[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1310341, member: 134861"] Yep, and besides, I have Applecare on both. But I fixed the problem finally. What they neglected to tell updaters is that the Thunderbolt Display has to be orphaned. That is, nothing can be plugged into any of the input ports on the back of the display. Kind of tough if that is the way you connect to the 'Net, since the Air doesn't have a native Ethernet port. I finally found a blurb that said that any mounted drives have to be removed, but it still didn't work. So I pulled out everything - ethernet, keyboard, mouse and time machine, cranked up the Airport and downloaded again through the wireless. It worked. So. Anybody with a new Thunderbolt display is hereby warned. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
