How many times can you change the region of the computer

i need to know. is there a limit?

That's not what the above KB article says but I've never tried it.
This is what is states:
In Mac OS X, this dialog box appears the first time a DVD disc is inserted:
"Since this is the first use of a DVD disc, the drive region code must be initialized before playing.
"New Drive Setting: Region Code 1
"You can only change the drive region code 5 more times."
As I read that, once you set the region code, there are five additional changes permitted. As I said I haven't tried it and I'm not about to.

  • How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

    How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

    Hey Robin.T,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
    Thanks,

  • How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode I set on my iPod. Since I don't want to perform a complete systems reset just yet, I want to try to attempt remembering my passcode... how many times can I try the restrictions passcode without permanently locking it?

    This is for the restrictions passcode correct? Not the regular passcode....
    And I heard somewhere that if you guess too many times, you will be permanently locked out of your device...

  • Movie rental Q: How many times can you watch the film within 48 hours?

    It's just I have 8 hours left on Into The Wild and I fancied watching it a second time, only it is not playing when I click on the thumbnail. It just says "accessing the iTunes store" for a few seconds. I've tried clicking play. Other films appear to work ok, just not this one. I assume that if it doesn't let me watch it a second time iTunes will give me free movie rental credit.

    According to the FAQ "Once you've started to watch the movie, you have 24 hours to finish watching the movie (even if you start watching before the download is complete). You can watch the movie as many times as you want within this 24-hour period": iTunes Store movie rental usage
    If you are having problems you should contact iTunes Store Customer Services.

  • How many times can you reset the Region?

    A few minutes ago, I put a DVD into my MacBook for the first time.
    It was a Region 1 disc, and immediately Apple's DVD player opened and began playing the disc. I was rather surprised, because the first time I inserted a DVD into my Mac Mini, Apple's DVD player opened, but informed me that the region must first be set before I could play a disc.
    (I know that the system preferences can be set so the machine "does nothing" when a DVD is inserted. It isn't the fact that the DVD player opened that surprised me--it's the fact that I wasn't given a region-setting warning before the DVD began playing for the first time.)
    I then stopped the DVD player, ejected the disc and inserted a Region 2 disc. Again, Apple's DVD player opened, and when I hit the play button, I received the notice that the drive's region was set for 1 and would have to be changed to play the Region 2 disc.
    However, what was strange is that the message indicated that I only had 4 region changes remaining.
    I always thought we were allowed 5 region changes.
    Am I wrong, or is it possible that the region setting on my MacBook had already been set (and perhaps even reset) before I purchased it?

    I encountered the same thing when I played a DVD in my MacBook for the first time, I had assumed it would ask me as my other Macs had done. However, it appears that since Panther, an administrative user does not get asked this question. The following is from the Info Article on DVD Regions
    "In Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and later, users with administrative privileges aren't prompted to change the region the very first time a DVD-Video disc of a single region is inserted. Instead, the region of the DVD drive is automatically set to the region of the DVD disc that was inserted."
    The article also indicates that 5 changes is the standard, so if you were logged in under an admin account it automatically set the first one for you.

  • How many times can you connect ipad to a different computer?

    I have an Ipad 1 and when connecting it to my new laptop (not Mac) it told me the device could only be connected one more time to a different computer. Are there limits on Ipads as to how many computers or times we can connect them to? Is there any way to reset this or not?

    When it comes to apps, this is right, unless you use the Windows version of iFunBox (the Mac version, not even the latest version, doesn't work for direct IPA transfer). However, you can transfer / sync music / videos from several computers using third-party tools (without jailbreaking!!) with tools like SyncPod / FreeSync.
    You may want to read the section "A side remark: put music / videos / other media on your iDevice without iTunes" at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/ios-contact-management-duplicate-removal-impor texport-etc-tips-and-tricks for more info.

  • HT1414 How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I forgot the restriction code, I already tryed 9 times and the TIME you have to wait after the fifth try is increased like crazzy.

    That is a security measure. If the device is being tampered with, the longer the "tamperer" has to wait, the more likely they are to become discouraged and give up.
    I think that you get 10 attempts, but I can't swear to that having never been in that position. In any event, you will probably have to restore to factory settings if you want to be able to use the iPad again. You cannot restore from a backup - unless that backup does not have the restrictions passcode in it. If it does not have the passcode in it, then restoring from that backup will eliminate the passcode.
    If you have to restore, you have to use iTunes on a computer, since you cannot get into the settings.

  • How many times did you change the logic board?

    Hello everybody,
    I"m the formerly proud owner of an iBook G3. Solowly I"m getting tired of the logic board problem. I have AppleCare, but by now I"m sending my iBook twice a year for repair!
    By now I had my iBook sent to Care 5 times due to the logic board problem.
    Now I"d like to know if this is average, low or high ranking on the G3 exchange scale,
    Who can beat 5?
    Michael

    Michael,
    Mine has been back three times.
    If your iBook's logic board goes out again, I recommend that you call Apple and, instead of talking to Customer Support, immediately ask for Customer Relations. Be prepared with dates and details of your iBook's repair history, tell them you need a computer that is dependable, and your iBook just isn't. Then ask for a replacement. It has been known to happen.
    Good luck.

  • How many times can you pay the 99 dollar replacement on an ipod 4g?

    I had an ipod touch and broke it so we paid the 99 dollars to have it replaced and have a new one and then I broke that one (Im not the most graceful person) after two months I broke that one would i still be able to pay 99 dollars to get another new one?

    I think so. Apple has not stated a limit.

  • How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

    How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

    Hi colman Prez;
    Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
    I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
    I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.
