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.

  • Can i use the thunderbolt display with a windows laptop running a AMD Radeon HD 8600M Series

    Running windows 7 on a Dell laptop with docking station connecting to thunderbolt display using a mini display port DVI adapter. Windows machine will not detect the display. Any ideas?

    No - a Thunderbolt display won't work with a mini-Displayport source, even though the cable will fit.

  • How do you use the Thunderbolt display without having to charge the MacBook Pro ?

    It seems my MacBook Pro retina has to be charging in order to use theThunderbolt display. When I close the Macbook lid and I remove the charger the display goes off. Is there anyway I do not have to be charging my laptop in order to use the display?

    No,  Clamshell mode needs external power.

  • Is there a switch I can use with thunderbolt display and 2 computers

    I have the new Mac Mini and the new Macbook Air plus the 27 inch thunderbolt display.  The majority of the time, I will be using the thunderbolt display hooked up directly to the Mac Mini.   I have already tested the theory that if I turn off the Mac mini, I can use a separate thunderbolt cable to hook to the port on the back of the display and to the port on the Air and have it show up on the screen.   Many people said this was not possible as the port on the back of the display was only unidirectional and to be used for thunderbolt accessories like hard drives.   It actually works quite well and so at the very least, I can leave the cable plugged into the back of the display and use it with the Mac Air if I turn off the Mac Mini.   At least I don't have to remove the cable from the Mac Mini and move it over to the Mac Air.  I actually looked at the Kanex switch which would do what I wanted it to do, but unfortunately it says it will NOT work with the thunderbolt display.   Apparently it only works with the Cinema display.  Does anyone know if there is a thunderbolt switch out there?
    Thanks

    Thanks, Clinton....that's what I was thinking too.   On the upside, I don't have to remove the actual thunderbolt display cable going to the back of the Mini, I just have to keep a cable in the output port on the back of the display for my Macbook Air.   Then I just turn off the Mini, plug the cable into the Air and I'm ready.   What I find interesting though is that the Kanex "looks" like it will do exactly what I want it to, but apparently it will only work with Mini Display port like that found on the "cinema display".  Maybe one day........     
    Thanks again!

  • I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Tunderbolt Display, is there any way to either power on or wake from sleep mode using an Apple USB keyboard pluged into the Thunderbolt display?

    I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Thunderbolt Display, is there any way to power on the Macbook Air using an Apple USB keyboard plugged into the Thunderbolt display? I would like to be able to keep the Macbook Air in the Archbook dock and not have to open it to power it on?
    Thanks for any advise.

  • 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,

    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.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:

  • What are the advantages of using a thunderbolt display

    I'm looking for information and possibly consumer product reviews of the thunderbolt displays, but I keep getting pointed to asking a question on this site, so I'm asking it.

    I have a Thunderbolt display hooked up to my Retna MacBook Pro and I love it. Not only is it a really nice display but it functions as a dock for my MBP. I have a keyboard, ethernet, USB scanner and firewire drives all hooked into the monitor. When I get to my office, I plug in the power (supplied by the monitor) and the thundbolt connecter to my laptop and I'm ready to go. It is designed to be a dock and monitor in one, but Apple doesn't market it that way. Having built in speakers and iSight is nice as well.

  • Adjust thunderbolt display camera

    I am using a Thunderbolt 27" display with a new Mac Mini and updated OS.  I look very pink using the thunderbolt built-in camera.  Is there any way to adjust the color of the picture so I have more natural skin tones?

    Give iGlasses a try - https://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/ - I don't recall the cost but I THINK that they have a trial period. Oh, it's $20... and, yes, they do have a free trial period.

  • The thunderbolt display does not charge macbook pro,

    there is a magnetic adapter for the power cord...do I need to find a new cord for the display or is there a problem with the mac book pro?

    The Thunderbolt Display has two cables to connect to the MacBook Pro. 
    The first is the Thunderbolt cable, identified by the lightening bolt on the connection.  This carries data to the display for either passing through to other devices connected to the display (in this way, the display unit also acts as a hub for other devices (USB, Thunderbolt or maybe FireWire), or to the display unit to put on the screen.  This cable does NOT charge the MacBook
    The second is the power cable.  The current version of the display (as of April 2013) contains the power cable to connect to the older type of MagSafe connections on the MacBook, and an adaptor to connect to the newer MacBook's (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina).  You have to (of course) use the the adaptor or not depending on how old the MacBook is.  It is an akward thing, but you have to use the adaptor for the newer Macs and not for the older Macs (sounds backwards, but that is the way it is).
    The older versions of the display (mid 2012) do not come with the adaptor and you have to buy one if you have a newer Mac.  Or you can continue to use the power brick that came with the Mac.
    Soon, (hopefully - but not soon enough IMHO) Apple will release a new version of the display which will (in addition to being thinner, lighter, use less power, etc.) will contain a power cord that will fit right into the newer Macs and you will need an adaptor if you have an older Mac.
    Sounds kind of confusing, but if the power cable from the Thunderbolt does not fit your Mac, you have to use an adaptor.

  • How to connect your hdmi tv to the Thunderbolt display?

    Hello,
    I've just got my Thunderbotl display which is really nice, but i have question and i hope this would be possible.
    How to connect an external display, in my case the HDMI tv to the thunderbolt display?
    The connection would looks something like this:
    Macbookpro (late 2011 15') -> Thunderbolt cable -> Thunderbolt display -> Thunderbolt to hdmi adapter -> HDMI Display
    But currently i cannot get any screen on my hdmi display (it remeans black).
    p.s. runing latest version of OS X
    Thanks

    See secrions 14 and 16.
    If your MacBook Pro does support two external displays you may be able to use your TV with a Thunderbolt display.  While a Mini DisplayPort adapter won't work plugged directly into a Thunderbolt display, it will work if a Thunderbolt drive is connected between the displays.  This reportedly works with Seagate GoFlex drives.  LaCie drives don't work plugged into Thunderbolt displays.

  • 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!
