Cannot wake up my thunderbolt display

More and more frequently I cannot seem to wake up my thunderbolt display (27")
It's even more frustrating as it also will not charge my MAC book pro

Im having a similar issue with the Thunderbolt display not charging my MacBook Pro 15" Retina. I swapped out the MagSafe adapter with a new one and it been working pretty good.  Good Luck.

  • Why is it that the 2010 macbooks cannot connect with the thunderbolt display even though they have a thunderbolt port?

    I am wondering why cant the 2010 macbooks access the thunderbolt capabilites on the new thunderbolt display? I think it is pointless and some what disrespectful that they force you to try to buy a new computer if you are interested in the display. The 2010s are still very good and relevant devices and apple prides its self on making devices that are usable for more than one year. In that case the older  comps will soon stop being able to be updated.

    The Thunderbolt specification and implementation was rolled out starting  with the Early 2011 models. For some reason, Apple decided to recycle the connector already being used for the Mini-DisplayPort.
    So no, you can't "access" TB capabilities in the older MBP cause the circuitry isn't there.

  • HT5219 Thunderbolt Display to Windows Laptops w/o Thunderbolt?

    Any new adapters or docking stations on the market?
    PC doesn't have Thunderbolt HW, so so looking for HDMI and VGA options.  All I've read is that they won't wake up the Thunderbolt display.
    Any suggestions for both interfaces?

    I haven't found any converter for HDMI to Mini DisplayPort that will work with a Thunderbolt Display and haven't found a VGA to Displayport converter at all, though there may be one out there somewhere.
    Regards.

  • Thunderbolt display-connected keyboard fails to wake MacBook Pro

    I'm having intermittent problems with my keyboard when I use my rMacBook Pro in clamshell mode attached to an Apple Thunderbolt Display. With increasing frequency, when I sleep the Mac, close it and attach it to the display, I cannot wake up the computer using the Apple keyboard that is attached (USB) to the display. Unplugging and repluggin the keyboard does nothing.
    I can wake up the computer with a Bluetooth keyboard & login (screensaver), and the Bluetooth keyboard continues to work fine. Nut the wired keyboard never works.
    However, if I simply restart the Mac, the display-connected keyboard always begins working again.
    I belive this rules out a hardware problem, but I'm open to suggestions. (It's happened repeatedly—maybe ten times over the last several months. But with increasing frequency.)
    I can post console logs if that would help.
    Any ideas?

    Clinton,
    Thanks for your interest in my question. I actually own a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, which works with other Retina Display Macbook Pro, but not mine anymore... That's why I suppose the problem comes from my laptop's thunderbolt ports.
    Any clue?
    Thanks very much in advance.

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • My macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display.

    my macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up afterwards. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display, because I noticed that the same problem arose when the display was attached.
    Now with the new board, it can't be the display's fault. I hope it is not macbook pro's main board fault. Maybe hasthe notebook board been damaged by the faulty display?
    To bring my MacBook Pro to service will slow down my work. This is why I am posting this message, in the hope to be able to run a diagnostic test myself.
    Thanks a lot, in advance.

    Hello Aminetti,
    It sounds like your computer goes to sleep, and will not wake up, so you must manually restart your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
    OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
    Reset SMC
    Reset NVRAM/PRAM
    Test with external devices disconnected
    Try Safe Mode
    Try another user account
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

    I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27''). 
    Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
    I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

    I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Thunderbolt display wakes up to horizontal shreds

    After a few days of my new Thunderbolt display has a problem  - running with my mid 2011 11" MacBook Air (Lion / 1.8GHz Core i7/ 256 GB) .
    When the screen wakes up, it momentarily (3 secs) displays the screen in thin horizontal shreds. As if I ran the image through a paper shredder. Then it resolves to the correct image. Standard hook up to MBA with built in cords.
    I've read about problems with flickering screen - anyone else know about this?

    See if there is a way to turn off CEC on the Philips through its menu system and see if that helps.

  • My Thunderbolt Display will not wake up from sleep!

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. When I hit the space bar to wake up my laptop, the Thunderboly Display stays black! Unplugging the display cable and plugging it back in solves the issue, but then it consolidates my open windows! REALLY ANNOYING!
    There's also been 2 or 3 times when that didn't work and I had to shut the computer down and disconnect the power from the ThunderBolt display... Any cure for this nonsence?     

    I only had that problem once - and unplugging the Display from power and lugging it back in solved the problem for good.
    Sine that's not working for you, you may be having a problem with the TB cable itself. If I were you, I would take the computer and Display to your local Apple Store/AASP and have them diagnose the problem. Again, I suspect that it's the TB cable, but I could be wrong...

  • 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.

    I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Thunderbolt Display, is there any way to power on the Macbook Air using an Apple USB keyboard plugged into the Thunderbolt display? I would like to be able to keep the Macbook Air in the Archbook dock and not have to open it to power it on?
    Thanks for any advise.

  • HT202801 Cannot connect 2nd Thunderbolt Display or HDMI TV

    Hi,
    I can't seem to get my 2nd Thunderbolt Display or HDMI TV to work or be recognized on my MacPro. I do have my primary Thunderbolt display working. I went through the setup options that was on the how to article to set it up, and still nothing. Under About this Mac, it only recognizes the primary display as well. Any suggestions? Thanks

    When I unplugged my primary monitor, the second one did not come on. I did go through all of the thunderbolt ports with the primary monitor and all of them had a signal to it. I unplugged my second displays power and plugged it back in, then plugged it back into the MacPro and it came on. Now if I can only figure out the HDMI tv signal I will be all set. Thank you all for your help.

  • I cannot connect my keyboard to my thunderbolt display

    I have tried plugging in my keyboard in various USB locations on my thunderbolt display; however, my keyboard doesnt work. I used my keyboard on other machines and it does work. My mouse is connected to my thunderbolt display as well; however, it does work....Suggestions?

    I have tried every possible combination and the solution I found on MacRumours:
    plug the external keyboard into the Thunderbolt display with an extra USB extension cable !

  • Cannot get my Thunderbolt display to charge my mac book

    My thunderbolt display powers my laptop - but does not charge it.... have switched the mag safe adaptor around, power cycled my mac and thunderbolt display to no avail; any ideas?

    i have the same problem but further tests have indicated its related to the macbook being used with the magsafe adaptor. The only power adaptor that works with my retina 15 MacBook Pro is the original. Its been like this since I bought the Macbook in October 2012
    I have two previous power supplies from my 17 Macbook Pro. Neither of these will charge through the magsafe adaptors either.
    I took my machine into the apple store and they couldnt get any of their adaptors to power it through a magsafe adaptor either. They offered to take it in and look at it but I cant afford to be without it for two weeks.
