[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1932507, member: 396914"] Try this. Next time it won't eject, use CMD-Tab to see what apps are running. Quit them all (but Finder, that one won't quit and will immediately restart). Then see if you can unmount the drive. It also might be Spotlight indexing the drive that has it open. As for the fingers-crossed situation, I would suggest that if these images are important to you (I know they are) I would have a duplicate of the library on a different drive and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync to keep them in sync. I lost several thousand images when my hard drive died AND my backup drive died the same day, so now I have 4 copies, all on different drives (one is a RAID array) connected different ways (USB, Network, Internal) because I'm paranoid about it.
