Unable to eject usb

Hi I am having problems disconnecting usb devices as they arent showing so I cannot move to trash bin I am running OS x 10.9.1 Hope someone can help

jmas239,
if you open Finder’s Preferences and select its General tab, check to see if the “Show these items on the desktop: External disks” is unchecked. If it is unchecked, then check it.

    Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
    I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
    I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
    Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
    is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
    is there anything else I can try ?
    should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
    If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

  • Unable to Load USB Driver in LV for Total Phase's Aardvark I2C adaptor

    I have tried to instal Total Phase's Aardvark I2C USB driver for LabVIEW on two computers and two versions of LV (8.5 and 7.1) without success. The Windows driver seems to be working fine as their command center gui terminal-esque program works without a hitch, but the LV DLL doesn't seem to work.
    Attached is the very simple vi to find connected Aardvark USB devices (aa_find_devices). It always returns the same error code, 8002, which resolves to:
    AA_UNABLE_TO_LOAD_DRIVER
    -2
    unable to load USB driver
    From their documentation: http://www.totalphase.com/docs/aardvark_datasheet/​sect005/#s5.9
    This looks like perhaps the LabVIEW DL, "aardvark.dll" maybe having a versioning issue. So my question is this: Using LabVIEW, how does one debug dll dependencies and resolve issues like this? Do I need the source code for the lib?
     Cheers,
    Joe Gorse

    Dear Joe,
    Let me start off by apologizing for the inconvenience you
    have gone through.  I am an engineer at Total Phase.  We are
    working on fixing this issue for our next release of the
    Aardvark LabVIEW Driver.  This forum post was only brought
    to our attention today.  In the future, you can also let
    Total Phase know about these kinds of issues by emailing
    [email protected]  We are very responsive through
    email or phone.
    The problem you are experiencing has to do with versioning
    issues between our DLL and USB driver.  Specifically, DLLs
    before v5.xx must use the older version of our USB driver.
    By replacing the DLL from our latest version of Control
    Center, you have effectively upgraded the DLL that the
    LabVIEW driver is using and made it compatible with v2.xx of
    the USB driver.
    The most likely reason that smercurio_fc did not see a
    difference between the DLL in Aardvark Control Center and
    the LabVIEW driver is because he is using an older version
    of Control Center and correspondingly an older version of
    the USB driver.
    The reason that we have not packaged the LabVIEW driver with
    latest DLL is due to the fact that a few functions have
    changed their function prototypes (for example aa_open_ext
    and aa_spi_write), and the VIs have not yet been updated
    accordingly.  Although updating the DLL solved your USB
    driver issue, it introduced this new issue.  If you try to
    use these certain VIs, LabVIEW will error out.
    We are currently working on updating the LabVIEW drivers to
    work cohesively with the new DLL and USB driver, and this
    should be available soon.  If you need immediate
    availability to the functions with new prototypes you will
    have to change it manually.  The other recommended option is
    to simply revert back to the DLL that is packaged with our
    LabVIEW driver and downgrade the USB driver back to v1.xx.
    I will make sure to post again once the update is released,
    and I once again apologize for the inconvenience.
    Best regards,
    Etai

  • Using an early 2011 15 inch macbook pro to watch a rented dvd. the screen displayed a skipping over damaged section message, then the dvd froze. first unable to eject the dvd, now it can't be inserted. Hardware prblm? reset the superdrive?

    I was viewing a rented dvd when a "skipping damaged area" message was shown and then the dvd froze. At first I was unable to eject the dvd with the eject botton though the superdrive made "ejecting" noises, and followed the cue "finder using dvd" and ejected it. Now the drive will not accept any dvds. Does this sound like a hardaware problem, or is it possible that some sort of "reset" needs to take place?

    Before wasting your time heading to your local Apple Store, try resetting your SMC.  It doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it's just the thing to save you time.

  • A dvd is stuck in my MacBook Pro, and I am unable to eject it.

    I recently used my MacBook Pro to watch a dvd, and I am unable to eject it.  Has anyone else had this experience, and can offer a solution that doesn't require a $29 visit to the Genius Bar?

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Unable to Eject Garmin GPS from MacBook

    After connecting my Garmin GPS 62SC to my MacBook to acquire updates on-line, I am unable to eject because the camera within the GPS is re-recognized by the MacBook as soon as it is ejected.

    What about changing the way iPhoto sees the GPS? Do this in iPhoto Preferences / General.
    The options for "Connecting camera opens:" include No application.
    The downside is that if you do connect a regular camera you will have to do some work.

  • I  have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2. Frequently the system fails detect a CD. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it contains music or is blank. I am unable to eject the CD. The system just doesn't recognize that a CD has been loaded.

    I  have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2. Frequently the system fails detect a CD. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it contains music or is blank. I am unable to eject the CD. The system just doesn't recognize that a CD has been loaded.

    Step one, boot the new MBA into recovery mode (CMD+R on startup), launch Disk Utility, wipe the HD, and restore the OS. On reboot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

    hub 6-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
    I can use my MP3 player in winxp,but can't use it int Vista,and Ubuntu also can't use it.Could you help me?

    I've been having the same problem with a usb stick of mine, the same error - unable to enumerate USB device.  I figure explaining my experiences here may help someone else trying to figure this out.
    This seems to be hardware related, unfortunately.  I don't know if anyone can correct me.  I have two laptops, one old one new.  Both use 2.6.29.  This one usb stick I have just wont work on the old laptop, regardless of kernel version or distribution.  Other usb mass storage devices work.
    I suspect that this is a combination between a kernel bug and hardware issues.  All google searches on this error seem to indicate that the only way people fixed this was through replacement hardware.
    I know that the usb flash drive I'm using has a hidden second volume on it.  A 1GB read writeable volume, and a 4MB volume that is uneraseable, includes a pdf document that came with it.  This is not a second partition, the OS sees it as a virtual CDROM drive.  (I got the stick for free at a conference.)  I don't know how this is implemented in hardware, but on other systems (on mac/windows/linux), a second volume appears after 10 seconds of insertion.  I suspect this quirk is what prevents me from using this as a usb boot stick too.
    My guess is that the usb device does not follow specification exactly, and borks on certain OS/hardware combinations.  I would call my usb stick broken, and it only manifests itself on some hardware.  The newman mp3 player may be similar, not following the usb specs 100%.  As you said, it won't work in Vista either.
    Do you have a different usb mass storage device that you can try?  Plug in a hard disk, a thumb drive, a different mp3 player, see if it works right away.  It makes me sad when hardware doesn't work on Linux, but sometimes that means a trip to ebay and newegg.  I'm going to be doing that with my thumb drive.

  • Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied

    I have an up-to-date system (full "pacman -Syu" yesterday), I am in a "lp" group and the printer (Canon Pixma MP270) started to give "Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied" error, although in the past it worked and still works in Windows.

  • IPod Shuffle 4G no Sync-Problem: Ejects USB device

    Hello,
    i got an iPod Shuffle (4. Gen) with some strange behavior.
    I connect it to my laptop or pc (Windows 7) and then i try to sync music with iTunes.
    It syncs about 30-150 songs and then i hear the "Eject-Sound" of usb devices
    from Windows and i got an Error message from iTunes that "not all objects could
    be transferred to the iPod. The iPod itself then is not listed in iTunes anymore.
    If I then plug out the iPod and want to listen to the music which it should have been
    transferred to the iPod it says: "Please use iTunes to sync music to this iPod"
    Plugging it in again theres the windows dialog if i want to "check and repair this device"
    Starting iTunes it says that all the space is free on the iPod.
    Somethimes I hear the sound from windows for the eject usb media permanent
    and cant copy anything to the ipod. I also tried "restore ipod" via iTunes several times
    but without success, problems exists further.
    I think, that perhaps the flash memory of the iPod is defective or something which
    has to do with the transfer process.
    I got another iPod (4. Gen) which works without any problems, with the same cable.
    So it must be something wrong with this iPod.
    The iPod is like 10 months old and in warranty.
    Should i send it in to Apple? I think this is a hardware problem....
    with kind regards

    You've ruled out a bad cable, a bad USB port on computer, and a software problem on the computer, because your other shuffle works fine.  And a Restore does not help.  That pretty much says the cause is a hardware problem on the shuffle.
    So, if it's under warranty, definitely have it checked by a tech before the year is up.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can do so at the store's Genius Bar.  You can make a reservation at the store's web page (not required but it may save you waiting time)

  • Unable to eject DVD after Win7 upgrade on Satellite L series

    I have finished the windows 7 upgrade.
    Everything went smoothly except thta at the end I was unable to eject the windows 7 upgrade DVD.
    Using the push button on it, or right click on the lector then eject, nothing happens.
    Should I look for drivers and where?

    Hi
    You dont need any drivers for that
    If the CD/DVD drive is connected properly then you should be able to eject the disk without any big troubles maybe something clams somewhere
    There is a tiny hole near the eject button use an small object like staple or something like that and put it carefully into this small hole. This should help to eject the disk.
