Erase free space  can't be selected or "erase" is not available

Hi
Today I found that Erase free space  can't be selected or "erase" is not available , and I don't know !
I need to get free space ,I know its not a good idea but I need to do it .
So please help me ,if there is something wrong on my mac
Teach me step by step how to show that button ON
Thanks a lot

Please note that "erase free space" does not create free space. It just makes all the bits in the existing free space the same (so that nobody can recover data from the files that used to be there).
Knowing that, do you still need to erase free space?

  • Error message: "the previously selected audio interface is not available"

    HELP?!?!?!?!?
    I'm stuck, and I can't go forward. Here's my issue:
    I've bought a Focusrite Saffire LE, a simple firewire audio interface, for use with my Logic Express 7 (with all the latest updates). I run the setup assistant and select my saffire as the audio interface to use, and then when logic runs I get the message "the previously selected audio interface is not available" and it defaults to my Macbook Pro's internal microphone and speakers.
    Just for sanity I've tested the audio interface with garageband and it's fine. My other audio apps aso run fine using the saffire as the audio interface. The setup assistant for logic has no problem finding the saffire, so why does it get rejected as soon as logic starts?!?!?
    Please - this is driving me crazy.

    I asked Focusrite for some help, and they said it should work (which I knew) and made some suggestions. Here's their email:
    "Saffire LE should work fine in Logic Express.
    Try resetting your logic preferences. Go to Logic > preferences > initialise all except key commands.
    Do you still have the same problem?
    Do you have any other firewire devices attached?
    Have you had any other interfaces installed in the past?"
    All good suggestions, but so far no luck.
    Has someone else got the same config as me? (15" Macbook Pro and focusrite saffire le)?

  • "The selected port, COM1, is not available..."

    I had a Sony Clie working just fine on my new Dell XPS 400 with Windows XP 2005 Media edition. It died on me and when I went to recharge it, I got a message I'd never gotten before:
    "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. HotSync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
    I just bought a new Palm Z22 and I'm having the same problem.
    The crazy thing is, I HAVE NO COM (SERIAL OR PARALLEL) PORTS ON THIS COMPUTER! Consequently, there is no "Ports" icon in the Device Manager.
    I'm totally stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    I am having the same problem on both my PCs (HP Laptop and Dell Laptop) using Bluetooth via USB. I can connect with the cable just fine every time. I also successfully HotSync’ed via Bluetooth the first time.
    After shutting down the PCs, the I get the "The selected port, COM X, is not available at this time. HotSync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
    I've gone in to the Microsoft Bluetooth manger and added and deleted ports several times. That hasn’t worked.
    Help!!!

  • M Audio firewire solo with yosemite - 'The previously selected audio interface is not available'.

    Hi, I recently bought a new mac mini with yosemite OS. I plugged in my M-audio firewire solo and (after a bit of trouble) finally managed to see it appear in GB. then moments later a dialogue box appears with 'The previously selected audio interface is not available'.
    There doesn't appear to be any update drivers from M-Audio and the CD that came with the interface also does not work?
    I can't find any information with this problem. Can any one help?

    Oops. . . A loose lead connection may have been the problem, although still not receiving a signal?

  • Not enough free space? I've scoured the forum to no avail....

    so my 30g 5th USED to fill up with a random selection of songs .... now when I plug it in to sync it it tells me "not enough free space ...." (my library is in excess of 250g's of music). I checked all the settings in iTunes and the best I can manage so far is to cut and paste a new playlist from the iTunes dj (gasp) to mix it up, any suggestions or am I missing something? Thanks in advance all ....

    hello, such clean-up/tuning tools often do more harm than good. by default firefox will create a daily backup of your bookmarks for the 10 last days, which you can restore from within the bookmarks library. for more information about that, please see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].

  • I updated my OS and now can't update.  It says update not available for this Apple ID

    I updated to Yosemite and now I get: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."  Any idea how to get my update to work?

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept the applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • I upgraded to PsCC 2014, but Select Focus Area is not available. Why?

    I upgraded to 2014, but none of the new features seem available from my menus. In particular, I wanted to use the Focus Area feature, but it is not available from the Select Menu. Is this a common problem?

    Sorry. It didn't occur to me that Adobe would install a complete new version on my hard drive. I found it. It works so far. Sorry for the waste of time.

  • "Select Distinct Records" Option Not Available

    Hello Experts.
    I am working on a new report in CR XI, and noticed that I had many duplicate records.  I went to the File; Report Options; and expected to click on "Select Distinct Records", but that choice was grayed-out.  What would have caused me to lose this option, and how do I fix it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Not sure if this covers it or not, but....
    The Select Distinct Records command is only available for ODBC, OLE DB, and SQL native drivers; it is not available for Stored Procedures. Note also that your server may automatically sort returned values if no sort is specified in Crystal Reports.

  • Can I install SLD in NW04s if not available

    Hi,
    We  upgraded NW04 - EP 600 to NW04s EP 700. Installation of EP 600 was done with no SLD. Now in NW04s we want to use the SLD. How can I use SLD.
    In the Visual Administrator - SLD DataSupplier is - invalid and empty. Similarly http://sapep.otegroup.com:50000/sld shows - "SLD not configured configure SLD in administration first".
    In the indentity management no LCR* matching roles available, like wise user and user groups matching SLD not available.
    Please guide me.

  • HR PNPCE - Selection Screen - Payroll Period not available

    Hi all,
    I am using PNPCE and have created a custom Report Category.  I have unchecked the "Data selection = EE selection" so that I now have 2 seperate period drop down boxes.  I have selected all period options for both selection periods.
    Problem is that under the "Data Selection Period" none of the Payroll Period options are available for using even though I selected them in the Report Category. ???  Anyone have this problem before? 
    If I go back and check the "Data selection = EE selection" then they appear and are available for selecting.
    Thanks, Mark

    Hi ,
    You can get selection-options  by pressing F1 then technical attributes .
    Then in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event you write the following code ---
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT  /  INITIALIZATION.
    select_option_name-sign = 'I'.
    select_option_name-sign  = 'EQ'.
    select_option_name-sign  = sy-datum.
    append select_option_name .

  • Switched from Samsung Note 2 to iphone 6. Faced Difficulties while sending message. [1]Multiple Selection of receipients is not available. Eg. If I click plus, it shows me all the contacts but i cannot select multiple contacts using checkbox

    Phone : IPhone 6
    OS : 8.1
    Problem Statement : Multiple Selection of Recipients while drafting New Message in SMS.
    Expected Solution : Checkbox should have been provided to select multiple contacts using one screen

    Thanks for the reply.. I also tried that way.. I face couple of issues
    1) I could not find an option of saving a Draft Message
    2) After multiple recipients(I have selected 12 recipients) in "TO" section, if I type a word in "TO" such as "Pre", it shows me all the contacts containing "Pre"  but I cannot select the last contact incase there are more than 20 contacts coz I am unable to scroll down till the end.. If I do so.. I cannot select coz screen scrolls up automatically..
    Pls try ... If required I will insert video

  • Can't delete/remove items listed as not available in shopping cart

    i have 2 songs in my itunes shopping cart which are listed as "not available" (under an album title, i assume, because both songs are contained under an arrow). i tried clicking on the "x" button to remove, as well as trying to highlight and delete. neither worked. the songs are stuck in my shopping cart. now, instead of purchasing songs in a group as i normally do, i have to download each of the songs that are available separately.
    how do i remove this item (which contains two songs), from my shopping cart?
    has anyone else had this problem?
    thanks,
    twon

    Figured this out on my own.
