Device Removal - not properly put away dialogue box

During the past weeks I am constantly faced with this dialogue box appearing whenever powering up. I have run Disk Utilities' 'repair disk' on both the internal and external disk drives (no repairs necessary) and 'repair permissions' against the internal drive and the La Cie 500GB drive. However, I cannot run either verify or repair permissions on the La Cie 320GB drive as these options are greyed out. Also this 320GB drive is often slow to power up after having been put to sleep.
How do I (a) get rid of the annoying dialogue box and (b) enable the verify and repair permissions options for the 320GB drive?

Hi John,
However, I cannot run either verify or repair permissions on the La Cie 320GB drive as these options are greyed out.
Those options for Permissions only exist for drives that have OSX installed on them.
Likely the 320 GB is having problems, could be it's Power Supply, (common LaCie problem), or just about anything.

After eject get: Device not properly put away msg

Hi,
I just solved a problem for my wife. This posting is to help any others in the same situation:
I have a new cruzer usb flash drive. It seems to work well, but I see an unexpected error msg. The sequence:
1) Insert the usb flash drive
2) New icons appear on the Mac desktop: Cruzer (disk drive icon) and U3(DVD icon)
3) Finish use of the drive, close applications, etc
4) Eject the drive using finder
5) Wait a couple of sec, then unplug usb drive from system
6) Problem: then an error message about Device not properly put away is shown by the Mac.
Cause and solutions
This is caused by the usb drive mounting TWO "drives", the "cruzer" drive and the "U3" readonly software drive.
Solutions
1) Ignore the error msg since it concerns the read-only drive.
2) Since the usb drive has two "drives," easy solution is to eject both. Then no error message. Just drag the cruzer disk icon to the trash/eject icon. Then repeat for the U3 icon; then unplug the usb drive from the system.
3) A more complete solution is to re-format the usb drive entirely, replacing its two drives with one. This will also give you access to more of the usb drive. Remember that if you reformat, EVERYTHING on the usb drive will be deleted.
Regards,
Larry

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Thanks for the solution. I see this in 3rd party, such as Motorola, phones as well. In that case though, I would be leary of reformatting the memory card.
The USB is one solid state drive, and it is configured so that it has two partitions.
Your terminology may confuse some folks, especially those of us with a different primary language.

Delivery has not not been put away

HI Friends
When iam trying to do dlivery the system is throwing me an erroe message
Delivery has not been put away/picked completly.
E VL 609 is the message.please help me in this regards.
Thanks& Regards

Hi
I hope, while creating the Billing document, you are getting the error and not during Delivery creation.
You have to check from the document flow, up to which activity you hvae completed.
If the status of the "WM Transfer order" is "Open", then you need tp confirm the Transfer order through LT12.
Then ensure that you have completed the PGI, before creating the Billing document.

Backup Device not being "put away" properly.

I use a WD 1TB hard drive for my time machine backups. It's designed to sleep with and wake up with my mac. Now, whenever, I close the lid of my mac without ejecting the time machine drive, I always get an error message that "Data in the disk might be corrupted as the disk was not put away properly". What should I do to ensure that this message does not appear?
In Windows, I used to disable "Write Behind Cache" for that disk. Is there something like that here? I'm new to mac. Please help.

I would suggest you unmount the disk (drag it to the trash - no it won't be deleted!) before closing the lid.

LR4 does not auto launch import dialogue box after one card is imported.

hi all,
I upgraded to LR4 from LR3. Running it on a new iMac with mountain lion. LR4 says its up to date.
If I'm importing images from multiple cards LR4 will auto detect the first card and bring up the import dialogue box, import the images and then eject that card. When I pop in the next card there's no automatic import dialogue box and I have to go to the drop down menu to get it to launch. After the second card imports it doesn't auto eject and I have to do it manually. Auto detect is checked. Eject after import is checked. And the LR4 app is open (not trying to launch LR when I put a card in).
I did some searches with no luck so if there is a thread on it please send me the link.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Rikk,
I've never used Apples Image Capture app but I checked the app anyway and didn't see anything in its prefereces for detecting media. I also haven't installed any of the camera manufacturer's software as it's a new machine.
Right now, with no apps open, inserting a card into my reader doesn't open any app like iphoto etc (which is how I prefer it).
The card does show up in my finder and on the desktop.
I did a migration assistant from my old computer to get cs over onto the new computer so lightroom 3 is on this machine but it's not activated.
In lightroom 3, when it was open, any time I popped in a card the import dialogue would appear. It lightroom 4 it will only detect the first time a card is inserted upon opening the application. So if i have 6 cards to import it will only auto detect and launch the import dialogue for the first card and not any of the others.
any other thoughts?

Search not working in open dialogue box.

Why is it that after nearly TWO years the search function in the open dialogue box is still not working in inDesign? Why can it work when in the PASTE dialogue box but not the OPEN dialogue box? I discovered this fault years ago and wrote about it in length but it has yet to be addressed. Is there anybody else that is bothered by this?

Doc Maik.
I'm on a MAC. The dialogue box that appears when you OPEN a file. The search command in the top right corner (spotlight) does not work. Has not worked since the upgrade to CS6. See attached.

Bad "Device Removal" notice

All I did was wake from sleep, and I got:
"! Device Removal
"The device you removed was not properly put away. Data might have been lost or damaged. Before you unplug your device, you must first select its icon in the Finder and choose Eject from the File menu."
But I didn't remove any device. The volumes mentioned in the system log following were connected (firewire 800) throughout and test ok. I do have Spotless on and the volumes mentioned are (like several others) therein marked "indexing disabled" with auto off and no existing index. Note in particular that the messages "media not present" refer to volumes which are physically connected and function perfectly before and after the sleep.
I hope somebody can tell me what's going on. (This has suddenly cropped up.)

"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.

How to remove dialogue box insecure start up item disabled?

Just wondering if someone could assist in information regarding removal for good of a dialogue box that appears on start up. I just click ok to
remove it . Once I start the computer up again ,there it is ...HELP PLS

You've wandered into the forum for Apple's defunct office program 'AppleWorks'. You would do best to post your question in the forum applicable to your operating system:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os

Open dialogue box in Lion is not supporting drag and drop files (UPDATE)

This is freaking me out. Because now in Lion you can't drag and drop file from the desktop (and other folders!) to open dialogue box. It was most usefull function in Mac OS X. Why Apple kill usabillity?
Access to the desktop is not a problem (command + d), but if the current file is located deep in the hierarchy of folders, it becomes a big problem!!!
Dear Apple, please fix it as soon as you can.
UPDATE: Omg, I found the problem, it works only if I drad and drop file on the bottom panel, not in all open dialogue box area:

Interesting, this is the second time today I've seen this one come up. It does work, drag and drop works like crazy everywhere here. What does console say when it happens (or not, in your case)?

External device will not mount

I have a USB 1.0 recording device that mounts without problem on my iBook, but not the iMac. This has not always been the case.
A few weeks ago, I shutdown the iMac forgetting the device was mounted. On the restart an error message appeared telling me the device was not properly unmounted. Since then, the iMac does not recognize the device when I connect the USB cord directly to the iMac. I suspect an alias of the previously unmounted disk is still in the system (probably a hidden file), however, I have not been able to find it.
What I have done so far: I have used WhatSize to reveal the hidden files. Another post about a similar mounting problem mentioned that /Volume/Folders might hold an alias, however, I was not able to locate it.
I started up the system in Safe Mode. No mounting.
I ran Disk Warrior on the drive - a few minor problems were resolved. On the restart, no mounting of the device.
As I said initially, I can mount the device on my iBook.
Appreciate any input. Thanks

To open /Volumes and see if there is anything there, just use the Finder's Go menu item, slide down to "Go to Folder" and type this:
/Volumes
Click the Go button and new window will open with aliases to all mounted drives. If you do not have the device plugged in there should not be anything there having to do the device. Also, the only things that should be there are aliases to your currently mounted drives. If there is anything else it should be removed.

Is Device removal of a disconnected device possible?

Good day Experts
I would like to inquire whether the FULL device removal of a disconnected device is possible or not. I have been trying to attempt it, but i have been encountering an alert that says "device removal not possible, device disconnected"
Is there a check or some sort of way in which we can remove a disconnected device?
Id appreciate your help
Thank You

Hi,
To disconnet a device in a disconnected period you need to do the following settings in SPRO-SAP Utilities-Customer Service-Process Execution-Disconnection/Reconnection-Define Processing Variants for Disconnection Documents.
For the processing variants you have used for disconnection, check the box "DevRemDespDisc" (RECN_REMOV). This will allow to disconnect the device in the disconnected period.
Hope it will help you.
Thanks.

Problem with inconsistent print dialogue box/Aperture and Elements?

I just purchased an Epson r1900. In Aperture everything is great! I can pull up icc profiles and the new print dialogue box features all the epson papers (glossy, Matte, Art, CD) in menus with submenus. But in Photoshop Elements 6, I get an old dialogue box which only shows the old Epson papers-Photo. Photo glossy, matte. There is no way, for instance, to choose Velvet art-and that is what I am using. It is driving me nuts. I have thrown out preferences, updated drivers, updated applications, fixed permissions...you name it. same thing in Apple Pages. Why am I not seeing the same dialogue box? Is this not OS controlled? The R1900 is always chosen. ( I do have an older printer as well, but definitely not selected.
any guidance appreciated!
thanks
Nancie

I have the same problem since I installed Snow Leopard. I have upgraded to the newest canon driver for my Canon Pixma IP5200 printer. Calibrating seems to no longer have a reliable impact on my prints. Also Aperture under SL will not save my preset information for media type, paper source or print quality in the print settings.
I am assuming this is a bug related to SL and hopefully will be addressed soon... It is very frustrating as I have waisted a lot of time ink and photo paper in the days since I have moved up to SL
When will we see a fix?
