I’ve done everything from resetting the PRAM on MacBooks to unplugging the whole display from the electrical outlet. I’ve tried different combinations of restarting and shutting down, with and without the cables plugged in and with and without peripherals plugged in. Restarting doesn’t work most of the time, nor does plugging or unplugging things. So what’s a guy to do? I find that nothing helps. Solved by unplugging and sacrificing a goat Waking the MacBook back up just results in a laptop on as if there’s no display connected at all. Other MacBooks - both Pros and Airs - have similar problems on those displays.Īpple’s support forums are an explosion of complaints about these issues: hard drives don’t connect because the USB ports just drop off, audio doesn’t work, or the case of my latest MacBook Pro, the screen just disconnects after it goes to sleep.
I’ve tried this at Apple Stores, I’ve tried this on a handful of other Thunderbolt Displays in offices I’ve worked in. It’s not just me, and it’s not just this display. Plugging it just makes the display come on with a visual, but nothing else works. It’s so bad I rarely take my laptop with me anywhere for fear that it’ll take 30 restarts and a religious sacrifice to get the audio to work again. I rarely get sound to come back through the display’s speakers when I restart or plugin.

I’ve had several MacBook Airs and now a MacBook Pro attached to this thing and half the time the connected peripherals, like external hard drives, never show up. But the thing is a horrible USB/connection hub and an increasingly worse display in the age of increasing Retina display devices.
I’ve had my current display since they came out a few years ago. But with Apple’s switch to Thunderbolt connections, the displays are worse. The former Cinema Displays were really great. I’ve owned two displays from Apple over the years, not counting a couple of iMacs before I switched to laptops. My current work setup involves a 13″ MacBook Pro attached to said 27″ Thunderbolt Display. A beautiful, impressive, pain in the ass. Apple’s 27″ Thunderbolt display is a pain in the ass.
