the other day i hooked my camera up to my powerbook to transfer some pics and they werent good so i unhooked the camera and took another pic. when i hooked it back up to my powerbook it didnt show up. same thing with my external hard drive i got today. is there some simple way to fix this without having to restart?

whats wrong with restarting?

[tracemhunter]

i dont like to do it. even though it only takes like 15 secs.

when you say unhooked do you mean yanked the cable out or did you properly unmount it? same question applies for the HD.
