Waves USB key keeps "ejecting" in Logic X

I have a USB stick that contains my Waves plug ins licenses. I have never had an issue with this method in previous versions of Logic Pro; however, in Logic X I experience a nearly continual series of "Disk Not Ejected Properly" messages from the Waves stick. Any ideas ...?
Thanks in advance!

As a temporary workaround until a proper 'fix' is found for this issue...
Create a small text file using textedit and save it to the 'stick'
Now open the text file, minimize it and leave it open.... This should stop the 'stick' being ejected....
Note: Some older USB 2 drives/sticks have this issue under Mavericks and as yet no confirmed resolution has been found.. hence the workaround.. which has been reported as working quite well under these circumstances...

USB key keep connecting and disconnecting

Hello,
I've recently bought a Satellite L655D-12P computer and I have a Sony USB key ( USM8GL).
The issue is that my key connects itself to the PC, then disconnects, reconnects etc... and keep doing the same thing indefinitely every 5 seconds.
I don't understand why the 2 medias don't work properly. They seem to work well independently:
- My USB key (USM8GL) work well on XP, Vista and other 7 that mine
- My sister have the same model of USB key (USM8GL) and it's the same issue. Good for XP, Vista and other 7 that mine.
- I've another key (Sony Microvault 4 Go) which works good on my PC (and others of course).
It seems that something's wrong. Maybe a program that is not activated.
I've of course looked a little on the internet but I didn't find anything.
Once, I succeded to make work the both media together. I succeeded to change the letter of the key in the 'Computer' (H: --> L: for example). I had to do it very quiclky because the key keeps connecting and deconnecting every 5 seconds.
But I don't know why, it stopped working after about 10 tries.
So, of course, I would like that you help me. What can I do to fix this problem? That's really annoying...
Thanks

In my opinion there is not much you can do about it. Either it works or not.
Fact is that there is no special driver you need for it.
Try to connect other USB sticks for testing. Check it with SanDisK. It is the best and really high quality product. I am 100% sure it will work properly.
By the way: does the same happen on all USB ports?

USB Key Not Ejecting Properly

Hi,
My U3 USB key/drive is not ejecting properly from my Mac Pro. (OS X 10.4.9, 5GB RAM, 3 HD's).
When I click "Eject" the icon on the desk top disappears, and the light on the drive goes into 'sleep' mode (indicating it is still connected to the computer, but not in use).
And sure enough, when I pull the key out, I get a message saying that it has not been ejected properly.
I have read of others having problems with this, and have seen advice such as trying to close down the drive from disk utility, and shutting down the computer and rebooting. The former does not work for me, but the latter does.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,

Nothing comes to mind?
Are you opening files stored on the drive, or running applications stored on the drive?
Maybe it's like the message you get sometimes that says "files in use", but you're not getting the message.
 Cheers, Tom

USB key ejecting itself when transferring large files

I have a LG 16G USB key formatted in MacOS extended (journaled), I've been encountering a particular issue when I try to transfer files taken on another computer and copying them from the key to my Macbook pro ( OSX 10.6.2). after it start transferring it ejects itself with the "the disk was not ejected properly" message, then reappears right away in the finder...
the problem doesn't present itself when I copy a file from my macbook pro to the key, and then try transferring it back to my computer. and I've tried this with both small files (under 200mb) and large files (over 4G).
I've also noticed the transfer rate is very slow when this happens.
so far the problem only presents itself when I transfer files from one of the MacPro's in my university's studios, but since I work a lot on these machine, this is becoming quite a problem. I don't have the complete specs of these machines, they all run on Leopard, probably 10.5.something. not SL... perhaps that's the problem?
I've seen similar post on the forum concerning this issue with TimeMachine backup drives, suggesting it had something to do with the sleep preferences, however I've tried all the potential solutions from these post and the problem persists.
So far the only solution I've found has been to transfer the files to my girlfriend's macbook (running on tiger), and then transferring the files in target mode from her computer to mine... quite inconvenient...
I have a feeling this might be due to the formatting of my key, I have a 2G USB key formatted in MS-DOS (FAT32) and have had no problems with it so far. The reason I formatted in Mac OS extended is simple, I work in the video field and with HD I find myself often moving around single files larger then 4GB, which I've come to understand isn't possible in FAT 32.
I'd like to know how to resolve this, and especially like to know if it is indeed a format issue, since I'm soon going to acquire a new external hard drive for the sole purpose of storing my increasing large media files and would like to know how to format it.

Hi,
I have an external USB Card reader (indeed - two different readers), which have the same problems with self-ejecting disks. Every transfer of data from SD card from my camera is the pain now. There is many different themes related to the self-"the disk was not ejected properly" situation, but no working solution now.

I have Antares Autotune 7 with 64 bit compatibility already loaded onto my iLok USB key. How do I import the plug-in onto Logic Pro X?

I bought the update today because I was told that Logic Pro X needed 64 bit version of Antares Autotune 7. Now that I have bought and downloaded the license onto my iLok USB key, how do upload the plug-in onto Logic Pro X?

Have you installed the actual Audiounit (AU) plugin via it's installer, onto your Mac?
The iLok does not have the actual plugin on it... Just some code that the plugin checks... as part of its anti piracy system.

USB Key for Logic Pro

Hi,
I just bought Logic a few weeks ago and I must say that it's probably one of the best product I ever bought.
However, I hate the USB key that goes with it. I can't help being afrait of losing or breaking it.
Wouldn't it be possible to make such a key on a express card? This way it would solve that problem...
I would love not having to think about my USB key each time I travel with my music workstation...
Enjoy.

I have an original blue emagic key from when they were introduced(uhm... years ago). I use it everyday/all day with 3 different computers. It travels in my pocket(jeans or overcoat) unprotected. It has been soaked by rain (I don't have a car, and The Netherlands is a wet country) several times. Never had a problem. I hate softeware copy-protection because it will make me loose lots of time in the unavoidable event of some system crashes, and I much prefer dongles. Only problem is loss or theft, and stupid updates to the dongle driver software.
Of all the different dongles I've had only the obsolete NI Reaktor one stopped working at some point.

Cannot install Logic 8 Studio due to lost v7 USB key

I am wondering if someone can point me to the correct Apple support email address to address my problem. I have scoured these boards and can only seem to find email support for iTunes and iPod (sigh).
I have been a Logic user since the early Emagic days and have upgraded to every major version.
I have all my receipts dating back to Logic 5 from Emagic.
I bought the Apple Logic 7.2 crossgrade in February 2006, and the Logic Studio 8 upgrade in September 2007. At the time, my house was being renovated, so things were in boxes and life was in turmoil.
When I got Logic Studio 8, I installed it successfully on my MacBook Pro using the v8 serial number and the USB key.
Now that my renovations are finished and I've moved back into my house, I need to install v8 Studio onto my G5 tower which has been optimized for my music production. When I went to install it, it asked me for either my earlier serial number (none of my old Emagic numbers worked from earlier Emagic receipt emails) or it asked me to insert my USB key from v7 which appears to have been lost in my move (I have turned the house upside down looking for it).
So I am currently stuck. I cannot install v8 Studio and I would like to contact Apple via email with all my receipts and order information to see if there is anything they can do to help me out. I registered both v7.2 and v8 online during the installation process, but unfortunately (unlike Adobe or Native Instruments) there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the Apple site where I can log in to look up serial numbers for previous registrations.
This is really frustrating. I've spent hundreds (maybe thousands) supporting Logic over the years and I'd be really ****** off if I have to go and buy the full version of Logic 8 again.
So, if any can advise me the best path to follow in contacting Apple about this for assistance, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I just got off the phone with Apple support and they were extremely helpful. I explained my situation, and luckily I was armed with every Apple invoice for Logic that I had since it took the product over, and all my earlier emails (circa 2002) with Emagic. I was also 'showing up' in Apple's system so they were able to verify my purchases from my Apple Web Order numbers.
The support agent asked me for my old Emagic XS key number, which I luckily had in a very old email. He then offered me two options: a) I could buy a new Logic 7 dongle for $90, or 2) if I wasn't going to be using Logic 7 anymore, he could generate a new full retail serial number for Logic Studio 1.0 (v8) for me. The latter was my choice, and I do not need to have my old XS key, or any old serial numbers to now install Logic Studio.
I did wait 30 minutes for my call to be answered and about another 10 minutes while the agent went off to check some stuff and generate the new serial number - a small price to pay instead of having to go and buy the whole thing over again!

HT2494 Usb super drive is not playing my dvds. keeps ejecting them. It is brand new

USB SUPER DRIVE IS NEW. MAC IS NEW. THE DRIVE IS NOT ACCEPTING MY DVDS. KEEPS EJECTING THEM.
I HAVE THE MAC, 21.5 INCH INTEL BASED DESK TOP

I have the same issue wherein my external usb superdrive is ejecting the DVDs.
When I had the Snow Leopard, I was able to copy the DVDs into my hard drive, or even just watch DVD films. Since I have the Mountain Lion, the DVD films which I used to be able to watch were not able to be read anymore ... it ejects them.
I did not notice it when I upgraded the Mountain Lion, because I did not watch any new DVDs. Noticed this only couple of months back, and been searching for the solution.

New iMac new usb super drive but disc keep ejecting

I am a new user of a new imac, installed new usb super drive but disc keeps ejecting.

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Snow leopard installation dvd keeps ejecting on Mac Mini

HI,
I have a Mac Mini, 1.83ghz, intel core duo, 2gb 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM running OS Leopard 10.5.8.
Im trying to install snow leopard from the dvd onto the mac and it keeps ejecting it.
It wont even mount on the desktop, can anyone help?
Ive restarted holding the 'c' key but it still ejects the dvd. The dvd doesnt look damaged or scratched either and have disconnected all my peripherals as well.
Cheers Pete

Pete,
This may sound so simple but it may be the problem. Unplug your USB keyboard and just plug in your mouse. Then insert the DVD. If it stays in, you have a sticky key on the keyboard. Cleaning your keyboard may be all that it takes.
Otherwise, your optical drive is not recognizing the platter and you have more serious issues. Rule out the easy and obvious first.

IMac keep ejecting my 2TB external HDD but in safe boot mode it is totally fine. How to resolve the problem?

Hi,
I have WD 2 TB external HDD. It has two partitions, one I use for my time machiine backup and one for my personal files and documents. Recently the iMac keeps ejecting the external HDD as soon as it gets connected to the iMac. I tried to reboot the computer in safe boot mode (by holding down the shift key at startup) and found out that problem is not there anymore. I can access my external HDD there and it never ejects the HDD.
It seems like the HDD is fine, the problem is with the iMac. Can anybody please give any solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Thanks Allan for your reply!
It makes sence that there must be some log in /start up item which is causing this problem. I went System Preference>Users & Groups> Login items> disabled all the items there to make sure, and restarted the computer but the problem is still there
Is there any other way to stop/configure the log in items?
Thanks again!

Mac Keep Ejects Installation Media, Hard disk is empty, How to install OSX

I installed Ubuntu in my Mac Mini, Later my apple wireless keyboards pairing is not working and to pair i need to have OS X installed, since no osx installed, to boot i used to press the option key. So now I formated linux, now my hard disk is empty no partition or nothing. But the problem is my mac mini keeps ejecting OS X installation media (original dvd set came with mac mini) but I can boot from ubuntu live cd. How can I solve this problem. Some one told me to reset my pram, but I was unable to do it. Pressing Command Option P R does nothing. Please help me out. without my machine working I'm like a dead man.

Yeah I managed to get one, and tried c key to boot from the disk. It doesn't work. The current status of my machine is. My hard drive is clean (unpartitioned space, I formated it). Still Mac Ejects OS X installation media which came with the mac mini, But I can boot using Ubuntu,Solaris,etc disks and I can install them. How can I install OS X in this situation. Since I'm doing my PG course in Computer Science, the system is an urgent stuff for me.. Please help me out.
And why mac is ejecting the actual original installation media even when it's taking all other disks ?? I tried two different disks to make sure if it's the trouble of the disk, but that's not the case. I only ejects OS X disks and ejects all OSX Disks (i tried tiger disk, and leopard disk)

How to include artworks and artist name onto download playlists to a usb key

Hi!
I used the "COPY/PASTE" function of WINDOWS to copy ITUNES PLAYLISTs onto a USB key to be used in my car. All the songs play well and the display shows the titles. However, the display does not show the ARTWORKS and artist name.
Is there a way to display this information with the new version of ITUNES. With my older version, I used to see all this info.
Thank-You,
Michel
