How to enable disk use on iTunes 11.0.3.42?

Is this option still available or has it been removed in this version?
I connected my ipod and all , went to Summary> scrolled down to Options> and the check box is no longer there

There is no disk mode for an iPod touch or other iOS device.

  • 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.

    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.

    Yes. It has not been moved as it was never present for the iPhone or iPod touch.

  • How to "Enable Disk Use"

    Does anyone know how to "Enable Disk Use" on the iTouch?

    As Jolly said, you can't.
    But free apps like Discover give you similar functionality.

  • 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.

  • Can't find 'Enable Disk Use' with iTunes 9 on my iPod Touch

    I have a 1st generation iPod Touch, and need to enable disk use, but can no longer find the option in iTunes 9! Can somebody please tell me how to do this? Thanks.
    EDIT: Just found out that the iPod touch doesn't support disk use... Although I've found a hack that makes it work, Thanks anyway.

    You just be looking at instructions for the older iPods. None of the iOS devices such as the iPod touch have ever supported disk use. There are third-party utilities that purport to provide workarounds to allow such use, but I have no experience with any of them so I can't make any recommendations.

  • How to enable disk use without losing music?

    I am trying to enable disk use on my iPod, but I already have it set to manually managing music and videos. I want to upload music to my iTunes account because it was downloaded to my iPod from a different computer than I have now, and I don't want to lose it. How do I do this? (My iPod is an iPod touch 4th Generation)

    Sorry but iPod Touches never had a disk mode.  There are app like USB Disk that allow loading files on the iPod Touch.

  • How to enable disk use on an iPod in "recovery mode"?

    I am trying to enable disk use on my iPod classic 80GB to recover lost files. One day out of the blue, 12 days worth of music vanished from my iPod, and as my laptop that stored all of my music was stolen a few months earlier, I need to manually recover the files by first enabling disk use (at least according to the various tutorials I have read online).  There should be a box you can check or uncheck in the summary of the iPod when it's plugged in, but on my iTunes, all it shows in the summary is "iPod recovery mode" and underneath a "Restore iPod button".  Is the "enable disk use" option not available because it is in recovery mode or am I just missing something?

    AFAIK this is the case...

  • Can't click on "Enable Disk Use" in itunes

    When I go to the itunes options and click on edit, then preferences, ipod, & music, the Enable Disk Use is not in bold print, but it is checked. I don't know what has happened, and I'm not able to use it.
    Can someone help me with this?

    "the Enable Disk Use is not in bold print, but it is checked. I don't know what has happened, and I'm not able to use it.
    Under normal circumstances if you have your update preferences set to "manually manage songs and playlists" the "enable disk use" box is greyed out, checked and enabled by default. Have you got your iPod set to manual update?

  • WRT600N - how to enable disk use?

    I have the WRT600N but no matter what USB disk (a 20GB removable drive and an assortment of flash keys) I plug-in , it's not being recognized by the router on the storage tab of the router admin pages. I don't have a home network but I have 2 machines and a printer connected through the router. (no software firewalls at all) 1) 3Ghz Core2duo w/XP-SP3 wired through one of the gigabit ports 2) Dell Inspiron 1720 w/Vista Home Premium 32bit-SP1 connected wirelessly on the 2.4 GHZ band (g) 3) HP 6980dt printer setup wirelessly on an internal IP (both machines can connect to it). Everything is using WPA2 Do I need to setup a network to get it to work? (i.e. install file & printer sharing or client for microsoft networks) Are there any services that absolutely need to be running? I've tweaked a few of them (disabling tcp/ip netbios helper being one of them) - uPNP is enabled. Thanks in advance.

    Honestly, I wouldn't waste my time. The Storage Link on the WRT600N does not work properly. It corrupts files, has file size limitations, and is incompatible with some backup programs. It has also been known to have issues maintaining connectivity. I gave up after a week of trying...obviously, YMMV.

  • 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.

  • Turn off enable disk use Itunes and Ipod

    I had a computer crash and bought a new system as part of restoring the library from my Ipod Nano gen2 to my new computer, I was told to put my ipod in disk mode. Now that the library has been restored how do I get my ipod AND Itunes out of disk mode, I have tried to reset the Ipod by pressing and holding the cnter button and the menu button on the Ipod but the check box for enable disk use is greyed out in Itunes

    I looked at that option but became concerned when it said that It would erase the library on my Ipod. I followed through and now all seems to be back to normal
    Thanks

  • ITunes: Enabling Disk Use on iPod 3G with iTunes 8.2

    Hi:
    I have an iPod nano 3G, and just upgraded to iTunes 8.2 from 7.7.
    The Features Manual says that I should be able to "enable disk use" from the iPod Summary tab in iTunes under the devices section. The Enable Disk Use option is checked, but grayed-out. Was this method of disk access changed ?
    How do I go about enabling my iPod for Disk Use?
    Thank you
    DaleB

    Are you managing your iPod manually, in other words is "Manually manage music and videos" enabled in the Summary tab? If it is then disk use is already enabled by default which is why it would be checked and greyed out.
