Drive region wont change even though i think it can

so my drive region wont change when i put a DVD in. i know that there is still 3 changes left, because when i try to play a DVD in DVD Player, i click "file", "get disc info", "regions" tab. (it shows a region map) down where it says "drive region changes left" there is a 3 after it. so does anyone know how to fix this? thx

Hello MrBigshot,
It sounds like you are wanting to change the icon of the Applications folder you have in the Dock. By default the folder is shown as a Stack and so it shows you the first application icon alphabetically in as the icon in the Dock. You can make it have the Application folder icon by changing it to display as a Folder instead:
Display as - Displays the icon in the Dock as the folder's actual icon or as a stack of icons of the folder contents.

  • The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

    the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button.  Any ideas?

    If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT201272 Some songs off an album I down loaded wont play even though I have down loaded the album again. Anyone know what I can do to retrieve the missing songs?

    Some of the songs of an album I have down loaded wont play even though they appear on the play list, I have re-downloaded the album and yet still they wont play? Can anybody help?

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    hi - i have an ipod and when i connect to my pc and try to update the software, its says that cannot update as im not connected to the internet even though i am. what can i do?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • My CD drive wont change to region 2 again even though i have 1 change left, any ideas?

    My mac wont change the region code from 1 to 2 and every time i try to set the region even after i have unlocked it and click change the window with the map just closes and nothing happens and when i try again the region is still stuck on 1, but it says i still have one change left

    I see that no one knows the answer to this question, or prepaid customers don't get Verizon customer service help unless they dial an 800 number. I will post the outcome when I switch my current phone out and activate the new one. I don't hate Verizon or I wouldn't activate a new phone to their service, so even if I don't get the outcome that I want, I will just post what the process was like.
    I think it will be easy, but they probably will require another payment even though my next payment isn't due until the 12th. I'm not a pessimist, nor do I go around complaining on discussion boards. I just feel that if they weren't going to charge me, a customer service agent would have gladly replied. I still think prepaid is the way to go, and I've never had problems with Verizon, so if I do get charged, I will use my experience to help other customers.

  • I want to create a new folder on my external hard drive for photos.  Even though I added the new folder button to the tool bar it is not highlighted so I cannot click on it to create a new folder on this drive.

    I have an external hard drive that I would like to pre-make a new folder before I import photos into it.  Even though I added the new folder app to by toolbar, it is not highlighted and I cannot use it.  It will only let me create new folders if I upload to iPhoto.  That is not where I want to store everything.  So I need to figure out how to turn on or activate New Folder on my toolbar for all possible downloading options.

    If it's a drive that you've previously used with a PC, just double-check the format - click the drive once on the desktop to highlight it, and click cmd-i (the command key and the i key together) to see the Info window. That will tell you, under Format, how it's formatted.
    If it's "NTFS", that's the current Windows format. You can read but not write to it with a Mac. If you want full read/write access, you should look into Paragon NTFS, which allows you to do both. Note that some features of te Mac (Time Machine, for example) will only work with Mac-formatted drives.

  • HT1212 what do i do if my ipod touch 5th gen is stuck on the passcode screen and wont open even though my passcode is right. to this problem is very frustrating

    I dont how this happened because i've never jailbroke it and all i did on it this morning was play 8ball pool by miniclip then i played clash of clans. so i want to know why this happened what happened and how it happened. as soon as possible thanks

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                      
    If necessary try the remaining items of:
    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iTunes wont launch even though a correct administrator password is given Why?

    It seems that every time iTunes gets updated I get problems with the launch of it.
    For instance, if I click on the task-bar icon, a request for an administrator password to allow Apple to do its thing on my hard drive comes up and I type it in and it disappears, but does not launch. Furthermore, if I try to uninstall iTunes, I am not allowed to because I dont have administrator rights despite being the owner of my F..ing p.c. I have tried to get round this by creating a further user account (me) with no admin rights. Same thing try as I might I can't use itunes even though a further dowload tells me that iTunes has been "repaired" and updated blah blah ...
    Please help this non-nerd DS

  • My password only works to log into the computer, but not to make admin changes, even though I am the admin account on the computer.  This happened after I tried to change the computer's name. Is there any way to fix this?

    Bought my laptop off my room mate and he had master reset it to default.  This still left his name as the computer name and I wanted to change that.  Tried to rename it under the advanced changes section, and now it isn't recognizing my password for anything more than logging in.  I can't unlock the settings to make further changes (or change it back).  I have had my room mate try all of his old passwords and usernames, to no avail.  Is there a way to reset this?  It's also not letting me wipe the drive and start fresh again because, alas, I don't have access without the password.  Any advice would be very helpful.  Thank you!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Cant retrieve e-mail, password wont authorise even though I can send mail.

    I have set up all settings, gone through all I can think of and I still cant get my mail either through Outlook express in classic or Mail. I get the message"the pop server "pop.tiscali.co.uk" rejected the password for user. I dont understand why I'm not the user and why I can send but not get mail...cos I'm still the user whether I send or receive. I have a pc which I am using to get my mail at the moment, which is on the same address and settings, but it just wont work with the Mac...any suggestions other than temper tantrums!! help me Please...

    You may have some password confusion going on here.
    You will have a password and username for your broadband connection. You would have entered this in the netgear router at some time to connect onto tiscali.
    The netgear router is the bit that contacts tiscali and makes the broadband connection with tiscali, not the mac.
    Your mac makes a connection with the netgear router with whatever password you might have given the router the router then allows the mac to route through to tiscali. This is where the 'purple ball with a yellow lightening pattern in the middle' come in - Internet Connect - it is one of the ways for establishing a connection with the outside world - in this case the netgear router. As long as you are able to access web pages with safari or whatever then you are logged onto your router and that is logged onto tiscali and its email server. (As long as the internet is working you could quit Internet Connect and ignore it)
    You may have a separate password and username for your email account at tiscali - this you should have entered in the mail preferences for you account details. Although tiscali allow you to have the same password and username for both the broadband connection and the email account.
    Anyway you originally said that you can send emails but not receive them.
    1. You are connected to tiscali broadband otherwise you would not be able to send emails.
    2. The problem lies with the settings on the mail setup. If you are able to receive emails on you pc then have a look at the settings on Outlook Express?? and see if they are the same as the settings on mac mail.
    3 Consider whether you are entering the correct password/username. You could check by going to the tiscali web page and logging into your email on the web.
