Changed DVD drive from Region 1 - 3 now doesn't work

I rented a movie that ha a region 3 code set in it.
I changed my DVD drive to region 3 to watch it.
It worked fine.
But now It is not mounting at all.
And when I open DVD Player, DVD player says " A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]
So what should I do now?

Spontanously works again. I think it's because i zapped the P-RAM...
if it worked... or i just restarted.

  • Error -70001 when changing DVD drive region for last time

    Hi there,
    I am trying to change my DVD drive from region 2 to region 1. This should be the last time I am able to change regions, but I am still getting an Error -70001 which prevents me from making the switch.
    Can anyone help me get around this?
    Another forum said I need to find a disk that can only be read in the region I want to change to (in this case region 1), but so far I have had no luck with this method.
    Thank you all so much for any help on the issue.

    Are you sure the DVD is region 1 ONLY? You can't always trust the label. I have a three DVD boxed set that says region 1. One of the DVDs is multiple region.

  • Changing iMac DVD drive's 'Region'

    Hi peeps!
    I live in the UK, and I've had this iMac G4 for about 3 years now. It's running OSX 10.4.6.
    When I try to play a normal 'Region 2' DVD, DVD Player throws up the lovely old "you need to change your drive's region setting" dialogue box. Which is fine - the drive should be Region 2 anyway, so I'd be more than happy to change it back from Region 1. The message says I have FOUR changes left. I click "Change" or whatever it is...
    ... And the iMac throws up 'Error 70001' (can't change the region). Errrr... WHY!? I have 4 changes left. ARGH!!
    So, now I'm stuck with a region 1 DVD drive, which I can't change for some unknown reason, in a Region 2 country. Great. I've been told to try VLC or MacTheRipper, but it's hardly ideal.
    Are there any solutions to my problem? How can I change my drive's region setting? I'll try anything.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Short of taking it in to Apple and making sure the region coding is reset to the limited number of changes you get out of the factory, or finding a non-supported firmware update that makes it region-code insensitive, no. Doing the latter may though not be legally sound, as region-coding is part of the DRM encoding all DVDs have. In the future only play DVDs from your local region. If you need a different region because you move around a lot, find out what is the most legally viable way to handle that situation.

  • Changing dvd drive permissions

    can someone please tell me how to change my dvd drive from read only to read and write.
    i have had this working once but somehow its got changed. when i have a dvd in the drive and click info it shows as read only.
    very frustrating.
    its a new imac running leopard.
    Message was edited by: floppity

    You can't change the write permissions of the drive. The write capability is determined by two things:
    1. The hardware itself -- IOW, a drive with no burn capabilities for DVD's can't burn to that media because it physically lacks a laser that will do that.
    2. The type of media & its state. For instance, commercial DVD's are pressed, not burned, & their media layer can't be changed by shining a laser on it, period. DVD-R's can be written to once & only once. DVD-RW's can be erased & reused, but it is an all or nothing process.
    What type of DVD have you put into the drive?

    Hi, no idea if this works in 10.4.x, but...

    Might have a couple of other ideas if it doesn't.
    Hmmmm, looks like 10.5.2 might be required for that, let me know...

  • I have a macbook pro md318 late 2011 i want to know can i change hard drive from 500GB to 2TB????

    i have a macbook pro md318 late 2011 i want to know can i change hard drive from 500GB to 2TB????

    Tbh,  I really wouldn't bother.
    I may get shot down here, but I like having storage centralised, backed up etc, so I would use the internal storage for the day to day stuff, and anything more dated, and large, then dump it on an external, with backup.
    I've heard some horror stories about larger capacity drives getting over hot, and failing in some machines. Not macs particularly though.

  • Swapping DVD drive from 667MHz Titanium PB to my 12" PB

    The DVD drive on my 12" 1GHz Powerbook has died. When I put in a CD or DVD, I get what a lot of other people have been describing. The disk goes in, I hear one set of clicks, and the disk gets ejected. I have a dead 667 MHz Titanium Powerbook. Does anybody know if the DVD drive from that PB will work in my 12" PB? The Titanium DVD drive is read only (will read and write CDs but only read DVDs), but I'm really only interested in burning and reading CDs and watching DVDs.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Alex-
    I've looked into the Pioneer K05 and K06, but I've read that they don't seem to be "native" and have problems. Is it your experience that I should just be able to replace my Matshita UJ-816 with the K05 or K06 and just use it? Or is there something else I need to do as well?
    Thanks.

    Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

  • Can I use my DVD Drive from my pc to load Tiger on my Mac

    Can I use my DVD Drive From my pc (compaq R4000)to load Tiger onto my Mac G3 Blue & White?

    The short answer is no
    long answer is maybe but if you manage to get a DVD drive from a Compaq into a G3 then install Tiger it will be so slow (Tiger on a G3 iMac) it'll bring tears to your eyes.
    What are talking about this sloww nonsense! I've been using Tiger since it came out on my Summer 01' 'Snow' iMac 500Mhz and it works quite nicely! Sure garageband is sssllooww but who needs it. Everything elese is good! Just bump up the ram and your good to go as long as the processor is 450Mhz or higher! Although after looking at your post, you were using OS 8.6 so I assume its a 233Mhz. So ya that would be slow...BUT I've found 10.2 Jaguar to work well with my Bondi 233Mhz with 192MB of Ram...

  • In my dock there was this weird program called "tutorial". While throwing away this program I had to fill in my password. Afterwards I tried to change my password, but my old password doesn't work anymore. Who can help?

    In my dock there was this weird program called "tutorial". While throwing away this program I had to fill in my password. Afterwards I tried to change my password, but my old password doesn't work anymore. Who can help?

    What was this program for, or did you just assume it's something you shouldn't have and therefore arbitrarily decide to "throw it away"? Exactly how did you supposedly throw it away?
    If you didn't change your administrator password, there's no reason it shouldn't work now, so that suggests you did something else, or changed it and then forgot what it was.
    You can't recover that password; you can only change it. To do that, you would need to boot from your Snow Leopard DVD, choose your language, then choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu in the top menu bar.

  • I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

    I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

    Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
    You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
    Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
    Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

    But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?
