Mountain Lion Upgrade, now I am getting a "disk not ejected properly" error

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I am getting a "disk not ejected properly" error on my external time machine backup drive. Can I fix this myself?

Maybe the Seagate needs some firmware or other update to be compatible. Tried Google or Seagate for any info?
Sometimes with TM you almost need to start fresh... keep what you have as is as backup archive.
And don't use just one backup set or method. Redundant, one off line, and clone your volumes in addition to what TM offers.
If you can only use it via USB what about FW or eSATA?

I am getting error message "Disk Not Ejected Properly Eject "FreeAgent GoFlex Drive" before disconnecting or turning it-" randomly.

I'm getting a "Disk Not Ejected Properly Eject “FreeAgent GoFlex Drive” before disconnecting or turning it…" message at random times. I have seen other comments about this happening after the iMac wakes from sleep. However, this is happening to me throughout the day even when I am working on the iMac.
The iMac is up to date with OS X Version 10.9. I had recently switched from a 500GB to a 3TB Drive, both are Seagate. I have never had this issue prior to the switch.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I verified/repaired in the Utility Disk and a message popped up indicating the GoFlex looks "OK".

No, I am not on the USB3 interface. I contacted Seagate and they indicated that there is no known issue with OS X 10.9. In my case, they are willing to send me a new Drive, since I just received the GoFlex on 12/06. Will post an update when I install the new one. Hopefully this will solve my issue.
I suggest you contact Seagate, if you haven't already, directly. The representatives are very helpful. Good luck.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion. Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download. The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try. My app store ID is fine. What do I do?

Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
Cancell both downloads anyway.
Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed, Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now.

I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and now my Canon Pixima MP500 will not open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported! Has anyone experience this problem?

Correct. Applications designed to run on the old PPC Macs (which Apple stopped making in 2005) cannot run on Mountain Lion.
You need to update your printer driver:

I have updated to Mountain Lion and now the music on NetHymnal does not play.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and now the music on the NetHymnal site does not play. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the sound on other sites. There is a statement that a plugin is missing but I can't determine what plugin is missing.

Do you have a printer that has a memory card slot on it?

OSX Mountain Lion "Disk not ejected properly" USB-Finder not responding

Hello,
I just upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion late 2008 macbook pro. Whenever i plug in a USB, it detects it fine. But then when i copy anything to it, it starts but then give the error message "Disk was not ejected properly". After that, my finder hangs and i have to force quit it. And then it doesnt launch unless I do a restart of my computer by pressing and holding the power key because normal restart doesnt work. Happen to anyone? any solution? Thanks!

Connect the USB device then right or control click the USB device icon on the Desktop, then click Eject.
Then re connect the device and try copying files.

Disk not ejected properly notification after upgrade

Hi,
I have a 500GB Western Digital external drive configured for Time Machine. I recently upgraded to Mavericks, now when my computer goes to sleep I get the dreaded "Disk was not ejected properly" message. With Mountain Lion I have experienced this issue when my macbook pro goes to sleep when running a vm in Parallels, but never at any other time.
It wouldn't really be a big deal, but I am connected to a thunderbolt display and when I wake the computer up, I have to unplug the thunderbolt cable and plug it back it in to get my thunderbolt display to turn back on. This is a real pain!
Not sure if this is a bug or configuration issue. Perhaps I might need a third party app like Jettison.
Please help.

Thanks for the info. I reset the SMC and my mbp starting acting very funky. I started experiencing some odd behaviour with my internet connection, so I shutdown my mbp and left it off for at least a minute. When I rebooted I was able to connect wirelessly and hit the sites I could not before.
All good; however, I noticed that my external drive was showing as a usb device and not Time Machine drive. I selected the external drive from the Time Machine prefrences and now all seems to be working fine.
I think this was the actual issue I was experiencing after upgrading. I don't think the SMC reset was necessary in this case, but I gave it a shot because I had noticed the symptom of fans running frequently when there is minimal load and proper ventilation.
Thanks.

OS X does not include Adobe's Flash Player. Because most content on You Tube is Flash based you need to navigate to:

Download Flash and then re-try your You Tube videos.

After Mountain lion upgrade MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J does not recognize disk

I just installed Mountain Lion on an older MacBookPro,after install my DVD is no longer listed. when I insert a program disk it gives me a message that the disk is blank. does anyone know why this is

Welcome to Discussions - You have posted in the PPC iMac forum, I'll ask that your post be moved to the intel Forum. iMacs are notoriously picky about the media you use, one brand might work perfectly, another not. I use Phillips and TDKs, so you might simply have had a dud disk. Have you tried another TDK disk from the same batch? Or, as suggested above, another brand?

Logic pro 9 keeps crashing. I get a "disc not ejected properly" message among other error messages. I can't even force quit. It makes me do the hard shutdown. Any ideas? Same problem with both external hard drives

Getting lots of crazy error messages pertaining to the external hard drives. This problem is bad. Usually can't run the software very long at all before it crashes. Logic version 9.1.8 running on OS 10.7.5 on a Macbook Pro

Such an error is being reported by OS X (nothing to do with Logic) and indicates that your Mac and your external drives are losing connection for some reason... There are some external drives that will incorrectly 'go to sleep' without reporting it to OS X which then thinks the drives have been unplugged without ejecting, hence the msg.
Also, you could have a flaky physical connection somewhere.. so check ports and cables....
So... to troubleshoot.. try the following...
Save and place a small text file on each of the drives.. Open both text files in textedit.. and keep them open (You can minimize textedit ) Now, see if you still get that problem.. when the files are kept open.
If you do not get this problem.. then the likelohood is it will be the HDs 'going to sleep' without proper reporting to OS X.. so check for a firmware update from the HD's manufacturer.. that will stop this from happening.
If they still disconnect, its more likely it is a physical ports and cable issue.

If you've recently upgraded the memory, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts on the memory modules when handling them. If necessary, clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol.
The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
