Actually, tha'ts' normal. when you eject a dmg via the finder it remains in the disk utility for some unknown reason. What I do is just cmd e on the thing in diskutility or failing that I try and hit delete. this has been an issue since I believe the snow kiddy, how ever I was fairly new to the mac so never thought of it as abnormal. but yeah try this. you will see a lot of dmgs in the disk utility that you did eject from the finder. I guess so it you can remount it should you want to, I dunno. On Mar 27, 2014, at 7:39 AM, Christopher Gilland <ch...@clgproductions.com> wrote:
