Added image of Dock popping up.

| Nov 24, 2013 at 22:02 | comment | added | Brent Faust | Ah, that is strange. It works for my 3 and 4 monitor setups. Try unchecking that checkbox. Then when you move the cursor to the bottom of the screen, the Dock is moved to the bottom of that screen (where it remains). | |
| Nov 24, 2013 at 20:46 | comment | added | Elliott | Yes I am using Mavericks. The problem is, the Dock occasionally moves itself to the non-primary display, and I can't move it back. I know about that checkbox, I've tried both with and without autohide. You said you can move the dock between displays by moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen; that doesn't work for me. | |
| Nov 24, 2013 at 17:32 | comment | added | Brent Faust | Are you using Mavericks (OS X 10.9)? Under System>Preferences>Dock, there is an Automatically hide and show the Dock checkbox. | |
| Nov 24, 2013 at 3:30 | comment | added | Elliott | I have the same problem. You're right that the task switcher follows the Dock, but I can't ever make the Dock appear on the secondary display; I move my mouse to the bottom and nothing happens. | |
