My thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop

my thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop. It sounds like an electronic noise which doesn't come through the speakers. Any advice how to eliminate this?

Could be a poor ground.  Try plugging the monitor directly into the wall (no power strip) and see what happens.

  • 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.

    If the issues persist, then you may need to force the device to detect displays.

    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.

  • My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
    Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
    In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
    If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
    I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    It should just show up on the Desktop or in the side panel. If not check under Finder preferences, General and check the Show these items… CD's DVD's etc.

  • Audio Noise When Plugged Into AC Adapter

    I have a dv9000 laptop which produces a sizzling/buzzing sound when plugged into the AC adapter.  It makes the sound when headphones or external speakers are used.  I have updated all drivers that the HP Support article mentioned, but still do not get any silence.  It appears that the sound intensifies when the hard drive is used more. 
    Also, I found articles relating to the same issue, and improper grounding was determined to be the cause.  I have a 3 pronged AC adapter, so the ground shouldn't be the problem. 

    " have a 3 pronged AC adapter, so the ground shouldn't be the problem."
    Actually I bet it IS.  Try a 3 prone grounding adapter (cheater plug) and let the ground float (leave disconnected).  See if your problem doesn't go away.  You most likely have a ground loop which I have wrestled with many times in the past with HP laptops.  Unless you are sitting in a pool of water or get struck by lightening, you should be just fine 99.99999999% of the time.  If you have any other powered external devices connected to the laptop such as hard drives, routers, etc  THEY TOO may need to have their grounding floating.  Report back your results.

  • Ipad not being not being "seen" by itunes when plugged into mac book pro. Troubleshooting guide didn't help.

    Hello, I just recently got my macbook pro (2009, 15 inch) repaired. While it was being repaired I bought an ipad and was synching it to a seperate computer. However, now when I plug in the ipad to the macbook, itunes does not see the ipad and the ipad does not recognize itself as being plugged in. I updated all my software/firmware/itunes software and restarted botht the computer and ipad. The computer I was synching it to previously died on me unceremoniously and this ipad has all my music on it. Any suggestions on what to do next?

    kmiddlet88,
    yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

  • Apple thunderbolt display - Can i work it with the new MacBook Pro's, which have a HDMI Output?

    But will the new 2013/2014 macbook's work with my thunderbolt display???
    /Nikolaj

    Yes.  The New Retina MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports.  Plug the display into one of the Thunderbolt ports.
    You will need a MagSafe adapter.

  • External Display wil not work when I close my MacBook Pro

    Help! I'm using a Vizio LCD with Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse and I'm trying to use just the display with the MacBook Closed and Powered, but as soon as I do that the Screen on the VIzio dies. I worked for a while but now it won't work anymore. I can here the mouse and keyboard working but the screen on the Vizio will not display anything. bought a the only thing that I'm thinking is that i bought a cheap HDMI to DVI cable at Walmart..could that be the problem? Any feed back would be welcome. Thanks

    6 With the computer turned on and your wireless keyboard or mouse paired, connect the other end of the adapter to the video output port on your MacBook Pro.
    7 Once your computer's Desktop appears on the external display, close the MacBook Pro lid.
    8 Once it's closed, wake the computer up by either clicking your Bluetooth mouse button or by pressing a key on your Bluetooth keyboard.
    You mean it never wakes the external monitor at this point?

  • HT2801 how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web supedrive plugged into my macbook pro?

    how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web superdrive plugged into the usb port

    I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.

  • Why does my guitar make crackling noises when it plays through logic pro/garageband?

    When my guitar plays directly through the interface and montors, it sounds perfectly fine. But whenever I want to add effects through a musical application  such as garageband or logic pro x, I get this weird, very loud crackling/bubbly sound. Can anyone help me out with this?

    I have the exact same problem and it's been a week or so. It kind of just makes those weird noises out of nowhere and scares the **** out of me. Did you end up at the Apple Store or were you able to fix it up on your own?

  • Can i make screen sleep when plugged into tv but keep ipad running?

    I don't know if it's hard on the screen to keep it up and running when I have the ipad connected to the television watching a movie on netflix, for example, but it sure seems like a waste of it's life.  Is there anyway tell the ipad to sleep the screen but keep it running?  Other than for playing music, which I know it does. 

    Is there anyway tell the ipad to sleep the screen but keep it running?
    No, the video app needs to have that feature built in. For example, the Apple video app does black out the display, but when I use VLC or Netflix they do not.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • My iphone4s will charge but not sync when connected to my macbook pro, using the latest itunes

    My iphone4s will charge when plugged into my macbook pro but will not sync. I am using the latest version of itunes and I already tried restarting both the computer and the device. What gives??

    After days mucking around this worked for me..
    For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not  present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device  if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called  "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see  "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program  Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.
