While using a brand new MacBook Pro, with Touch Bar, somehow the Dock got locked. I didn't do anything that I know of. Nothing moves at all, in or out. I'm trying to remove and add items, apps, and nothing takes.

Try logging out and back in (or, if you're comfortable with the Terminal, try running killall Dock). That will cause the Dock to relaunch and may un-freeze it.

I ran that command and nothing changed. There was a flash, but nothing changed. – Disco Danny Dec 21 '16 at 19:20

I also tried deleting the prefs file and rebooting. – Disco Danny Dec 21 '16 at 19:21

Try unsettling contents-immutable. Run the following in Terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.dock contents-immutable && killall -HUP Dock

That is a duplicate of your answer on the other question - you should be marking this question as a dup not answering it. – mmmmmm Dec 24 '16 at 11:51

@Mark I didn't remember my answer from 1.5 years ago, thanks for finding it – grg Dec 24 '16 at 11:52

As so long ago that suggests there is another question as I saw it recently :( – mmmmmm Dec 24 '16 at 12:47

This command totally worked for me, and it "unlocked" the dock. There is no mention of the word "unlock" in the other question, so that's why I couldn't find it. If you could add "unlock" to the question then people (or dummies like myself!) would find that one. – Disco Danny Dec 25 '16 at 21:20

Give logging a shot and back in (or, in case you're alright with the Terminal, take a stab at running killall Dock). That will make the Dock relaunch and may un-solidify it.
