I have several disks connected to my PogoPlug Pro.

Each was showing up on my OSX desktop separately, and together (depending on the Multi-Drive setting).  Yesterday, I inadvertently dragged two of them from the Finder sidebar, and the went <poof> and disappeared.  How can I get them back?  I tried to uninstall/reinstall... Any other suggestions appreceated.

If I am not mistaken, you should be able to find them at the root of your computer. I currently am set up with single drive and folders; I dragged i the pogoplug icon from the side bar and -- poof! However, all I had to do to re-add it was go to the root of the computer -- where all of the drives appear (the name of the computer, not of your root hard drive) -- and drag it back to the side bar. It "unpoofed" for me.

Not sure if that will work for me, but it would be better than a reboot.

Thanks.

@arfarf,

When you drag drives from your Finder Sidebar, you are effectively changing your Finder Preferences so that the drives you removed from the sidebar do not show up there anymore. The same thing will happen if you drag off other hard drives you have mounted on your machine. To get them back:

1) Open Finder Preferences
2) Go to Sidebar Tab
3) Under DEVICES, click the checkbox for "Hard disks"

They should reappear.

Note: Pogoplug drives get mounted at /Volumes on your Mac.

I generally have to reboot to get them back. That method didn't work last night until I rebooted.

What is the full path of the mounted drives on the iPad and iPhone?

That is quite odd indeed. We cannot reproduce that symptom here. What version of OSX and what version of Drive App are you running?

Regardng iPad and iPhone, the drives are only accessible through the interface of the the Pogoplug and Pogoplug HD apps.

Pogo Drive 2.5.5
OSX 1.6.5 (10H574)

On the iPad/iPhone they don't get mounted like a normal disk? I can browse the entire file system, so it's not an issue. Generally, I can't get the apps to work correctly on either platform. The non-HD seems more stable on the iPad. I posted on one of the threads in the idevice forum. Some other guy is seeing the same things I am, and was pretty descriptive.

The device seems to have crashed, and nothing is now available. I will have to wait until I return home to investigate (1-2 days).

My unit has 2.5TB connected via 3 drives (2 1TB, 1 500GB)
Firmware confirmed as 2.5.9

Ok, so now I'm home I disconnected all drives, and powered down the pogo. Then I powered up and reconnected the drives. They were all there. After a brief exchange between my MacBook and the Pogo, trying to dump about 7G to one of the 1TB drives.

I'm going to run with the console open and see if I can find anything suspicious.

Ok, two days later, I updated to the 64-bit MacFUSE and everything seems much better. I also turned off all the transcoding and conversion stuff the Pogo naturally wants to do.

I'm going to play around one the iPhone and iPad now, and also some Windows PCs. It seems the major instabilities for my MacBook/Pogo connection were in the way OSX was handling the filesystem, rather than the Pogo.
