Thunderbolt display does not charge macbook pro

Same problem here. Running Mavericks. Thunderbolt display will not charge MacBook Air. MacBook Airs own charger still works.

Correction: I wouldn't have thought this was a major issue.....

Reseting the SCM solved the problem. Also helped with an iPhone sync issue I was having.

what is the SCM and how do you reset it?

I rather think that this may help you.

Good luck!

I keep getting an error when I try to post a link to the page on the Apple support website, but try searching for the article there and all will be revealed.

Had the same problem as everyone here. I live about 2.5 hours away from the closest Apple store so repair time isn't a quick thing for me. I took my TB display into the "genius" bar, they kept it for a week while they replaced the tb/power cable on the display itself. They tested it there, said it worked fine, I plugged it into my laptop and of course, battery was full so couldn't "really" test. Got it home, ran the battery down some and of course, it will not charge connected to the TB display.

Plugged in an older MBP (I have a MPBr) power cable, took the adapter off the display power cable and of course, it did not work either.

Called Apple AGAIN, explained AGAIN what was going on, told them about my testing...it's obvious to me that it's the adapter. I think I got a "new" technician...he was fairly clueless.

Long story semi short, they are sending me a new adapter, of course after they place the hold on the credit card until I send the original one back. I hope this works.

Pamski.... FYI. Best buy sells the 10$ adaptor too if you have one closer to you. I hate that store and would never make a large purchase there, but for a 10$ adapter I would.

personally I think it is a batch of duff adpaters on the TB displays. But my TB originally worked then it stopped charging until I bought a new adapter. I wonder how long this one will last?

Agreed Mikestrivens. Mine worked as well. This new one is great...but buying a $10 backup at BB just the same...since I never know.

Same here; a new MagSafe adaptor resolved the issue.

I don't think Apple look at the forums

IMO that would not only be silly but also a missed opportunity to get firsthand product feedback and manage customer sentiment.

The Magsafe 2 adapter is not covered under warranty. It will be considered a DIY repair and you will be charged $19.13 for the new adapter and shipping.

I know this first hand.

Yes. It's under your own warranty. Walk into store. Buy one. Leave store. Take it out of package. Put defective one in package and then tell them it doesn't work and return it. LOL.
