It's so lame, but you just have to work around it since Apple won't ever fix it. I have used both Jettison and Mountain to manually manage mounting and dismounting, and also Caffeine to keep the Mac awake. I manually sleep after dismounting. Annoying, but better than losing a drive, which has happened to me. Jettison eliminates the hassle of manually ejecting external drives before you put your MacBook to sleep. With Jettison, you just close your MacBook, unplug and go! Limitations: 15-day trial. Versions:. Download is for current version. Version 1.6 for OS X 10.7-10.13 Requirements: OS X 10.9+ Intel.
Jettison (Mac App Store link) doesn’t offer as many bells and whistles as UnDock, but it has one unique advantage: It’s entirely automatic. With Jettison running, you simply close your MacBook’s. Please do the following: Delete all copies of Jettison from your Mac. Open the App Store application and click on the Purchases tab. Find Jettison in your list of purchases and re-download it. Visit our website again and download Jettison from Click on the.dmg. Jettison – the app will automatically unmount your Mac’s external drives before your computer goes into sleep mode. Simply put, as soon as you close the lid of your Macbook, all your connected external drives will be unmounted, including Time Machines. The developer guarantees that the Time Machines backup will be correctly stopped and unmounted, even if incremental backup operations are performed at that moment.
