On a one-to-ten priority scale of importance, this one ranks just below a “1”. But since it happens every time, and since I was in the middle of doings things today when it happened, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
If you use 10.6.8 on a Mac which is designed to run 10.6.8 (as supported by Apple), have you ever experienced your SuperDrive/Combo Drive on a MacBook Pro, MacBook, Mac mini, or Mac Pro running an automated ejection of media — even if there’s nothing in the drive — precisely at the strike of midnight?
If this does happen on other hardware, I wouldn’t know about it, since only two of my Macs run 10.6.8; one of those, from virtually the day I bought it new, has had an HDD caddy in lieu of of the SuperDrive. The Mac on which this is happening is my A1261 C2D Penryn MBP. I have not been able to figure out why this happens, or what process is behind it, and the system log doesn’t seem to indicate a trigger, either:
As noted, this is low priority stuff, but curiosity always gets the best of me. Cheers.
