DVD region not able to be set

Hey guys,
I am trying to set the region on my internal DVD drive to region one because for some reason it wasnt set from the factory. But every time I try to set it, it gives me an error.
"There was a problem changing the drive region
Error: -70001"
Anyone have any idea how to get this to set?
Thanks guys.

DVD & CD Not Able to Burn

I have an iMAC G5, with Matshita DVD-R UJ-846 which was successfully burning photos and DVD (from iDVD etc). However, now it is not accepting any blank disks and simply ejecting them (after a minute) and hence unable to copy / burn anything. These are the same make that worked before, and I have tried copying with disk utility, iDVD and Toast with no success.
Any suggested corrections and / or tests to run - if not can you swap the drive?
Thanks Neil

I'm Trying to burn an MP3 disk from ITunes and I keep getting the error code "The Burner is in use by another application." When I go into force quite I don't see any applications running. I also went into disk options in the system prefrences and set ignor all applications when black CD is inserted.
As well as ensure no other applications were open, I was unable to see anything else running in the background.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Officejet Pro 8600 not able to be set as default printer

I've just installed the Officejet Pro 8600 on my wireless network. It was added correctly using WPS andindicated no problems found on the wireless network test results that the printer did. All items were listed as 'PASS'. It is showing up in the device and printers on my Windows7 64-bit machine. When I right-click on the printer icon, it does not allow me any option to set it as my default printer and it also doesn't show up as an available printer from any application to print (like from MS Office). The device driver was auto-located by Windows, so there is also no option for me to update it. Anyone have a solution for what I need to do to get the printer available to actually print too?? Thanks.

Hi,
I had a smiliar problem for the same printer that I bought just yesterday.
Despite numerous troubleshooting tasks, I was still unable to make the printer my default one.
I tried
- switching from wireless to USB connected
- uninstalling and reinstalling
- cleaning registry entires as directed here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup-e-g-Windows-8/Cannot-Set-HP-Officejet-...
- running troubleshooting wizards and more...
So... after yet another re-installation, I went here:
https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help/about
and clicked on Printer Support under Additional Help (down at the bottom)
- choose North America
- choose HP Support - United States (English) --> Product Support and Troubleshooting -
- now - here - IMPORTANT - http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html :
DO NOT Enter a product name/number
- but choose
Or automatically find your products and solutions - click on START button
you may need to ALLOW your antivirus software to scan your computer and after a minute or so you will get a response like this:
1 HP products were discovered
»HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Serial Number: Product # here Product Number: Number here
Now got to Start - Devices and Printers and RIGHT CLICK on the HP printer device and choose Printer Properties:
The GENERIC NAME "HP Officejet Pro 8600" needs to be replaced with FULL NAME of your printer:
HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g
Click "Apply" - click OK
Now make your printer DEFAULT
GOOD LUCK!

Parental Controls : "bedtime" not able to be set

I'm trying to set a bedtime as a parental control on my mac. I can't enter a time at all as the field is blank and I can't scroll up or down. I've had this same problem in iWeb and I can't set certain fields. I still cant enter dates in iWebs countdown timer after several months of people trying to help.

It started to work for some reason. I'm not quite sure how.

SuperDrive DVD region not changing despite having one change left.

My DVD superdrive won't change back to 'Region 2' after watching a 'Region 1' DVD. When I insert the 'Region 2' disc the pop up menu comes up asking if I want to change the region to match the disc. It says that this is the last time I can change the region but when I click the option to change it nothing happens and eventually the SuperDrive winds down.
Mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro - Mountain Lion (10.8).

I don't think so because when I inserted the Region 1 disc it said I had two changes left. So that's one change to change from R2 to R1 then the last change to change back to R2. It quite clearly states in the image above that I have one last attempt.

Why am I not able to manually set transition times?

I insert a transition between clips and iMovie sets a default time of 1 sec. I input a new time -- say, 3 seconds. iMovie appears to accept the new time, but when I replay the video, the default time is back. What step am I leaving out? This is the new version under Maverick. Thanks,

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your phone that is preventing the backup. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

How do I set the DVD region code via ARD?

We recently deployed around 200 MacBooks in a k12 environment and manage them via ARD & WGM. We forgot to set the DVD region when creating our master image and as a result, every single MacBook prompts for an admin password when attempting to use the DVD Player to view a DVD for the first time.
Instead of attending to each of the 200+ MacBooks personally and putting a DVD in and setting the region code one by one, is there a way I could do this via ARD? Unix command? Managed preference via WGM? Thanks, I appreciate any input.

I've been working on this very topic for about a year. Here's what you need to know.
1) setting the region code on your master image would result in the same behavior. Setting the region code triggers an update to the DVD drive firmware itself - it's not something that's stored in software. Obviously this is something that needs to be set on each machine individually. Setting it on the image won't affect the imaged-machines.
2) Apple seems to have gone to great lengths to hide the app that triggers this action. If they had provided a simple CLI interface to trigger this on a client machine we'd be able to use ARD to trigger the action on all of our client machines. Alas, this app is buried somewhere I can't find and seems to only rear its head when a DVD with a region code is inserted into the drive. There is one idea that popped into my head while at Macworld that I want to try to see if I can find this app but I have my doubts.
3) Failing my last ditch effort to find this app, I think our fallback will be to give users explicit rights to set the initial DVD region code on thier machines. This is something that can be done using WGM. There is a rule in /etc/authorication specifically allowing users/groups to set the region code for the first time. According to the notes, giving this access will NOT allow users to change the region code - which is a good thing - but only give them rights to do so the initial time. This way, we can empower our users to help themselves while also protecting them from resetting the region code accidentally.
In conclusion, I haven't found any way to script/push this command to a client machine. I'll definitely file this with Bug Reporter and hope Apple will give us a CLI or an ARD command to trigger this action after imaging.

Can dvd region setting restore by reinstalling mac os?

I am currently using Mbp and have a dvd drive "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-867" with Firmware Revision: HA13. Currently set as region 3. Can i restore the number of chances of changing dvd regions to "no regions is set" by reinstalling mac os?

Note that RegionX only works with a region-free drive. Most Mac drives are not region-free; you can determine the status of yours by downloading this utility:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16366/
If your drive is indeed region-locked; there's probably little or nothing you can do. I have not seen any region-lock hacks for any recent SuperDrives.

Dvd region setting error 70001

Many users have reported that there machines magicly get there 5 used up. Is there a possibility that anyone could have stuck a DVD in that you were not aware of.
Many users opt to use Mactheripper and make Region Free copies that eliminate this problem.

Not able to connect to Internet (Safari pre-set websites, YouTube, i-Tunes)

I am not able to connect to the internet, even though it appears I'm getting wireless on the iTouch. Have read numerous threads, nothing I have done has worked (tying to match my iTouch wireless settings to my Windows laptop settings, restarting router multiple times, choosing other under networks and trying to reset up my router config, trying to connect to IP using http://192.168.1.1 and/or http://192.168.1.1).
So get message "Cannot Connect to iTunes store", "Cannot connect to YouTube", and "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server".
On my wirless settings (note my router is a Netgear DG834GB and works fine on both Windows based laptops in our home):
- My home network is checked;
- Under DCHP, BootIP, and Static all fields BUT router, search domains, client ID are checked.
- HTTP proxy is currently set to Auto with URL blank.
Apologies, been trying to read through threads to find the answer that will get me going, but either haven't found it yet or things like installing firmware (where do I install it, on my laptop or itouch, etc?) I don't understand what exactly needs to be done to do that.

disable wireless security on your router and see if you can connect

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I am not able to access "security and privacy" button under "system preferences". I like to activate "find my mac" but cannot access privacy setting after upgrade. Kindly advice.

Superdrive not able to read DVDs or CDs

I'm having an iMac G5, running MacOs 10.4.3 with an Matshita DVD-R UJ-846. Since quite some time now I'm not able to read inserted DVDs or CDs. Either a dialogue box appears telling me I've inserted a blank disk or nothing appears and I have to find another way to eject the disk again. I have no clue whether the drive is ruined or I simply need another newer driver. Please, can anyone help? Cheers!
