Blue Screen on MBA with Thunderbolt Display after wake-up
I'm running a MBA (summer 2012, OSX 10.8.3) with a Thunderbolt display.
Very often after wake-up, I have a blue screen on the built-in monitor while the external display shows the login-screen. The MBA is frozen and I have to enforce a restart.
Any ideas to resolve the problem much appreciated.
ARD works only across a network, not via Target Display Mode. Your MBA will need to be connected to and active on your local network to be able to take control of your MBA from your MBP. I'm not certain if you can take control of a Mac connected via Target Display Mode, though I do know that applications on the system keep running, so it may be possible.
Note, though, that you don't need ARD to accomplish this assuming it is possible. The screen sharing feature built into OS X allows you to control on Mac from another with no extra software required.
Regards.

GPU Panic with Thunderbolt Display after upgrading to 10.9.3
Hi everybody! I have a MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 and use it with a Thunderbolt Display 27". After upgrading to 10.9.3, a GPU Panic error started annoying me. All displays (thunderbolt and mac) go black and I have to hold down the power button to force the shutdown and then power on.
Sometimes, I connect the display and it works for some days. Sometimes, it crashes just when I connect the thunderbolt display. It's just not what we expect from such premium product.
I've read the posts similar to this, did a PRAM reset, etc, but none of this worked for me. Any ideas?
This is the last crash log I had today. Please anybody help me! Thanks.

New Mac Pro display issues with Thunderbolt display
When connected to a 27inch Thunderbolt display after a while I get vertical blue lines on the display. If I plug my Macbook Air into the screen, after a while the blue lines clear. How do I find out if it's the Mac Pro or the Display?
Thanks Turbostar, that's exactly right, it takes about 30 minutes having the Air plugged in and the stripes disappear.

No sound from Thunderbolt Display after update to OS X 10.9.3
So I updated to 10.9.3 this morning only to find there is no sound coming from my Thunderbolt Display after installation. Sound is now only audible from my MacBook Pro (late 2011). Also, see image below, there is no sign of any connected inputs other than my MBP now. I've shutdown and restarted a number of times, but still no audio from the display.
Really starting to wonder why it's worth spending so much on Apple products now...I sent my TB Display in for repair. They had it almost a week and didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead they took in my MacBook Pro and replaced the logic board (2nd time it had been replaced) and the Display seems to be working fine now.
...except that for using 3rd party video conf apps, those apps only pick up the MBP camera (even though i try to change settings in app), not the TBD camera... but FaceTime and Skype find the TBD camera.
Strange.

I completely agree with that sentiment. That's why we pay through the nose for their products, so it feels very bad when they don't just work. -
OS X 10.7.2.2 issues with Thunderbolt Display
Help! With Thunderbolt display, Mac-mini and OS X 10.7.2.2 I get a blank screen when mini reawakens from sleep. Moving the cursor around like a paint brush reveals a portion of the underlying log-in screen. Once I uncover my user icon and log-in, my desktop will appear and function normally!!!
IS this caused by (1) the Thunderbolt display, (2) the latest Lion update or a combination of both ? I experienced no problems with older display and Lion 10.7 !!
Any solutions/recommendations?Hello Drew,

Rescue & Recovery blue screen on T60 with XP and SSD
Hi everyone.
On my T60 (2008-VPT) with Windows XP SP3, I installed an SSD (Verbatim 240 GB). I've done a clone of the old HD on the new SSD and than I installed it on the T60.

IMac won't start with Thunderbolt Display connected after firmware update
After updating my thunderbolt display firmware to version 1.2 this morning via the App Store, my mid-2014 iMac won't start up with the external display connected. I can get the iMac to start up only by disconnecting the display's thunderbolt connector. After the iMac comes up, I can reconnect the display and everything appears to function normally. I've tried several restarts and the iMac won't start up with the display connected. Anyone else experience this?

2010 MBA incompatible with Thunderbolt display?
i have a macbook air with a minidisplay port. I now have a lovely black but inactive thunderbolt display. What have i missed? I was under the impression that the minidisplay port on the airbook could drive the thunderbolt screen.

So was I, but that impression turns out to be wrong, the computer driving the display must be 'Thunderbolt' enabled, which the 2010 models are not. -
High CPU load after waking with Thunderbolt Display connected
I have a Mid-2013 MacBook Air 13" with Apple Thunderbolt Display connected. I use this setup mostly in a clamshell mode. Recently I've updated to OS X Mavericks. After that I've noticed that one of the cores is occupied by kernel_task to 100% after waking up from sleep. I've managed to isolate that to Apple Thunderbolt Display connected, without display there is a short CPU spike, but it comes down to normal levels in a couple of seconds.
I've tried resetting SMC to no success. MacBook doesn't enter Safe Mode either (progress bar goes up to approx. 30% and it goes to reboot). Probably it's because of the Thunderbolt Display, I'm not really sure.
That's not really a problem as this load doen't seem to impact CPU temp (fans are not spinning faster) and more of a activity monitor display glitch (?).
Does anyone here encounter this?Hey Max,
I also have one CPU core on my Air'13 to run 100% after a wake-up for about 1 minute (kernel_task).
It is annoyingly like this after I upgraded to Maverics. Notice, I don't have a Thunderbolt monitor, just a laptop, no periphery. -
Blue screen of death twice 2 days after receiving T510
Hi all,
I encounter the dreaded Blue Screen of Death 2 times in two days, with a brand new T510.
The first one came as such a surprise in a meeting that I couldn't catch what it was. The 2nd time happend just now and I decided to post and ask for advice. The error for this time is "bad_pool_header" - not sure what that is.
The 2nd time is not necessarily the same as the 1st time. It seems that the display driver is not very stable. There were various times that, when I open the lid while connecting to an external monitor, the whole image on the external screen flickered vigorously. Windows 7 complain the display driver had crashed and windows has recovered from the error. I suspect the first time Blue Screen may be related to this too.
Anyway, although I like this system a lot, two blue screens in two days after receiving the new machine on Wednesday is pretty frustrating to me. Would Lenovo please iron out some stable and high quality drivers with the Windows 7 "Enhanced" Experience? May be with the parts manufacturer please?
Thanks all!
CampionI would start with installing the latest bios and video driver updates off of lenovo's site. (do not use the TVSU since that tends to be slower at propigating new updates). It is new hardware and there is the possiblity of drivers and/or bios being updated since the drive images Lenovo installs from where created.
Of course random BSOD's could also be bad ram. I would try running MemTest86 on the system and making sure it can successfully pass the tests, and make sure you call customer service and report this so that they know of the issue moving forward.
Best of luck!

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on T61/T61p
Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD. This information can help address blue screen errors specifically related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1. Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2. Click System and Maintenance.
3. Click System.
4. Click Device Manager.
5. Expand the Storage controllers category.
6. Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7. Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad T61/T61p (14.1 inch widescreen with IEEE 1394 model) - BIOS version 1.22 (7LET52WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorseThanks Tim,
I do have my T61p fully up-to-date to the latest drivers and updates (via System Update and the Drivers&Software web page when the former is not that up-to-date).
At the moment the most recurrent problem is this:
http://forum.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&thread.id=55
which has been longly speculated here:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=47755
My other angst is the boot-time chkdsk hang-up problem:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=52765&highlight=chkdsk
I just wonder if this purely a Vista issue when using NV cache, the disk spinning down at almost exactly 1 hour from the beginning of the chdsk operation seems too much of a coincidence.
This is my T61p configuration:
Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz
BIOS version 1.26-1.06
4GB RAM 2 SO-DIMMs
nVidia Quadro FX 570m with 512MB VRAM
WUXGA LCD
Seagate 7200.2 160 GB
4GB RAM 2 SO-DIMMs
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (waiting to move to 64bit)
thanks,

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorseDear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here. All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

Macbook air with thunderbolt display - windows stuck on air's display
I have a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt display. When I use the Air without the Display attached, the windows gather on the Air's display. When I return to the setup with the Display included, some of the windows remain on the Air's screen making it impossible to get to them without opening the Air and manually moving the windows around. The Air is tucked under the display, and opening it to move the windows back to the Thunderbolt Display is a PITA.
Despite the lid being closed (and never having been opened after waking from sleep/connecting the Thunderbolt Display) the Displays control panel still sees that display as active.
I cannot find a way of moving the windows back to the main screen unless I'm lucky enough to grab the right spot to move the windows to the larger display.
1. How do I get the Mac to recognize the Air's lid is closed, and to disable the built in display?
2. If that's not possible, how do I use Mission Control (where I can see the windows) to get the windows moved to the right screen?I have no idea where that dirt came from. I really have no clue what it is, and it won't go away by blowing in it. I will contact local authorized store (there is no Apple stores in Croatia) but I highly doubt they'll be able to do anything without taking the laptop apart. Although I highly doubt it could it be rust from cleaning my MBP? I always put a couple drops of water on cloth I clean my macbook casing with. I have no idea if I am going to be able to do anything at all because the gap is really small, pin couldn't get to that dirt. I don't know what that could be, I never eat or drink close to my mac. Just my luck. What's Q Tip? Never heard of it since I live in Croatia

IMac 27" with Thunderbolt Display connected, Boot Camp Problem
Hi everyone.
Let me start off by saying that I'm using a late 2012 iMac 27", 3.4 GHz i7, 680MX, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB Fusion, with a Thunderbolt Display connected.
I installed Windows 8 via Boot Camp, and it works just fine. Here comes my problem:
I have dual screens and I play Minecraft. Minecraft's full screen is basically crap, and therefore I disabled the iMac display. I used Windows-button+P to use only the secondary display. This turns the iMac display off entirely, and leaves the Thunderbolt Display on. Note: This is not possible in Mac OS X. Then I played a little Minecraft. When I was done, i wanted the main iMac display to come on again. I then used Windows-button+P again, to turn both displays on. Then bam, totally looked like the iMac display was broken. See the images below, to see how it looks:
1) http://cl.ly/image/1p2e3c1Z1z1C
2) http://cl.ly/image/2g0n1M1Y0t0g
3) http://cl.ly/image/2Q2P1c1J220d
4) http://cl.ly/image/113b3K2O1Z43
5) http://cl.ly/image/1q2v1s1n3w1f
This image-retention-like stuff stays there, even if I reboot into Mac OS X, and then it eventually disappears. I can reproduce this, by doing the same thing again, (windows-button+p) but only in Windows, because that you cannot turn of the main display in Mac OS X. Maybe this is the reason why you can't?
Anyone can tell me what I can do? I guess I could try reinstalling, but it seems more like a hardware issue, than a software issue.
Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance.
Another note: I'll try doing the opposite, and see if it happens on the Thunderbolt Display as well. (Windows-button+P, and then only using the main display)
//ifraaankOk, I am marking this as "answered", as I have solved it myself, while I still have no clue what lead to the problem in the first place.
I've been on the phone with Apple Care today, and they were as clueless as I was and had never heard of this before.
After we tried the usual stuff (unplugging all wires, PRAM Reset, SMC Reset), to no avail, I was told it could well be a hardware problem and that I should have the iMac examined at the Genius Bar, so an appointment was made.
I'll cancel that one though, as I was able to cure it by myself for now (and carrying around a 27" iMac in Munich's busy downtown pedestrian zone is not really fun).
This is what I did (and I'm so happy I tried):
In Display Settings, I switched the external display back to landscape mode and selected "mirror displays".
Then I rebooted, and voilà, the problem was gone (Apple logo on white background was showing).
I switched it back to 90 degrees rotation and no mirroring, and it's still all ok.
I booted Windows 7 in Bootcamp, then back to Snow Leopard, and it's all still fine.
I can still only wonder what messed this up in the first place, but for now I'm happy.
