MBA thunderbolt wired to ethernet through a Thunderbolt display

With an MBA thunderbolt wired to ethernet through a Thunderbolt display, all is fine running OSX Lion. But when running BootCamp Windows 7, I can't access my network (Access to ethernet via adapter USB is OK).
BootCamp has installed a driver Marvell (Yukonx64) Net 10.51.1.3
Need another driver ? Something to activate ?
Thank you

While they candidly told me it is possible the ClamXAV I have running in my MBP could be the cause of it that sometimes an anti-virus program may automatically set security levels so high that most connections are not permitted
That is simply not possible. ClamXav makes no changes what-so-ever to any security settings. The app itself doesn't even run until you tell it to. If you have the web site version, then you can optionally setup ClamXav Sentry to watch specific directories (folders) but all it does is scan every new or modified file in that directory. There seems to be no way it could possibly interfere with you network connectivity, Thunderbolt or otherwise.

Connecting network cable to Thunderbolt display causes MBA to crash

When plugging my MBA into my Thunderbolt screen I noticed that it often causes my MBA to crash - very frustrating! I have since discovered that this only happens when my wired network lead is connected to the Thunderbolt display. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have checked the firmware for the monitor and it is apparently up to date. I would like to be able to use the wired network through the connection on the back of the Thunderbolt screen so it really is quite inconvenient.
Thanks for any help/advice.
MBA (c. late 2012) running under Yosemite, new (late 2014) 27" Thunderbolt display.

This is the report that was captured after the most recent crash (it means nothing to me!):

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!

Thunderbolt Display Ethernet Connection

Hi
I notice that the Thunderbolt display has an Ethernet connection - so does this mean that I could plug my MacBook Air into it and then connect the MBA to my network via the Thunderbolt connection?
Many thanks

Yes, the concept of Thunderbolt is to reduce the number of cables connected directly to your Mac. For the MBA, you will only need to connect the Magsafe and the Thunderbolt cable and nothing else. All other connections can be made at the back of the display or by daisy-chaining.

Thunderbolt Display suddenly no longer recognized by my MBA

I have been using the thunderbolt display with my Mid 2011 Macbook Air (13inch). Everything worked fine. Now suddenly when I plug in the monitor the macbook does not recognize it. In System Information:Thunderbolt it says it is not connected to anything:
MacBook Air:
Vendor Name:          Apple, Inc.
Device Name:          MacBook Air
UID:          0x0001000C12AC2000
Firmware Version:          8.1
Port:
Status:          No devices connected
Link Status:          7
I know there is power to the display, as I have been using the display's cable to charge the MBA (as I've always done).
I don't know how to diagnose the issue further. Nothing else is connected to monitor or computer. Restarted many times. All cables look fine. All software up to date. (not sure about any display firmware...). Clamshell or as additional display.

Try the other DVI port on the graphics card. On early Mac Pros, only one port is the dual-link DVI needed for full resolution on the 30" display. Make sure the display's USB cable is plugged into the computer.

I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

How to get Thunderbolt Display recognized in Windows 8.1 through boot camp 2013 iMac

Ok so I have got the run-around quite a few times trying to figure this enigma out. I recently upgraded to the Haswell 2013 iMac from my 2011 iMac. I had been using my thunderbolt display with my "old" iMac and I was running Windows 8.1 through bootcamp. My display worked wonderfully and I had no issues. I just upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1, I had no idea that boot camp "does not support windows 8.1."
When I got my new machine I migrated my entire operating system from the old computer to the new (which was way way way harder than I had anticipated). Now it seems that almost everything works besides the thunderbolt monitor, which is not even detected. The monitor works when running OS X, but not when running Windows 8.1.
I just wondered if anyone had already had and fixed this issue, or if it is just a waiting game unitl the new boot camp support drivers for windows 8.1 come out.
Also if anyone could explain why it worked on my old machine and not my new one I would appreciate it, I have some ideas as to why but I would appreciate any input.
Thank you!
-Arthur

FIXED!
Well I just went to the NVIDIA website, downloaded the latest driver for the graphics card, installed it, and now Both monitors work.
Seems like a no brainer,but just in case this issue is a problem for other users I hope that this was helpful.
P.S. Windows 8.1 may not be supported by boot camp yet, but the boot camp driver package for windows 8 along with the graphics card driver I downloaded made my computer work better than I expected!

Both thunderbolt display and ethernet stopped working at the same time

I use recent Macbook pro 13inch retina. I use both of thunderbolt ports on ethernet and display.
I was messing around with application, and I found chess game. I played it for while than my display and ethernet suddenly stopped working.
I do know ethernet and display is working fine because My roommate still have access to the ethernet, and My xbox still works on my display monitor.
So, I suspected its thunderbolt problem, and I reinstalled Mavericks twice and reseted SMC and NVRAM, which didn't solve anything.
Do you have any suggestion before I take this computer to Apple store?

So the ports still work, and the display still lights up when you use it with your xbox? Are you sure about the xbox part, I didn't think the thunderbolt display worked with an xbox.

Do you have the LED Cinema display? Look at the back, do you have 3 USB ports or 3 USB ports, firewire and ethernet?

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?

Thunderbolt Display and MBA Display options

if i make any application ( chrome, spotify etc ) full screen either on MBA display or on the Thunderbolt screen, the other screen goes grey. How can make an application like spotify, chrome full screen on Thunderbolt display but still keep using outlook/mail on the main mba screen ?

Hello, Fran.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
This is the normal functionality of operating systems Mac OS X 10.8 and earlier. However, we recently released a new operating system for free that will allow the use of multiple displays in full screen mode.

Hope this helps,

Firewire 800 iMac as the TDM monitor for my MBA thunderbolt?

Can I use my Firewire 800 iMac as the TDM monitor for my MBA thunderbolt? Will the thunderbolt to firewire adaptor allow this to work?

If the iMac is a 21-inch model, it's not available that way but is with a product such as ScreenRecycler.
If the iMac is a 27-inch model, use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.

How do I disconnect or "eject" my Thunderbolt display when I take my MBA away from the desk?

How do I disconnect or "eject" my Thunderbolt display when I take my MBA away from the desk?

Pretty much. You need to eject all external drives that are connected to the TB display from within OS X before you disconnect the TB display otherwise OS X will give you the "drive was not ejected properly" error.
If you just pull out the TB cable it's like disconnecting the drives USB cable direct from the Mac.

Slow Wi-Fi on Macbook Pro running through Thunderbolt display

Hi there,
Im having issues with a new thunderbolt display. When my macbook is connected to the thunderbolt display im getting download speeds of 6.83. But when using the macbook on its own, not connected to the display, in the same room im getting download speeds of 19.24 according to speedtest.net
I have the virgin media super hub which is located downstairs. The macbook and display are upstairs.
I can't understand why theres such a difference in speeds just because im connected to the display. Can anyone help??
Nick.

I'm having the same issue. I can unplug the thunderbolt cable from the laptop and get speeds at least 10x faster (without moving the laptop at all). But when it's plugged into the display, it's slow (at times it is semi-usable but it drops in and out, which isn't usable).
I have tried disabling the display ethernet, setting the display ethernet below wi-fi in service order, and switching wireless networks (I have 2.4 and 5GHz setup, on separate devices). I have another laptop that performs just fine as well (each laptop uses a separate wifi network).
I saw something state that 10.8.1 beta testers were asked to test audio and wifi while connected to a thunderbolt display. Too bad I'm also on 10.8.2 and it appears broken still (again?).
I'd love to hear solutions because I can't currently run a cable to the display (in the future I will but that's the next project).

My ethernet port on the thunderbolt display doesn't work anymore.

I recently updated to 10.8.4 on a Mac book pro. I use it docked on a thunderbolt display.
The ethernet cable is plugged into the display.
Today I switch the computer on and the dot for ethernet remains orange with "etat inconnu". I tried to reboot, unplug the display nothing worked. I know the ethernet cable works fine.
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks,

You could try unplugging the TB display for a few seconds and then plug back in. If that does not work go to preferences, network and remove the ethernet display and then add the ethernet display (using the + at the bottom). See if that works. I had to do that on mine to fix a similar issue.

Thunderbolt display sound and ethernet not reliable after Yosemite upgrade

After upgrading my MacBook Air to Yosemite, my Thunderbolt display has become unreliable. Most of the time, connecting to the display does not allow either the sound or the ethernet capabilities of the monitor to be used by Yosemite. A manual restart of the MacBook temporarily resolves the issue, but it recurs any time I unplug the MacBook and plug it back in again. Reminds my of my Windows days, having to restart the computer to resolve issues. Not a good feeling.

Hi there,
i was experiencing this too. I followed this procedure (Have a backup available or make one!!) :http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1756994
