When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

Error message 310 is happening on my mac book and I am unable to set up my new itouch.
If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.) -

Where do I find my device that I've plugged into my usb port?
I have just purchased a MacBook Pro. I have never had a Mac before so I'm not familiar with correct terminology but....when I plug something into my USB port (camera, iphone, whatever) where do I find it??? I know the connection is made but nothing comes up on the desktop to show how to access the device? I can't find it in the finder, file, or anywhere.
Your System Profiler app in your Utilities folder will tell you what is plugged into your USB ports.

Why does my computer tell me the "Disk was not properly ejected" when waking from sleep mode?
I am a real "Newbie" to Mac OS. I have a new iMac 21.5" running OS X Lion. When I awake the computer from sleep mode with the spacebar on the keyboard, I get the message "The disk was not ejected proper, etc.". Iss there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mike G.I am one of those who had experienced this kind of problem. My former Time Machine disk used to automatically eject itself when my iMac sleeps, hence upon waking up my iMac. i always get the error message that the disk was not properly ejected.
From what I was able to gather from my experience, until the time that I found a workable solution, I think I can say that the problem is most probably caused by the incompatibility of certain external drives with how the iMac operates when on sleep and upon waking up. Some external drives are just not able to cope with how the iMac tries to remount a connected disk after it wakes up from sleep. There are just some external drives that cannot continue to be mounted after the iMac wakes from sleep. There are just some external drives that are not responsive enough. In other words, the existence of the problem lies with the type of external drive you are using.
My former Time Machine disk, the problematic one, was an Imation M300 Apollo 1 TB external disk. It unmounts everytime my iMac went to sleep, but does not remount after waking up the iMac. The disk will continue to be unmounted until I physically remove its USB connector and replug it in the iMac.
I replaced my former Time Machine disk with my current one, a Transcend Storejet 1 TB. And the problem went away. The Transcend disk continue to be mounted after the iMac is woken up even from the longest of sleep. I have even the energy saving option "put the hard disk to sleep..." checked. The Transcend disk comes with a Y cable, i.e. it has two USB connectors, but I only connect the one for both data and power--and it still remains mounted even after waking the iMac from sleep.
The sad realization, however, is that since there are only some external drives that are not able to work with the iMac, no matter how many those some may seem to be, it will be highly unlikely for Apple to itself fix this kind of a problem.
I, therefore, make the following recommendations:
1. Check first if your problematic disk has a firmware upgrade available. In some cases, the firmware upgrade may be enough to make the disk more responsive to the iMac waking up.
2. If there is no firmware upgrade available, check if your power/data USB cable is properly working.
3. If your power/data USB cable is in order, and the problem still persists, I think it is inevitable that you have to replace the problematic disk with a newer one that could respond well with the iMac's wake/sleep operation. With what disk will you replace your problematic one? I can only recommend from my personal experience the Transcend disk I mentioned earlier. You may also search this forum on other brands of disks that may also work.

Error message "disk was not properly ejected" while syncing to iPod Classic
Hello,
I am having a terrible problem with my iPod Classic. All was fine until this morning. For some reason now when I try to sync iPod I receive several error messages. The iPod will start syncing slowly then I receive "Disk was not properly ejected". At this point the iPod disappears from left side of iTunes. The iPod still says "connected". After I click "ok" on error another error message appears saying "iPod cannot be synced, disk could not be read from or written to".
Please help, my music is all I have as I am wheelchair bound.To be clear, I'm unsure whether or not iOS 6.0 is the latest iPod Touch software but I did get this error message when I attempted to update:
I hope this helps. Thank you! -
I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!
You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network. -

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing? -

Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -

When I plug my ipod shuffle into my usb port, it no longer shows as a "device" over to the left. This makes it impossible to to transfer a new playlist to my ipod. Any suggestions?
Hi deaconspeaking,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try looking for the iPod below the Search field in iTunes. If it doesn't show up below search, the second article provides troubleshooting tips that should help you out.

Camera not working when plugged into certain USB ports
I just purchased a Creative Live! Cam for use on my dual G5 running 10.5. When I plug the camera into the USB port on the front of the Mac, it works fine with iChat.
However, when I plug it into the back of the monitor (older style Cinema display), it says it is in use by another application.
Any idea how to resolve this? The cable isn't terribly long and the machine is several feet away from the monitor, so I'd like to use the ones on the monitor. (Obviously it gives a power-error message when plugged into the keyboard, which is normal).
ThanksSeems like it is a USB 2.0 or not problem

My computer freezes when plugging into my usb port
I just got and ipod shuffle when i plug it into my usb port a few seconds later my computer freezes and i have to restart
Try a different USB port. I had that issue with my shuffle once and using another USB port resolved it. Here is a great iPod Shuffle Support page. Keep it handy for anytime there is an issue or question regarding your shuffle. It's very thorough. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/
Good Luck,

Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?
You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.
