that the left side of the screen is not a transition zone between the two).
    This is quite frustrating.  I have tried using Dock at bottom again and am just going to struggle with that having not used it for many years now.
    I wonder whether they have just assumed that most people have the Dock at the bottom and functionality has been built around that.
    Any ideas out there?  Apple, any comments?

    Hello again Kirby, I was able to find a workaround that prevents colors from looking overly vibrant on the external display. It seems the "Swap Displays" option under Aperture's monitor configuration drop-down is the culprit. When this is disabled, colors on both monitors match in vibrancy (as much as one can expect given how different the two screens are). But as soon as you enable "Swap Displays", colors on the external display become twice as vibrant. So then the question becomes, how does one show the thumbnail viewer on the laptop screen while viewing the fullscreen image on the external display?
    The workaround is along the lines of what you posted. In dual-monitor mode, Aperture places the thumbnail viewer by default onto whichever screen holds the system menubar. So by placing the system menubar on the laptop screen, I'm able to work in fullscreen mode in the configuration I want without having to activate "Swap Displays", thereby avoiding the boosted colors bug.
    I'll be sending the issue to Apple Feedback now that I have a better understanding on what exactly causes the issue and how to replicate it. Thanks again Kirby for your assistance.

  • How do I get the tab bar at the bottom of the screen (right above the task bar) WITHOUT Tab Mix Plus?

    ''locking - please stick with your original thread about this problem - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934590''
    I like having the tab bar at the bottom of the screen; I use the task bar AT THE BOTTOM to switch between programs, so I want the the tab bar AT THE BOTTOM to switch between web pages. The only way I've found to get the tab bar at the bottom of the screen is the extension Tab Mix Plus. I used it for a long time, and it worked great.
    Unfortunately, when I recently updated to Firefox 14.0.1, I encountered an error: I could no longer middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab (which I do ALL the time). After some troubleshooting, I found that it was being caused by some incompatibility between Firefox 14.0.1 and Tab Mix Plus; upon removing Tab Mix Plus, my middle-clicking was back to normal.
    But without Tab Mix Plus, I'm back to having the tab bar at the top of the screen. I've searched and searched, and I can't find anything besides Tab Mix Plus that will let me put the tab bar at the bottom of the screen. I've found tons of stuff about the option "tabs on top", but that has to do with putting the tab bar above/below the navigation bar--it's still at the top of the SCREEN either way.
    What can I do?

    Reset the pref <b>layout.scrollbar.side</b> to '0' or set to '2' to place the scroll bar at the default right side.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How to disable menu bar and dock when playing a full screen game? Like sims 4

    i play sims 4 on my MacBook pro and if I go to close to the bottom of the screen or the top the menu bar or dock pops up I was wondering if there is A program or a setting I can use to disable that while in something full screen or gaming

    The game itself should already have the option for full screen. But you can go to system preferences dock and check the hid dock option. Then you would have to go to the very edge of the screen to get the dock to reappear.

  • Images at the bottom of the screen are cut off in HDR Pro

    I'm running a Mac and have recently installed CS5.  When I open files to do an HDR, the photos used in the HDR are cut off at the bottom of the screen.  In other words, what I mean is, they should be able to be selected with the check box is being included or not.  Also, the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons are cut off.  I thought that perhaps it was the screen resolution or perhaps the dockeed icons below.  Yet, I'm using the highest screen resolution and that's not a factor. I've hidden the dock,moved it...no difference. I've tried resizing the HDR window but it only resizes horizontally - not vertically.
    This is frustrating.  I'd like to be able to see the entire images being used in the HDR pro and decide whether to include them (or not) by the check boxes; especially since this is how it's supposed to work.  Any ideas?

    Hi Charles,
         Until just now...it didn't work.  Isn't that how it is...ya ask for an answer for something that's broke...then it works.
    When it wasn't working...the Green maximize button didn't do much except allow me to pull the window down further.  Once I would try to resize the window from the resize section at the bottom right, the window would resize to full size...not much good.
    Although...for whatever reason, it seems to be working now.  Will it work tomorrow?  beats me.
    Thanks for yoru help.

  • FF4.0 Windows XPv3 drag tab to 2nd screen, drag bar off screen at top, close other browser window, shuts down both browser instances. BTW, look at how SAFARI does the drag tab to other screen, that is how!

    FF4, drag 2nd tab to new window.
    2. top dragbar is off screen at top. I unmaximize the original screen, now that one also pushes the drag bar to the top off the screen. I resize the bottom of the screen and I can see a sliver of the top dragbar. If I close one browser window, both shut down. Auch!
    Please take a look at how safari renders a second browser window when you drag one tab to the other window. Cool!

    Album overview
    A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
    You can create photo albums to:
    Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
    Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
    Gather a decade of anniversary photos
    iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
    Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
    Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
    Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
    All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
    Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
    You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
    After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
    In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
    To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
    To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
    Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
    Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

    how do I get the four items from the bottom of my screen, safari,keypad,music, and mail to return?

    Tap and hold any app's icon until all of the app icons start jiggling. Then tap & hold the apps' icons that you want on the Dock/Launch bar and drag them onto the bar.
