[QUOTE="ThiccDaddyTiz, post: 1813590, member: 401786"] Thanks chscag for the reply, I'll give another thunderbolt cable ago anyway as i've just purchased a few new thunderbolt cables for the company. So i'll open one up and see how it goes. All Cables we've used so far have been genuine apple also. The only thing I can think of is it's some form of bug that has slipped through the cracks. I don't know if it would be related but i did notice that the Apple Thunderbolt Displays that had a firmware update released for them titled "Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update v1.2" and to quote the Apple website this is what it addresses. "This update improves reliability when connecting devices to the Apple Thunderbolt Display, and addresses a rare issue that may cause the display to go black. " It seems that that is the exact issue I am having with 2 seperate iMacs. I wonder if this is a bug in some of the iMacs that are able to do target display mode and Apple have not gotten around to resolving it? I have noticed a handful of people online and in forums who have had the same issue with no resolution. [/QUOTE]
