So, this seems like an easy one, but I could use a quick tip. Obviously, when I plug my external drive in, the system recognizes it and it appears on my desktop. However, if I eject it, do I always have to unplug and plug the USB back in to recognize it again, or is there a command that will prompt the port to be recognized, and save me the step of having to manually unplug and plug it back in? Thanks.

You could go to Disk Utility and use the MOUNT button.
