Intel Mac :: Spontaneous Ejection Of Usb Drive With Improper Ejection Notice?
Jun 4, 2012
i have been having some problems with a JMicron 0x2329 usb enclosure, on a new iMac. Sometimes it suddenly unmounts, giving the "improper ejection" warning. To which i usually reply out loud- "No i'm pretty sure i didn't- you did." It doesn't make any difference, it refuses to take responsibility for it's actions.
I guess the first thing is... is it the computer, the enclosure, or both? It's not the cable.It's not the directory, diskwarrior gave it the green light, and i optimized it anyway.disk utility finds no problemsInside is a hitachi 1TB, hfs journaled drive1 partitionI've stopped and started journalingI've turned off ownership.It's been plugged into the computer, and a powered hub.It's intermittent (it appears that way anyway) the computer is as follows:
Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac12,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 4 GB Boot ROM

Just picked up this iMac, and it was freshly loaded with Mac OS X 10.2.3. Boots up just fine, gets to desktop normally.
However, I can't use the Apple keyboard to eject the combo drive that is empty (no CD inside). The Eject menu is greyed out, and even when I drag the Eject icon to the window for favourites, it is greyed out, so I can't eject the drive.
However, when it boots up , if I hold down the mouse button, it does eject the drive.

Had a quick question. I'm on my third 27" stock 3.06Ghz imac that was replaced yesterday. The good news is that so far it doesn't seem to have any of the problems of my previous two 27" imac's. There is one thing though. A couple of seconds after pressing the power button to bootup there is a brief mechanical sound from the dvd drive like a quick ejecting sound even though there is no cd in the drive. My first 27" imac dvd drive made the sound but the second imac 27" Imac I had didn't. Is this sound normal? Would be curious to know why two out of the three 27" Imac's I had make that noise.

I've had an WD My book 500 GB external for about as long as I've had my macbook about 1 1/2 years. No trouble with it at all, until yesterday. At some point either the power got cut or the cable was pulled out incorrectly it got disconnected from the mac. Thus resulting in it not mounting now. I've tried disk repair and shutting down the macbook and restarting...plugging in after everything is started. but to no avail. I am a photographer and about 25% of my photographs I don't have backed up anywhere else. So if I can't get it to work. I need some way to get the information off and reformat. or get it working correctly.

Anyone have suggestions? I have a single 1.8ghz g5, 1gb ram, 10.4.10. I have a maxtor OneTouch III USB 2.0 200gb drive attached to it.
I can not seem to eject/unmount this drive. Every time i hook it up I just have to end up pulling the USB plug or turning the drive off suddenly to get it to "eject" but then i get the improper device removal error/warning message.
I have tried dragging to trash, I have tried apple E (which is what I usually do to any device) and I have tried going into disk utility and ejecting/unmounting from there as well. no dice.

I just received the 13" MBA last week, and it's crashed nearly every day since then (one kernel panic with that black dialogue window telling me I need to reboot; all the other times it just spontaneously freezes out of nowhere and my cursor / keyboard doesn't jog a response). I called Apple this morning and the guy said he knew nothing about it, took me through some tests, and said hopefully it won't happen again. It just did.

Last week I bought a new model 15" MBP which spontaneous reboots every hour or so. Yesterday I returned it and received a new one (including new power supply etc). This one however does the same. Yesterday evening I started a Time Machine restore which was stopped in the middle because of a spontaneous reboot.
I resetted everything (SMC, PRAM, etc.) and tried again. Still reboots after apprx an hour. It doesn't run too hot (67C, 2100RPM). What can be wrong?

I was copying files to my external hard drive (firewire) and finder froze and relaunched. I got the generic error saying that my "device was ejected improperly". Now when I try plugging in my hard drive my Macbook Pro (2008) it won't recognize it. I've tried:
1. Using USB instead of Firewire
2. Checking Disk Utility
3. Checking System Profiler
4. Resetting PRAM
5. Resetting SMC
6. Using Data Rescue 3
Nothing seems to detect my hard drive.

my mac pro does a Improper shutdown on games and shutdown on sleep mode. I have made all the reset (PRAM and SMC). I run on OS10.6.5. I have tried two different video cards (8800GT and HD 4870) same crash here. The apple hardware test find nothing. So now I'm thinking that it's probably the power supply.

I'm running OS X 10.6 on mid 2010 MBP. Got bullseye notice to update a game app the other day, but update requires OS X 7 so I can't update. I've still got the irritating bullseye however. I deleted the app (didn't play it much anyway) but I've still got the notice.

I have started to get an annoying Terminal window showing up when I boot up my Mac.A command of some cription needs to be completed before I can quit Terminal and allow the startup process to continue.
I have no idea what this command is about because I do not understand Java but it slows everything down and I'd just love to get rid of it.I don't think it is anything important and most likely just a simple bit of script will do the job.

I've searched through the forum and found similar errors but couldn't find a similar match to my problem.
I have a 2.5 year old Macbook. I lightly dropped my powered Iomega 1TB external hard drive about 2 feet down on to carpeted flooring. It didn't come unplugged from the power source or the usb. When I looked at my screen I got the USB Over Current Notice saying the device is drawing too much power and the blue light that use to come on when the usb was plugged in on the external hd is not on either. I have tried multiple restarts with the device in and not in and both fail. I have plugged my phone and WD passport as well (non powered) and they are both fine.

Every time I restart (close and reopen) Safari, I receive a pop-up stating "Your Safari extensions have been migrated."
When I look my my extensions in Safari Preferences, they have all been disabled... (and most aren't even there!)
I will re-enable the extensions, and everything is good... until I close/exit Safari and open it again, when I receive the migration pop-up and have to start all over again.
I am running Safari 8.0 and OS 10.10.1

I have a 2.2 ghz Macbook, and whenever I plug in the USB connected to my iPod into the side USB ports, I get this "USB Over Current Notice" and it deactivates the USB Hub. It doesn't do it every time, but it does it more often than not. It will do it on both USB ports.I don't think it's a prob w/ my iPod b/c the connection was fine on my old computer. Any way I can fix this? Should I spend the $ on a Genius appt?

A weird thing is happening with Mail.app. I'm on a PPC Mac with 10.4.11. Every time I go to a folder other than Inbox and then return to the Inbox there is a couple of emails threaded together with the subject line: Fwd: Delivery Notice Status (Failure) If I click on one of these emails, the email is blank including no headers showing up at all. Again, the emails only appear if I go to another mailbox folder and return to the Inbox. They do not appear if I stay in the Inbox.

My internal 1TB hard drive on my iMac is dead and I don't have the money to replace it at the moment. I have everything backed up on an external 1TB drive using Time Machine. As a workaround for the time being,Is there any way I can install the system on the external drive and use that as the boot drive without erasing the Time Machine Backups? It seems to me I would have to have two partitions for the external drive, one for the system, and one for Time Machine. But is there any way to add a partition without erasing the existing one with Time Machine only on it?

OS X 10.4.3 IMAC Intel Core Duo. I backed up my HD on an external drive so I could upgrade to Snow Leopard. I wanted to test that I could boot from the external drive and selected it as my start up drive. When I did a restart I got the Apple and the turning gear and then suddenly a black screen with this on it:
"May 28 22:23:11 Launched:com.apple.nibindd:respawning too quickly throttling, exited system abnormally bad system call too many failures in succession I have no name!"
I tried several dozen times with no luck. I think when I made the copy of my HD on the external HD I may have neglected to make it "bootable" (moving too quickly). My internal CDROM is busted so I use an external CDROM. I can't boot from it at all with the proper start up buttons pushed. It keeps trying to boot from the external drive. If I turn the external drive off and try to boot from the external CD I just get the grey file with the ? in the middle of it.
I tried using another external HD I have with OS 10.4 on it, but it won't recognize it either with fan, alt, shift, delete pressed at start up. My internal drive (a Seagate 2 tarabite drive) works great, but how do I reset it as the start up drive when I'm stuck with this black screen. One more thing, when I try to reset PRAM I don't get a second gong.
