If you're connected, and turn off/unplug the device, we will  
disconnect properly. If this isn't working for you please follow up  
with support.

You cannot mount the device at that time. The disconnect is more than  
physical, it requires the ActiveSync application on the device to be  
managing communication with the desktop. The easiest thing is just to  
uncradle/recradle the device, or you can turn it off, wait a few  
seconds, and turn it on.

It sounds like the plugins might be in a state where they aren't  
receiving messages from our application. Quit the Missing Sync app,  
then launch Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) and search all  
processes for "Mark/Space" - and then force quit those that come up  
(you'll likely see the plugins). Then you can launch the application  
again, connect up and go on your merry way.
