Help ejecting a USB media player

Hey Apple community support.

I hope someone can help me with this. I'm a decent person tech, but far from the level of knowledge that most people seem to have, so if you are trying to help them, don't forget not that I'm a novice you may literally he dumb down for me.

Problem:

I recently went on a trip and took lots of photos on SanDisk 32 GB cards. I have a docking station USB with the card inserted and recognized on the desktop of my MacBook Air. I started to transfer the files from the folder DCIM by selecting all the disk and try to move them to a folder I created on the desktop. The file transfer was fine, but time consuming. After an hour or two, I told him to stop copying. This function has never been resolved.

Solution try so far:

I try to eject the drive by dragging it to the trash (showing the eject icon when I go on it) and I get the message, "volume cannot be ejected because it is currently in use...". »

I open the activity monitor and tried to find the name of the reader, who is not listed. I left the USB drive options in the activity without result monitor. I can still see the red light on the media player.
I don't want to damage the photos of this once in a life journey, so I have not removed the USB media player without eject properly and did not attempt to stop the machine as one, that can be bad... and two, I doubt he'd let me without forcing an abandonment, although it may help me identify what process to kill so that I can restart.

Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?

I have what looks like most of the pictures in a folder on the desktop, is simply not sure if it's to each of them... and the problem so far (I don't know if it's because the media is always 'in service' or not) I can see the icons .jpeg, but he cannot click on it to see the pictures... (again once I guess because it is in use) but I'm afraid of losing data if they are not transfer completely...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Finder sometimes has problems when it receives a large number of files to copy - but this isn't a problem. On the other hand your initial problem (the copy of the slow copy files) may be due to a problem with the card. Once you have copied the files to reformat.

Failure of the Finder to leave a copy command is a fairly common problem that can be solved by stopping Finder. Hold down command and Option and then type Escape. This will bring up the menu to force out. Choose Finder and click Restart. It should restart on its own. If it doesn't, try clicking on the Finder on the dock icon. Sometimes you don't have the choice, but force him to leave the computer when the Finder dies suddenly. (Hold down power for 10 seconds).

Because Finder has not left the copy files are in fact still in use. Leave the Finder should solve this problem. Even if files in use error that appears you should get the option to force eject restarted Finder. Who will be safe to do so. Ejection of strength so that files are read is not dangerous - when they are written that it is.

Finally, try to copy a small set at once and not any map in one fell swoop.

  • Toshiba 32W2333 - how to use "User" preset mode USB Media Player

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba 32W2333.
    I am satisfied with the quality, but can not get a correct picture in USB drive mode.

    The 'Quick' button does not work in this mode, but I can choose the picture preset menu.
    the main problem is that each preset gives me oversatured colors and black and white differences...

    The "Movie" mode looks great, but it's much too dark!
    I would use my "User" custom mode to render similar but brighter, but I can't select it in USB mode...

    The version of the installed package is 1.05.09 (MP), November 6, 2013, and I've yet to find it on the site Web of Toshiba...
    It was installed by default, and I tried to reset the settings of the TV, withotu success.

    So, is it possible to use preset in the drive Media USB "user"?
    Or is there a way to custom, the 'film' preset directly (without saving it as a 'User' mode')?

    Or maybe what Toshiba should do a firmware update to be able to select in Media Player?
    (it seems that it is not the only relevant model)

    Thank you.

    Recommend checking the [user manual Toshiba W2333. | http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/W2333-32-English.pdf]

    On page 45, you will find all the details about USB movie playback mode

    Press MENU and by selecting the picture mode will provide options to improve the quality of the image.
    I guess that other parameters are not available while watching films of USB support.

  • I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

    Hello!
    I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

    Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

    The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
    have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
    install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
    Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
    Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from
    here:

    http://www.softwarepatch.com/Windows/windowsdvdmpeg.html

    If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can
    buy one on one of the links on this page:

  • How to copy the existing playlist on a sitck Flash USB or an SD card in Windows Media Player?

    In WMP v12 on Windows 7, I can sync music from my library (Albums, etc...) without problem to USB Flash Sticks and micro SDHC card etc.  And I can copy Playlists on my MP3 player, no problem. However I can't copy playlists on any USB Flash stick or SDHC micro card. How is that possible?

    Hello

    ·         What is a normal playlist or AutoPlaylist?

     

    Method 1:

    Check if the sync settings are correct. To do this, follow these steps.

    a. open Windows Media Player.

    b. click the arrow below the Sync tab, point to the device and then click Advanced Options.

    c. the Properties dialog box for your device is displayed. Tab sync, box start sync when device connects checkbox.

    d. restart the media player.

    e. the next time you want to sync, connect the device to your computer, click the Sync tab, and then click Start synchronization.

    For more information, please see the link below: set up a device to sync in Windows Media Player:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-device-to-sync-in-Windows-Media-Player

    Method 2:

    Add a device to sync in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.

    a. start Windows Media Player and connect your portable device into a USB port on your computer. A box of "Windows Media Player ‑‑ Device Setup" appears, showing that he recognized the device and provides an opportunity for you to name your device.

    (b) read how the player will sync your device, which is directly under where you type the name of the device. If storage of the device is more than 4 gigabytes, for example, and your library on Windows Media Player fits on this device, the player chooses automatic.

    c. selection of automatic syncing means that your device will reflect all your Windows Media Player library and it will do so that whenever it is connected. Click on "Finish".

    d. to synchronize only some of your library when the player chose automatic, you can choose what will sync when you open Windows Media Player. Click on the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.

    e. selection of a manual synchronization indicates that the player has detected that the portable device has no place for your entire library. Click on "Finish". Open Windows Media Player, select the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.
