Perhaps Time Machine was still active? I always check its status in
menu extras before I eject the drive.

Well, how weird is this. I connected the disk, and to follow Brad’s advice,

Trash before attempting to eject the disk.
Make sure focus is on the disk icon on the desktop, or use

Hi ET,
Quite simply, when I press CMD-E, nothing happens. At all. VO says nothing. I

Any error dialogs? I've used this command on all kinds of external
drives including ones I use for backups. Have you run First Aid in Dish
Utility? What happens if you shut down, disconnect the drive, boot up,
connect it. Can you then eject it with command e?

Hi Donna,
Is the item you want to eject a backup drive? If so, go to Finder and VO-Left
and Right Arrow until you hear the name of your drive. Then do Shift-VO-M and
arrow down to eject. It may take a minute or two before the drive is ready to
be ejected.
Hope this helps.

Hi Donna, running Monterey on a 2020 Intel MacBook Air, as well as a 2018 intel
Mac mini, and command-e is still working fine to eject external volumes here.
