For me I just log out until I can find what's open on the HDD.
My Book 4 TB Can't Turn Off
I have an older WD My Book (1Tb) that I can turn off with the switch on the back. I just bought a new My Book 4 TB but it does not have a on/off switch. I set the password on the new unit but cannot turn it off. When I click on the icon to safely remove the unit I get this:
Warning: The device My Book USB HDD could not be removed. Please close all running programs and try again later. I do not have it running all of the time. I only want to turn it on when I backup like the older unit does.
Any suggestions? Thanks
