Ok im wondering.... When u access the mpc's harddisc through USB, and when u click "remove safetly" on your computer. Does your MPC disconnect by itself????
Cause when i click "remove safetly" it says that i can now remove the USB but still the MPC's USB TRANSFER MODE is connected? I always just take out the USB cause theres no other way... im just wondering if this is normal..

The manual seez that once yoiu "safely remove" the usb fromt eh CPU yoo can unplug the mpc........

window goes from "connected - to "not connected"
fromhere you can exit out of the LOAD screen

when i switched to windows 7, the mpc stopped disconnecting itself- i now have to power down the mpc, which is a pain if i'm working in a track, and just need to do one transfer, cuz i have to save everything before connecting- cuz once it's connected, you cant do anything else till it disconnects-

in windows XP, it still disconnects fine-

On a windows computer it will say disconnected. On a mac AFTER YOU EJECT THE DISK it will still say connected, you than have to physically unplug the usb. It is in the manual. I forgot the page.

Yes ofcourse lol im not stupid:P i dont think u got my thread...
when i click "remove safely" the MPC screen shows that its still "connected" and it is supposed to disconnect by its own.
so in order to move on i just have to plugg out the USB, but afraid that it can damage the MPC if i do it all the time.
