Can't Eject External Hard Drive Hello! I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and a WD My Passport for Mac 4TB, and sometimes when I want to eject it it says "one or more programs may be using it" and I can force eject, but I don't want to risk the contents of the drive. How can I find out what application is preventing me from ejecting?

I didn't eject my external hard drive now it will not reconnect Hi! As the title says, I had an external hard drive plugged to my macbook. It was working just fine but I forgot to eject it and now when I try to reconnect it, it is not showing up. I would really appreciate some help, I am desperate.

why does my external hardrive keep asking for me to eject it?? We have a problem with our external hard drive not ejecting on our 2013 iMac. I foolishly turned off the computer without ejecting it and later there were many error messages reminding me to eject before closing down. That has since stopped. When I try to eject it to see if that will reset it, there is no triangle icon to eject it with. I wonder if I have ruined it? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi! Thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately it hasn't worked :( It has become a real nuisance.
