Has the thunderbolt display had its magsafe connector upgraded
Has the thunderbolt display had its magsafe connector upgraded and if so is there a backward compatible adapter for the older magsafe connectors?
The web page for the Thunderbolt Display says it still comes with the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter, so I would say the attached connector is still the original MagSafe.

How do you get your dock to appear on the Thunderbolt display?
When I connect my MacBook Air to the Thunderbolt, the dock remains on my laptop.
My husband's MacBook Pro automatically puts the dock at the bottom of the Thunderbolt screen.
Also, when I open any application or a new window in an open application, the new window appears on my laptop
and I have to drag it to the Thunderbolt display.
Is there any way to get the dock and windows to appear on the Thunderbolt automatically so I can work only on the
Thunderbolt?Thank you, mende1!
So, if I want to use the Thunderbolt as an extended display and not as a second display mirroring what is on my computer's screen, what would I need to do?
Malcolm's answer has me mirroring my laptop which is better than I had.
But, I used to be able to have my Apple Mail on my laptop, while working on other applications on the Thunderbolt.
I think that is what you are referring to..... would love help! Thanks! -
I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

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. -
Is there a way to disable the Thunderbolt Display?
Hey Guys,
I recently got a Thunderbolt Display and connected it up to my iMac (i bought the iMac in Jan 2013) and everything is working just as perfect as i thought it would apart from one thing.
I have had a search around to see if there is any way to turn off the Thunderbolt display without having to keep pulling out the Thunderbolt Cable, as you can imagine having to do this each time means that i need to re-arrange all my windows when i plug the display back in. I have tried to use SwitchResX but when disabling the thunderbolt display it turns off and then instantly turns back on.
Does anyone know if there is an App or something that can be installed to perhaps put the screen into sleep mode without disconnecting? I have also looked at the screen saver hot corners as someone on the community mentioned that but this never worked either.
Cheers
MichaelI am looking for the same solution! Had the same experience with SwitchResX.
Please, people, help us! -
The ethernet port on the thunderbolt display is not working
The ethernet is working when the cable is connected directly to my mac laptop but when connected the thunderbolt display there is no connection. Is there some type of set up for the ethernet connection or can this port just be broken?
Thanks for the help!Afterthought on an older post: it isn't immediately clear that the Ethernet port on the Thunderbolt Display works through the "Display Ethernet" interface, rather than through the "Thunderbolt Ethernet" interface. The latter was already present in the list of network interfaces in Network Preferences, while the former had to be added via the + button --- at least that was the case when I installed the TB display to work with my 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina this week.
The AppleCare rep didn't know the difference either and agreed with me that it was puzzling that using the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter on the Thunderbolt port of the display did work, wheras using the Ethernet port directly didn't (even though there were lights flashing on the Ethernet port of that other computer I tried to connect to in Internet Sharing mode). Close reading of the above posts made me go look for that mysterious "Display Ethernet" interface... thank you Clinton! -
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. -
How do I know if the iPad mini has the retina display, before buying it, by the box it comes in?
I was recently trying to buy an iPad Mini with retina display but the box it was in did not say anything about whether it had the retina display. Also the price they were going to charge me was $299 and not the $399 of the Mini with retina display. So how do I know by looking at the box if the Ipad Mini in the box has the retina display?
By this;
The model number on the back cover is:
A1489 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi
A1490 on the iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular"
do you mean on the back cover of the box or the iPad itself. If it is only on the back side of the iPad itself, then I wont know if I have actually purchased the iPad Mini with retina display until I have opened the box. To me this is unacceptable as it creates a huge hassle if my intent was to buy thr iPad Mini with retina display but was actually sold the iPad Mini without retina display. When I return it for eith the right iPad mini or my money back, certain retailers have a habit of treating such people like criminals even when it was the retailers mistake. The box should be clearly maked to indicate which iPad mini in contains so the purchaser does not have to feel like they're playing roulette.
Today I was trying to buy the iPad Mini with retina display and made it very clear to those working at this retailer that was my intent. This paricular retailer has you talk to their sales people on the floor and they give you a print out of the item you are purchasing. Then the customer takes it to the cahier who takes to the stockroom and brings it back to the customer. I asked the cashier if it was indeed the iPad Mini with retina display and they said yes. So I asked how can you tell by the box? The cashier told me all the boxes look like this one. I said to them, if it is the iPad Mini with retina display whay is it priced $299 like the original iPad Mini without retina display? I walked out without buying it. Some poeple may have thought oh good I'm getting the iPad Mini with retina display for the price of the iPad mini without retina display when in fact they be only getting the original iPad mini without retina display.
Your response helped me but it does not solve the problem as far as I am concerned of being able to tell what iPad Mini is in the box simply by what is on the outside of the box. You may say, what difference does it make? My response is, not all retailers are scrupulous! -
How to connect your hdmi tv to the Thunderbolt display?
Hello,
I've just got my Thunderbotl display which is really nice, but i have question and i hope this would be possible.
How to connect an external display, in my case the HDMI tv to the thunderbolt display?
The connection would looks something like this:
Macbookpro (late 2011 15') -> Thunderbolt cable -> Thunderbolt display -> Thunderbolt to hdmi adapter -> HDMI Display
But currently i cannot get any screen on my hdmi display (it remeans black).
p.s. runing latest version of OS X
Thanks<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219>
See secrions 14 and 16.
If your MacBook Pro does support two external displays you may be able to use your TV with a Thunderbolt display. While a Mini DisplayPort adapter won't work plugged directly into a Thunderbolt display, it will work if a Thunderbolt drive is connected between the displays. This reportedly works with Seagate GoFlex drives. LaCie drives don't work plugged into Thunderbolt displays. -

Mac OS X 10.8 crashes after disconnecting the Thunderbolt display
Wondering if anyone can help my Mac OS X 10.8.5 crashes after I disconnect the thunderbolt display.
I normally work in the studio with my macbook connected to an external display.
When I go to use it without the thunderbolt display it crashes - 4 times in one day, which really isn't ideal when your freelancing.
I've checked my log files and I have a list of panic reports. I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to be looking for, but each of the reports refer to the graphics control. I've read online it might have something to do with the display sleep, so I've reset that.

ChloeHi Chloebat,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro. If you continue to have intermittent but persistent crashing issues with your Mac, possibly related to the display, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Have most recent macbook pro connected to thunderbolt via thunderbolt cable. Occasionally when I close my laptop the thunderbolt display goes black and does not come back on---even in response to keyboard. Help
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:

Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter? I like to have two monitors and currently using an Cinema Display from 2005. Thanks
If your computer does not have Thunderbolt you cannot use a Thunderbolt display. There are no adapters that will help.
