Reactivate Console's "Automatically Send Anonymous Diagnostic and Usage Data to Apple"

I accidentally unchecked "Automatically Send Anonymous Diagnostic and Usage Data to Apple" on Console Preferences and immediately after that, this option grayed out, don't understand why. For me it's ok to send that information, I understand it helps to improve Apple's software performance and future software updates.
Could you please help me to reactivate this automatically?

As I am writing this I don't see a way to reenable that checkbox (I'll keep searching). FWIW the Console help says the following about that checkbox:
If you deselect “Automatically send diagnostic and usage data to Apple”, you will no longer see the option. When you encounter one of the events described earlier, you’ll see the message asking if you want to send diagnostic information to Apple.
So unless I can find a way to reset it (haven't looked at plists yet or did any real research) it appears to be a one way switch. Once thrown, it's off, period.
Just found this which only repeats what Console Help says:
Mac OS X v10.6.3: Diagnostic and usage data collection

Sending Anonymous Diagnostic and Usage Data to Apple Grayed Out

I mistakingly hit Agree, in iTunes, to send diagnostic information to Apple about my computer. I did not intend to to that. I did some research in Apple's knowledge base and found a help article telling me I could disable it by opening Console and disabling the checkmark at the bottom of the dialog window under preferences.
I even tried right clicking on my iPhone in iTunes and selecting "Reset Warnings." However I still do not receive the window that prompts me to Agree or Disagree about sending diagnostic data. I do not want to, but cannot figure out how to change this.
Can anyone help here?

When something crashes you will always get a message to that effect. If you enable automatic sending of data to Apple then you won't be asked to agree or disagree about sending: it you disable it you will be. I should just send the data automatically - it's sent anonymously, and it's nothing to worry about. All this only happens when there is a crash: hopefully you're not seeing this a lot? - it should be very rare.

Diagnostic and usage data collection

This job is still running in 10.7.
Even if I switched off "System - Security - Privacy -> Send diagnostic and usage data "
The process tries to contact Apple.
Any way to switch it off forever?

did you try below blog, i think its really good to try:
How to reduce the size of logging database OR How to purge the old data from Logging Database

Problem removing Diagnostic and Usage Data Log

I have had several iPod crashes and ironically that's not my problem. The problem is the Diagnostic and Usage Data log is getting larger and larger. I have my iPod Touch 4th Gen. set to not send reports to Apple and I do no see any way to delete or editing it. Is there a way to delete the log or remove some of its lines of reports or dose it have to be sent to Apple to remove it?

I may be a little rusty on the rules here but I didn't think hijacking a thread was not aloud. If it was me I would have started my own thread instead of taking the original question in a different direction. Just sayin.
We I was looking for my answer I found yours.

How do I delete diagnostic and usage data on my iPad 3 please

Hi, I am very new to iPad/Apple (sorry), have been operating with Windows for so long now, and have recently bought a new iPad 3 Wi Fi Cellular.
I was wondering around my iPad yesterday and noticed under > Settings > General > About > Diagnostics and Usage Data > Data - pages of apps
I had downloaded and tried out etc, and than deleted those apps - no longer using them, but all this information is still on my Data page.
Could you please tell me please how to delete all this data, I have tried unsuccessfully. I have deleted a great many apps, but the data is still there - I would like to know how to clear or delete the diagnostic and usage data please?
The other question I have is that all this data must be taking up kb/mb/space on my iPad.
Thank you so much for your help and advice ~ greatly appreciated.

Everytime I look Diagnostic & usage data I see full of crash reports such as Log-aggregate, LowMemory, assistivetouchd and etc... This crashes/crash report should be the reason why my ipod touch 4th gen is slow, sometimes hangs for a second and sometimes crash apps. I already tried to reduce the memory usage to 50% and momentarily double click home button to remove the applications running at the back but still crash reports are adding and reach about 100 and still increasing! Please help me to solve this problem. Maybe give me a tip on how to avoid, minimize or remove this crashes / crash reports on my ipod touch. thank you.

The activation server is gone for AA7, but not AA8 as understand it. You will need to do the updates for AA8 to be effective on Win7. It is questionable that it will run on WIn8 (I have no clue for a MAC).
Your conversation is an example of how many of us got here in the first place. It is fantastic that you were able to hold on and get the problem resolved. Not exactly sure of the solution, but there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel for folks. Normally, with activation problems like yours, we recommend calling Adobe Support for them to reset the activations. I was just wanting to get a heads up about AA8 on the newer systems. Folks have been successrul on Win7 with the updates, but the results for Win8 are still not known in general. There have been some suggestions, but nothing more. As long as it works for you that is great. For our info, what OS are you running?

Can you pinpoint what 'diagnostic and usage data' you are referring to? More details would be helpful including the model MBP you are using and the OSX.
Ciao.

Why is "Console" "Diagnostic and usage messages" now dominated by Safari messages?

Why is "Console" "Diagnostic and user messages" now dominated by Safari messages?
I have randomly used Console over the years for trouble shooting, and now find it to be virtually worthless.
Both "All Messages" and "Diagnostic and Usage Messages" are now dominated by messages from Safari.
I do have the "Develop" menu displayed so that I can periodically "Empty Caches" since that option is no longer available otherwise.

Occasionally, they references something like shockwave, but most are this kind of "statistical" message.

What to do about diagnostic and usage reports. I have crash reports and low memory?

I just recently got my iPhone 4S and I'm still learning and going through everything and ran into the diagnostic and usage reports low memory and crash reports what do I do from here?

You do not have to do anything.
They will automatic send to Apple for diagnostic.
It's not meant for consumers to read.

Reactivate Console's "Automatically Send Anonymous Diagnostic and Usage Data to Apple"
