Ditto. I've also has some badly behaved apps that keep their fingers in
the flash drive even after I have closed the document I had opened from
there. So sometimes I had to quit apps before the Mac would let me eject
the drive.

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
