Improperly ejected external HD ?

GK27V6 · Sep 5, 2009

Ok so I just moved into rez a week ago for my first year of college (w00t). One problem though: I have my external Time Machine HD plugged in pretty much all the time. This includes the times when I put my MB's lid down. After I put it up, I always get the message that I improperly ejected the drive... This never happened before, only since I moved to here, which is weird. Any ideas what's going on here?

I think that what your computer wants you to do is drag that external hard drive to the trash can (which is the same as "ejecting" the hard drive)...before you close the lid of your laptop.

Then when you "wake" your laptop back up...you shouldn't get that message.

Thank you captain obvious.

The problem is that this message shouldn't show up after waking up the computer. Whatever, no big deal anyway.
