Auto Eject 4+

Every time you sleep or shut down your Mac, Auto Eject will safely unmount (eject) all your removable disks in the background. Never care about those connected external drives before a clamshell close of your Macbook again.

Auto Eject(autoEJECT) will automatically eject all your removable disks when you close your MacBook's lid and will remount them upon Mac's wakeup!

Your external disks, flash drives, USB devices, SD cards, Firewire backup disks, DVDs, and even mounted dmg files will be safely ejected automatically when your Mac sleeps. Besides remounting all USB flash drives, it can also force all ejected portable hard disks to remount upon wake-up...

"I coded this app because I always forget to eject my iPod and flash drives before I close the lid of my Macbook Air and just yank it out of the computer at the last minute before running out… Each time I open the lid again, the red alert will pop up, telling me to be good! " - Jiulong, 2011

Tips:
1. To make autoEJECT manage your disks' ejection properly, please manually eject all your disks before you start autoEJECT, then keep autoEJECT running at all times. You may notice your disks' name listed on the menu under the item 'All Ejectable(Click to Eject):'.
2. Special devices are not guaranteed to be ejected, fortunately, they normally need not be ejected before unplugging. As long as your device's name is on the menu when you plug it in, autoEJECT will handle it.
3. Not as fast as the modern flash drive, some old USB portable hard disks may take additional time to wake themselves up or go to sleep. You may notice the actions by their sounds, so please just wait a few more seconds. :)
4. If some of your external hard drives do not remount themself automatically when Mac wakes up, please make the new option 'Force Remount upon Wake Up' checked.
