I just noticed a strange thing on my Macbook, so please stay with me while I describe the system and the problem:
System: MacBook 13, late 2008 model, with 2.4 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, running OS-X 10.8. Aperture 3.3.2.
Problem: After I import some pictures in my Aperture library, using a Transcend card reader, I get the message to delete or not the imported pictures. I check the Eject card box and ask for the pictures NOT to be deleted (I always format my cards in my cameras). Well, the problem is that the card doesn't get ejected. If I remove the card from the reader, I get the well-known error message about not removing the disk before ejecting it properly etc.
I believe that I've seen the same issue at home (currently on vacations) on my iMac, but I can't verify it at this moment.
Has anyone else seen this? If yes, do you have a fix? I know it is not very significant, I can always eject the card from the Finder, but… you know, it's troublesome enough.
There was a change in how it works. Im now use to the new way, and it works better for times where you have two projects on a single card. Anyway…. once you eject the card through AP look for the card icon on the desktop and throw that in the trash to eject it from the system. then you can pull the card from the card reader. Cheers

John and DBmoore,
Hm, something is wrong for both of you. The Aperture eject should eject it from the system, not just from Aperture. I haven’t experienced what you’re talking about at all, and I just verified that it does in fact eject from the Finder when ejected in Aperture.
I found a similar discussion on the Apple boards (DB, I see you were there too).
Dig though the ~/Preferences folder for something to trash that has to do with mountable media. Maybe even the Finder preferences? Sounds like a corrupted preference to me. An easy way to isolate that is to make a new user and see if you can replicate the problem there.

I don’t think this is an Aperture issue. I think it’s a Finder/OS issue.
