I have a Macbook Pro 16inch M1 from 2021 and it is not connecting to my Studio Display (screen flashes) Hello, I have a Macbook Pro (Apple M1 Max, 64 GB) I bought the Studio display very recently. When I connect the thunderbolt cable the following happens: my MacBook screen goes black and the studio display gets an image then my studio display goes black and my MacBook gets the image. This happens all very quickly, in milliseconds, so my screens are both flashing. I do however see a message appearing: Unable to connect accessory I think, the screen flashes too quickly to really see it. However, when I connect the MagSafe power adapter to my MacBook it works. Problem solved. However, I also have an older Macbook pro from 2018, which doesn't have MagSafe, so with that Macbook the studio display doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Kind regards

MacBook Pro Clamshell mode dysfunctional My MacBook Pro Does not function any longer in clamshell mode with external monitor. As long as the Macbook is open , the external display works normally, but as soon as I close the MacBook, the display goes dark, and the message " No Signal , Entering the power saving mode shortly". This does not appear to be due to the monitor or the connections, since everything is fine as long as the MacBook is open. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It does not change with restarting the computer.

Make sure the MacBook is turned on and then try replacing the cable.
