Programs to safely remove in Bootcamp (start-up)

I'm using Windows XP in bootcamp via SnowLeopard install.
Which startup programs are non essential to Bootcamp?
I imagine: "Bootcamp" /"nwiz" / "NVCPL" / and "NvMcTray" are the only ones?
Side note. This is a freshinstall and I'm havng trouble updating my drivers. I did it with my last install fine but apparently nVidia has updated what I would use and they no longer work. (4-bit screen, 640x480 res..) Could someone with OS X.6.8 and windows xp who has updated their nVidia drivers tell me the number? I believe it was low 200's or maybe 190's.
Thanks

You realize that: The latest beta have worked for others?
You can always do advanced search to find all the drivers;
NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
Your title was "what is safe to remove" and not "graphic driver" let alone drivers for which Mac and graphic device?
I never used XP so that, and Mac laptop, is 2nd hand reading. In the past, people had to use Laptop2go (some still do it seems) but now in the last months Nvidia has improved support for more/most devices, though maybe that is more for Windows 7 than prior versions (XP SP3 is 3 yrs past and EOL).
Just that there are threads, some bookmarked, some not (some lost to the old AD forums).
the old AD you and I could change the reply's subject/title and add search keywords, now only you will.

How can i "Safely Remove" My Passport Ultra from my PC?

I can't EVER "Safely Remove" my My Passport Ultra drive from my PC!
The computer's an HP notebook (if that matters), and it's running Vista (64bit).
I can't believe that there's NO way to eject / unmount / "Safely Remove" the drive from my computer when i need to disconnect it from the port!
But i can't find any way to do it, other than shutting down the system entirely. Obviously, shutting down every time i want to unplug the drive is so RIDICULOUSLY impractical, i can't even consider it as an option.
The "Knowledge Base" pages don't seem particularly knowledgeable on the subject.
The only suggestions offereed there are to close any applications that are acccessing thedrive, including the Windows indexer and any virus/spyware programs that might be running.
Obviously I've already done that. I've set the drive to never be idexed or scanned/monitored for viruses and spyware.
And yet still, every time i try to eject the drive, it's the same message:
"Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device"
"Windows can't stop your 'Generic volume' device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again later."
Sometimes, even after i manually end the WD software via the Windows services menu, they just start back up again a few seconds later (even though i set them in the services menu to only be launched manually).
But the rest of the time, even when none of the WD software is running, Windows still tells me the drive is in use and won't let me eject it.
There's GOTTA be a way around this.
I've never had this problem with any OTHER external drive.
I'm still waiting for a reply to the Support Case i submited yesterday, but i'm getting impatient.
Does anybody else know any solutions to this problem? I can't be the only one stumped by it...

Update:
I think I finally solved the problem (no thanks to WD...).
I had already excluded the My Passport Drive from being indexed by the Windows Indexer.
And from being scanned or protected by antivirus software.
And from being monitored by Windows Defender.
What i didn't realize is that the WD Smartware software and the other WD applications were running automatically at startup, whether or not the drive was connected.
And so even if i closed them manually, they relaunched automatically in the background again.
Finally, i used a third-party program to remove all the WD applications and services from the startup and autorun lists on my computer.
This seems to be working so far.
I've been able to connect the drive, manually run the WD Smartware application, perform a backup, and close WD Smartware again. And then Windows allows me to "Safely Remove" (eject) the drive without any problems. I've gotta say that it makes no sense for WD's software to be ser up to run automatically, but that's the way it was set up by default when i installed it. Maybe it would make sense if WD expected its users to leave it connected and running all the time, but this is a PORTABLE drive. Leave it connected and constantly running in the background would defeat the purpose of being "portable" entirely, wouldn't it?

External USB Hard Drive Can't Be Safely Removed After Boot Camp 3.1 Install

I just wanted to report that I've done multiple installs of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my MacBook 4,1 and although I've had no problem using the cmd workaround ( http://www.zath.co.uk/how-to-install-windows-7-on-apple-mac-boot-camp/ ) to install the 64-bit Boot Camp drivers that come with the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard retail DVD, I have found that by installing the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers on the same system, under no circumstance can I click the the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray and not receive a message saying that ... "The device 'Generic Volume' cannot be safely ejected..." and that some program or service must be using it. However, a restart doesn't solve the problem any more than logging out does.
I read somewhere that part of the fix that Boot Camp 3.1 was intended to provide was to allow safe ejecting of the Macintosh HFS+ partition. Well, my external hard drive has three partitions: one NTFS, another NTFS, and a third HFS+ for Time Machine backups. I suspect, since I haven't seen anyone else reporting this issue, that it may simply be that the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers don't take into account the possibility of an HFS+ partition on external USB devices. Anyway, a System Restore to before Boot Camp 3.1 drivers were installed completely remedies the issue.
At this point, I'm not having any trackpad issues or anything else of note with respect to the original Boot Camp 3.0 drivers that came with the Snow Leopard retail disc, so I'm fine keeping those drivers installed and allowing Windows Update to update the Intel and Marvell drivers as it recommends. I just find it slightly amusing that the Boot Camp 3.0 drivers, which supposedly did not support Windows 7 (let alone the 64-bit version) work better than the 3.1 drivers which do supposedly support Windows 7. And the funny thing (or is it?) is that you have to install the original Boot Camp drivers with the cmd workaround before you're even able to update to the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers. Hilarious stuff there.
Proprietary gamesmanship is a big reason some of us prefer the Linux "share the ownership +for free+" model of computing. Just saying...
Anyone have any proper solutions (as in, other than "don't install the updates then!")?

I have a pair of external usb drives, one formatted for NTFS and the other for HFS+ connected through an external 7 port hub. I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) with bootcamp 3.1 on a late 2009 Mac BookPro. I share the same "safely remove hardware" issues you described. I always assumed it was because my external drives were connected through my external USB hub because of a similar issue I had running Vista (64 bit), but now I can confirm directly connecting the external USB HFS+ drive also yields the same "safely remove hardware" problem. Unfortunately for me, if I regress to the Bootcamp 3.0 drivers, my audio drivers, at times, fails to load. I would need to regress to Windows Vista (64 bit), the last environment where my iSight camera, internal speakers and all other hardware performed correctly. I would gladly, at this point, live with the "safely remove hardware" issue in exchange for a working iSight camera, the one and only hardware device lost to me in the move to Windows 7.

Safely Remove Drive Icon Dead

For a while now, when I right or left click on the system tray icon thing to stop any connected USB drive nothing happens - the list of drives doesnt show. If I left click, the icon flashes, but nothing happens.
Searching around, some people have the same issue, but no solution.
I found if you go into the device manager->Disk drives->my drive->properties-policies, change it from "quick removal" to "better performanc" it gives you a handy link to "safely remove hardware". This pops up the correct dialog and shows both my external USB drive and also the internal DVD drive. however, if I try and stop the drive, it always fails, even though indexing is turned off, no programs are accessing it, and no file explorers are open.
It sucks. I dont know if its a microsoft thing or a driver thing. I have all the latest drivers as of 3 months ago.

You can configure the toolbar to "Always Hide" or "Hide When Inactive" that specific icon. Press "Start" and right-click at the top of the menu icon...in the blue area. Pick "Properties"....choose "Taskbar", then pick "Customize". Find the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon and to the right, you can choose three options. Pick "Always Hide" and then "Apply", then "O.K."....
If you are not enabling Spread Spectrum in BIOS, then no reason to configure jumper settings on WD drive either.

Windows 7 doesn't release USB stick - can't safely remove USB stick

Sometimes when I'm trying to safely remove an USB stick formatted with NTFS from any Windows 7 installation, Windows 7 refuses to release the USB device.
This occurs on host machines as well as on VM guest machines. When I'm attaching the USB stick to a virtual machine (VMware Workstation) and when this effect occurs in there I can see from Workstation's device manager that the USB stick is getting accessed
once every (approx.) five seconds. The USB stick shortly flashes up accordingly then, so there is indeed some access to the USB stick.
Now, this doesn't happen all the time. This effect only occurs, say once or twice a week.
Waiting for 5 to 10 Minutes, the low-frequent regular short flashing finally stops and I can safely remove my USB stick then.
Well, what I want to know: Which Windows service is sometimes accessing my USB stick in this manner?
This happens on several machines, some of them having almost no software installed.
When exploring the file handles with SysInternals Process Explorer, there's only a Windows Explorer handle attached to the USB device.
I suspect it might either be Windows Defender (having Search Removable Devices enabled), Windows Search or Windows Defragment. But this is only a guess.
Can anyone please enlighten me on which service is capturing my USB device for such a long time, keeping me from safely removing the USB device?

Is ther a way to speed up a Mac? Mine has gotten slower and slower over time. When memory comes close to full would that have an effect on performance? Is there a way to determine unused programs/software to remove and free space?

Is there a way to speed up a Mac (similar to de-fragging on a PC)? Mine has gotten slower and slower over time.
When memory/disc comes close to full would that have an effect on performance? How should I determine what programs/software to remove and free space?

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                  The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                  The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                  The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                  Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
    used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
    drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Removing Photoshop Album Starter 3.0

If I load Elements 5.0, can I remove Photoshop Album Starter 3.0 (using Add/Remove in Windows XP)? My reading indicates Yes, but this Album Starter program was loaded when I prurchased the computer.

Thanks very much for the reply. As indicated, I exspected a 'Yes' (with the conditions you mention), but it's always hard to get rid of something!

? Best way to remove the notification area "Safely Remove" icon?

I have a new T500 running Vista64. I've been able to customize it mostly to my liking. But I still have a notification area icon called "Safely Remove Hardware." When I click on it a window pops up allowing me to "safely remove" the Ma*shi*ta DVD drive. I will never remove this hardware.
There are pretty clear methods that disable this icon and seemingly work perfectly for nVidia installations of serial ATA drives, but this T500/Vista64 setup doesn't have those drivers or the registry key that is modified. I am aware that I can customize the notification area to "hide inactive icons" (via Taskbar properties) but there is only this one icon and it does not serve a purpose. I am certain that there is a benign way to remove the icon that does not involve other software (like RemoveSRHI) and only removes the icon as it pertains to the "removable" Ma*shi*ta DVD drive. Any temporary hardware, like a flash drive, that needs this will still display the icon. The nVidia setups simply add a registry fix to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata by adding a DWord "DisableRemovable." I've read from quite a few successful users of this registry fix and there doesn't seem to be a downside.
Does someone that knows a lot more about these drivers know if the DisableRemovable DWord can be added to a different key that's in my setup so the icon isn't displayed? I'm guessing there are thousands of T500 users that would thank you! Many Thanks, Ben

I remember having this happen on my Toshiba, and since I never safely removed anything, I hid it.
Since you're still wanting to use it to remove USB drives, etc. I found a dandy program, it allows you to hide devices you don't want to stop. I've never used it, but the domain said it all for me: http://www.safelyremove.com/
Hope it works for you, it did for someone else in a forum I visted via some Googling.

How to Safely Remove Hardware under Hyper-V 2008 R2?

Hi,
I'm using Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, but it seems that there is broader experience/support with Server Core, so I'll try this question here.
There's no GUI, so how do I Safely Remove Hardware, e.g. a USB-attached external backup drive? I'm looking for a command-line tool to list removable drives, let me specify what to remove, and tell me when it's safe to remove it.
Also, how do I configure the drive properties (either safe removal or turn on write caching)?
Thanks,

User has a "startup on login" pref that opens a file named "apple-scc-20111227-074257". Can't find any reference to this....any idea on what this startup file does or if it can be safely removed as a login-startup item? thanks.

Friend has a laptop running OSX 10.6.8, with latest software update 22Jun2012. One of the User's items to startup on Login is a file titled "
apple-scc-20111227-074257"
No idea what this does or where it is located.....any ideas on what it starts up and if it can be safely removed from startup items? Thanks for any info.

If you mouse over the item in your Login Items you should see a tool tip indicating where it is. Alternatively right (control) click on it and a contextual menu item, Reveal in Finder will be shown which you can select to open the folder containing the item.
By the way the 20111227 portion of that name looks like a date -- 12/27/2011.
I'm sure you can delete it. Nothing major is going to happen. But you really should find out where it is.
If Reveal in Finder doesn't show anything it may be because the file is invisible (which might be considered somewhat suspicious). In that case use the finder find command (command-f) and look for kind filename plus invisible. Or just use Find any File to find it.

Reoccuring Safely Remove Hardware - T60 WinXP SP3

HI all,
I received my laptop back from the repair center today. Once I finished with the Windows setup the Remove Hardware Safely icon was waiting in the taskbar. The device it lists is the Mat**bleep**a DVD-RAM UJ-842 - [D:]. I followed the steps to Stop device and windows popped up the "it is now safe to remove ..." message and the Safely Remove Hardware icon was removed from the taskbar. When I restarted the Safely Remove Hardware icon returned. I have only plugged 1 device into the machine; a usb mouse. I have not installed any new programs either. What steps do I take to end this loop?
Happy New Year

Looks like the Handle command-line utility should be able to filter on D:\; quoting from the above link:
usage: handle [[-a] [-u] | [-c <handle> [-l] [-y]] | [-s]] [-p <processname>|<pid>> [name]
name
This parameter is present so that you can direct Handle to search for references to an object with a particular name.
For example, if you wanted to know which process (if any) has "c:\windows\system32" open you could type:
handle windows\system
The name match is case-insensitive and the fragment specified can be anywhere in the paths you are interested in.

ITunes & Quicktime has an invalid signature. The program has been removed

When I try to update itunes through the apple software update, i get error message 'itunes and quicktime has an invalid signature. the program has been removed.'
When I go to download from the apple website.. it downloads 10% and then stops.
I have tried downloading through google chrome, firefox and IE, I have tried to delete my temp file, And I have also gone into internet options and ticked 'allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid'.
Nothing is working!!! Does anyone know how to fix this?

Okay. Try downloading and saving the installer onto a different PC. Copy the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) onto a USB key or thumb drive or other external drive (or even burn it to a CD) and then carry it to your PC. Copy the installer onto your internal hard drive, and then start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe).
(If we can get a working copy of the installer onto a PC, installs will usually go through without the invalid-signature/not-valid-win32/unknown-publisher/etc errors.)

DAQCard - Safely remove hardware

Hi I have a DAQCard 6024E and I would like to know if it should be
appearing on the Safely Remove hardware list in the system tray
(Windows XP).
If it should be there how do I get it to apear on the list? If I right
click on the task bar and go to customize notifications I have Safely
Remove Hardware set to always show.
I have just installed NI DAQ on another Windows 2000 PC and it doesn't show on there either.
Is it OK to just eject the DAQCard without stopping it?
Regards
Nick

Hello Nick,
PCMCIA cards are hot-swappable, so it should always be "safe" to remove
them in terms of the hardware. Windows might get a little
confused as to why there is no longer a PCMCIA card, but I don't think
it should cause any serious issues. If anything is accessing the
card (your program, MAX, etc.) then Windows is probably not going to
list it as a device that is safe to remove. However, I think you
are fine just ejecting the card.

How do i remove a bootcamp partition without bootcamp assistant?

I incorrectly removed the bootcamp partition via disk utility rather than on the bootcamp assistant. Now my mac boots into the deleted partition. To avoid i press the option key during start up and select my Macintosh HD. How do i now remove this partition? There is no option in bootcamp as bootcamp thinks its partition is deleted.

Try going into the system preferences and then go to "Startup Disk" and choose the main hard drive to boot up into. This way, instead of booting into the deleted partition you can tell the computer to boot into your main hard drive.
