I returned to Disk utility and saw that "owners" was now enabled. I have tried to put it in the Trash Can (same message), ejecting from Finder (there is the eject sign next to it) and right-clicking and eject.I had a look in the disk utility to see if the "owners' was enabled - it wasn't, so I did what someone said (click on WD folder, Get Info, Sharing & Permissions and I unchecked "ignore ownership to this volume". Now what is strange is that it is only the 1.75TB partition (the mac one) that is not ejecting - the small partition has already ejected no problem.Now I have everything closed except Opera browser. I copied from my old computer a few folders containing images, documents and music files.I have just finished my work and now would like to eject the WD My Passport, but every time and way I try, it says that "one or more programs may be using it". I was running Lightroom CC - I imported photos, edited & exported all to the WD My Passport.I used them both to transfer small folders to the new computer and one of these USB sticks ejected normally however, the other was the same like the hard drive - it was still 'in use'. There was one more thing which I did not mention - I had also used 2x usb sticks that I had regularly used with my old computer (which never had a virus on it). I did do a virus scan on the hard drive afterwards and it came back with 0 threats, thankfully. I am also extremely curious as to whether the threats had to do with it. I formatted the 2TB in 2 partitions, one small 250GB (MS-DOS FAT) as I had to transfer from an old windows system some photos, and a 1.75TB partition just the normal MAC OS Extended (Journaled).Yes, I saw that Spotlight was still running in the activity monitor but I didn't stop it and the hard drive ejected as soon as the threats had been removed by the antivirus. Can I have a virus or something? I have stopped all Adobe CC programs too.Please help! I do not really have a lot of computer knowledge - just basic stuff.Hi, well I formatted the volumes with Disk Utility on the old macbook 2009.
