OS X Mavericks (10.9)- Ejecting external drives taking too long
So ever since I upgraded from 10.8.5 to the 10.9 GM any external hard disk or flash drive take too long to eject (~10 s). I'm sure it's not the drives because I've tested the same one on different Mac mini on 10.9 but it ejects within a second or two. I've tried USB 2.0, 3.0 and Thunderbolt drives. Is anyone having this issue and does anyone know how to fix it? I would rather avoid having to do a clean install. I'm using a mid 2012 MBA.
In my case the results of EtreCheck

My company has several TVs with AppleTVs (3rd generation units) connected in our conference rooms so we can "Screen Mirror" our Mac laptops via AirPlay during meetings. Many employees have complained that AirPlay Screen Mirroring drops frequently during meetings for no apparent reason.
In attempts to determine the cause of the issue, I removed the AppleTV units from Wi-Fi and hard-wired them all to the LAN (100Mbps/Full duplex, no switchport errors seen on the Cisco switch). I upgraded the AppleTVs to the latest firmware. I had our AppleTV users ensure they were running MacOS Mavericks with the latest software updates installed. I had the Mac laptops hard-wired into the LAN during meetings in the conference rooms. None of these changes resolved the AirPlay issue.
I reviewed the MacOS "/var/log/system.log" file from the laptops of several users that reported issues. I found a pattern that seemed to indicate that the "coreaudiod" process reported "Feedback taking too long to send" several times before the AppleTV connection was terminated. Also, from a network trace (using "tcpdump") taken during an unexpected AirPlay Screen Mirroring disconnection, I could see that the Mac laptop sent a TCP FIN packet to the AppleTV unit (this would indicate that the MacOS laptop initiated the closing of the AirPlay connection).
I have included the relevant log file entries below. Please note that the LAN internal to our company is "solid" and there have been no connectivity issues detected or reported during the times the AirPlay sessions were disconnected.
I believe I have found a workaround to this issue. By going into "System Preferences", "Sound" and then changing the "Output" device BACK to the "Internal Speakers" (rather than the AirPlay destination), the AirPlay Screen Monitoring connection seems to remain stable.
My questions are:
- is anyone else experiencing this type of problem? any other solutions recommended?
- is there a way to change the AirPlay defaults so that Screen Mirroring only sends the video (not audio)?
- does anyone know what the log file entries indicate (like, what does "Feedback taking too long to send...." mean)?
- any fix planned for this issue?

-TimI'm currently still experiencing this as well. I've confirmed it occurs on 10.9.1, 10.9.2, and 10.9.3 on MacBook Pro Retina's, Mid-2012 and 2013 MacBooks. It happens on multiple ATV's not just one, all are updated to 6.1.1 and a simple reboot seems to fix it temporarily but it does come back. All the ATV's are connecting to the network via Wireless not Ethernet. These are 3rd Gen ATV's but I checked the serial number and these do not match the bad batch of Apple TV's from 2013 that were offered up for Replacement for Apple due to the bad firmware update. None of the computers have the Firewall turned on. Here's the two logs that we always find after the issue occurs (logs are recent, happened this morning):
5/30/14 8:57:36.017 AM coreaudiod[183]: 2014-05-30 08:57:36.016946 AM [AirPlay] ### Feedback taking too long to send (30 seconds, 17 total)
5/30/14 8:57:36.332 AM coreaudiod[183]: 2014-05-30 08:57:36.331492 AM [AirPlay] ### Feedback failed: -6723/0xFFFFE5BD kCanceledErr
The user will get disconnected from Airplay anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes after logging on and can reconnect but then once again get disconnected after the same time period. One interesting thing to note is that when the Feedback Taking Too Long to send error starts occuring and the countdown to disconnect start ticking down to 30, its solely referring to Audio not being sent over the network and Video is working just fine. If I try to play sound I get another log and the sound doesn't play through the speakers. After a reboot, sound works fine and the Feedback Error's do not show up. I've also tried switching to Internal Speakers (since it defaultly switches to Airplay Speakers) after connecting to Airplay and seeing the Feedback timer start in the Console Logs but even after that the log continues to saw its taking too long to send and disconnects in 30 seconds.
This issue has been ongoing for months, I've got a ticket logged as far back as January with this occuring but its infrequent enough that we've just restarted and moved on. I'd say its an issue that occurs to about 5%-10% of meetings but that's an entire meeting that doesn't have the ability to Airplay until someone comes down and reboots it.
I don't often post in this forum but its still an active issue with no resolution, proof that its occuring on other people's systems, and no firmware updates having been released to correct it. It'd be nice to know of any workarounds other than having to buy some lamp timers for each conference room just to get a functional ATV or putting up a sign that says hey if you get disconnected every 3 minutes, reboot the ATV. The whole reason we're using Apple products is for ease of use otherwise I'd put together a much cheaper solution myself. Any help or recommended troubleshooting steps would be fantastic at this point. -
Regarding iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD). I am dealing with iPhoto taking too long to download photos. Specifically, I rechecked and repaired HD permissions. I am running the most current software my five year old Intel MacBook Pro can run. What happens is that when I connect an external SD card, or my iPhone, the new version of iPhoto takes up to two full minutes to fully acknowledge the device. Then locate new photos and be ready to download them to my external HD. I am kind of concerned about this. This has never happened before.
I take 20,000 photos a year. I really don't want to lose any. Or is there something I am doing wrong? Or need to be aware of? Any experienced suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Have a great day.
PS.... The cameras I use are Canon SX-30, Nikon D3100, and my iPhone 4S. Thanks again for your assistance.Hello Old Toad.... Those sound like great ideas.
I thought I checked and repaired disk permissions on my main boot HD. That boot disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Capacity 749.3 GB. Available 562.53 GB. BUT.... now that I think of it.... the Seagate external HD with USB2 interface is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Capacity 639.79 GB, Available 36.2 GB with my latest iPhoto Library 517.37 GB that was already scanned & updated to be read by the latest iPhoto version.
I'll try your suggestions tonight as far as double checking 'permissions' and setting up a tiny test library.
Or maybe it's time to fill up another External HD?
I appreciate your and anyone else's suggestions to try.
Have a great day. ~~ David in Rochester NY -
Mavericks will read my external drive but not write to it
I have a Mac Mini ( late 2012) and have the latest version of Mavericks running. I am using an external drive for backing up my photos. About 4 months ago I received an error message that the backup failed and to check the drive using the disk management utility. I checked it using the repair function and it stated all partitions looked ok, there is only one partition. But in order to get it to work again I erased the drive and formatted again. Once complete I set the drive back up using Time Machine. All was good for a few months and then it started all over again. Now after I erase and reset up it only runs for a few backups and then starts with the error messages again.
I am able to read from my hard drive so believe it's defective but I'm not a technical person so don't know for sure. Has anybody else experienced tis? If so were you able to correct it? and ow did you correct it?
Thx.Thanks to you and all who responded. The majority of responders indicated that the drive was failing. I ran the disk utility again (umpteenth time ) and it said the same thing, nothing was wrong. But I figured the masses couldn't be wrong so I found another External drive to backup to and so far so good. However this happened before as well when after a few weeks it stopped writing to it. So for now all is well and hopefully it will remain this way.
Thx again to all. -
Finder crashes when ejecting external drive
Hi have had my Macbook Pro (i5 early 2011) a month now and its crashed about 8-9 times, mostly it happens when trying to eject my external hard drive, the drive won't eject, so I tried a relaunch on finder, then finder disappears completely although everything else continues to work, I can access the Dock and utilities, Finder doesn't show up in Activity monitor. I have no choice but to do a hard restart. I thought it was the external drive as I had it partioned to MS-DOS and exfat but I just did a format and now its HFS with an exfat partition. Anyone any ideas? is it my Macbook, Lion or the drive you think?
I have the same issue by the sounds of it.
I am on clean install number three and all goes well, updates, move pics and music from external and reinstall all applications from fresh but when I complete a backup of the machine t an external drive, Finder seems to crash at random poionts or when thte backups try to eject the drive. I am at the end of my teather!

Should I eject external drives when I shut down my Mac?
Hello to all,
This might be a very elementary question to some, but I trust I will be given the proper answer. I have been using my Mac for nearly a year and I have not been ejecting my external drive/s once a day's work is over. I use the drop down menu to either put the Mac to sleep or shut it down. I allow the power to be on for the multi-socket spike from which my Mac and my drives get their power. Is this right or wrong? Any guidance in this matter will be appreciated.baltwo wrote:
FWIW, I never sleep desktop machines or their HDs, only their displays, and run 24/7, but do power down ext HDs and printers, since they're seldom used.
Hello and thanks baltwo. Sorry for this apparent delay in responding to your reply, reason being I did not have much time to sit on my Mac on account of the Festival of Peace being conducted here in Hyderabad where I stay. Am having a blessed time here attending the meetings.
Your reply has been worded precisley and I trust you are saying this:
You do not shut down or put your Mac to sleep, but put the display to sleep; and that you switch of the power to your ext drives and printers. Am I right?
I have with me a Buffalo thunderbolt [1 TB], a 2 TB, LaCie [2 TB] and 2 Seagate [2 TB] external drives. I was in the habit of having these drives mounted even though when I had no need of all of them. The Apple technician who had come to remove the RAM [see above] informed me that it was not a good thing to have all the drives connected at the same time. Since then I am trying to keep only those drives for which I had need mounted.
The thunderbolt has no external power supply and hence, if I have no need of its services, I have to eject it and then unplug it from the back of the Mac. The LaCie has a power switch conveniently located on the drive itself and ejecting it and unpowering it should be easy. For the Seagate drives, after ejecting them, I need to remove the power adapters from the power spike. At the end of the day, when one is tired, all these different processes may be cumbersome to me, but I would not mind adopting it if I could be instructed as to how this method of yours scores over the other method in which one shuts down the computer. My next thanks is awaiting you!
Cheers and have agreat day. -
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 randomly ejecting external drives
HI there.
I have a 15" MacBook pro late 2008 (5,1) with 4Gb of ram. It has 3 external drives attached. One WD Studio 1Tb via FireWire 800 and 2 newer WD 3Tb drives via USB.
ON the studio drive is my iTunes library and I am trying to move it to the new (2 weeks old) 3Tb drive. iTunes can read the Studio drive ok and even play items from it but copying the data through Finder or even just accessing the drive sometimes forces an eject.
THe eject is so quick that it doesn't drop off the desktop and Finder rarely reports a force eject, but it's enough to stop the read, copy or move that is in progress.
The only way to get the drive back and working is to power the drive down and power back up and hope there is no corruption. This has happened once or twice with the USB based drives as well.
DIsk Utility, as long as the drive stays connected, report no problems. I've cleaned the contacts in the drive to rule out a contact fault and I've removed them from Spotlight.
Please help as I'd rather not have to rerip my CDs back into iTunes along with movies, apps etc.OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support

How to "eject" external drive on pc

on my pc, there is no "right-click" option or any other that i can find to eject my Lacie drive.
is it okay to simply unplug the external lacie from the pc?

Cannot Eject External Drive Using Space/Leopard
Since I installed Leopard, I find it very useful. But in order to eject the external drive, I must quit all applications (six), which forces me to open the same documents each time. Isn't there a way to eject the external drive so that I can keep my applications open in Spaces?
This issue got worse for me. I read a bunch of posts about troubles with Time Machine and Spaces, so I turned Spaces off on my computer and restarted it.
Time Machine immediately started working and did a small backup successfully. I tried to eject the disk to see if it would work and it did!
The problem now is that the computer won't recognize my USB drive after I ejected it. I plug it in and the drive will not show up in the Finder and the drive just keeps rhythmically clicking away. I've tried restarting my computer without luck. Also, the USB drive works normally on a different computer.
Finally, I turned Time Machine off and the drive immediately appeared in the Finder and is OK. The drive (a new FireLite formatted Mac OS Extended-Journaled) just won't work with Time Machine. For me, this all started after I turned on Spaces the first time. -
Fix for Mavericks compatibility with Lacie external drives yet?
My last attempt to upgrade to Mavericks caused my 2 Lacie external drives to become unrecognisable to my mac. Update hung up too so I lost everything...luckily I had a third back up with CCC that saved me. Im just wondering if there is a fix for this now. I got no information or help from Lacie.
Exactly the same here. Installed Mavericks and La Cie no longer shows in Finder and Time Machine reminds me that no back up has taken place. As an iMac newbie where do I go from here. In my Win PC days I always backed up to an external HD on a scheduled basis without this sort of problem.

Auto mount/eject external drive for time machine backup/restore
I have an Iomega ultramax drive connected via firewire 800 for my Time machine backups.
This drive will automatically spin down after a period of non-use. I like this as it means lower power usage and lower risk of data loss (head crashes etc..).
My problem is, when the drive spins down like this, some file open operations pause until the drive spins up again. I cannot remember exactly which applications I have had the problem with, but I assumed that this was part of the OS. This delay can be up to 5 seconds or so and is really annoying.
Assuming this is not just a specific third party application thing. My suggestion to Apple is to do one or both of the following:
1) Multi thread the file open dialog (process?) so that is comes up instantly, and then adds the drive when it has spun up.
2) Modify time machine so that it can automatically mount/eject the external drive just when doing backups and restores.
Currently I have a bit of a messy work around to this problem where I have a loadd scheduled shell script that runs every hour that mounts the drive, runs time machine to backup and the ejects the drive. It works, but is not perhaps as nice a solution as it could be.
Does anybody else suffer from this problem?Yes that is correct, the drive spins down and remains mounted.
To be perhaps clearer. The problem is not essentially a time machine problem, it is to do with whatever implements the file open capability that other apps use. In the above sitation, there is always a delay for the drive to spin up when I go to open a file (perhaps five seconds) in other applications. I assume this delay is caused by the file open process waiting until some data is retrieved from the external drive before giving me the option of choosing a file. This delay is annoying, as I do not ever want to open a file from my external drive (this is dedicated to time machine backups) when I am using pages, or any other application other than a time machine restore.
This particular issue is similar (but I suspect nowhere near as bad) as one of my pet hates about windows XP. In windows it appears that the explorer will wait for a response on all its connected drives (hard disks, mounted cds, network drives), so any sort of network connectivity or hardware delay will cause explorer to freeze. As explorer seems to be embedded in most things you do with the OS, this can cause anything or everything to freeze (web browsing, you name it).
In my setup, as I have the external drive totally dedicated to time machine backups, another thing that would fix the problem for me is the suggestion number 2 I suggested where time machine auto mounts for the backup and then ejects after the backup. With the feature, then the external drrive will only ever be mounted for short periods of time (the above problem does not ocurr if the external drive is not mounted), and when it is mounted it will be spinning, so I will never have my file open delay. I would however have a short delay when doing a time machine restore for the mount of the drive, but this is a much rarer event the using file open in all my other apps.
Thanks for the info on the feedback link, I will post this to that. -
Problem "ejecting" external drive after spotlight indexes it
I had posted to a string that I can't find. Anyway, I've installed Leopard on my 2.0 GHz MacBook. I had to erase all my data to install. (I was in a loop for a little bit but the install kicked in eventually.) After installing Leopard, I attached an external HD to it to transfer some documents, music, etc. that was on the MacBook before. That all went well. I have not done any configurations for Time Machine.
I am trying to "eject" this hard drive and I keeping getting a message "The disk "NAME OF DRIVE" is in use and could not be ejected. Try quitting applications and try again."
What initially happened was that spotlight was automatically indexing it. That is over. I still can't eject it.
I'm out of all applications except "Finder" which is always on. This is a MacBook that is now tied to my desk until I can disconnect this external drive from it. I'm afraid of just unplugging it from the firewire as I've had a similar drive crash when I did that on another mac a few months ago.
I've done "restart" and turned it off and restarted manually. The drive still won't eject.
Any help is appreciated. I haven't been able to figure it out so far.
Some additional info: The external drive does have "clone" copies of the applications that were on my MacBook before I had my MacBook "erased" to install Leopard. I don't have any of those applications running. I don't think that would matter, but the message keeps saying to quit applications.
ThanksI don't have an answer for this yet, but I have an additional clue. I've had this happen to me a couple of times since upgrading to Leopard. The first time I was able to fix it by quitting all programs and logging out completely, and then logging in as a different user and ejecting the disk from that account. And now I currently have the same issue, but I've been working so I couldn't take the time to log myself out just to eject an external disk.
What I did find out about it, in my case, is that it seems to be related to the new auto-activation feature for fonts. A quick check to see what files are open on the drive that won't eject reveals:
Lightning:/> lsof /Volumes/Backup\ 2
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ATSServer 1187 disco txt REG 14,6 32892 71832 /Volumes/Backup 2/Backups/disco/Fonts/VT102Font/..namedfork/rsrc
So somehow Leopard found a font buried in a non-standard location on a backup disk and opened it... It shows up in my fonts menu in TextEdit, for example, but it does not show up on FontBook so I haven't found a way to turn it back off so I can eject the disk. I did go to the FontBook preferences and found where "Automatic font activation" is turned on by default and also checked "Ask me before activating", which was turned off... Hopefully from now on that will let me head off rogue font activation before it becomes an issue. -
Problem ejecting external drive
I have an external drive attached to my I-Mac which I have always done in the past without a problem. I can't eject the drive because it says that it is in use. I believe this is an error message. How do I find out what the drive is being used for? I'm hoping once that's cleared up, I'll be able to eject the drive. If it is simply an error message, then how do I eject the drive safely?

Problems ejecting external drives
I have a number of external drives used for backup, and apart from the drives failing (which has been too often for comfort) I have never had a problem with the ejection mechanism. Until Mountain Lion.
I have just spent an afternoon trying to make a LaCie disk work properly.
For the past week or so the computer kept saying that the disk could not be ejected - do I want to force eject, which I did.
Today it did not even give that option, merely saying that the disk was in use. This certainly wasn't the case unless there is a rogue program somewhere on my system. One message did indicate that the System UI Server was the culprit, but other messages gave no clue.
Having saved all the files on the disk to the main hard drive, I played around with some disk utilities, but got nowhere because the utilities, including Apple's own, couldn't unmount the drive.
Having tried everything rational I decided on the irrational and just unplugged the disk. This appeared to work. It responded normally initially and I was able to reformat the disk. But the problem came back. I assumed that the disk had become corrupted and put it to the side.
I then tried another external disk. And this one will not eject either. The system says it is being used, which is certainly not the case.
I never ever had a problem with ejecting disks before Mountain Lion.
