Continuous USB Device Removal Messages on certain Flash Sticks since 10.5.2

I have run into a problem with both my MacBook Air and Mac Pro since running 10.5.2, and this was not fixed in 10.5.3:
Most Flashsticks appear to be continuously removed and replugged over 5 sec intervals. I continuously get the "Device Removal Warning." These worked before, and do not have the problem running under BootCamp on the same machine, or being assigned to VMWare. An example is an Emprex 4GB stick, which was not cheap, when bought. They also do not have issues on Dells, or Macs running tiger!
These are plugged directly into the system, no hubs or cables in between.
There are other brands that do not have the issue.
Has anybody run into this? This is very annoying.

I'm seeing that issue with an Adata 8GB stick (www.adata.com.tw).
That same stick works fine on my MacMini (ppc), Dell 700m, and Lenovo T60p.
In all cases, I'm always connecting the stick directly to the systems.
The failure happens at various times after insertion. Sometimes Finder doesn't event display the contents, sometimes I'm able to copy 20MB before the copy hangs. In all cases (dozen times) on the MacBook Air, it never worked reliably.
The MacBook Air USB port is not (completely?) busted, as it works fine with my Maxtor OneTouch USB2.0 external disk.
Applications -> Console shows the following messages, starting from device insertion to "Device removal" error message:

Device Removal message for internal hard drive after coming out of sleep

Hi,
I have search the forums and all the info I can find seems to just refer to external hard drives, how ever the problem I am having is with the internal drive.
When my G5 comes out of sleep mode, shortly after, I get a Device Removal error message then I loose my second drives and have to reboot for them to return. The drive is a 500 GB divided in two partitions, Mac OS Extended (Journaled), in slot B.
I have used Disk Utility and Tech Tools to check the drive, and the drive passes with no errors. I can't check file permissions as the drive is not a start-up drive.
This problem just started not long after using a USB thumb drive in the front, maybe just a coincidence or something went haywire after ejecting the USB drive?
Thanks,
Bill...

What brand is the drive?
Do you have a USB hub to try?
Have you checked the disk manufacturer's website to see if there are any updated drivers or firmware available and/or needed?
DaddyPaycheck wrote:
I have two Western Digital drives in the computer, both partitioned into two drives. One is a 1 TB the other a 500 GB. The 1 TB drive is the boot drive and I installed it about 2 months ago. The 500 GB drive, the one that is disappearing, I installed it about 6 months ago. Both drives pass Disk Utility, and TechTools testing (that is before the one disappears).
I do not have a USB hub, I have a DVD/RW connected via Firewire, and I have a USB external 320 GB to use for whatever.
No, I didn't think to check the manufacturer's web site for updates as the drives work fine, just the one 500 MB drive out of the blue I get the Device Removal message. And I am using the G5 at this moment replying here, and so far today I have connected my camera via usb with out issues.

IMac says usb device removed insecurely?

my iMac keeps saying a usb device was removed insecurely but I'm not adding or removing anything at the time - the spurious message comes up randomly every 5 minutes or so

Try resetting both the SMC and PRAM.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

USB devices deactivated message, even though none connected

I'm getting the infamous warning message, that One or more USB devices are drawing too much power and the device/s is/are being deactivated, etc. etc.
Even though I have no USB devices connected.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have a 2007 Core 2 Duo 2.16, just updated to 10.6.8.
To see if it was a hardware problem I installed Windows 7 Ultimate as the only operating system and I didn't get any messages re. USB problems.
So I wiped the HD and installed Snow Leopard. Immediately started getting the USB messages, one after the other on screen.
I've also switched off Bluetooth and the iSight, in case that might help re. power being used by USB.
Any way to solve this, without swapping logic boards?
Could I just continue like this, and use no USB devices? If so, can I turn off the warning messages so they don't appear every 20 seconds?
Probable hardware problem? Or software?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Suspiciously similar situation here. I have a Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 with Mavericks. I (successfully) installed Windows 7 on Parallels Desktop few days ago and now I am constantly getting this "USB Devices Disabled..." message, even though nothing is plugged into the USB ports. At some point both of my ports were not working but I reset PRAM and SMC and now it is just the right side port that is not working. It does, however, power some devices like external discs. When an external disc is plugged into the right USB port, the "USB Devices Disabled..." message, once closed, does not come up again until the moment the disc is disconnected (not valid for the left port, though).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Envy Touchsmart 15-j105sa Continuous USB Device Dropout and Reconnect

New Envy Touchsmart 15-j105sa running an up to date version of Windows 8.1. All HP driver and Windows updates completed prior to installing software and other USB devices except for USB WiFi adaptor and software.
USB 2.0 HDD keeps disconnecting from the port and then re-connecting. This happens continuously about once every 30sec. It re-connects after about 10sec and then disconnects again after about 30sec. When connected everything seems to be working fine. Access to the HDD is OK, it shows normally in Device Manager and Safe Disconnect.
I have uninstalled the USB drivers and restarted. The problem persists. I have powered the USB HDD externally. The problem persists. I have tried connecting to 3 of the 4 USB ports. The problem persists. The USB 2.0 HDD works normally on other Laptops. When data is being transferred the dropout does not occur. It appears to be associated with idle time on the USB HDD.
I don't get the problem when I attach a USB 3.0 HDD. It stays connected with no dropout. Flash drives don't have the problem.
I also have a similar issue connecting a USB Alfa WiFi Adaptor.
UPDATE: The problem is related to an External Combo Drive. 2.5" Sata to USB /eSata HDD External Enclosure. As long as the HDD is being accessed then there is no dropout. As soon as the disc becomes idle I get a cycle of disconnects and reconnects as described above. I would like to understand the cause of this issue because it will help solve the massive connect/disconnect hunting that I get with my external USB wifi adaptor. Once the Alfa Wifi adaptor gets happy with its connection the hunting stops and it behaves normally.

Are you using the charging USB 3.0 ports or the standard USB 3.0 port to connect the device?
Charging ports have a + next to them. It really should not make a difference, but it might with your keyboard since it does require more power then, perhaps a mouse.

Device removal message keeps appearing

Hi, I have a 20" iMac, OSX 10.5.8, 2.33 GHz intel core 2 duo, 4gb Ram machine.
When I recently started up my machine , I started to get the "device removal notification" window popping up(the one that says a hardware device wasn't removed correctly and there may be damage, etc).
It keeps appearing about once every ten minutes or so, even though I have neither plugged in or removed any devices. I tried restarting the machine, but it still continues to appear every once in a while.
Any ideas?
thanks
Scott

Keep getting Device Removal message

I have an external drive connected to my computer. Every 5 minutes or so I get a message that a device was removed then the device disappears from the desktop and then immediately appears again. I am not removing any devices. Why is the device getting ejected on its own? This is very annoying. Anyone has any clues?

I'm almost certain it's not an Operating System issue. This sounds like a hardware issue.
It's probably one of 6 things, shown in order of most likely to least likely:
- bad cable
- failing power supply on the external drive
- failing electronics in the external drive enclosure
- bad port on the external drive
- bad port on the computer
- failing electronics in the external drive's hard drive
The first thing I'd recommend is that you try using a different cable to connect the hard drive. I once had a bad FireWire cable, and experienced the same issue. The tiniest vibration could cause the cable to lose the connection.
If you try a different cable and experience the same issue, there is a good chance it's the power supply. You'll have to try an identical power supply, so hopefully you know someone who has the same drive, or you have another one. You can also contact the manufacturer to get a replacement.
If it's not the cable or power supply, you can investigate the other options, but those are the most likely.

Deleting UserNotificationCenter to get rid of "Device Removal" messages?

Someone online said to do this to get rid of those annoying messages when I rip out USB drives (seriously, it never corrupts them). Does anyone know if deleting /System/Library/CoreServices/UserNotificationCenter.app will mess anything else up?
And please no comments about how those messages are useful and how I need to eject stuff. I have never corrupted a flash drive this way. The only way I have corrupted one was with Windows Vista.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"Device removal" message

Hi,
I'm getting the following message even though I don't unplug my external firewire HD (lacie): "The device you removed was not properly put away......"
I've tried with a new cable and the same happens. I've tried in a different port of the external HD and the same.
What should I do?
Thanks

Hi Ko be;
As best I can tell on my disk drive the logic card in the external enclosure momentarily stops communicating with the computer which causes the computer to think the disk has been removed.
I didn't feel like typing all of that the first time so I shortened it down. I am sorry if my shortening that down cause you to not understand.

Disable Device Removal Message

Any way to do it? BTW I know why it's coming up, and I don't care if I lose data or not. I just want it to go away automatically (without me manually ejecting devices).

If this message is showing up enough to cause you this much grief either something is seriously wrong with your Mac or you are doing something seriously wrong to it.

Bogus "Device Removal" Alert for SDcard Reader

Using the same SDcards, same reader, same USB hub as I did before the 10.5.8 update, I now get a "Device Removal" alert after a period of time once an SDcard is inserted. It varies from just a minute or two to around an hour or more. When I click off the alert window the card remounts right away but the alert always comes back after a while.
Something tells me a PRAM zap might fix it, but is anyone else seeing this with 10.5.8?

More Info: After resetting PRAM and a reboot, still the same symptoms except this time, after the "Device Removal" message came up. the lights on the reader flashed for a while and then the following alert window appeared: "Disk Repair The disk "NO NAME" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible." Never saw that one before. This alert finally went away by itself, another "Device Removal" alert appeared, and now it's continually mounting the card then showing the removal alert, every few minutes.

DEVICE REMOVAL MESSSAGE

Hi,
I recently unplugged my ipod 30gb video after updating and charging it via my g4 mac. I accidently unplugged it before ejecting it in the correct way. However, since doing that I have continued to get the device removal message, even when I am not in itunes and am just simply surfing the net.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance

Cheers Tom.
Have taken your advice and plugged it back in (ipod) and ejected it in the correct way and the problem appears to be rectified, so fingers crossed it will stay that way!!
Thanks again

I've bought a new USB flash memory. I plugged it in the USB port then a message come out: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.... Please help...

I don't know what to do. I plugged that USB in both ports but the same message came out. I charged my laptop and the same thing happened again. The surprising thing is that I tried plugging the USB in my cousins laptop (Macbook Pro) and it worked!!! but not with mine. The USB flash memory made by PNY. Please help...

There are two types of USB 2 devices - low power which consume 100 milliamperes or less from the USB bus and high power which consume up to 500 milliamperes. Your flash drive is probably a high power device and is overloading the USB bus of your computer. (Some notebooks can support only low power USB devices.)
I know that my MBP's USB ports support high power devices but I've come across reports that not all high power devices will work on the MBA and that might be the case for your flash drive. My guess is it has a large capacity? 32GB or more?

Error message: "Remove USB Device from printer."

I have an HP Photosmart 309 a All-In-One. It is attached to my desktop computer, which utilizes the Windows XP system. I've owned the All-In-One for about three years. I do not use the All-In-One -- or this computer -- very much. (I mostly use my laptop.)
I have not made any changes to this computer and/or All-In-One in quite some time. This error message is new. I do not have a USB device attached to the printer. Even with the error message displayed, the All-In-One allows me to print, but it will not allow me to make a copy or scan. How do I make this error message go away? What's wrong with my All-In-One? Thank you for your help!
