Thunderbolt display won't wake up

[JP-F]

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 27 inches Thunderbolt display that I use as single display when I'm at home.
Since I upgraded to Maverick, the external monitor doesn't wake up from sleep. I tried opening and closing my MacBook to make it switch displays, but it doesn't work. Of course, trying to type (I have a wireless Apple keyboard) doesn't work either. I have to unplug the monitor and plug it in again in order for it to work again.
Anyone knows what else I could do ?
Thanks

I have exactly the same configuration (MacBook Pro 2011, Thunderboldt 27', Apple wireless keyboard) and exactly the same problem: MBPro does not wake up from sleep.

After opening the MBPro I have to unplug the Thunderboldt-wire and then to plug in it again - its the only way that it works.

Seems to be a bug of Mavericks
Hope Apple will respond immediately ...

Interesting. I have a MBA 2013 connected to a Thunderbolt display and don't have this issue. Actually the wake-up speed has improved over the previous OS version. So maybe this is a device specific issue?

2011 MacBook Pro here, Thunderbolt display is working fine.

Have you tried all the usual stuff recommended (restart, SMC & PRAM reset etc?)

I have the same problem with MacBook Pro 2012 (MD102), Thunderbolt 27' and external WD My Book Studio firewire drive. It just doesn't wake up.
After I unplug the cable and plug again it wakes and I have a message "Eject drive before disconnecting or turning it off". It seems like Maverick tries to eject external drive before go to sleep. I never had that before

@ cambookpro:
Thank you so much for your reference!!!

I did the "Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)"
Here is the description: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US

AND NOW IT WORKS !!!

It worked too

Resetting the SMC solved my problem.
Thank you so much !

I was wrong !

I had thought that my problem is solved. But I was wrong1 Two or three times wakes TB as planned, then it is over and I have to unplug the TB cable and re-plug.

In the "Apple Support Communities" I read that this error with TB seems to exist for years (it means, that this is NOT a bug of Mavericks!), but Apple not yet found a solution until today.
