The 27 inch iMac and the thunderbolt display how many hertz

i want to play 3d games so i ask this question.

Please navigate on this page to Support - Tech Specs - then find the model you're interested in. That is where you will find specifications for each model.
You also need to be more specific when asking a question, 27' iMacs come in a variety of configurations with different GPUs and CPUs, RAM etc so you need to specify which iMac, which GPU and which CPU you're most interested in. Also you need to state in which OS you plan to run the games OS X or MS Windows. If you plan to run Windows then you need to specifiy how you will be loading Windows Boot Camp or virtualization.
In other words there are many factors to take into account.
You can also look at the variety of benchmark sites that test that kind of thing. Use Google to find them.

IMac and new Thunderbolt displays

Has anyone seen anything on the max number of monitors with the 2011 iMac and the new Thunderbolt displays? Theoretically you could hook up 4 external monitors using the new Thunderbolt monitor + the 27' iMac display for a total of 5, 27' monitors. The Thunderbolt monitor was just announced and hasn't been released yet so maybe an Apple insider can answer the question.

Yes. See question 14

Can I hook up an early 2011 macbook pro to a new iMac AND another thunderbolt display?

I want to get a new iMac, and I have an early 2011 macbook pro. Can I use a two-way thunderbolt cable to hook these two up? If so, will I still be able to use full functionality on both as I move windows to and from one of them? (Like, I use my macbook track pad to move a safari window over to my iMac, and then I can either use my iMac mouse or my macbook's trackpad to do things with that safari window.
ALSO, is it possible to hook up an additional thunderbolt display to all of this? Basically my end-goal is to have a macbook pro hooked up to an iMac with an additional thunderbolt display, that's my "dream set-up" which will make a lot of stuff that I do a lot easeir and less crowded on one moniter.

no the thunderbold display thing would let you use the imac as a monitor for the macbook apart from acting the role of display the imac would be dorment so a very pricy monitor

I have a mid 2011 27 inch iMac and a late 2012 mac mini. I am using the 27 inch iMac as the display for the mac mini. I was trying to use bootcamp on the mini but after I started downloading windows I can't get it to display on the iMac.

Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

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
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:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,
Clinton

The thunderbolt firmware 1.2 update keeps reappearing. I have a MacBook Pro and 2011 Thunderbolt display. Did not discionnect when upgrading to Yosemite (only read the instructions later). Thanks.

Hi There,
I have a MacBook Pro (late 2011) and a Thundertbolt Display. I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then Thunderbolt Firmware update 1.2 keeps reappearing and I cannot complete the update (with and without display connected etc.). Any advice? Thanks.

Hello HTG65,
If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing try reinstalling it following the steps in this article.
Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing and Thunderbolt ports and Target Display Mode may not work - Apple Support
To resolve this issue:
Shutdown your computer.
Disconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
Wait 10 seconds.
If you are using a Mac mini with a Thunderbolt display, reconnect the Thunderbolt display directly to your computer via the Thunderbolt port. Do not connect other Thunderbolt devices at this time.
Restart your computer.
If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 is offered, download and install it and restart your computer when asked. If the Thunderbolt Update is not offered, the update has installed correctly.
Reconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
Take care,
Nubz

Real time fan speed and temperature of the Thunderbolt Display

Is there software program that allows you to know the real time speed of the itnernal fan of the Thunderbolt display. Also I would like to monitor the internal temp of the TBD. I have Istat which allows me to do both but only for my MBPro not my montior.
Thanks.

Have you ever cleaned you machine? Since it's an iSight (which is actually 3rd generation, Ambient Light is the 2nd, Rev A the 1st), you can't open it but you can vacuum the air vents, which might help.

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!

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.

Using the thunderbolt display camera

I have a late 2013 iMac with two thunderbolt displays hooked up. How do i switch from using the camera on my iMac to using the camera on the Thunderbolt displays?

Depends on the application using the camera. For example, in Photo Booth, you would select the Camera menu in the menu bar and select the display's camera from the list.

Imac 27 inch with additional Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)

Hi there,
Recently I bought a 27 inch iMac. I want to connect my Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch) as a second screen.
The iMac has 2 thunderbolt ports. Attaching the Thunderbolt Display has no effect, the screen keeps black.
If I attach my Macbook Air it directly shows a second screen for my Air (so the screen is fine).
How can I enable the second screen for my iMac ?
Love to here.
Walter

Try Command + F2
You should be able to make it work from there
