Sync and "Enable Disc Use"

Just noticed that the iPod Touch doesn't give you the "Enable Disc Use" option in iTunes.
Any idea why ?

Apple haven't activated/allowed this yet. We may see this when the SDK (Software Development Kit) which will allow people to create 3rd party applications, is released.
Until then, it's anyone's guess when or if we'll ever if able to do this.

  • Don't have access to "Enable disc use" selection

    Trying to transfer camera video to computer (windows XP) if I uncheck the manual transfer box, I will lose all the data that is already on the IPOD and have to settle for a download of everything in my library. How do I get access to the "enable disc use" option?

    Awesome. Glad to hear that the issue has been resolved. Currently, the only way to copy the Video files from your iPod to your computer is the manual way. Perhaps you could suggest the automatic feature to Apple through the link below.

    Not sure as to why photos are all being removed upon syncing, but I do know that you can set your iPod up to sync any folder you wish that contains photos as described in this Apple support document.

  • 80gB Classic requires restore whenever I attempt to enable disc use

    I have a new 80 GB classic. Syncing music and video is fine but when I enable disc use (even just ticking the box and not transferring anything) there is no longer any music or videos on the ipod even after safely manually ejecting ipod. The ipod is then not recognized when it is reconnected and requires to be restored. I restored twice and update to latest firmware with same results.
    I don't know if it is related but safari and mail have been crashing all the time after upgrading to 10.4.11. I have not found a solution to this yet either.
    Thank you for any assistance

  • Can't enable disc use

    Hi, I have my husbands 1st gen shuffle and want to use it as a memory stick with my new MBP. The options to change it to disc use are not available in the "settings" tab when it is plugged in...am I missing something? And how do I enable it for disc use? is there a workaround?
    Thanks!!!

    Plug the shuffle into into the computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select the shuffle in (what I still call) the Source list. The display in iTunes main window will be tabbed.
    Select the Settings tab in the main window.
    'Enable disk use' and the slider are at the bottom of the window. You may have to scroll to find it.
    Good luck

  • Where is the Enable Disc Use button

    I need to click on enable disk use and I was told it is under
    the summary when your ipod touch is hooked up to itunes. Mine is not
    there. Can someone tell me where I can find this. Thanks!

    Thanks for responding so quickly. How do I keep my ipod active in itunes after it's done synching? It automatically ejects when done, is there a way to keep it from ejecting?

  • My hard drive crashed, do I have to sync and erase to use iTunes?

    Hi guys,
    So my hard drive died during a recent move.  I was able to recover all of my music files onto an external drive, but my computer is now running on a new hard drive, onto which I've installed iTunes, and imported all my old music.
    All well and good, except when I plug in my iphone and attempt to manually manage my files, I get the dreaded, "You must Sync and Erase" message.
    Is there any way I can sync my phone to this library without losing everything?
    I actually don't mind erasing the music.  I'll add it back in manually.  But the idea of reinstalling all my apps and setting them all up again, losing my pictures, videos, contacts, etc. is somewhat daunting.
    Anybody have any possible solutions?

    Note that the OP apparently DID have a backup, and restored all of the music to iTunes. We are so used to people not having backups that we assume that no one does.
    If the music is on your computer then when you sync it will erase the content, but then put it back from the restored music library. It would probably be easier to disable Manually Manage.. and instead sync the music library. Less work.

  • When using wusa.exe to install MSU update package and enabling logging using the /log switch, what format are the log files in?

    I have been installing a number of hotfixes for Windows 7 using MSU files and the wusa.exe utility included in Windows. I thought it would be a good idea to generate separate log files for each update as it was installed since wusa.exe now supports this
    option using /log:<file name>. However, the log files created do not seem to be regular text files or any other log file format that I immediately recognize. When opened in Notepad or Wordpad you can see that they contain a lot of additional binary data
    which can't be read by a regular text viewer.
    Does anyone know what format these log files are in? What tool should you use to read them?

    Only Microsoft can manage to design something as stupid as this. If you start wusa from the command line, it pops up the alternative command line switches. For log, it just says: " /log     - installer will enable logging". It doesn't say that you
    should specify the log file name, hence not HOW you specify it (" /log:<path\filename>.") It doesn't say what extension to use for the file, alas which file type it is (" /log:<path\filename.evtx>."). You open it in notepad, you cannot read it.
    You open it in sccm's cmtrace.exe/trace32.exe, you get nothing. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT THIS IN A WORSE WAY. How can something be so bad? How can Microsoft get such stupidity inhouse, when you need to go through six interviews or something to get in??
    I cannot believe it - unfortunely, this is seen again and again. 

  • ITunes 9.0.2 crashes when syncing and enable Spoken Menus is checked.

    I have had no problems syncing my 5th generation iPod until I checked Enable Spoken Menus. There is no problem with Enable Voiceover. I have tried this 4 times and each time iTubes 9.0.2 crashes. If I uncheck Enable Spoken Menus the problem goes away. Firmware is 1.0.2, worked ok in 1.0.1

    Actually, iTunes 9.0.2.25 was the first version that supported Windows 7. The Windows 7 64-bit issues with iTunes are complicated by things by the nVidia chipset issues (which tends to crop up on 64 bit systems because they are more likely to have 4 GB of RAM installed), and the issues with PM55 and P55 intel chipsets (which is a BIOS issue). There's also trouble with AMDS installs on some 64-bit systems, but that's hitting Vista systems as well as 7 systems.
    I'd try giving 9.0.3.15 a crack. From the release notes:
    iTunes 9.0.3 provides a number of important bug fixes, including:
    • iTunes no longer ignores your "Remember password for purchases" setting.
    • Addresses problems with syncing some Smart Playlists and Podcasts with iPod.
    • Resolves a problem recognizing when iPod is connected.
    • Addresses issues that affect stability and performance.
    ... So fingers crossed, that might include your particular issue.
    In particular, if you're still at 9.0.0, you'll likely have the 1.0.1 version of Apple Application Support. That was linked to some syncing issues. With a 9.0.3.15 (or a later version of the 9.0.2.25 installers) you'll have a Apple Application Support 1.1.0 in place which might also help matters.

  • HT1478 Will "endabling disc use" and then syncing my iPod make me lose the songs on the device but not in iTunes?

    Hello.
    I am having difficulties with my iPod and my new computer (Windows 8). My laptop won't read the iPod (it disappears from the "File Explorer" after just a few seconds). I was told to save all my files to SharePod first. However, when I do this, it tells me I need to go to iTunes and "Enable Disc Use" on my iPod. When I went to do this, it began syncing my iPod, but I got worried that it would erase any songs I did not have on iTunes or did not purchase from iTunes (many songs were purchased from Amazon).
    Will syncing my iPod on my new laptop in an empty iTunes make me lose all my songs on my iPod?
    Thanks!

  • Unable to disable 20gb iPod 'enable disk use' Disc  in iTunes7

    Hello,
    i got this problem, when i connected my old 20gb iPod on to my computer which now has iTunes 7 installed i wont be able to turn off "Enable disc use" check button. Why?
    Resetting the iPod wont help, restoring the software to iPod wont solve the problem either.
    Can anyone help with this one? Or is this setting solid and could not be changed.
    Cheers,
    T.

    Do you have the iPod set to manual transfer? That's the reason that the enable disk use option is greyed out and not selectable.
    With manual, the default setting is enabled and cannot be changed.

I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows  which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.
