MacBook Pro + Thunderbolt display vs VMWare Fusion

Configuration:

-New MacBook Pro

-New Thunderbolt display

-Keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB ports on Thunderbolt display

-VMWare Fusion 4.0.2 running a Ubuntu 10.04 VM

If I turned the laptop without the screen plugged and then plug into the screen, the keyboard and the mouse (connected on the screen) do not respond. I need to unplug the display and plug it in again, and then, usually, the devices will work. I'm going back with Apple support, and he got up to what they wanted me to ship everything back - they have not seen this before.

I then had a hunch that merger (which is still running) may cause a problem. Of course - if I stop or suspend my VM before connecting the screen, everything works fine. So I strongly suspect a bug in Fusion.

Anyone else seeing this?

VMware Fusion 4.1 addresses a compatibility issue with the USB devices connected via a Thunderbolt display. You will be prompted to auto-update the next time you restart VMware Fusion (or manually check the updates).

    If I understand this correctly:

    7 is the Thunderbolt port power devices connected?

    Yes. A Thunderbolt port powers if this Thunderbolt port is part of a device that is connected to a power outlet or is running on battery power. If your Thunderbolt devices have their own power supply, you must connect the power supplies to them for optimal functionality. If you use Thunderbolt devices that get their power that from the Thunderbolt bus, computers running on battery power will be draining the battery faster.

    Then, if the screen is connected to a MacBook Pro power will be provided BUT is a supplied cable (w/Display) for the connection of the screen with the MBP, or is it necessary to buy it separately?

    According to http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/, it can provide 10 W. That's enough for hard drives and other small devices.

    Displays generally take 100 W or more. So, you will want to connect the screen on the seizure of power.

    Hi James,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you are having these problems with your MacBook Pro. I'm a bit ambiguous on the screen exactly who you see when you log in, but according to your description it looks that your computer may be involuntarily go to sleep. If this is the case, you can find the troubleshooting steps in the following article useful:

    If your Mac does not sleep or wake up when expected - Apple supports

    As mentioned in this article, another possibility on laptops like the MacBook Pro is that the screen closed sensor may be triggered unintentionally. There is a small magnetic sensor in portable computers and sometimes, being close to things like briefcases magnetic closure or magnetic jewelry can cause him to think that the display was closed, which then puts the machine in a locked sleep state. If possible, you can test the issue on an office open without any potential source of interference.

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro retina display bug?

    I don't know how to submit a bug report, so I post the problem here. Can't move the mouse outside the window of computer virtual and the movement of the mouse is extremely slow and erratic when you enable the full resolution for the retina display and set the size of text and other items to 200% in the control panel to Windows 7. Everything works as it should with 150% but as soon as you change to 200% (which is a must work on a MacBook Pro with the retina display) the problem starts immediately. I have a MacBook Pro with the retina with Mac OS X 10.8.1 and Fusion 5.0.1 and Windows 7 with SP1. Everyone has noticed this annoying problem?

  • Retina MacBook Pro + Cinema Display = 25% of the images visible when open

    Every time I opened a picture, I see only 25% of it. I type Cmd +, Cmd - to zoom in & out each time. This is ridiculous. I think the problem might have something to do with the fact that the retina display has twice the density of pixels. It's just a theory, but I would bet money that he is the culprit. I just realized that the problem does not exist when I don't have my external monitor plugged.

    Here's what I see on the monitor external 27 ":

    Screenshot 2014-10-11 11.11.02.png

    Then after hitting Cmd +, Cmd-, that's what I see (this web form has reduced this image, but you get the gist):

    Screenshot 2014-10-11 11.11.07.png

    Can someone tell me please how to avoid this maddening problem? I contacted the Support Adobe technique, and they cannot help me with this problem. They gave up; they simply ignore my emails at this point.

    I use the latest version of Photoshop CC on a fairly new 15 "MacBook Pro retina with a 27" no - Thunderbolt Apple Cinema Display.


    Thank you

    Matt

    Thank you! I was able to reproduce the problem by using a Setup dual monitor as you have described. I logged it in our database of bugs for a developer can take a look. Looks like Photoshop is confused when it comes to the scaling of the image correctly to fit the screen while you work with a retina and monitor non-retine. The only solution I have at the moment is to use the command-0 to force the image to fit the screen. I know that's not a great alternative to what you already do, but it is a minus button.

    I also found that I got better results if I switched to tabs - sometimes opens the first image zoomed in, but after that, they would hold on the screen. If you can fit it into your workflow you can try it.

  • CS4 on macbook pro retina display

    Hello, I just downloaded (purchased about 2009) CS4 on macbook pro (2015) with the retina display.  Perhaps because CS4 is old, when I ope PDF using acrobat pro that came with CS4, PDF content looks blurry (the same PDF document opened by a snippet that came with macbook pro shows very strong police force).  Do you know what I can do about it?

    Also, do you know if I can improve more current CS4 CS5 or CS6?  How to upgrade my CS4 is?

    Thank you

    CS4 is old enough that I don't think that there is nothing you can do to improve the display

    CS5 is no longer marketed, and CS6 no longer upgrade pricing

    In fact, as much as I know, same-CS6 won't do well on a modern screen 'high resolution '.

  • my macbook pro retina display will not download large files

    I had this problem happen to me twice before involving 1gig zipped files or files unzipped pretending to be finished in the download bar. It shows for example 309,5 309,5, the loading bar does not disappear. I try to click on it and it tells me "this son is still downloading. So I get in my downloads folder, click on the contents of opened, I look for the file and click on it like that, it gives me the possibility of reactivation of the zip folder, I do this, then it gives me an error message saying "files are not completed. (I give him hours and hours to 'finish loading' and then try again)

    Then... This has been recently. The first file I wanted to download was the Creative Design Premium Adobe (I waited half a day until the next day for this download click again on it) that is given to me directly in the downloads section of the adobe.com site. I need to reinstall the software due to an unknown error (YOSEMITE LIKELY) anyway... I start downloading, it ends - but not really. Something is happening. So I try it on Chrome, same problem. So I try it on a PC - made. No worries.

    So far I have not seen this question arise with someone else.

    The zip in question file is .7z and 335.9 MB file and the creative design premium is a 3.76 GB .dmg. I am running Safari on a

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end of 2013)

    Start in Safe Mode, no doubt also resets of LANDAU and SMC , and then restart your computer normally.   See if the problem clears.

    If there is no anti-virus or anti-malware tools installed, any improvement in performance, of cleaning cache, optimizers any system or other such tools add-on, remove all those who, according to the instructions of the specific package.   Try the download again.

    Try downloading on a different network.   If it is a company or a network of offices, there may be filters and monitors in place, which can cause problems with the downloads.

    If all else fails, after the release of Etrecheck, and we will look to the configuration and what is installed.

  • Possible problem with the Macbook pro retina display 13 "

    Hello, good afternoon:

    I just bought a new Macbook pro 13 '' two days ago Retina and everything seems ok until I see a rare noise which is like a whistle of low volume. This happens regularly, but sometimes every 10-15 seconds. I detect it only when the laptop is in a vertical position for example when I'm laying in bed watching a movie. Can someone tell me what that could this noise be? In its normal position, my macbook does no rare noise...

    Thanks in advance,

    EXB

    Not to hear a noise of a rMBP from the end of 2012 13 "and have never heard strange noises.

    Because yours is new and under warranty, you can consider taking it to a local Apple store and have them diagnose what might be the issue.
