Thunderbolt Display will not wake up after sleep!!!!!!

It seems like a lot of us are having an issue with the THUNDERBOLT DISPLAY opening after it goes to sleep. I have the display connected to a new mac mini server and I can not get it to wake up after it goes to sleep unless I unplug the power or the thunderbolt cable and then plug it back in.

Thunderbolt Display-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Same problem here and I need help. Mi TB started going blank out but the sound stills. I updated my OS with Maverycks and it fixed... for a short period of time. Then now everything is the same. I believe is a problem with the computer/monitor sleep but I tried the advice above and nothing happened. Ive seen other comments with the same problem and there´s no solution apparently.


I´m in México and I didn´t get an extension of the warranty, because I though Mac wasn´t come up with issues like this. Now I have to get another thonderbolt, sadly. I´m a graphic fdesigner who strongly needs this screen. 😟 PLEASE IF YOU HAVE AN ADVICE BEFORE I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER ONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

I won't know for a few days, but apple technical support just had me do the hibernate mode 0 (zero) as a fix for my two TBDisplay problem with waking up from sleep mode. He didn't recommend that I change the setting for use when I'm on battery power. Though it sounds like the issue is different if you are on battery and still connected and using external displays. I normally would not use that mode of operation. We will see if this fixes the problem. But Apple should fix this problem instead of doing this work around plan.

So far with the hibernate mode set to zero, my 2 TBDs are waking up. But this is day one, so I will need a few days before I'll say this issue has been "worked around" by Apple Support.
