USB Eject - Seems to not completely Eject

On my wife's Macbook with tiger, when she ejects using the finder eject button, the blue light on the USB Stick goes from flickering to solid ON. The key does disappear from the finder's list of devices, but the blue light remains on. On other mac's or PC's the blue light goes off after eject is complete. She has noticed also after ejecting on the Mac, the key gets hotter.
Sounds bad!
Anybody got a clue? Sounds like a firmware or possibly hardware problem. But other USB devices all work perfectly. I may upgrade it to leopard, perhaps there's some USB driver fixes in it.

Hello,
Well, I don't think it's a problem you need to worry about.
The same thing happens with my Sandisk Cruzer Micro. The light stays on even after it is ejected from OSX. (But the light does go off when I unplug the device.) I find this undesirable, but doesn't effect functionality at all so I just ignore it. I think it is mostly because Sandisk engineered the device to have the dumb U3 functionality.
Oh and the key is hot because the macbook's USB port is hot, not because the key itself is generating heat. If you plug anything in the MacBook's USB port, no matter what it is, it will feel hot to you when you unplug it and touch the tip.

HT1725 I purchased a book and although it is shown in my library the word "paused" is written across it and I cannot access. i presume the download did not complete, but can't seem to fix it.

I purchased a book in advance. It is now in my library, but the word "paused" appears across the book and I cannot access. I assume the download did not complete, but I cannot seem to fix it. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping upward on the app window (not the smaller icon) off the screen.
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.

Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
Any other suggestion?
Pls help

Damaged Psd file from improper usb eject

I was using a somewhat loose fitting usb device to store one of the files I was working on. Unfortunately my mac had "issues" and needed to be manually shut off with the usb still plugged in. Anyway, I go to open the psd file from the device and I get this error message "This document contains photshop data which appears to be damaged. Continue and ignore the photoshop data?" I clicked okay and then I get this message "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version on photoshop."
I am in dire need of help. Stupidly that was the only device I saved this psd file on. I've been working on it for days. Is there any way to get that file back?
Any help would be great!

If you are (extremely) lucky, you may be able to open the flattened composite or an embedded thumbnail preview in Graphic Converter or in Illustrator, but your layers are most likely toast.
Bummer.

Download of a rented movie seems to go OK, but ends with: we could not complete your itunes store request. an unknown error occurred 5103

When downloading a rented movie, download seems to go OK, but ends with We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred 5203, please try again later. This has been going on for days so I assume it is something wrong with my computer set up. I have tried a number of configuration changes recommended on line with no change in results.

Perhaps try the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

USB file copy very fast and not completed

Hello
when I try copy big files ( about 700 MB for example ) to USB device my copy speed is very fast ( about 55 MB/S ) and Copy the file is not completed. Any one can help me to solve this problem?

Linux usually doesn't copy the files all at once. You can force it to flush all
remaining data by unmounting the USB device, which will take quite a long time
if you do it immediately after issuing the copy command.
I think there is a mounting option that forces all data transfer to be done
synchronously, in case you prefer that.

Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. when l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Pls help

Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?

Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

Why do I get a continued msg that a script is not completing. It seems to be slowing my Mac: "Script: chrome://forecastfox/content/observers.js:1

A pop-up window keeps appearing with the message that a script is not completing correctly - " "Script: chrome://forecastfox/content/observers.js:1" I'm given the choice to a) let it continue in the hopes it will complete or b) cancel. No matter which choice I make, the little window persists up in the corner of my screen and then sometimes brings itself to the front again, so I get to make the choice all over again. Most annoying also because I can't close the little pop-up...it hides itself in the top left and appears as a small blank there. I have the distinct impression that it's making my Mac run slower... and I would love to get rid of it. It's not related to Firefox 5...it was there before with the previous version, too...and is one of the reasons I upgraded. I don't want Chrome, by the way...so it's also annoying to see its name in the offending script-name. I took a screen shot but can't figure out how to attach it to this description. It happens every time I open Firefox...not immediately but after a while.

Disable or uninstall the ForecastFox extension.

IPod will not complete updating

After installing iTunes version 7 (and subsequently v 7.0.1) my 60BG iPod (v1.2 installed) will not complete the updating cycle while syncing. Everything appeared fine after the first updating attempts and iTunes recognizes the device after cradling the unit, but the update sequence continues hours on end, with no indication of files being exchanged in the status bar. I can abort the update by ejecting the iPod, but then all my play lists and Podcasts disappear from the iPod’s menu (fortunately my core library remains).
I reset the iPod and reinstalled v1.2, again with no issues with the initial update of my 5,200+ songs, but all subsequent update attempts seem to hang indefinitely.
Any ideas? I have already assigned a new drive letter (i:) for the device.

I have the same problem. A brand new G5 Tower, OS 10.4.8, brand new 30GB iPod Video and updated iTunes, 7.0.2. I keep getting stuck at song #112 when both iTunes and iPod just "stall". The flashing Do Not Disconnect continues to flash on the iPod, iTunes continues to indicate "Updating" - but nothing is happening. Earlier, during the 1st update attempt, the clock also froze on the G5. I tried force quitting iTunes when it stalled and couldn't. I ended up just disconnecting the iPod from the USB hub and then all **** broke loose. EVERYTHING FROZE - could not get out of anything, G5 would not reboot and began making this incredible noise - a loud fan came on and I thought it was going to blow up! The G5 is so quiet, but it appeared to be in some major type of distress with this fan just roaring. Eventually had to unplug from the power source and shut the whole thing down. I'm trying to upload some songs again but it's stuck at this "stall" stage again.
ANY IDEAS FROM ANYONE????????

"Could not complete the iTunes store request..."

I'm having the same TYPE of issues everyone else seems to be having, but with this message:
"Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later"
and it ONLY occurs at:
1) iTunes HOME page
2) Browsing Music Videos
all other iTunes pages work. What is going on? I thought Apple beat Microsoft when it came to usability, but this really stinks! I've run diagnostics and iTunes has NO problem seeing that I have a working internet connection!
Anyone else have this exact problem and have suggestions?

I am getting this excact same error message, except for me no page will load except for the Account Settings page. I've tried nearly everything short of reformatting, I have the latest version of iTunes, I used the Repair Disk Permissions tool, verified my KeyChain, checked my firewalls.
However, I have found a detour around this problem. If you use the Browse feature (the little eye icon next to the Eject botton) when the iTunes tab is open, you can find artists, however, the Popularity ratings don't seem to work

IOS update does not complete

I recently had an issue where only the header on my two different email accounts would display. I figured I would sync my phone ande check for updates to see if a patch would fix it. It seems the IOS 5.0.1 was able to download, but my iTunes could not complete the push to my phone. It stayed around the 25% complete indicator all night. iTunes will not let me eject my iPhone due to currently running the update.
I have the Iphone 4 and loaded IOS 5.0 appx two weeks ago.
Is my only option to factory reset?

There have been other questions about the update haning up and the recommendation is that if you are stuck at the Apple scrreen for more than ten minutes, force the unit to restore.

HT201210 I tried to update my Iphone 4S & was sent an error message telling me to restore my phone & did so & now my phone is unable to be used because it will not complete the restoring process & is locked in this screen not letting me use it at all.

I was trying to update my software to on my phone and it would not let me do so sending me a message to restore my phone before I can complete an update so I did this but it would not complete the restore and was sent another message stating that my phone is already in recovery mode and a restore needs to be completed before I can update any software. I have tried this four times now and my phone screen is stuck with the Itunes symbol on it along with a picture of the plug. It will not let me eject or do absolutely anything. I cannot use my phone at all. I have even tried to shut it down and turn it back on which still did not help.

and error code or the exact msg would help

Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
What is causing it?
I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
Thanks!
Computer specs:
Windows 7 Pro - 64-bit
12 GB Ram
750 GB OS hdd where PS is installed
2 TB Media drive where the files are being pulled up from/saved to.
Intel i7 x980 3.33 GHz
GeForce GTX 470 with 1280 MB dedicated memory
Logged in as administrator.

Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened? Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
Thanks!
PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.
