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

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.

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 to connect your Verizon 4510L to your home Wifi Network

Hello there!
I recently set my mom up with one of these guys and ran into the problem of having more than 5 devices that need to connect to the Internet and/or each other. I couldn't find any resources online that described how this can be done, or even if it is allowed. So I figured I would finally contribute to the Online community and share my success with all of you! As a disclaimer: I am not Verizon/Linksys/etc technical support and provide the following information freely and without warranty. The instructions below are specific to my configuration, and while yours WILL work using the same general principles, the exact steps required to make it work may be different. In other words, YMMV Good Luck!
First off, my environment doesn't equal your environment, and what I will describe below is one of the more complex scenarios. You can disregard any extra routers if you only use 1. Here is the environment I had to work with:
A large 2 story home with a basement area as well. The wifi signal does not travel well from floor to floor, so we had to have 1 wireless router per floor. We DID have the luxury of using home wiring to to phsycally connect both routers together, if you don't have that luxury, I might suggest using a "Powerline" adapter to help wire your two routers together. Some devices required wired connectivity on both floors as well, so wireless repeaters would not be sufficient. We purchased 2 routers to accomplish the following task. Brand of router should not matter. If your home is a 1 story, or have adequate coverage from a single router, you can disregard the 2nd (SLAVE) router instructions (4-5) below.
First off, what you will need to make this work:
One or more Wireless Routers (we used Linksys Wireless-G or Wireless-N 4-port routers)
     *EDIT: You need only 1 router, and if an additional access point is needed, purchase an Access Point or repeater with wired/wireless capabilities*
Verizon JetPack 4510L MiFI device
One Wireless Bridge (we used Linksys WET610 1-port Entertainment Bridge)
Next, lets setup the wireless/wired home network to connect all devices with one another:
1) Choose one router to be the MASTER, and the other to simply be your SLAVE/repeater for the other floor.
2) Before physically connecting the MASTER and SLAVE routers together perform the following:
3) On the MASTER router:
     - Change the router IP address to 192.168.10.1
          - The 10 is random, and you can make it whatever you want (as long as it isn't "1"), just remember it and keep it consistent.
     - Configure DHCP (usually on by default) but change the subnet from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.10.x.
          - The reason for changing the DHCP subnet is because your 4510L device uses DHCP as well, and it is configured to use 192.168.1.x
               - They can't be the same or it won't work
     - Configure your wireless SSID and security (preferably WPA2)
4) On the SLAVE router *EDIT: or repeater or access point*:
     - Change the router IP address something outside the DHCP range 1-100, but on the same subnet as the master router (ie. 192.168.10.101)
     - Disable DHCP on the router, as all address assignment is going to come from the MASTER
          - You may want to tape over the WAN port as well to remind yourself that it will not be used
     - Configure your wireless SSID and security to match that of the MASTER router
          - This will make it easier for your clients to use both access points and move throughout your home without having an issue
5) Connect both routers together with Ethernet (either direct cable, home ethernet wiring, powerline adapter, etc)
     - You want to connect both routers using one of the built in network ports (1-4)
There, now you have both floors of your home setup to accept either wired or wireless clients who will be assigned 192.168.10.x IP addresses. However, they will not have access to the Internet...yet!
The MiFi device by default has a long SSID, and the password to connect is on a label on the bottom of it. Power it on in the room next to a computer (probably a windows computer), and view your wireless networks to connect to from the desktop. You will probably see the wireless network name you just created on the routers and the "Verizon ..." MiFi name. Simply make a note of the EXACT SSID being broadcasted by the MiFi device. If you changed the default WiFi password before attempting this, make a note of that new password as well.
Next, lets use the key to making this thing work...the Wireless Bridge. The wireless bridge first needs to be physically connected to either router on ports 1-4. The bridge will get an IP address assigned to it and you will need to find that address out so that you can access it from a web browser. The easiest way to find that out is to connect to the MASTER routers web-based administration page (http://192.168.10.1), click on Status menu->Local network, and then click the "DHCP client table" button. You will find the bridge name and IP address there. Keep that administration window open.
Next, connect your web browser with the bridges IP address so that you can manually configure it to access the MiFi device. The bridge will ask if you want auto or manual configuration, and you want manual. When prompted for the SSID and security type, type in the SSID of the MiFi device EXACTLY as you wrote it down. Next, under security, change the type to WPA2-Personal, and type in the password to access the Verizon MiFi device (either on the sticker under it, or whatever you previously changed it to). Once you complete that setup, the status page should tell you that the bridge is connected and have an IP address (192.168.1.x) assigned to it. Once that is done, you can close your web browser to the wireless bridge.
Disconnect the bridge from the routers network ports and now connect it to the MASTER routers WAN port.
Next, return to the MASTER routers web-based administration page (http://192.168.10.1), click on the Status menu and view the WAN IP information. If everything was connected correctly:
MiFi wirelessly -> Wireless Bridge wired -> Master router WAN port (then optionally wired from port 1) -> Slave router port 1
Then, you should see the WAN IP address of 192.168.1.x assigned to your MASTER router.
If you do see that, then congratulations, open a web browser from any of your wired/wireless clients connected to your home network, and you should be able to access the Internet! You will be able to support as many clients as your Routers will allow you to directly connect (104 if I am not mistaken)...Yay!
I hope my experience helps you all in achieving the same results!
Troubleshooting:
If you do not see a WAN IP address, you might want to power off the MASTER router, the Wireless Bridge and MiFi device. Then in the following order power up each one, one at a time, giving the unit time to fully configure and connect to their respective networks: First MiFi, then the Bridge, then the MASTER router.
After the Master router is fully powered on, test a webpage again from any client connected to your new home network and it should work.
If it _still_ doesn't work, I would recheck the steps listed above to see if anything was missed. Particularly, making sure you changed the router IP and DHCP subnet of the MASTER router to something other than 192.168.1.x.
Good Luck!

Q: "In your example of using the wireless repeater, assuming it is on a different floor than the main router, how are the clients connecting to the network on that floor?"
A: However you like, both devices support thier own cabled and wireless connections.
I assume you are only interested in wireless client connections since cable connections are straight forward. Depending on how you setup the SSID's clients will connect to either the router or the repeater and they should be overlapping eachother a little.
Same SSID:
If the router and repeater share the same SSID then the client will decide on thier own which one to connect to. The client will roam between the two on its own criteria as the user moves around the enviornment. Roaming and transitioning will happen seamlessly for you and you should not notice a break in your connection unless you have something really specific connected to the internet. In most cases you cannot influence this behavior on your devices as they all have thier own criteria for choosing one SSID over another with a similar name.
Different SSID:
If the SSID's are different then the user must manually connect to one network or the other. Roaming will not be seamless and as the user walks out of range the client will be disconnected from the device. This provides the best reliability and control but requires more user intervention.
Q:"So correct me if I am wrong, but in your setup, there would be 2 wifi network, and the soft limitation of 4 devices on the repeater floor.
A. Nope, the repeater will support as many devices as it can, depending on the model you purchase. Even though the repeater needs a wireless connection with the MiFi, the Repeater rebroadcasts and acts as its own independant wireless router. The MiFi could care lesss how many people are connected to the Repeater, all it see's is one connection. If you removed the MiFi from the repeater then the repeater will continue to broadcast its own SSID. Clients connected to the repeater will not be disconnected from the repeater SSID but they would not recieve internet until the MiFi returns.
With the repeater enviornment you could have 10 people on the repeater, 10 people on the wireless router and 4 people directly conneted to the MiFi all at the same time. I dont suggest it running like that for performance reasons but hopefully you get the idea.

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. How do I get it to stop?

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?

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.

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:

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

These are User to User support Forums where we all help each other. No one from Apple replies here. Obviously we have no way of knowing why Apple does or doesn't choose to do something.

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.

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.
GPU Panic: [<None>] 5 3 7f 0 0 0 0 3 : NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100: CFG 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff, BAR0 0xd2000000 0xffffff808013e000 0x0a5480a2, D0, P3/4\n"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-3.4.5/src/AppleM uxControl/kext/GPUPanic.cpp:127

How do I use a MacBook with a Thunderbolt Display?

I have a new Thunderbolt Display which I use with a new Mac Mini. If possible, I would like to attach my 2008 era MacBook to the Thunderbolt Display to take advantage of the bigger screen. I understand that MacBook doesn't have Thunderbolt and the Thunderbolt Display requires it, but...isn't there maybe, just maybe, some sort of Thunderbolt to USB2 cable or something that might make this work?
Help me, Obi-won, you are my only hope.

There are Thunderbolt adapters you can use for the type of video port on your MB:
Display
1 - Mini-DVI (VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
But you may need to upgrade its OS X version at least to Snow Leopard.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.

       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
