Nov 4, 2013 4:57 PM in response to Manja1973by wayne.robinson,I also seem to be having exactly the same problem.
I've only noticed it today because my 27" Display is at work and my MBPr was esspecially empty.
However, the battery display looks like

Nov 12, 2013 8:20 AM in response to Manja1973by liamsellar,Hi I've tried another magsafe2 connector with no joy. Oddly if I connect an older Macair via the magsafe1 connector without the adaptor that charges !.
When I swap back - nothing !!

Hi I've got exactly yhe same problem with macbook pro retina 2013. I think this issue started since installed Mavericks =/
Any solution?

Nov 23, 2013 10:51 AM in response to Manja1973by Mikestrivens ,Yes I have a similar problem. Sometimes the battery symbol has the plug inside and sometimes a wavy line (not sure what the difference is). If I shutdown the computer it then seems to charge but if I just put it to sleep it doesn't seem to charge. The Screen seems to work fine otherwise.

Nov 26, 2013 12:11 PM in response to Manja1973by Johnny SiTech,I have a Macbook Pro retina 2013 and it will not charge off my Thunderbolt display with adapter. I can plug it in and it will power but not charge the computer. I have to use the another power supply to get it to power and charge. I just updgraded from a Macbook Pro retina 2012. It would charge the computer and I did have it running Mavercicks before I upgraded and it did charge. Not sure if it is Mavericks or the new Macbook. Seems to me like the Thunderbolt display will not juice a new Macbook Pro Retina 2013.

Nov 26, 2013 12:56 PM in response to Johnny SiTechby Mikestrivens ,Hi, both my MacBook and Thunderbolt Display are less than six months old and used to charge perfectly. This problem for me only started with mavericks upgrade.

Nov 28, 2013 1:32 AM in response to Manja1973by NiekZ,I've got exactly the same issue with a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 (i.e. connected but not charging)
Fiddling about with the Magsafe2 connector/adaptor solves the problem but it remains a flaky conection that regularly generates this issue.

Dec 11, 2013 12:41 PM in response to Manja1973by sftech,Also noticed the exact same issue after upgrading to mavericks.
This is going to sound stupid, but the solution that appears to be working for me was to take off the magsafe adapter and re-attach it. Mine gets pretty hot while charging, so I'm guessing that it might have disabled itself or something.
Who knows… Could flake out again in a few weeks.

Dec 25, 2013 5:50 PM in response to sftechby Copenhagen4,I've got the same problem with a two year Thunderbolt screen and Mac Book air. It won't charge from the screen but stays at whatever charge it was when you plugged it in. Occassionally it tops up but very rarely. I think it is connected to the Mavericks upgrade too. None of the fixes above worked for me.
Apple - Please get a fix unless someone else has any ideas.
Thanks

Dec 27, 2013 7:22 PM in response to Copenhagen4by Tigervision,Can one of you on this thread be so very kind to test one thing for me.
I have a new rMBP late 2013. Using a TB monitor from 2011.
Mine seems to charge fine.
However, when I close my computer lid.... the TB flashes and comes back on showing my desk top.
I have NO external devices such as trackpad or keyboard hooked up.
The only thing hooked up is the thunderbolt cable and the megasafe (with megasafe 2 adaptor).
Can anyone with a new retinal 2013 MBP please hook thiers up to a TB and Megasafe2 adaptor and close your MBP lid... does your TB monitor flash and come on or does it go to sleep (screen turned off). Manja, sounds like you have same set up... would you or others try for me and report back.
Thanks!

Dec 28, 2013 1:40 AM in response to Tigervisionby Mikestrivens ,Hi Tigervision
I have a 7 month old MBP retina and TB display. Hooked up as yours is but with external keypad and track pad.
When it is on mains power with the magsafe 2 connected and the plug (not the wavy line - still don't know what the difference is) showing in the battery. If I close the lid of the MBP the TB stays alive so I can continue to use. I don't think it is meant to go to sleep as the MBP would by itself as it was designed to be able to continue to use. With the upgrade to Mavericks the two can be used as separate monitors.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Dec 28, 2013 6:02 AM in response to Mikestrivensby Barry Wilbraham1,I have the 27" Thunderbolt Display linked to a Mac Mini i7 Server. I've never had a problem with this whatsoever. It charges my MacBookPro as it should first, and every time. I'm only posting this to prove it works and I've done nothing special with it at all. And yes, I'm running Mavericks so you can discount this.
