Just bougth a Sony NEX 5 camera. With previous camera's I would just unplug and/or turn off the camera after the download. With the Sony, my Mac tells me that I have not properly shut down or ejected the device and I should next time. The problem is, is that when the camera is plugged in, the choice in the File>Eject is grayed out and I cannot locate a disk on the desktop to trash.
Anyone know a solution?

Open a Finder window. You should see the camera on the left. Press the eject icon next to it. If that doesn't work, try ejecting it with Disk Utility.
try reformatting your memory cars using your camera's format command - you may have damaged ithe format by improperly disconnecting it

PS how do you like the NEX 5 - I am thinking about it
Mac OS 9000's answer was correct. Just weird that the camera would show up in a finder window but not in the finder>file choices. Also, my nikon and Canons never required an eject???
As for the Nex 5. I like it so far. Took it out Sunday and shot 150 photos at the State Fair. Nice colors, BW feature was fun as well. I have the 18-55 lens. Impressed with the clarity and speed.
There are Finder preferences that prevent certain drives from showing up on the desktop. I recommend going to Finder's preferences and checking all of the boxes for what to show.
