How do I disable disk use on my new iPod Shuffle, (generation 5)? There is a check-box, but I cannot uncheck "Enable disk use".
iPod shuffle, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Hi pedro d,
Thanks for your quick reply. I really do appreciate it.
I followed the reset instructions, and it did not help. However, I did figure out the problem. I unchecked the "Manually manage music" box, and that allowed me to uncheck the "Enable disk use" box. All good now.
Very Respectfully,
