IPod Showing Up As Removable Disk Even When Disk Use is Disabled

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my iPod and Vista. My iPod is showing up as a removable disk even though I do not have "Enable Disk Use" checked. This is confirmed by the fact that I can disconnect my iPod without having to eject it first.
I've tried checking and unchecking the text box. It works the first time, but when I reconnect the iPod, the disk shows up again.
How can I permanently disable disk use?
Appreciate any help you can give.

Have you tried performing a RESTORE on the iPod when connected to iTunes?

  • IPod 4G always mounts for disk use when Mac wakes from sleep

    My 4G iPod is always mounting for disk use when my Mac (10.4.8, Dual 1.8 GHz G5) wakes from sleep, even though the settings for the iPod has "enable disk use" unselected. When I launch iTunes (latest version) the iPod promptly is unmounted. I have restored factory settings, I have reinstalled the computer's OS and iTunes with it.
    What is going on and how can I make it normal?
    Dual 1.8 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes 7.1, iPod 4G 20GB

    UPDATE:
    I have started to turn off Bluetooth at night before I put my computer to sleep. I HAVE NOT HAD THE FIREWIRE RANDOM DISMOUNT PROBLEM SINCE. I do not know if this is a freak coincidence -- but so far, so much the better for my firewire drive.
    Hope this helps someone else down the line... eh hem...

  • I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre

    I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre but they refused to repair it after confirming the problem with the device as it was out of warranty and asked me to get it replaced for INR 22500. I got it repaired outside but after that also if I switch it off in the same situation it again happens and I have to take it for repair it has happened 3 times after that. Is it a inherent problem in iPhone that it uses battery even when switched off and if in that case battery drain out then refuse to get charged because this is the scenario i have experienced every time?

    Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
    There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one.

    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    my traffic conditions dont show up on the notification even when it is turned on - ios 8
    I have tried hard resetting. I had a similar problem with the weather but got that resolved now. Any ideas on how to fix?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem on my iPhone 5s. Traffic conditions are not even a option under edit, but weirdly my wifi iPad Mini Retina shows traffic conditions. I feel like I'm missing some option, but I can't figure out what it could be.

  • Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

    Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

    Try restarting the iPhone.
    If that doesn't do it, one thing that others have done to fix this is manually set the date and time a few months out  (Settings > General > Date & Time), test it again, and then set it back to the correct time.
    You can also take a look at this Apple doc for other ideas -> Can't connect to the iTunes Store

  • IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   Laptop

    iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
    I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

  • My voice command keeps turning on by itself even when my siri is disabled.

    my voice command feature keeps popping up in the middle of anything im doing, even when my siri is disabled. My ipod also plays music randomly and the time on my screen blinks a few times. Has anyone else had any of these problems? 

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. The headphone jack can actuate VC.
    - Try another pair of headphones, Ones with mic/remote wold be best

  • Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

    Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
    Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

    Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
    Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  • With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message  even when im using the phone, has  this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

  • IPod flashing orange though disk use is disabled

    Hello, my iPod Shuffle (4th gen) is flashing orange (and the windows safely remove hardware thing appears) until I sync it with iTunes or safely remove it (the led changes to solid green and the hardware removal thing disappears), though disk use is disabled. I already resetted the iPod but that didn't fix the problem. I'm using Win 7 64-bit.
    (And I think it's only supposed to flash if it's syncing or enabled as volume.)

    Hello gonida,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Do I have to execute irca.bat even when I use (only) Olite built-in DB?

    As well known I can use an external (full) Oracle database or an internal Olite database.
    Do I have to execute the irca.bat script even when I use the internal built-in Olite DB ?
    Where is this irca.bat ? I did not found it in the installation folder.
    Is the "default" domain automatically created without the irca.bar script or part of it?
    Peter

    No the basic version handles this all for you. But if you upgrade from 10.1.3.1 to any other release you need to run the SQL scripts for olite.
    cheers
