pogoplug

I have been using Pogoplug on my older Macbooks running OSX Lion with no issues, I can see my NAS and the Pogoplug shares.. I recently purchased a Macbook Pro running OSX Mountain Lion, Pogoplug is running and their "backup software" see the NAS device but the devices will not show up in Finder. I can use the web interface but that is clunky for large amounts of data. Google comes back with some issues with NFS and Samba but these disk should mount at boot without messing with the OS. Anyone else see this?

Any updates on this? I just bought a pogoplug myself and my PC can see all the network drives, but my Mac can't. None of the drives I attached to the pogoplug can be seen in finder like they previously could in older versions of OS, but not on Sierra...

1: Update OSX to 10.8.3

2: Reset PRAM

3: install DEEPER.APP

(Deeper is a personalization utility for Mac OS X. It makes it possible to configure some hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock, QuickTime, Safari, iTunes, Login window, and of some of Apple's own applications. FREEWARE) http://www.titanium.free.fr

4. after installation, open Deeper and go to the MISC tab and click "ADD OTHER FORMATS OF DISK IMAGES"

Now you should be able to see your volumes. If not, go back to Deeper and choose the FINDER tab and make sure "SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS" is checked.

That did it for me.

Thanks Jamie.

I have macOS Sierra (10.12.1) in my MacBookPro. The Deeper version for it (2.1.5) does not have the "ADD OTHER FORMATS OF DISK IMAGES" option listed in the MISC tab.

Any suggestions?

I have had the same issue since I updated my macOS to Sierra.

The pogoplug drives are no longer visible in Finder. This was a great convenience.

I was hoping that the macOS update released today (12/17/2016) would have addressed this issue.

I would appreciate any advice.
