Canceling Cinema Display Firmware Update

I accidentally selected to update the Cinema Display iSight from the Software Update list but I do not own a Cinema Display. Now every time I start my computer up I get a prompt asking me to connect to a Cinema Display so I can update it's firmware. How do I get this to stop trying to complete the update?

Thunderbolt display firmware update 1.2 won't install correctly

On Friday 11/13/2014, I received a Software Update notification in OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 that there was an update available for "Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2". I tried installing this several times, but every time it tells me "The Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update could not complete." Now I have 6 failed install attempts showing in Software Update, plus still the still to be installed update itself.
If I click on the "More info" button in the failed installation message, it takes me to this page: About Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2 - Apple Support
On that page it suggest to check the "About this Mac" info for Thunderbolt Display, where "The Firmware Version should be 26.2 and the Port Micro Firmware Version should be 2.0.7 after the update."
My Thunderbolt Display is currently on Firmware Version 22.2, with Port Micro Firmware Version 0.0.21. Why won't this update install?

I had a similar problem: The "Thunderbolt display firmware update 1.2" kept reappearing in AppStore, even though the uppdate seemed successful.
According to Apple[1] the update was successful when the the Firmware Version is 26.2 and the Port Micro Firmware Version is 2.0.7 (visible in About this Mac -> SystemReport).
Above versions were correct in my case, but the update still kept appering in AppStore... (probably I did download and install the update manually after the first failure, but I don't remember ...)
To get rid of the annoying update in AppStore I used the softwareupdate command[2] on the commandline:
softwareupdate --ignore TBdisplayFWUpdate1.2

Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and two thunderbolt displays. I recently started getting notified there was an update available, Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2 and App Store kept prompting me to download and install.
I tried multiple times, and each time it states it failed to update. According to this KB article About Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2 - Apple Support it states Firmware Version should be 26.2 and the Port Micro Firmware Version should be 2.0.7 after the update.
I checked and my Mac is in fact reporting the updates were applied. See information from the system report below. I am prompted every day, multiple times to download and apply this update again, over and over. I don't understand why.
I contacted Apple Support and the rep I worked with was pretty much useless. In fact, I am fairly sure I know more and *NIX than he does. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion on howe to remedy this?

Strange. The downloaded dmg file package said that the upgrade was successfully installed, but the App Store still says I need to update. I haven't tried it with my MBP cover open but I'll give that a shot.
Thanks,

Thunderbolt Display firmware update 1.2 failed

Thunderbolt Display firmware update 1.2 fails to complete. I have made four attempts to load this software update. The odd thing is that the software list shows that the update has been installed. But every time I check for updates, Thunderbolt Display firmware 1.2 is listed as a needed update.

Apple Cinema Display speakers no longer work after Mavericks update

I have a MacBook Pro 15", purchased in late-2010 connected to a 27" Apple Cinema Display also purchased at the same time. The display connects to the MacBook Pro via USB and mini displayport. The built-in 2.1 speakers on the display were working fine until the upgrade to Mavericks. When I go into the speakers settings, I can change it to internal speakers and the sound comes from the MacBook Pro, but when I choose the cinema display, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi lelandgray,
If you are having audio issues with your Cinema Display after upgrading your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, you may want to make sure that the most recent Cinema Display Firmware Update has been installed. You may find the following article helpful:

27'' LED Cinema Display flickers when powering MBP and dimmed down

The 27'' LED Cinema Display flickers (backlight flickers) in the following situation:
* The display powers an MacBook Pro (e.g. later 2010).
* The MacBook Pro is fully charged (i.e. power is not used for charging).
* The MacBook Pro performs some GPU intense task (moving the mouse over the dock with magnification enabled).
* The brightness of the display is dimmed down to one of the lower settings (one or two "bars").
The problem disappears if the MBP is powered by an independent charger.
We reproduced the problem with two different MBPs (13'' and 15'') and two different displays.

Same problem here! I bought two brand new 27 inch Cinema Displays, one for work and one for my home office. Both showed the problem. I returned both, go replacement displays and both show the same problem. I am using them with a 13 inch MacBook Air late 2010. I use them with the MacBook's display lid closed and powered by the Cinema Display. The problem only occurs when the display brightness is at 1 to 5 bars. From 6 bars on everything is fine. I also noticed that the flickering is stronger when I USE the computer, i.e. dragging around windows, typing, etc. When I just look at the screen, the flickering occurs more sporadically. The flickering looks like a short switching off of the display light (a few milliseconds).
I just tried the hint suggested in this thread and indeed, when I open the lid and have the MacBook running on batteries (not powered by the Cinema Display), the flickering is gone! So it really seems to be dependent on that.
Please fix it, Apple! This is not acceptable for a premium-quality display! We have already done a good job narrowing down the conditions under which the problem occurs. You should easily be able to reproduce the issue like this:
- use a MacBook (e.g. new MacBook Air) and turn it on
- plug in all three cables provided by the 27" Cinema Display (power, DisplayPort, USB)
- close the lid of the MacBook and re-awake it with an external keyboard so the Cinema Display will be the only display in use
- wait a few hours for the Cinema Display to become warm (not sure if this is a necessary condition but it could be)
- then, use the computer under low-light conditions and ensure the brightness is at 5 bars or less
--> You will see the problem.
By the way, the recent Cinema Display firmware update (to address the audio issue) did NOT solve this problem.

27" Cinema Display - No Brightness Control

I have read over all the threads here and the internet. I have an iMac (black back) that my 27" Cinema display is connected to. USB and Displayport are both connected. Everything appears just fine. However, I cannot adjust the brightness on the Cinema display. I have tried everything. I even hooked it up to my Macbook Pro early 2011 model. Still the same issue. There is no brightness slider. The slider only appears for the native display only. Never the Cinema display. What am I missing?
Running Lion on both machines.

USB cable is connected. It's not an SMC issue. I have tried this on 3 iMac's and 1 2011 MacBook Pro. Same issue on all machines. Cinema display does NOT have brightness control. Only the native screen.
Tried on OSX Lion 10.7 and Snow Leopard 10.6. Tried loading the 1.0 Cinema display firmware update. Won't install on Lion and states it's not require on Snow Leopard 10.6.
Any other suggestions out there? The display is full brightness it seems and it's annoying as crap.

Thunderbolt Display USB ports not working after 1.2 firmware update

I installed the Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2 a few days back, and following that update, the USB ports on my display have stopped working completely. The display's Thunderbolt port and Ethernet jacks are working fine, as is the Thunderbolt/power cable connection to my MacBook Air (mid-2011, 11 inch, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1). Any ideas on a fix?

Do an SMC and PRAM reset.

Can't stop Thunderbolt display from flickering white lines after firmware update (Yosemite)

I am having serious issues after the Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2. Running Yosemite on MacBook Pro and I am now getting white lines that gradiate from the bottom to the top of my screen across multiple browsers, apps and even the finder window anytime I move my mouse. I cannot take a screenshot (it stops when I try) but I posted a video here:
http://youtu.be/3zOKL1JFp5M
It is impossible to work this way and after 20 minutes of watching my screen constantly refresh anytime I move my mouse I am feeling nauseous.
Is there anyway to UNINSTALL this firmware update? I was not having this kind of problem before. Every once in awhile I was finding my Thunderbolt display would not wake up after sleep and I thought the firmware update would fix that, not cause more, crazier problems. It is causing this gradiating line problem on my Thunderbolt display AND my MacBook Pro screen, which is even more bizarre.

I updated and no issues with my 2012 Mini so may be computer related. I believe once a firmware has been "burned" into the chip it cannot be redone.

Installation of 27" cinema display with macbook pro silver key and bootcamp

For everyone out there who may be interested in using the new 27" cinema display with an older Macbook Pro Intel with silver keys and bootcamp.
What is needed:
1. Apple 27" cinema display.
2. Macbook pro Intel silver key model
3. Altona Dual Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter (Model AT-DP400)
4. Bootcamp 3.1 drivers from Mac OSX Snow Leopard V10.6.3(retail)
Procedure:
1. Update your display software on the Mac OS side. Apple has posted an update on their software downloads page, "LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0" After doing so, make sure that the 27" CinDisp is operating correctly and you can change the brightness from the system settings.
2. On the Windows side, install the bootcamp 3.1 drivers. These are on the Snow Leopard distribution CD. However, there is a bug in the .msi installer that causes the installation to go into an endless loop. This must be resolved during the installation of the drivers. The following article discribes how to do this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2305631&tstart=0
3. After you have successfully installed the bootcamp 3.1 drivers, then install Apple's bootcamp update: "Apple Magic Trackpad and 27-inch LED Cinema Display Update for Windows 32 bit".
Good luck, it works!

I have the same MBP and recently bought a 23" cinema display on Craigslist for $140. It works great. I had a display port to DVI adapter and it worked fine. Built a stand to hold the laptop vertically so it's out of the way. Don't know about older displays but anything with DVI should work fine.
The screen size and resolution are great for photo editing. I now have the best of both worlds, a display that rivals my wife's iMac and portability.

27" display and late '09 MBP 13" - Display software update **doesn't work**

Hello All,
My shiny new 27" LED cinema display arrived today. The display is stunning, but when I downloaded and installed the "LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0" (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1107) on my mid-'09 MBP 13" it doesn't work!!
The installation completes successfully, but after rebooting and checking system preferences, I don't get the brightness slider etc nor the option to use the built-in speakers in the display.
Please advise if you have any advice or thoughts on the matter.
Many thanks,
Rob

Apple got hold of me and we went through some trouble-shooting steps. Turns out that the USB connector, although fully plugged in, was somehow not seated correctly and was thus not recognizing the display and speaker etc.
Happily resolved!

Why does Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 keep appearing

I have tried to install it many different ways, external monitor disconnected, in safe mode, etc. Seems to install, but then App Store says it still needs to be done.

Thunderbolt display firmware 1.2 install error not "connected directly"

I have tried with 2 macs today to install the Thunderbolt display firmware update 1.2. My firmware is old (22.2) and I have had display problems since Mavericks (now with Yosemite too), so I would really like to try the new firmware.
With the TB Display directly connected with a single TB cable to a mac mini or alternately directly connected to my MB Pro I get the error:
I have tried to use both software update and a downloaded version of the Firmware update. Both have the same error message issue on both of my computers. Also, software update keeps showing the firmware as a recommended update after the failed installations.
Does anyone know a fix to this?
Thanks

Solution:
As I proofread my post, I realized I did not note the part about the "built-in" cable and only focused on the "connected directly" part of the error.
Using the built-in Thunderbolt cable I was able to successfully install the firmware.
If anyone else makes this dumb mistake, maybe this post will help you not feel too bad!

27 inch thunderbolt display blacks out after Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2

Bought 2 new 27 inch TB displays for two different machines and after a couple of days the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 appears on my Mac Pro with one of the displays installed. So I install the firmware update. Now my display blacks out periodically and I keep getting Graphic Display Errors with a request to sent the errors to Apple. Running a 32 GB Mac Pro (late 2013 circular style) I have three monitors connected (two 20 inch cinema displays and the new 27 inch display). This machine is supposed to be able to handle three 4k monitors or 6 standard TB displays. I've seen the posts about the blacking out with this monitor but I didn't have any problems before the firmware update and now I've got them pretty regularly. I had the blacking out problem on an earlier monitor and took one of the monitors back and Apple gave me another one and this is the replacement. Same problem, but this one only started after the update. I'm hoping someone from Apple reads these messages and can let me know what's up.
BTW, I also have an older 27 inch Apple monitor that ran perfectly on this machine so I'm disappointed that I spent all this money and now get the blacking out issue.
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Processor 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory 32 BG
Graphics AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB

I have my Thunderbolt display connected to my MacBook Pro and have been experiencing the same issue, getting worse over time. The folks at my local Apple store did not know what to do about it. So, I looked around and tried different thing.
The one thing that seems to be working is to System Preferences > Build-in Display > uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness.”
I hope this helps.

24-inch Cinema Display and Mid-2010 Macbook Pro - Cinema Display still flickers after updates

I currently have a 15-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010) hooked up to my 24-inch Cinema Display. I have updated all the firmware for both the Cinema Display and the Macbook Pro but still get intermittent flickering. Moreover, I have cleared the PRAM and VRAM. I have done ever possible update I can find, the system is fully functioning. Help?

I am having this exact same problem. 2010 iMac with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB. I have it hooked to a 30" display through a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter. The 30" is fine, but I have graphical corruption constantly on the main iMac screen.
This all started as soon as I updated to Yosemite a couple days ago.
