Is The Thunderbolt display able to connect to an IPad for display purposes?

I am considering buying a Thunderbolt display, however I'm wondering if an IPad vs a Mac Book can be utilized?
Tom

Since the iPad has no ThunderBolt port, here is no way to use it with a ThunderBolt display to an iPad
If you get one of the newer models of MacBook that have a ThunderBolt port that will work

  • 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.

    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!

  • 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 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!

  • 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
    Michael

    I 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!

  • 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?

    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...
    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.

  • 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.

  • Is the thunderbolt display compatible with Dell laptop (Latitude 6430)?

    Is the thunderbolt display compatible with Dell laptop (Latitude 6430)?

    Since the specs for the Dell laptop (Latitude 6430) do not list ThunderBolt as one of the supported bus structures that means it does not have a ThunderBolt port to connect the ThunderBolt display to. Hence is not compatible.

  • 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.

  • Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter?

    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.
