Eject problem

This may have a very simple solution to it, but i am having trouble ejecting a memory stick or camera from my MacBook.

I have never had trouble before with this. I have always highlighted it, went to 'file' then 'eject'. Now when i try this i keep getting a window telling me that it is still in use and to quit applications.

I have looked for any applications that would be associated with it eg, iphoto, word, imovie etc, and none of them are open. I have even tried dragging it to the trash and ejecting through the finder box.

Am i not seeing the woods for the tress here?????

Thanks in advance
