• Thunderbolt display don't wake up since I installed Sierra

  I have a Mid-2012 13 "Macbook Pro with a Thunderbolt display. After that I installed MacOS Sierra, my screen often wakes up not when I hit the mouse or the keyboard. I can usually solve the problem by simply unplugging the display Plug and then plug it back it - very annoying. I searched for solutions to this problem on the web and tried everything to reset NVRAM and SMC, reset the display, memory even deleted some plist files obsolete, but the problem persists. Someone at - it similar problems, of the solutions.

  Same problem AGAIN!

  This error has been there before after an update of macOS, seems he's back.

• Thunderbolt display is no longer detected

  I have a late 2013, MacBook Pro and a 27 inch Thunderbolt display, bought in September 2014. I use the screen without problems since then. But today the display is no longer detected. I got the MacBook disconnected from the screen, which has been briefly disconnected from the sector. (It was a power outage scheduled as it happens, but I don't see how that makes a difference).

  Now, when I connect display of the power of the lead part works fine but the screen does not illuminate. To the search, in the report of the system, the Thunderbolt Bus shows two Ports both with "no device connected". I have a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter and shows.

  I tried all the usual troubleshooting steps: disconnected power for a few minutes, resetting the NVRAM, reset SMC. A ran Diagnostics from Apple on the MacBook - all very good. I don't know what I can do. The Thunderbolt connector is slightly warm to the touch, which I think is always the case.

  Everyone you have other ideas please?

  Hey donnysp,

  If I understand correctly, the external display Thunderbolt is not recognized by MacBook Pro.  Looks like you already have a troubleshooting. I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.
  
  

  Check the connections on your Mac and external screens:

  • If you use an Apple laptop computer, try to connect the AC adapter.
  • Make sure that the power cable from the external display is connected correctly and that your display is enabled.
  • If you are using a Mac Pro (end of 2013), make sure that your screens are plugged into the right ports.
  • If you use a hub of display, Cabinet or "KVM", try to connect the video cable from your screen directly to your Mac instead.
  • Unplug the video cable where it plugs into your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
  • If you are using a video card, unplug the video adapter on your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
  • If you use multiple video cards to connect your screen (the cards are "chained"), testing connection of the screen by using a single adapter if possible. Some video cards may not be linked together. For example, a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter may not be connected to an adapter DVI to HDMI.
  • If your screen has more than one video connection, see if you are using another connection on the display works. If possible, check if you use a different view or a different adapter works.
  • Try using another cable that you know to be in working condition. Check with the manufacturer of the screen to make sure that you use the cable they recommend.

• Recurring problem Bluetooth when I connect to Thunderbolt display

  Since upgrading to OS X El Capitan, when I reconnect my MacBookPro with a Thunderbolt display (Magic Mouse and Apple keyboard) Bluetooth devices do not work and I have to unplug and re - a SMC.

  Bluetooth cannot be activated and turn it back on, it just does not respond. So I always have to close all programs, and re - a SMC.

  So that work, but it is very annoying, how do I solve this problem of disconnection?

  I have OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.3 MacBOok Pro retina early 2015 with all updates.

  Thank you.

  I also have this problem on a Macbook Pro retina end of 2015.

  Bluetooth preferences shows:

  Cannot open the Panel preferences 'Bluetooth' because it is not available to you right now.

  To display this Panel of preferences, you will need to connect a device to your computer.

  And Bluetooth appears as "not available":

  

  I ran Apple Diagnostic tool and it told me that I had a defective Bluetooth (hardware problem) and instructed me to contact Apple for a replacement. And so I did.

  But the second Macbook, I got them also had this problem. Resetting the SMC is just a temporary workaround.

  I suspect it has something to do with the thunderbolt ports. They seem to cause some failure to bluetooth connected/disconnected...

  Also, the problem is present in Bootcamp (10 Windows) installation as well. The Bluetooth module appears like installed but with drivers hurt in "Device Manager".

• Thunderbolt Display Firmware update could not complete.

  Hello.

  Am myself a brand new Mac Pro recently and I'm loving it. Hooked up to my old TB screen which is unused to cause a few months the all-in-one cable is broken. Not much, I bought a cable TB, and used only to plug it in and it works fine.

  That is, until I went in the App Store and noticed a firmware update for display among all other system updated. I do not think that anything of it in time and just continued to download and install all updates in bulk. Well, after all has been said and done I got the popup saying he could not apply the on-screen since it must route the cable all-in-one to do. Not a problem, I thought, it's not that important to me it is installed. But now after whenever I restart the machine, I get the annoying popup even in my face, no matter what I try to do to remove it. I'm fine with not getting updated, I just want this bitch popup go away!

  I am a very advanced user, so I am not against the orders of terminals and/or editing plists performer or that you have to solve this problem. I don't know where to look and I thought this would be my last ditch effort fixing before you say screw it, wipe the system and start over. If no preview of this would be useful. Thank you.

• Connection 12 '' Macbook to Thunderbolt display does not work (USB - C for HDMI / Lightning)

  I have connected a retina 12 '' Macbook to a Thunderbolt display via two adapters, and no video is coming through.

  Here is what I use:

  1 USB - C for HDMI: (Apple USB - C to HDMI adapter)

  2 HDMI to Thunderbolt (Monoprice adapter)

  Any ideas what's happening? The Thunderbolt display is without a doubt, since power is to come via USB when I plug my phone directly on the back of the monitor. The Apple adapter works because I could try to connect directly to a LG monitor with HDMI ports.

  The present model 2015 MacBook 12 inch Retina does not support the Apple Thunderbolt display

  what I read.  The other models Apple Cinema can work if they are used with correct adapters

  as other brands. Some adapters support the audio, while others do. Note there is

  limits for the specifications of display supported; This can limit their usefulness if it is not better configured.

  Special adapters and cables can allow to configure some display options for use with the MacBook.

  The graphical support through MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro varies with the specifications.

  The absence of a Thunderbolt port, use of adapters to provide only what it can bear MacBook 12 plug-in software component.

  and the mini-display port cannot connect or transfer at frequencies Thunderbolt usage views. The

  cure should be taken as built-in support for this; If the adapters could carry signals. A new model

  could understand such an improvement; but there is nothing of this specification in the Apple Store again.
