External drives won't dismount despite the fact that all apps are closed.

I've got 2 external drives and suddenly I can't shutdown my computer b/c the drives will not dismount. I keep getting an error message "The drive 'hello' is in use and could NOT be ejected. Try quitting apps and try again"
There are 0 apps open. Everything has been closed for over 10 minutes. ?

is a little app that will tell you what is holding the drive. Usually Spotlight or time machine related in my case, even though neither is doing anything at the time. I usually end up logging out and in again to be able to eject the drive,

    My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If successful, you should see two HDD icons,  Select the recovery partition (on the right).
    From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
    Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
    If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
    Ciao.

    I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
    Try this
    download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
    download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

  • My trial is about to expire despite the fact that I have a Creative Cloud subscription

    Since installing the beta I get a message saying my trial is about to expire despite the fact that I have a Creative Cloud subscription. Also I have two Adobe IDs and despite trying to change the default it keeps switching back to the one that doesn't have the CC sub. Also in About Muse it says I am on v3.1 Build 8, is this correct?

    Any help on this from Muse staff would be appreciated

    Hi lorrelaws,
    Do you receive that error when you try to sign in via Reader? If so, try signing in via the web interface. Did that do the trick?
    Let us know how it goes.

  • TS4162 I have been able to upload videos to vimeo from FCPX in the past. However, now FC gives me a message that my password is incorrect. This is despite the fact that my password allows me to sign into the Vimeo website. Any ideas?

    I have been able to upload videos to vimeo from FCPX in the past. However, now FC gives me a message that my password is incorrect. This is despite the fact that my password allows me to sign into the Vimeo website. I have reset my vimeo password, restarted final cut and restarted my computer. Any ideas?

    Log in to Vimeo and change your password on the Vimeo site. Then update your FCPX settings for Vimeo to reflect the new password.
    I think Vimeo required this in light of the Heartbleed hack.

  • This code executes normally in VS2014, despite the fact that an inline member function is not defined in every TU in which it is odr-used.

    Consider this code:
    header.h:
    #include <iostream>
    class A{
    int i;
    public:
    A() : i(101) {}
    void print();
    void g(A&);
    cpp1:
    #include "header.h"
    inline void A::print() { std::cout << i << '\n'; }
    int main()
    A a;
    a.print();
    g(a);
    cpp2:
    #include "header.h"
    void g(A& a) { a.print(); }
    Note that the member function A::print is defined outside its class with the specifier inline. The code executes normally in VS2014, despite the fact that the member function is odr-used in cpp2, but it is not defined in this file.
    I found the following quotes from the C++11 Standard:
    9.3/3:
    An inline member function (whether static or non-static) may also be defined outside of its class definition provided either its declaration in the class definition or its definition outside of the class definition declares the function as inline.
    3.2/3:
    An inline function shall be defined in every translation unit in which it is odr-used.
    7.1.2/4:
    An inline function shall be defined in every translation unit in which it is odr-used and shall have exactly the same definition in every case.
    The two last quotes above don't speak exactly about a member function but I believe they should be applied in this case too, as the inline specifier is a hint for the compiler to expand the function inline at the point of call. If we assume the compiler
    does this inline expansion, how does it know the definition of the member function, while compiling the cpp2 file?

    C++ is supported on many different systems, with tools provided by many different vendors. Microsoft's linker happens to be pretty smart about merging identical blocks of code. Other toolchains may use linkers that weren't designed with this in mind,

    Frankly I don't understand your statement above. What would be the difficulty for any compiler*that is already compliant with 3.2/3 and 7.1.2/4*, to adapt its code, so that each call to an inline function in a TU, which doesn't carry the function
    definition, is simply not inlined?
    That's the easy part. The "there's identical function definition in every .obj file, and the linker is expected to merge them all together" is the hard part. Normally, if you define a regular (non-inline) function in more than one source
    file, you get a linker error. Microsoft's linker has a special way to mark "defined more than once, just pick any copy" block of code (see __declspec(selectany) ). Other linkers may not.

  • When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

    When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

    I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
    1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
    2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
    3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
    4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do  with either Finder or Preview.
    5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

  • I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

    I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
    I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
    Thanks.

    I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
    The Yahoo is IMAP.
