An operation timed out

Updated October 2, 2026

What it means

A step took longer than expected and was stopped, so nothing was changed on the drive.

What to try

  1. Wait a moment and choose Try Again.
  2. Plug the drive in again, then choose Refresh Drive List in Unbit.
  3. If it keeps happening, restart the Mac and try once more.

Still stuck?

In Unbit, open the gear menu and choose Copy Error Report, then include it when you ask for help. It contains no passwords, drive names or file paths.
