cannot eject external hard drive with Aperture library on it

Hello

in recent weeks, I can't eject a hard disc with the Aperture library on it. A dialog appears saying that an Application is still in use, but opening is closed and there is nothing else on the external drive (Seagate 2 to).

Yesterday, I moved my library on a Lacie Rugged drive. Always the same question.

What could be the reason for this?

Eddd you change Aperture preferences recently? Perhaps the preview preferences or XML part?

    Hi Itay,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you get this error "the application \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe prevents this device to be stopped. Close the application and then try to stop the device again. "Whenever you try to eject the external hard drive.

    You may get this message if Windows was started with the inserted disc. Try to wait until Windows is completely loaded before inserting it, then if you try to eject it doesn't work.

    You can try the suggestions below and check if it helps.

  • How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

    I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time.

Then attach the external hard drive to my HP 15 laptop by usb port and install Hp recovery disks from the external hard drive. Is someone can you please tell me if HRT is possble.

  • Eject external hard drive

    I have a brand new MacBook Air, I bought only a couple of days.  I've been sorting through photos using my external hard drive and I get messages saying "hard drive not ejected correctly" even if I have not disconnected it.  I had this drive hard for a few years and never had this problem before, so I have to conclude that this is the new computer.  I've seen this question asked a few other places, but cannot find a resolution-nobody knows how to solve this problem?  Thank you!

    Have you tried all the USB ports?

    Have you tried different cables?

    You can make an appointment with an Apple store genius bar and technicians evaluate the MBA.  Put the drive external HARD with you.

    Ciao.

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

  • Cannot load external hard drive .itl file

    I'm trying to migrate my itunes to an external HD to new computer, Windows 10.

    The old computer had reached a miserable end of life due to obsolescence and lack of resources.

    For example, shortly before he died, I thought how to move all files including the media and the. ITL and the. XML for the EHD files.

    It seems that this may have complicated problems for the current process.

    The former. ITL file is there and intact. I try to IMPORT PLAYLIST, which is the closest thing to what I think I need, and it says that the file cannot be imported because it doesn't seem to be a valid exported file.

    I try to import the .xml and it is said that some of the songs in the Itunes music library file were imported not because they are not found. It means everything.

    I tried to hold the ALT key and open Itunes, as seen somewhere, but it's apparently a MAC function only. Windows opens a properties box, will not open the program and allow selection of the library as described.

    I also just tried dragging the .itl file itunes such as discussed in migrating to a new computer, but appears not to work either.

    If the old computer worked in anyway I will try to export the file. But alas, this is not an option.

    I currently complete my collection, but any piece of data has disappeared. I would really like to return?

    Thanks for nothing.

    Frank

    Hold down the SHIFT key while you start iTunes.  When you arrive it is fast:

    Click choose a library... then navigate to and select the iTunes Library (.itl file) hard disk external.  This is the only way to get iTunes to use a specific library - import, a double click, etc. have no effect.  Once you've done this iTunes will continue to use the library selected (without having to use the SHIFT-Start option) so that the external hard drive is connected and its drive letter does not change.

    You may need to check the layout of your iTunes library on the external HARD disk is correct - it should be like this:

    More specifically, the iTunes Library.itl file should be in the folder that contains the iTunes Media folder.  See tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

  • cannot use external hard drive 1 TB for readyboost

    can I use my 1 TB WD external hard drive (fat32) for readyboost... I have win 7 home premium (64-bit) & 2 GB of RAM right now I get a message saying that this device (1 TB drive) cannot be used for readyboost... but I can easily use readyboost when I insert my 4GB kingston USB...

    To see the true performance increases you'd be better by upgrading the amount of RAM you have. I am surprised that you have Windows 64 bit with only 2 GB of RAM...

  • Using an external hard drive with El Capitan

    I connected a Toshiba external hard drive in a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 to back up some files.

    First, he asked if I wanted to use it for time machine. I selected "decide later".

    Then, I realized that I could not create a new folder on the hard drive, or I could stick anything on it (to save).

    I could copy the HD stuff and paste on my desktop only, but not what I need...

    What is a typical problem? Is it because I chose to decide later? Has anyone encountered this before?

    (p.s. Please also indicate if the question category, I chose should be changed)

    This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac. To check, select the volume in the Finder, choose information, look at the format.

    In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.
