Dock shows on only one screen on OS X Mavericks

I understood that every display would behave independently on OS X Mavericks, and that it would get its own bar (top of the screen) and dock.

However, the dock shows only on the main screen, and not on the other screen, is it normal?

Solution 1:

If you're using a stacked display configuration, as in main monitor with the secondary above, then the dock does not appear on the second display. If it can or does, I'd like to know because this is how I run my setup.

If you have them oriented right to left, then the dock will appear. In my limited experience, only one image of the dock appears at a time on whichever monitor you activate it on. You have to play with it, as the cursor motion seems to need to be elongated or dramatic or whatever. Not a big thing, just different.

It's there by default, trust me. HTH.

Solution 2:

None of this works if you use a left or right positioned dock in Mavericks. The dock will ONLY migrate with a Bottom mounted dock and ONLY if the monitor positions are set side-by-side (corner or top/bottom mounted will not work, at least as of 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 versions of OS X). Apparently, people who prefer left/right positioned docks (to maximize vertical space without hiding since most monitors are now wider than tall) are now second class citizens. The now semi-opaque color is also much brighter for such left/right docks as well, which many seem to hate).

Solution 3:

The dock only shows on one display at a time. It is hidden on all other displays, but can be made visible just as you would any hidden dock. That is, moving your mouse cursor below the display you would like the dock to appear (or left/right depending on where your dock normally is). Then the dock will hide on it's current display and appear on that display.
