How do I safely remove my sd card and usb flash drives from my iMac?

iMac newbie here.  After years of PC messes and crashes I finally converted to iMac.  However it's not always easy to find what I am looking for.  The first time I disconnected a usb flash drive a warning appeared on the screen.  I neglected to jot down the instructions.  Now I want to remove the SD card for my phone, and I don't want to mess anything up.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

You posted in the iMac forum; to properly dismount any external drive from a Mac, drag its' icon to the trash can. Then you can unplug it. I don't have an iphone, so I can't answer that. You'd get more knowledgeable answers for that question in an iPhone forum.

    How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

    You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

    How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB Flash Drive?

    I'm not really sure what exactly you're trying to do.  Possibly post on the Microsoft forums as DOS was their product?
    Perhaps if you provide a bit more detail about what you have now and what you're trying to do with it (desired end result), I might be able to make another suggestion.

  • How to obtain warranty for a 8 GB Lenovo USB Flash Drive

    Hello,
    Six months ago I ordered a 8 GB Lenovo MYKEY C20W USB flash driver, part number 45K2224. Unfortunately, the device has stopped being recognized by my computer and I cannot access the drive or its contents, it only shows up as a "USB MEMORY BAR USB DEVICE". I would like to obtain warranty service and exchange the product for a new one, but I couldn't find relevant warranty contact info on the main Lenovo support site. Could someone please direct me in the right direction (a phone number or email address would be greatly appreciated!)
    Thank you in advance,
    Joe Wang

  • How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

    My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
    Any ideas?
    Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4  the broken imac was on mavericks

    This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
    Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.

  • How do I copy my iTunes library to a USB flash drive in a compatible MP3 format?

    I know it is as easy as clicking and dragging but my car stereo only supports only MP3 files. About half of my iTunes library is in that format (because I downloaded from an external source; Amazon, Datpiff, etc. but a lot of them that i copyed to iTunes from a disc or purchased from the store are in MPEG format. How can I convert them ALL to MP3? Is there an external program perhaps?

  • How can I get a new FRC rookie Labview USB Flash drive? Ours is defective.

    Hello, we are a rookie FRC team. We have already sentin our missing parts list prior to attempting to install labview on the new classmate PC they gave us. The Labview USB/Flashdrive they gave us is defective. No matter what computer we plug it into, we get asked if we want to format the USB. If we select "NO" we can not open it. And if we select "Yes" re-formatting it will just erase the USB.
    How or who can we contact to get a new USB?? We do not have any existing Labview program to work with until this situation is resolved.....!!!
    Thank you.

    I would recommend that you contact your local sales representative.
    At the top of the page, you will notice two grey boxes:  MyNI & Contact NI
    Click on "Contact NI" and it should provide you with contact info.  Explain your situation and they may be able to get you an installer by FTP or some other rapid means.

  • How do you download itunes library on to a usb flash drive

    I want to download my ituneslibrary on to a sandisc ultra 16GB usb flash drive to play in my truck I never used a usb flash drive before!

    You probably don't want the entire library which is essentially everything in the iTunes folder.  Some of the files are part of iTunes only.
    To add media to a flash drive the easiest way is to simply drag the tracks from iTunes to the flash drive open in a Finder window.  This will result in a collection of media files.  Depending upon your player you may want more organization than that since it may simply end up playing the files in alphabetical order.  You will have to do your own work at this stage and read your player's manual because just about each model is different in terms of what structured playing is supported.  Some may read the labels/tags in each files as you see in iTunes, other may play folder by folder, some may require a specially formatted text file playlist, others don't support any structure and if you want to change play order you have to edit the file names, etc.

  • [Help] How to wireless transfer data to an USB flash drive from an iPad mini 2

    Hi.
    I want to use my iPad for my exams, but I'm not allowed to use the internet to send my files under the exams, so I need an alternative way to do it. I want to copy pages, numbers and keynote files to a wireless USB flash drive when I'm done. Do you know a product that can do it, that is also available in the Amazon UK?
    Thanks.

    Hi Loner,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I have located the program and will give it a try.
    Cheers.

  • How to save your photos to a usb flash drive

    Hi, I was wondering how I can remove my Photos using a usb flash drive. I know I can save them in the Cloud and prefer not too. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

    You're going to need a computer to do this, no direct way. For instance you could send them to Dropbox, then from there use a computer to download the files from Dropbox to a flash. Or use a WiFi transfer App on the iPad to send the photos to a computer than has the desktop version of the App, and then copy to flash drive.

    Try selecting them and dragging them to the mounted flash drive. Or select then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Copy from the options list. Open the Finder on the flash drive and press COMMAND-V to paste your selection to the flash drive.
    Note that dragging or pasting does not give you any control over the photo - you get the current preview with no metadata - the export command is a better way since it lets you make  your own choices in what is exported and how much metadata is included
