"Disk Not Ejected Properly" message Following disconnection of all our equipment for house decorating, we get the above message, with the instruction "Eject "Time Machine" before disconnecting or turning it off. This recurs every time the computer is used, building up all down the right hand side of the screen. How can I stop it? Everything was switched off and / or ejected before the decorating. Time Machine is working as usual. Im sorry I posted this first in "High Sierra" but our OS is Mojave. Thank you for any help!

Time Machine backup disk won't eject in Big Sur My Time Machine backup won't eject in Big Sur. I looked on this forum but only found an old thread from 2015 (El Capitan). Time Machine is reporting it finished backup (eg 20 minutes ago), the hard drive doesn't seem to be writing, I have tried ejecting through Finder. but nothing happens. Disk Utility says it is not mounted and the drive is greyed out but it is still whirring and I get the usual "did not eject drive properly" if I manually disconnect. Ejecting through Disk Utility makes it start shutting down but then it automatically starts up again before I can disconnect. It seems to be an issue for others as well - see the MacRumours forum: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/taking-a-long-time-to-eject-time-machine-disk.2269534/ I am posting here in case others are having the same problem.

Can't eject my Time Machine backup SSD Sometimes when I open my laptop, I see a notification that my TM backup SSD was not elect properly. It is still physically mounted and Finder still recognizes it as mounted. The problem then becomes that I can't eject it. It stalls my restarts and I have to force it to shut down by holding the power button. When it wakes up, the problem is gone, but it soon returns with another notification. I decided I will start fresh and erase the disk, but since it can't be unmounted, Disk Utility is stuck loading.

Tough to tell exactly what the cause is, but are the backups completing? What Brand/Model drive is it?

Can even be a cable problem.

I had the same errors on 2 brand new WD USB3 drives, which actually never did complete a backup & both died withib a month.

This has been a reoccurring bug going back to High Sierra.

You can try going to ˘System Preferences˘Energy Saver> and uncheck "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"

test and report back.
