Can't enable disk protection

I have a new install of Windows Multipoint Server 2012. I would like to enable the disk protection feature, but when I do, I get the following message:
Multipoint Manager
The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
I have looked for a way to uninstall and reinstall Disk Protection, but the option that appeared in previous versions of the OS seems to have been removed.

Duh. Pressing the "Apply" button at the bottom right corner of the iTunes window likely would have done the trick too.

All music gone, transferred to 'other', can't enable disk use on iTunes

it seems like there are a lot of people with similar problems but nothing exact..here goes:
-doing research on my macbook and i get a popup from itunes saying that my ipod was disconnected improperly (i didn't touch it and i wasn't even messing around on itunes)
-ipod restarts and reconnects with itunes and i get another pop up saying that "itunes cannot read the contents of the ipod. go to ipod summery and preferences and restore.
-i would just restore it and reload all the music butttttt like an idiot..i dont keep my music in my itunes cause it takes up way too much space and i never used any external hard drive or anything to back my music up (again..idiot..i know)
-so i read though a ton of forums and posts and see that im not the only one that this has happened to and everyone is saying to put it in disc mode, go to removable disk, copy all the music back to my macbook, restore my ipod, and put all the music back on. i also read something about clicking on my ipod icon on my desktop and going under ipod controls and changing some names (i dont konw if that was jsut for windows or what) but i also dont have an option of ipod controls
-the problem with that is that i can put my ipod into disk mode but that does me no good because i can't enable disk use on itunes because literally..my only option when i plug in my ipod is to restore it. under devices on the left hand menu, it just says ipod..not ipod with a bunch of sub categories like music and playlists and stuff..just ipod.
-normally..i would just give up and restore it but when i go to the about section on my actual ipod, it says that i have 50GB of "other" so that means that stuff is definitely still on it.
-so finally..my main question is:
is there ANY way to enable disk use on my iTunes without doing it through my iPod?..like i explained..when i plug my iPod in..that is not an option. and also..would i benefit from just bringing my laptop and ipod into an apple store and asking for help there or will that just be a waste of time?

The library on the iPod will have been damaged - hence the reason it appears empty, but the media files are still there taking up space and reported as "Other". Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod recovery options.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6273675&#6273675
Some of the tools mentioned will require a working library, but I know from experience that you can use the manual recovey method when the library is missing or damaged. If you're struggling for space you probably need to go & buy an external drive before you start. Stick the iPod in disk mode. Hold Menu+Select > 6 seconds (resets iPod) followed immediately by hold Previous & Select > 6 seconds. You can now drag the contents of iPod_Control\Music to your new hard drive. You may need to reveal hidden files & folders. Once they are on your hard drive you can create a new empty library on the drive, then import the files you have reovered and consolidate the imported library so that the files are in a standard artist\album\## track structure rather that the iPod's obscured names.

Can't enable disk use for restored shuffle

My shuffle stopped playing music in March. I continued using it as a removable disk. I tried the restore utility and it worked - now my shuffle plays music again. However the latest iTunes (7.0.1 and 7.0.2) has no checkbox to enable disk use for when the Shuffle is connected. The checkbox is there for a 5G iPod but not for the Shuffle.
So - now it works as an iPod but no longer works as a disk. What is going on here? How can I enable disk use?

iTunes 7.0.2 is still displaying that checkbox for both of our local Shuffles.
Perhaps you just need to scroll down to find it. If it's actually not there then I'd have to think that this is an iTunes question, not an iPod one, and might be better placed in those forums.

Can't enable disk use on Ipod

I've recently upgraded my Ipod software to 3.1 and Itunes to 6. I've followed the tutorial to make the Ipod be a hard drive and when I click on Ipod in Itunes and go down to the Ipod icon in the lower right corner and click on that, it does NOT look like the screen on the tutorial and on the screen that I see, "enable disk use" is greyed out. I'm trying to troubleshoot why my synching contacts has allowed duplicates as well as loading in emails, which I don't want. But first I need to figure out why I can't enable disk use.

I can relate...sort of! My iTunes doesn't even HAVE that option. Can you believe it??? It's a brand new (although outdated) 40gb HP iPod, and I'm running HP version of iTunes 6. The manual says how I should enable (configure) the iTunes for use as hard disk--but it failed to tell me that no freaking icon would appear in that little corner. FRUSTRATED
Sigh.

Can not "Enable disk use" on second computer

We have two computers. One was our main system (and had all my downloaded music) and a newer laptop with nothing but loaded CD's.
I am now attempting to transfer everything onto my laptop, (This is my primary computer.) but when I select "Options" the "Enable Disk Use" is checked but greyed out and can not be accessed.
Everything else works fine. The outlook syncs up and I can organize music. I just can't utilize the disk.
Any advise?

Can't Enable Disk Use

I have tried changing my iPod options to Enable Disk Use, but whenever I go back to see the options it remains unchecked and my ipod drive won't show up in windows explorer.
Do I have a faulty iPod?. Also I have noticed that if I disable Art Work it still keeps showing album covers when I play music on my ipod, and when I go back to the options again it keeps the Art Work checkbox checked.
I have even restored my iPod see if that would do the trick but it's helpless. Can someone please help me out?

Duh. Pressing the "Apply" button at the bottom right corner of the iTunes window likely would have done the trick too.

Can't Enable Disk Use in 2G Shuffle

On a Mac OS X that I had to restore previously. Music, but not playlists, were recovered. Haven't synced shuffle since and am trying now.
Getting the message that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and asks to ignore or erase and sync with this library. I would prefer to create a new playlist and transfer from the shuffle since it is a compilation that was not preserved but from what I am reading I need to enable disk use under the "Settings" tab on the ipod, but I don't have that option for some reason. I have already made sure that prevent from syncing automatically in iTunes Preferences.
Not sure what else to do....any help is appreciated!

This isn't going to solve all your problems, but if you want to "enable disk space" then you probably need to upgrade itunes to 9.03.15 (or what ever is newest when you see this). That version has that feature under settings if you scroll down a bit. Good luck!

Can't enable disk use ( 5th Gen 30g Video )

Everytime I try to enable disk use on my iPod, I hit 'Apply' and it begins updating. However, my iPod only briefly shows " Updating do not disconnect ", and my iTunes says it is still updating for a few minutes, frozen. Until, ultimately, an error pops up and says " Unknown error (-50) ". I just need to enable disk use. Is there any other way besides iTunes, which is obviously a piece of garbage?

i had that error all the time error -50....not anymore..
here's a bit here's what microsotft says: (paraphrased)
To resolve this problem, delete the UpperFilters registry value and the LowerFilters registry value. These values may cause access problems. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E980-E325 11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate and then click the LowerFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Restart the computer.
it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact wording

Can't Enable Disk Utility Debug Menu

Hi, all,
This is the first time I've tried to enable the debug menu in DU since installing Mavericks.
Unfortunately, it's not working. I've tried:
1) defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
2) Opening com.apple.DiskUtility.plist in PL editor and, because there was no entry for it already there, I added DUDebugMenuEnabled [bool] [checked]
I quit DU and restarted each time.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Actually I'm trying this again on another Mavericks laptop and it's not working.
I have the following, but the debug menu will not come up. I tried deleting the preference plist file.
defaults read com.apple.diskutility
    DUDebugMenuEnabled = 1;
    DUSavedDiskImageList =     (
    DUShowDetailsInFirstAid = 1;
    "NSWindow Frame /Users/kathryn/Library/Logs/DiskUtility.log" = "788 247 529 424 0 0 1440 878 ";
    "NSWindow Frame Disk Utility" = "255 174 853 648 0 0 1440 878 ";
    "NSWindow Frame Progress Panel" = "537 639 366 27 0 0 1440 878 ";
    "NSWindow Frame Progress Panel Frame" = "537 639 383 24 0 0 1440 878 ";

Can not enable HDD Protection

When I open the HDD Protection the window opens but it is grayed out and "OFF" is selected, why is it grayed out? How to I activate it? Please & Thankyou.

Hi
> I installed most of tools and utillites
What tools have you installed exactly?
For the Toshiba tools you have to install Common Modules first. Its necessary for all other tools. Check this!
Furthermore are you sure that Satellite Pro U200 is equipped with HDD protection?

Can't Enable Disk Mode

I have the red X, I'm tried the steps outlined on support page. I get the apple logo to appear immediately press center and play and it holds at apple screen for a few seconds then goes back to red X? Any help I live a distance away from any apple store and really don't want to pay 30 bucks to get something fixed that's quite clearly an apple problem

I have the same problem too, so still don't know the way to fix my Ipod. Nobody else know about this problem here. What shall we do now?

"Enable Disk Use" checkbox is grayed out, can't untick.

Hi,
I just got my new iPod 30 GB video today! I've been reading these discussions, but haven't found an answer for this tiny problem of mine.
"Do Not Disconnect" constantly shows on the iPod screen when it's connected on the computer. Many have suggested ticking off "Enable Disk Use", but here's the problem: it's grayed out, and I can't change it, no matter what. I've gone through iTunes prefs, by right-clicking on the iPod in iTunes and selecting "iPod Options". My system seems to show iPod as a movable disk, but iTunes recognises it and I can easily put music into it, so I guess that isn't a problem (or is it?).
But how could I get my hands on the "Enable Disk Use" checkbox? It just isn't "tickable" now.
Thanks!

If you have your iPod set to manual update, the "Enable Disk Use" box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
For Info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Can't enable iPod hard disk

I am trying to enable my 30GB iPod to be used as a hard disk to save documents. When I initially plug my iPod into my Mac, the iPod icon appears briefly on the desktop, then disappears.
Then, when I try to select "Enable Disk Use" on the iPod Summary page, I get the message "Waiting for iPod..." for about a minute, followed by "The settings were not saved for the iPod because it could not be found."
The funny thing is, when I used my iPod as a hard disk in the past it worked fine. But ever since I upgraded to iTunes version 7.0.2, it started giving me this error message and I have been unable to use my iPod as a hard disk ever since.

I haven't seen this problem since iTunes 6 and even then I was never able to find a complete answer to the "Preferences not saved" error as it was called then or any knowledge base articles with an official explanation. I did however find a workaround in a previous discussion but I don't know how if you could get it to work with iTunes 7. It involved connecting your iPod and in the short time that it was still visible on the desktop just as iTunes is opening, going to Preferences>iPod and ticking "enable disk use". You had to be quick but it could be done. In iTunes 7 it would mean quickly clicking on the iPod icon in the source list to bring up the Summary tab so you could enable disk use while the iPod was still showing on the desk top.
The only other suggestion I would have is to try restoring your iPod. restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you choose no it will default to manual mode which will default "enable disk use" and from there you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

How can I uncheck "Enable disk use" in iTunes for my iPod? The option is grayed out, and permanently checked.

When I plug in my iPod Nano (6th generation) and launch iTunes, the device appears in the sidebar as normal, but the option to check or uncheck "Enable Disk use" in the Summary pane for the iPod is grayed out. Currently, the box is checked, so "Enable disk use " is turned on -- but what I want to do is UNcheck it and turn it off.
But nothing I've tried so far has successfully ungrayed the "Enable disk use" box. Help!
Question: How can I ungrey the "Enable disk use" option in my iPod's Summary panel in iTunes, allowing me to uncheck it?
Alternately, is there any other way to turn off "Enable disk use," using some esoteric workaround? Thanks!

Set it to sync automatically. Disabling that option isn't possible for an iPod set to sync manually, as it shows up as a disk as part of the sync process, and iTunes has no way of knowing when you're done syncing an iPod set to do so manually.
