Where is "Reserve space for disk use" in iTunes? Docs are out of date

Hello,
Where did "Resereve space for disk use" go in iTunes? I can't find it any more.
This is major problem because if I want to auto-fill my phone (I don't have time to constantly set up playlists) I then get constantly get errors that my phone is full and that I can't take photos. This is really frustrating.
If I got to iTunes Help, the documentation is wrong and out of date. I have iTunes 11.1.5 and if I go to Help -> iTunes Help and look at this section, it's completely wrong. See attached screenshot.
The whole iTunes UX has become a confusing mess, I hope you're looking for a new product manager for it.
Thank you,
Geoff

I am having the same issue. It even tells you that you can reserve space on your phone in the iTunes help, but I can not figure out how to open the Autofill Settings window in iTunes. Here is what it says in help of iTunes 12.0.1.26:
Autofill settings
You can use Autofill to add songs to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad with a single click. You can set Autofill to select songs at random, or you can customize your settings.
You can select these options in the Autofill Settings window:
Other options are available at the bottom of the iTunes window when you're viewing music on your device:

How to remove a text in browser: Some plug ins used by this page are out of date

How to remove a text in browser: Some plug ins used by this page are out of date. It occur in every page when I surfing. I am aware that is a threat but when I tried to install an update of flash the userinit.dll file from windows registry had gone and I had to reset everything.

a error during the flash update might be itself an indication of malware active on the pc. the browser is your door to the web - therefore it's very important to keep it and all plugins up to date in order to keep your pc & the integrity of your personal data safe.

HT1338 I've updated my software but still get message "Some plugins used byu this page are out of date". What do I do next to cure this problem?

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Could be because recent versions of Firefox do not accept most plug-ins.
But for this there is a workaround:
Open Firefox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: firefox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close Firefox, open it again, and it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
As for Java, not many web sites use Jave and for security reasons you should turn of Java, but Javascript is another matter (and something completely different) and this should be left on.

Java 1.4.1 - Could not reserve space for object heap - need help

I know this problem has been posted before, but I thought this was fixed in release 1.3. I'm using Windows XP/Professional and do the following:
C:java -Xmx2g
Error occured during initialization of VM
Could not reserve space for object heap
C:java -version
java version "1.4.1_02"My computer system has 1 GB of RAM and a 2 GB pagefile, expandable to 3.5 GB. I can get going with -verbose:gc -Xmx1600m -Xms200m, but the GC only gets to about 1 GB before I get an out of memory exception, not even close to 1.6 GB as specified.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone can shed some light on this behavior.
Cheers, Eric

Hmm.
I tried a mini no-operation application with jdk1.3.1 on Linux. It run okay like this:

1.1 GB of space for other use, but no music, no books nor Videos are sync.

My IPad4 says it has 1.1 GB of space for "other" use, but I don´t have anything on this Ipad, I even took away the music, books and Videos. How can I know what others really stands for? Is there a way of errasing this information?

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

Putting files on iPod after enabling for disk use. How to?

I enabled my Nano for disk use, but don't know how to put files on it. An answer on how to ut files onto the iPod after it is enable to be a hard drive would be great.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I am not sure about how to put files with a PC, but with a Mac, I believe I can help. To put files on your iPod, your iPod should appear in Finder as a external disk drive. All you need to do is to drag the file into the iPod icon, as you would with an external hard drive. Syncing your Contacts (Address Book) or Calendar (iCal) is a little different. To sync Contacts and Calendar with your computer, Knowledge Base Document #301374 for Mac OS X and Knowledge Base Document #302270 for Windows. I had a hard time with syncing contacts and calendar with windows, because there are two different links.

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...

What Happened to Enable Disk Use in iTunes 9 for iPhone

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

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.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6273675&#6273675
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.

The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing.

The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing. iTunes shows 6.7 G free, but my iphone shows 6 G free. Why such a delta?

They've never sussed this out - been a problem the last year or two for me regardless of all the new iOS versions and iTunes versions. Regardless of multiple resets and full restores. Mine showed 3.7 avail on computer, less than .5 on phone. I did a reset and full restore. It helped - but still differs dramatically - now showing 5.8 avail on computer but only 2.9 on phone.
APPLE!!! I have spent 10s of thousands on your products both at my business and home - why? "Because it just works" I've been telling people. Not sure if I can keep on saying that if you don't get this figured out!!

I bought the Garmin USA app for $50.. it is useless as out of date for my area. The apple store said go to Garmin. Garmin said fgo to the app store.. I clicked not satisfied on my receipt and it sent me to Garmin!!! They said it was apple to deal with

I bought the Garmin app for $50 as the maps on my garmin in my car are not current. I thought this would avoid the need to travel with 2 devices. However, the maps are hopelessly out of date for where I live with roads and roundabouts that have been there for more than a year not on the maps. I went to the apple store to ask them what to do. they said contact Garmin. I did and they said it was only apple who could give me the refund. So I found the receipt and clicked on "do you have a problem with this app" and was redirected to Garmin. I called them( I was on hold a long time) and they said I would need to get the refund from apple.... but I can't find a way to do this. If the app had been 99 cents that would have been OK.. I've bought a few duds , but $49.99!!!
How can I get to contact apple store/ App store directly to get the refund.. this has been going on for weeks with me getting the run around from Garmin and apple. PS don't buy this app!!!!

Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale. However, Apple states all sales are final.
Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software. They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed. Apple is the cashier. You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin. Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains. Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.

Itunes-enabling your ipod for disk use

When I put my ipod on my computer and itunes loads, it recognizes my ipod, when I click on that drive in the source window, I see my options, and it says that it has enabled disk use...but when I go to my computer, I see no music files, and I am trying to get my music files onto an external hard drive. I have tried other software programs to help w/this, but the programs can not find any music files on the ipod drive.
I can not manually uncheck the option in itunes as it does not work as a functional option, I can check & uncheck other options in itunes for my ipod just not("enable disk use").
Has apple put a restriction on this? I went to their site where they gave a video tutorial on how to enable that feature in itunes, but it does not work on my version, and my version is up to date as I check.
Anyway let me know if you experienced same...as I have tried several online applications that should have worked to get my music onto an external harddrive besides my ipod.
Thanks....valleydoll

I have my songs on my ipod & my nano, they are formatted for a windows pc, but I purchased a macbook and I don't want to have to go thru 2500+ songs (on all my cds) re-importing. So I am trying to get my songs back onto my pc, so I can put them on an external hard drive, and then import them into my macbook.
I downloaded a program, but just now discovered that I needed to show my hidden files, so I now have found the music files, but now this program doesn't import m4a files, which itunes uses. so now I need to find another software that will import m4a files.
know of any.
