Disconnecting the USB Cable

If your device is connected to your computer as a removable drive or volume, you must safely disconnect your device from your computer to avoid data loss. If your device is connected to your Windows® computer as a portable device, it is not necessary to safely disconnect the device.

  1. Complete an action:
    • For Windows computers, select the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray, and select your device.

    • For Apple® computers, select the device, and select File > Eject.

  2. Disconnect the cable from your computer.
