• 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

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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".

• 2015 Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz > 16GB RAM 1 TB > PCIe SSD > overheating with Thunderbolt Display 27 "> Constant MAX RPM fan speed

  Hello community,

  First of all, I want to congratulate Apple on the construction of such a laptop well. It is a luxury product that is clearly desired by most people, which I understand very well that he's a new owner. But entering the heart of the problem that I face outside this machine being an external engineering masterpiece.

  Professional background:

  I'm a computer engineer / scientist / programmer by profession. I am currently employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a Senior Consulting Engineer level IV for their BIG Data Software Division. Yes, I program (Java and c#), scripts (powershell, batch and SQL), solutions architect, design, to test software and debugging, implement large enterprise-level solutions ranging from a cluster of 2 mirrors servers-to-of thousands of servers to multiple clusters (even from a perspective of work station of the missions of deployment from 200 KB - to - 50 jobs in the world) work with SQL databases on a daily basis, working with storage devices (SAN mutli-million dollar NAS and DAS), provide an infrastructure troubleshooting and problem resolution, have 8 international recognised certifications, a degree of master of science and involved with concerts on the side as well as build computers as a hobby. My computer knowledge is vast and my RESUME goes beyond what I have briefly described. It is important that I give this background to demonstrate that my level of computer knowledge is beyond the scope of this post.

  Laptop Usecase:

  Recently I bought mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 "2.8 GHz Intel i7 quad core, AMD dedicated GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 1 Portable SSD PCIe TB from an authorized Apple dealer. To maximize the beauty of this gem, I also bought a monitor Thunderbolt Apple 27 "due to its ability to offer a dedicated gigabit NIC and additional USB connectors. Basically, the screen acts as a central docking for the laptop and offers additional i/o that does not have the laptop (somewhat a disappointment that it's called a 'PRO' for laptop - this can be discussed in an extra thread).

  I will mostly use the laptop for tasks related to work as operating on dozens of remote servers via RDP, using office 2011 and 2016 Lync, Eclipse for Java programming, access the HPE intranet for related tasks at work, set up conference calls, connection with clients remotely via WebEx or TeamViewer and typical everyday computing. For fun, I'll use the laptop to compose music through Logic Pro X, browsing the Web, doing work with Photoshop/Lightroom/and other products Adobe, Web browsing, Email, Youtube, NetFlix, coding, and other basis for computing tasks.

  Question:

  I am primarily an engineer Windows to the heart and don't work well with Unix/Linux, so forgive me if certain acronyms and terminology is slightly outside when it comes to the OS.

  The question that I am currently facing is how HOT and high cell phone VOICE gets during very little use. It seems that, given the 27 "Apple Thunderbolt connected display cause heating and the fans to be excessive and loud. 'A little' work around the question I unplugged the lightning poster power adapter and have dedicated the trendy laptop adapter. It 'a bit' reduces the amount of heat generated, which reduces the speed of the fan to be a little less quiet. However, the noise level of fans and heat is not reduced enough to convince me!

  After the control process during the time of the laptop being extremely strong and warm, I noticed the only vivid process is the process of "kernel_task". However, I debunked this theory by leaving the unit to return to a normal state, that required me disconnected the Thunderbolt display, and the process ran again without all the negative effects of heat and noise.

  So, why Apple would create a laptop that indicates the external monitor is fully compatible, can support up to 2 external displays with no problems and provides a support for this configuration, if there are any other problems when connecting?

  
  

  * Please do not provide responses that I have received a bad laptop or a bad monitor. Appears not to be the case because when I am doing absolutely nothing on the machine, heat is minimal and the fans are 'enough' quiet, even when connected to the Thunderbolt display. However, even simple web browsing on the Thunderbolt display forces do MAX out fans and heat is generated quickly.

  I love this laptop. His elegant, fun to work on, is luxurious and is a potential item that meets all my needs. But I just can't justify spending more than $4 K on a configuration that will cause problems and significantly reduce the lifetime of the laptop.

  1 should I return the laptop and love at first sight appear and waiting for Skylake edition which will be released in the coming months (energy consumption reduced, rising in power and performance, and (?) one possible different GPU that excels much better than 'crap' AMD GPU?

  2. or should I paste and see if a solution or resolution is proposed to the issues that I am experiencing?

  3. I see the same problems all over the internet. Anyone else here has the same problems?

  4. why Apple would invest in this GPU 'cheap' for such a machine power? AMD? Really? (< (less="" than)="" $150="">

  5. How can I host a Lync call with clients when I hear more the laptop that I can hear them?

  My thoughts:

  I spent $6 000.00 on the construction of an incredible machine at home. It has an Intel i7 5960 X Octa-Core processor, nVidia GTX 980, 64 GB RAM Corsair DDR4, 12 TB of disk 7200 RPM, a 512GB SSD for the OS and temporary storage, power 1200 Watt, card reader 5 in 1, a player Blu Ray optical blazing fast, liquid cooling, a Premium Asus Sound Card, the card mother 'best!' on the market (I finished this statement that fans just went back to MAX RPM0 - maybe) because I'm throwing my personal build an Apple forum?), a mechanical keyboard, mouse laser with 12 K dpi and five monitors 24 ".

  I was willing to spend that money on a laptop of luxury that I can travel with, but is it really worth what I'm going through? Also, others on the Internet said they have returned their Macbook Pro for the same model without the dedicated GPU and no longer meet the problem. BUT why someone would invest $3 K in a machine without a good graphics card? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

  PLEASE, I BEG YOU! Can someone help APPLE me this question?

  If I am not convinced to the contrary, Apple then lost me as a customer forever and return to Windows, I oppose the $4 500.00 I spent. If I am convinced to stay, then Apple will get $4K out of me at all times every 3-4 years, I invested in most any software.

  Also, if I can post a video showing you what I'm listening to, then you will be in shock. Honestly, I'd like to keep this machine, but I need help to understand what is happening and what can be done to correct the problem.

• Want K203TX: Display will not wake up

  This is a new laptop.

  I did nothing about it, other than updates of Windows install and create recovery discs.

  • I put the option "turn off the display of" 1 Minute.
  • IMPORTANT: I put the brightness screen completely to zero, the lowest setting possible, by using the keys on the keyboard or the brightness option in Windows.
  • Let the laptop computer idle for a minute, the screen can accommodate as it should (the laptop is put to sleep after 30 minutes, only display that sleeps, the laptop is still awake).
  • Move the mouse, press the keys on the keyboard, the screen doesn't come back to the top. The computer is still in place and in the course of execution-i can switch keyboard backlight On / Off with the keys, but the display will not wake up.
  • Press on the "brightness +" button on the keyboard, the screen wakes up. It is the only way to wake up. The other option is to press on and hold the power button, force a stop down and restart the computer.
  • This occurs ONLY when "brightess" is set to the lowest level. If the brightness is set to again one level above the lowest, the issue cannot be reproduced. Move the mouse or press any keyboard will wake up the screen in this situation.
  • The two graphics Intel HD 5500 and GTX 850 M drivers are up to date.
  • BIOS is updated as well.
  • Battery / sector makes a difference. If the display brightness to the lowest, the screen will ALWAYS fail to wake up, regardless of which power source is being used.

  What should I do? Please don't tell me this is a minor problem and I have to live with it.

  There are so many problems minor with this laptop, and all these add make a total piece of cr...

  My almost 5 years probook with a second generation core i3 processor and no discrete GPU is better than this all-new 5th generation core i7 + laptop GeForce GTX.

  I'm starting to regret this purchase. I should have gotten another probook. Thought that offers want a better "bang for the buck", and now I think it was a huge mistake.

  Anyway, no idea how I can get this fixed? Looks like a right driver problem? Or is this a hardware problem? Can we with a trial of mobile Envy this out and tell me if the problem can be reproduced on their platform? It cannot be reproduced on my Probook.

  Thank you.

  Hi @johnwinchester,

  I'm so glad to hear you're solves the problems you had! The key is that you are now without a problem.

  To answer 2 questions;

  1. to my knowledge, if you purchased the HP 3 year extended warranty on the spot with a cover against accidental damage, then it usually starts from the date of purchase. Be sure and check out I would suggest either go this site check your product warranty and/or contact us.

  2. I'd say creating new recovery disks. The old drive will not help to you on your product. You have the ability to create new disks of recovery of the product without any reported problems. I wouldn't take the chance, I just came out with the old and turned to the future.

  I hope this has helped!

  Have a great day!
