Moving to Europe...will Thunderbolt Display work?

Hi. I'm moving to Finland this summer and would like to take along my new-ish thunderbolt display. I have a power converter to go from 110v to 230v, but i was wondering if the 50hz vs. 60hz would cause a problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

The display specs say:
Input voltage: 100-240V AC; 50-60Hz
So I would say, yes.
Just don't be up on a moutain above 10000 feet!

Will thunderbolt display work on mini display port?

I just purchased a new Thunderbolt 27" display and was told at the Apple Store that it would work with my 2010 Mac Pro on one of the mini display ports. Got it home, hooked it up and.... nothing. Connected it to my MacBook Pro (Retina) via Tbolt port and it fires up as expected. Was I misled at the store? I want to have the future technology at hand for upgrades coming down the road. But I fear I'm stuck between older technology and Tbolt tech. Any suggestions?

There is no way to make a Thunderbolt display work with a computer that does not have a Thunderbolt port. Only the new (late 2013) version of the Mac Pro has Thunderbolt.
A Mini DisplayPort display will work with a Thunderbolt port (except the port on the back of a Thunderbolt display), but a Thunderbolt display will not work with a Mini DisplayPort.

2 thunderbolt displays worked fine daisy chained, moved one to work in other room, now only one will work. both work independantly or both plugged into my macbook pro.

I have 2 thunderbolt displays and have had them daisy chained for months where I only would plug one into my macbook pro 15" retina and both displays have worked great. The other day I moved one of them into the conference room, connected also a HDMI cord to a projector to do some work with staff on software design.
I brought my thunderbolt back into my office and plugged it back into the other thunderbolt dispay, then plugged the other display back into my macbook and started it up and now I can only get one to work daisy chained. They both work great independantly or if both of them are plugged into my macbook pro, but not daisy chained any longer.
Is there a setting I need to look at to maybe reset so that my macbook pro will use both thunderbolt displays daisy chained?
Thanks for anyones advice and sharing any similar issues and how you fixed the issue.

Hi there,
The first thing that I would recomend is resetting the PRAM on your portable.
OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM

If the issues persist, then you may need to force the device to detect displays.
OS X Mountain Lion: About the Display pane of System Preferences

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.

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.

Thunderbolt Display works with MacBook Pro but not iMac. Huh?

I have a Thunderbolt Display, which I normally keep connected as an "extended desktop" to my MacBook Pro -- no problem.
Starting today, I'm using a borrowed iMac and I had hoped to switch my Thunderbolt Display over and do the same arrangement: "extended desktop." However, the display does not come on when I power up the iMac, and clicking the "detect displays" button in the Displays Preferences window does not help.
This iMac was previously set up with an a different Thunderbolt Display in its original home, and seemed to work fine. I saw it with my own eyes. My own Thunderbolt Display still works fine when connected to my MacBookPro. It's only the combination of my monitor to the borrowed iMac that doesn't work.
Both the MacBook Pro and the iMac are running OS X Version 10.7.3. The MacBook has an AMD Radeon HD 6770M card, and the iMac is using an ATI Radeon HD 5750.
Ideas?

Both the mini-displayport plugs and TB plugs are physically compatible which is why you can plug it in. But if the iMac has a mini-displayport for video it won't work with the TB display.
Check your System Profile to see if it tells you whether you have a TB port. And if there is no information about that post here or look up for yourself the kind of ports for that model of iMac. System Profiler will give yo that information (click Hardware on the left). From the model information it can be definitively determined whether that imac supports TB.
Also, so long as the Displays system preferences is not showing an Arrangement tab then it is not detecting the second display.

HT5219 did thunderbolt display worked with mac pro 2012 12 core ??

i buy mac pro 2012 12 core with thunderbolt display so how i can maake it work with us ??

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you want to use a Thunderbolt Display with your 2012 MacBook Pro, you can do it without any problem because your MacBook Pro has got a Thunderbolt port.
If you need help to set up the Thunderbolt Display, see its user guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/thunderbolt_display_getting_started.pdf
Instead, if you have a Mac Pro (it looks like you have a Mac Pro because you say that it has got 12 cores), you can't use the Thunderbolt Display because the Mac Pro hasn't got Thunderbolt ports. Instead, you have to use the LED Cinema Display

Upgraded Windows 8 to 8.1 on Haswell Retina - Only Thunderbolt Display working - Retina Display Black!

So this is a crazy one... I've read through all the articles with everyone's issues with the new MBPr Haswell and Bootcamp. This one is unique I believe. I started off with a perfectly functioning Windows 8 Pro copy installed on a Lacie Thunderbolt External SSD (I extracted the install.wim file to a separately partitioned EFI boot as described here: http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.com/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external. html) and it worked flawlessly. I could boot through Mac OSX with it either directly connected to my MBPr or daisy-chained through my TBD (Thunderbolt Display).
I thought all was well and updated to 8.1 through the in-store free upgrade. It worked on startup, but after my second time booting it up I noticed that the Retina Display (dual-monitor setup) was very dim. I went to adjust the brightness and *blip* - it just turned off while the Thunderbolt Display continued working. I rebooted several times after messing with drivers, reinstalling (or running the fix) the bootcamp software to no avail. Now Win 8.1 runs perfectly on my Thunderbolt display only with my Macbook Retina next to it, open with a blacked out screen! BUT I'm really bummed that I don't have a dual-display set up and Windows isn't recognizing the actual laptop's display! What?!
I know someone out there much more knowledgeable than me knows the answer! I've tried settings, drivers, etc.! Could it be that I've installed it to a Thunderbolt External? Like I said, it worked as Win 8 Pro flawlessly! I'd rather not use precious internal SSD space if possible! Help!

Ok so I was exhausted and just missed something really simple. In the Power Settings under the "advanced" tab, there was a setting that read: "Dim display when connected to a) battery 0% and b) plug 0%". They were obviously both at zero, why the Thunderbolt display was still lit up, I don't know. I reconfigured the display settings to be extended to 2 displays and it works perfectly!
For anyone that wants Windows 8.1 to boot from an external disk, I suggest the above tutorial (only use a Thunderbolt external, as the read/write speeds of anything else are horrible). It worked soo so well, unfortunately the only thing that doesn't work well is my brain, and b/c of that I missed a very simple setting, haha.
The only tweaks I made in the process was to install Windows 8 Pro first, then run Boot Camp, then install Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store as an update. All Bluetooth, display, (all peripheral) settings work just as if I was on a Windows machine. Flawless. Thanks to anyone who saw this and tried to help!

Moving to Korea - will power still work?

I'm moving to Korea this weekend and I currently live in the US. Will this work with just a power converter kit or will I need something bigger or better?

You don't say what computer you are using, but the MBPs are multivoltage (automatic switching) and I my G5 is dual-voltage. It may have a switch, but unless you have a very old computer, it should not be a problem.
DO NOT USE a power converter unless it specifically states it's for delicate electronic equipment. If you need to change the voltage use a transformer. A power converter can damage your computer.

Will Air Display work on my Mac 10.5.8?

So i just downloaded Air Display in hopes of making my desktop Mac a second monitor for my Macbook Pro. The desktop is version 10.5.8 and is having troubles downloading the software. I may be doing the installation steps wrong.. I have no idea. Any suggestions?

Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?

I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?

Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.

Will thunder bolt display work off Ati 7970 mini display port?

Hay sorry if this has been done before, after reading a few threads i am still confused re compartiblity,
I have a MacPro 3.1 2x 3.2Ghz quad core, with an Ati 7970, it has a mini display port on it, will a 27inch thunderbolt display work of this? i understand that the thunder bolts on the back of the display will not? but also what about the usb's?

those displays now will be out of warranty and a good number have brightness issues over time.
False. The reported brightness issues are very rare. The 30" is one of the best displays ever sold by Apple. Find one for $700-800.
Both the ACD and TBD have the same glare issue as the pre-2012 iMacs. They were never updated to the direct lamination of the 2012-13 iMac screens.

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!

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?

IPad mini Celluar USA / Europe. Will an iPad work on the European mobile network if purchased in the USA.

If I buy an iPad mini wifi and Celluar without any SIM card in the USA , and bring it to Europe, will it then work on the European system with my European Simcard?

Yes. iPads work worldwide with 3G. Read the specifications.

Thunderbolt Display with mini-displayport Sapphire HD 7550 video card

I have a Mac Pro 5,1, Model A1289, made in June 2012. It came with a Nvidia Quadro 400 graphics card, but I want to purchase a Sapphire HD 7550 3GB Mac Edition graphics card in order to use a 27 inch Thunderbolt Display. I know the Sapphire 7550 card will work in the Mac Pro version I have.
The description of the Sapphire 7550 card says it has two mini-display ports. Will the 27 inch Thunderbolt Display work with this card?
I have read information on various forums that suggest it will work and others that say it will not.
Will a Thunderbolt Display work with a video card that has mini-display ports or does it have to specifically say it is a Thunderbolt port?
Does anyone have a clear answer?

see this post - you will not be able to run a tb monitor on the older silver tower mac pro's
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6210828?tstart=0
you need the other 27 display - led cinema
