I have a fix.
Use Applescript Editor to create the following script.

tell application "PogoplugMonitor"
quit
end tell

Save the script as an application and add then add it to your login items in your user profile.

Hello Steve,

Thank you for the update and apologize for the confusion.

I would like to ask you to please do as followed:

1) Log into your account on OSX
2) Pogoplug Drive and Remote Access should auto-launch; you should also manually launch Pogoplug.app.
3) While the app is running, issue the next command in the terminal:

/Applications/Pogoplug.app/Contents/MacOS/Pogoplug --uninstall

At this point the app should quit completely. The next time you log out and back in, the application will not automatically launch.

I hope this information helps.

Best regards,
Gali

It has put itself back as a login item under Users and Groups in System Preferences. Go there and delete it from the list.

this was done first thing. this is not the solution. the terminal command previously sent (see above) doesnt work anymore. it produces a "command not found" response

Yep. Sorry about that. you're talking about the the drives opening, not the the Pogoplug Backup app. The script I described in my March 11 post still works for me. I also created one that starts the drives up. Just replace "quit" in the script with "activate".

PROBLEM SOLVED

i examined the opening script in terminal and figured out the new script should be:
/Applications/Pogoplug\ Backup.app/Contents/MacOS/PogoplugBackup --uninstall

instead of:
/Applications/Pogoplug.app/Contents/MacOS/Pogoplug --uninstall

So here is the new drill:

1) Log into your account on OSX
2) Pogoplug Drive and Remote Access should auto-launch; you should also manually launch Pogoplug.app.
3) While the app is running, issue the next command in the terminal:

/Applications/Pogoplug\ Backup.app/Contents/MacOS/PogoplugBackup --uninstall

At this point the app should quit completely. The next time you log out and back in, the application will not automatically launch.
