Does this function like the thunderbolt display when in target display mode?

I want to connect a 2011 MacBook Pro to a 2011 iMac via Thunderbolt. Will I be able to use the iMac's peripherals (USB keyboard, FaceTime camera, etc.) to control the MacBook?

Do one of these offer what you want?

Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

So it can be .mp4 format.
If not you have to convert it.
Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

Does This look like the new,larger iPad coming?

This picture is right off of the Apple website.
Is this the new, larger iPad that is coming next from Apple that everyone keeps writing about?

I have had some time to look at this, it could be either the cover/screen for a MacBook/Pro/Air.
It's kinda hard to tell, but if this was a larger iPad, I think the Apple Logo on the back should be turned 90 degrees clockwise?

Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:

I hope this helps!
All the best,

My Mac book Pro when plug in to the thunderbolt display my photoshop cs6cc shows a green screen through my photoshop screen ?

When I use photoshop cs6cc on my MacBook Pro I use the Thunderbolt display and the green water back ground shows through my photoshop display when using it. It does not do it when using Lightroom Help?

Try entering your login code 4 digits to unlock the phone. Then connect it.

Will the Thunderbolt Display work when I close the lid?

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro. I'm thinking about buying the Thunderbolt Display, but only if it can simulate a desktop and I can close the lid of my Macbook. I'm asking this because I know it goes to sleep when closed and was wondering if the Display makes it work differently. thanks.

Works great and how I do 90% of my computing.
I use a usb wireless keyboard with the receiver plugged in to the back of the TBD. When the laptop is asleep press the space key once or twice to wake up the display (be patient, doesn't work as fast as you think it should). I use a screenlock password, so enter it and we're working!
One note: if the computer is turned off you can not turn it on from the keyboard. You'll have to open the laptop, turn it on, and once you hear the chime you can close the laptop and you're gtg.

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

No. It functions when connected to the Internet.

The thunderbolt display does not charge macbook pro,

there is a magnetic adapter for the power cord...do I need to find a new cord for the display or is there a problem with the mac book pro?

The Thunderbolt Display has two cables to connect to the MacBook Pro.
The first is the Thunderbolt cable, identified by the lightening bolt on the connection. This carries data to the display for either passing through to other devices connected to the display (in this way, the display unit also acts as a hub for other devices (USB, Thunderbolt or maybe FireWire), or to the display unit to put on the screen. This cable does NOT charge the MacBook
The second is the power cable. The current version of the display (as of April 2013) contains the power cable to connect to the older type of MagSafe connections on the MacBook, and an adaptor to connect to the newer MacBook's (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina). You have to (of course) use the the adaptor or not depending on how old the MacBook is. It is an akward thing, but you have to use the adaptor for the newer Macs and not for the older Macs (sounds backwards, but that is the way it is).
The older versions of the display (mid 2012) do not come with the adaptor and you have to buy one if you have a newer Mac. Or you can continue to use the power brick that came with the Mac.
Soon, (hopefully - but not soon enough IMHO) Apple will release a new version of the display which will (in addition to being thinner, lighter, use less power, etc.) will contain a power cord that will fit right into the newer Macs and you will need an adaptor if you have an older Mac.
Sounds kind of confusing, but if the power cable from the Thunderbolt does not fit your Mac, you have to use an adaptor.

No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

When I connect my Macbook Air to the thunderbolt display the fans run constantly

I dont understand.... but the fans seem to run at full speed the entire time I'm connected to the the thunderbolt display.
My cpu usage is blow 10% and and the cpu temp from istat is showng as 72
I understand the fans kicking in once in a while but these run for hours and hours at full speed (6496 rpm)
Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same issue. I've had the MBA for a couple months now and haven't had the fan kick up hardly at all. A few minutes after it's connnected to my new T'bolt display though it kicks in and stays on. I've updated firmware once but there may be others and it hasn't helped.
Mine is in the closed position in a Book Arc and I've only got Chrome open for browsing so far.

Did you follow this article to update your phone?

If your device has modified software installed (jailbreak), you might get problems using the phone after updating it.
