Thunderbolt Display and Windows 8.1

I have a 2011 MBP running windows 8.1.
Since upgrading (it used to work under windows 8)my external thunderbolt display still works - but it's stuck in 640x480 mode.
Clearly this is a driver issue. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this problem.

That's awful - the good news is something I did -re-enabled the resolution slider - so the monitor works again. The driver thing is annoying. I'm considering trying parallels - and avoiding the issue. This is defintely the last apple monitor I buy though.
Thanks for answering - I'm going to keep my ear to the ground for new drivers as well.

  • Dual Thunderbolt Displays in Windows 7? Retina Macbook?

    I understand you cannot daisy chain thunderbolt displays in Windows 7 to have dual monitors? Is there another way to run Dual monitors? I have a mid 2012 Macbook pro with on Thunderbolt display. I see the Retina Macbook has two thunderbolt ports. If I got one of those, could use dual Thunderbolt displays then in Windows 7, and then just hook each monitor up to it's own Thunderbolt port instead of daisy chaining?

    No, you still cannot drive 2 Thunderbolt Displays in Windows with the MBP Retina.
    However, you can use 1 Thunderbolt display (for USB hub and LAN connection), and then use 1 Cinema display as the 2nd screen. You can chain the USB ports, but not the displays, so you do have 1 extra connection to the MBP, but that's fine.
    Windows 7 will drive this setup without problems.

  • Can a Mac Pro (2.66 ghz duel core) be upgradable to support Thunderbolt displays and other devices.

    Can a Mac Pro (2.66 ghz duel core (4cores)) be upgradable to support Thunderbolt displays and other devices. Does this need to be done through the Graphics card expansion or a additional card to be inserted?

    No. There is no way to upgrade any Mac Pro older then the cylindrical 2013 Mac Pro to ThunderBolt.
    The requirements of Thunderbolt require a totally redesigned motherboard and chip set rather any plugin cards. These motherboard were never developed for older Mac Pros.

  • Is there a way to connect 1 external thunderbolt display and 1 external HDMI display to a mid 2012 MBP (non-retina display)?

    I've had a 24" Asus HDMI montitor for a while, and just got a 27" Apple thunderbolt display. I was wondering if there was a way to connect both of these to my mid-2012 Macbook Pro (non-retina). I know you can daisy-chain 2 thunderbolt displays, so I tried plugging my Asus into the thunderbolt display (using an HDMI to mini-display port adapter) and it didn't work. Suggestions??

    Mini DisplayPort displays and adapters don't work directly with a Thunderbolt display, but will if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort device.

  • Thunderbolt display and drive unmounts

    I have a Thunderbolt display and a new late 2013 MBPr 15 running 10.9. Since upgrading from an earlier MBPr my thunderbolt display connected thunderbolt drives (2 G-Techonolgies) intermittingly unmount and are unreachable by Disk Utility and a restart is required to remount the drive(s). Anyone experiencing this issue. G-Technonogies suggest putting the display at the end of the TB chain, not quite sure how to do this with the all-in-one connector. I have tried connecting the drives directly to the MBPr on one TB Interface and the Display on the other thru the all-in-one cable of the display, the issue still exists.

    I've a Spyder4Elite that I use on both my Thunderbolt Display and on my MBP - and, while both are calibrated, they don't - and cannot - 'match' one another, no matter how hard I try.
    I suspect that you're running up against the same wall? Different technologies in different displays. I doubt that you'll ever get a perfect match: mine are just 'good enough'.

  • Can apple tv connect to Thunderbolt display and how?

    No.  A Thunderbolt display requires a computer with Thunderbolt.

  • Chain Time Capsule, Thunderbolt Display and MacBook Pro

    I would like to setup the following configuration?

    Does this configuration support the following concurrent connections?
         to Time Capsule through thunderbolt port

    I would like to assess this configuration before the purchase.

  • Connection between Mac BookPro (early 2011), a Thunderbolt Display and a Wacom Cintiq 22'

    I want to connect my Mac BookPro (early 2011) to a Thunderbolt Display and a Wacom Cintiq 22'. My Cintiq is connect with a DVI-Thunderbolt-Adapter to the Thunderbolt Display. The Cintiq-Display shows nothing. Is this connection impossible or do I something wrong?

    You can't connect a non-Thunderbolt display or adapter directly to the port on the back of a Thunderbolt display.  It will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the two displays.

  • When I disconnect my MBP from my Thunderbolt display and reconnect, arrangement resets.

    I have a MBP Retina and a 27" Thunderbolt display. When I disconnect from the Thunderbolt display and then reconnect, my arrangement is reset and I have to set it again.  This has been happening for the last day.
    I am on OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and I just updated the Thunderbolt firmware yesterday.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    However, there seems to be a bug in iOS 8 or iTunes 12.1.1 that cause this problem and I have not seen a solution

  • A free, simple undocking app for Thunderbolt Display (and non-thunderbolt) users...

    If you are using a Thunderbolt display and have several external drives, it can be a pain to undock all of the external drives when you want to unplug the monitor. Here is a link to an app that can undock it for you. I've tested it on Lion. If you like it please leave a comment on the blog. Thanks!
    http://chompingatbits.com/2011/09/23/undocking-from-an-apple-thunderbolt-display /
    Just download the app. Then run it anytime you want to eject all of your external drives.

    Mini DisplayPort displays and adapters don't work directly with a Thunderbolt display, but will if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort device.

  • Sound Switches Between Thunderbolt Display and MacBook Pro

    I have an Apple Thunderbolt display and MacBook Pro set-up with dual screens. I have an iPhone plugged into a dock that runs to the display. When I have music playing out of the display and I disconnect my iPhone, it switches the sound to the MacBook Pro.
    1. How do I stop this from happening?
    2. If I can't stop it from happening, how do I move the sound from the MacBook Pro back to the display?
    There doesn't seem to be any options within Preferences/Sound to change it back.
    Thank you.

  • Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l nudge cursor

    Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

    It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
    If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...
