If you have the same problem, this is how to solve it, short of shutting down your computer. Put your computer to sleep, and then the iPod will unmount and you can safely disconnect it. This doesn't make sense to me, but it works.

My G5 iPod often won't unmount after copying things to it from my PowerBook running 10.3.9, though I never have problems with my other Macintoshes running various other systems, or with my other iPods. I get a message saying that the iPod was being used by another application, even after all applications were closed, including restarting the Finder, and even after logging out and logging back in.

It could also be spotlight indexing the ipod if you have disk mode enabled.

Well, not in this case I guess, as the hint author mentions Mac OS X 10.3.9. ;)
How to unmount an iPod that won't unmount
Wish this worked for when I'm trying to unmount my camera media cards. When I eject them in iPhoto or the Finder, they just remount. This happens both in my Macmini and my Powerbook. Anyone have suggestions for a fix?
How to unmount an iPod that won't unmount
I have the same problem too. I have disk use enabled and usually find that if I wait a minute or so and then eject the ipod from the finder this will unmount it.
How to unmount an iPod that won't unmount
I have the same problem with an SD card reader. The trick is to use Disk Utility to unmount the card which appears as a drive then just pull the reader out of the USB socket. Otherwise iPhoto keeps trying to mount it. Works in Leopard too. |
