I've been having some problems with ejecting disks while Pear Note for Mac is running. I'm curious if Pear Note might also be causing some issues that I'm having with Time Machine.

Example:
1. Insert a USB Drive.
2. Start a new Pear Note Document.
3. Start recording.
4. Try to eject the USB drive. It fails stating "the disk 'corsair' couldn't be ejected because Pear Note is using it."
5. Use Activity Monitor to look at the open files. I see that there are a number of files open on in .TemporaryFiles on every volume!
  
  /Volumes/BLACX WD2B/.TemporaryItems/folders.501/TemporaryItems/342136809.355313003063.mov
  /Volumes/CORSAIR/.TemporaryItems/folders.501/TemporaryItems/342136809.359831988811.mov
  /Volumes/CORSAIR/.TemporaryItems/folders.501/TemporaryItems/342136809.361756980419.mov
  /private/var/folders/9_/jvnhvvmx6lsg3648gh_vqvt00000gn/T/TemporaryItems/342136809.679503023624.mov
This seems odd. Any ideas on why these files exist? Any ways to avoid it? Anyone else having Time Machine problems? I suspect that I might be having them because of the locks being held on my Time Machine disk.

Hi David,

This is sadly a known issue that I can't do anything about. Pear Note uses QuickTime (the system framework, not the user application) under the hood to do its recording (as Mac apps generally do). QuickTime currently has a bug that causes it to put a few temporary files on USB drives when they are connected. I contacted the QuickTime team at Apple a couple years ago and they said they were working on the issue (see here if you're interested - http://osdir.com/ml/quicktime-api/2009-10/msg01659.html ). Unfortunately, I don't expect this to ever get fixed by Apple.

The bright side is that the next major version of Pear Note will move away from QuickTime for recording (at least when it's running on Lion) to something new in Lion called AVFoundation, which does not have this bug.

I don't know why this would cause Time Machine problems, though. Even if QuickTime put temporary files on the Time Machine disk, that would just prevent it from being ejected.

Makes complete sense. Thanks for the answer.

I thought it might be related to my Time Machine issues because one of the symptoms of that problem is that the time machine volume also gets in a state where it can't be unmounted. And it started around the same time I started using Pear Note. But now that I've run some more tests and you've explained the QuickTime issue, I'm starting to think it's unrelated. Both issues prevent the Time Machine volume from being ejected, but the QuickTime issue is clearly because of those temporary files and this Time Machine problem I'm experiencing is not as simple or as easily resolved.

Thanks again,

David

I'm curious if Pear Note might also be causing some issues that I'm having with Time Machine. I've been having trouble restoring my backups for the past few weeks, and I've been unable to find any information about the issue on the Pear Note website or in the Time Machine help guide. I've also trap the cat tried resetting my computer and restoring my backup from a different computer, but no luck. Do you have any information about this issue?
