Hello Esther and others,
My thumb drive is not in use when I try to eject it. COMMAND E
is not working. What else can be going on?

Re: MBPKeyboard]
Hi Ezzie and Others,
The usual reason that a drive fails to eject is that it is still
in use. This could be either because a copy or write operation
is still going on and transferring data, or because you have
navigated into the file structure of the drive in Finder to query
contents. I do find that Command-E works to eject drives
provided they are not in use, but there's nothing wrong with
following either Ricardo's method with the context menu or Gigi's
checks that the device is not active. I've retitled the subject
line to better reflect the content of the discussion.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi,
I guess I'm old fashion. lol. I prefer to bring up the context
menu with VO shift M and just press enter on eject.

Hi Y'all.
Command E does not always work for me, especially on thumb
drives. I was told by Apple that if you are writing to the drive
and it gets ejected too soon, you can mess up your thumb drive.
Therefore, these days I always check to see if my drive is on my
list of active devices before I take it out.
Regards,
Gigi

Hello list:
When I try and eject a USB flash drive, it will not eject. I
know I've got
it selected.
However, when I eject one on my sister's account, it ejects
properly. Is
there a setting I may have modified on my account that I
shouldn't have?
Thanks,
Ezzie Ez Bueno
