Schleppy -

Apologies about the link; I found that www.pogoplugged.com had the page listing it, but didn't have the chance to check it actually was still valid ;(

I've now installed the new software - not quite as smoothly as I'd hoped, but it's working now and seems to do the job. Will just take a little getting used to. Seems the web UI navigation is a little idiosyncratic in places - there seems to be a lack of consistency, sometimes there are nice clear breadcrumb nav links, other times, not ?

At the moment things seem stable - on the old Drive software I kept finding the 1TB HDD (Q:) attached to my PogoPlug (P:) kept disappearing in Windows Explorer, and when I used the PP icon to reload the drives, I ended up with the PogoPlug as R: and the HDD as S:

If the new software has made things more stable then that's good.

I get the impressio that we all feel that it would be useful to have updated user guides available when new software versions are released.

Now if Cloud Engines could make my PogoPlug accessible from my Wii console that would be good!

I have not tried it on any PC but on my Mac it works great. I am glad the have changed it for my purposes. The old Pogoplug Drive did not work for Macs running their OS in 64 bit mode, because of the Macfuse app limitations. The new pogoplug app for mac works great in 64 bit. Mounts my drives fine and was able to set things up in minutes. I will comment later when I try it on a Windows machine.

Thanks for your reply, Schleppy. I submitted a support ticket.

Had the same problem on Win7. I had to:

1. Uninstall

2. Reboot

3. Install

4. Reboot

It worked.

I didn't get a clean install first time round. Like Alf Romeo I ended up uninstalling and revooting a couple of times.

I also did not go for an automaticreboot, but took the manual option, and before that on my Windows 7 system made sure that the PogoPlug app was given the "Run as Administrator" option.

Shall have to find some more time to explore the new set up.

I tried the uninstall and reinstall method on Windows 7.

After doing that, the drive letter came back!

I would like for Pogoplug to still provide a desktop only version that provides access to the file and not all the other features. I have uses that connect to the share just so they have copies of the files. Forcing more features on them will confuse them and make more work for me! Ug.

Having both solutions is the way to go!

Hi Hash
Network problem usually means the software has issues connecting to the service. This either means the Pogoplug service is down or you have a network issue. I recommend you contact support and add all the logs.
