Oh no! Can't eject after migration?

Following the migration process of transfering files from G5 iMac to MBP, I can't eject the external disk icon. I get the message "The disk 'Macintosh HD' is in use and could not be ejected. Try quitting applications and try again."
I don't see any apps running. What can I try? Thanks.

If I recall correctly, you are supposed to shut down the mac you transferred from (on my old powerbook that involves holding down power button for about 5 seconds). That shoud do it. Then unplug the connection from the old one to the new one.

  • Which HDD partitions can be deleted after migration to SSD (Win8)

    Hi everybody,
    I have bought a Intel SSD 525 mSATA for my new T530 and have already installed it succesfully. With the Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12  I have migrated the Windows 8 OS to the new SSD. Everything works fine with the SSD and I want to clean up the partitions on the HDD now.
    My problem is that I don´t know which partitions belongs to the preload/receovery and should stay on the drive.
    HDD:
    1. WINRE_DRV -               NTFS (OEM-/ Servicepartition)      1000MB
    2. SYSTEM_DRV -           (OEM-/ Servicepartition)                  260MB
    3. Local Drive -                 unknown                                             128MB
    4. Windows8_OS [D:]  -  NTFS                                                     447,2GB
    5. Lenovo_Recovery -     NTFS (OEM-/ Servicepartition)       17,1GB
    Which partitions can be deleted without damaging the preload/recovery function.
    Could anybody help me with this question ?
    Thanks a lot

    Yes. The SSD is my new boot drive. These two partitions are on the SSD now.
    SDD: 
    SYSTEM_DRV -           (OEM-/ Servicepartition)        260MB
    Windows8_OS [C:]-   NTFS                                         111,5GB
    The HDD should be my storage Drive. Thats right.
    But the preload/recovery partitions remains on the HDD. I have created a USB recovery media according to this instruction (http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT076024). The recovery partition should be on the USB flash drive now. 
    I want to remain the recovery partition on HDD to have a second copy, if something happen to the USB flash drive.
    HDD:
    1. WINRE_DRV -               NTFS (OEM-/ Servicepartition)      1000MB
    2. SYSTEM_DRV -           (OEM-/ Servicepartition)                  260MB
    3. Local Drive -                 unknown                                             128MB
    4. Windows8_OS [D:]  -  NTFS                                                     447,2GB
    5. Lenovo_Recovery -     NTFS (OEM-/ Servicepartition)       17,1GB
    Is only number 5 the recovery partition or are 1 ,2 ,3 linked to it ?

  • Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

    can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
    needed RCA ... plz help..

    Hi,
    From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

    I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

    If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on.  The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

    You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
    You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

  • Can't open iTunes after migrating new computer

    Can't open iTunes after migrating my old powerbook to my new macbook pro. Get the error message: "The file iTunes Library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Help!

    Did you install the latest version of iTunes on the new PC? The usual reason for this is that you had a newer version on the old PC.
    If you can't get it to work the simplest thing to do is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from the iTunes folder to desktop.
    Then start iTunes and use the following link to recreate your library.

    Note you already dragged the library files out of the iTunes folder.

  • After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

    After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
    The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

    I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
    I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

  • Can't open ER-Model diagrams after migration from 9.0.5.2

    Hi
    I migrated my project with some ER-diagrams from 9.0.5.2 to 10.1.3. But after migration I'm not able to open the diagrams anymore. If I doubleclick or rightclick and select open: simply nothing happens.
    How can I make my migrated diagrams available in JDeveloper 10.1.3?
    Thanks in advance
    Frank Brandstetter

    Frank,
    Can you send me your original 9.0.5.2 project to me so that I can investigate?
    If so can you zip up the project and rename the '.zip' file to '.zap' to get it through the mail server.

  • Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

    Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
    This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
    Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!
