How do I change the country code on the DVD player?

A friend put an European DVD into her iMac computer.  It asked her for a country code.  She entered the European code.  Now she wants it back ti North America.  How does she change it back?

DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • How do I add the country code to all contacts when it did not previously appear?

    I just moved from the US to the UK and purchased a new iPhone 4S.  When my contacts migrated from Outlook to the iPhone they did not include the country code in the US and therefore all contacts numbers are now listed incorrectly.  How can I add the country code to hundreds of contacts painlessly?
    Thanks in advance.

    International Assist is activated.  Upon further review this appears to be a case of the original country codes not being added when the contact list was constructed.  iOS has not figured this out and thus when changing countries I've been forced to add the country codes to every contact record manually.  Disappointing and very labour intensive.  If only Apple allowed for a macro that simplified the mass change.

  • To get the country code...

    Hi...I need some help...I need to get the country code of the client browsing.For example..If the server is located in US and the client is browsing from China...the server shoulod know that this client is from China,,how to get the client's country code in the server.
    From URL ,,its explicit,,i,e if th URL reads as www.dfd.co.ch,,there from url i can get the country...but if the URL is same for all,,then how to get the end users country code???
    Please let me know asap.

    Subhash

    You can only take a "best guess" judging upon their browser locale settings. They client browser sends that with the "Accept-Language" header.
    API methods are in ServletRequest: request.getLocale() and request.getLocales();

    How can I change the Wireless card country code?

    The country code is automatically detected and set by your router. Wireless routers use the frequencies specified by the regulatory agencies in the countries in which they are sold.
    There is nothing to change in your MacBook.

  • How do I disable or delete the country code prefix

    I'm in Mexico and want to call another Mexican city ant skype keeps adding 52 before my number. Apparently it thinks I'm in the States and will need this code. How on earth do I just type in a phone number without a code? I don't need a country code to make this call. Actually this new "feature" of automatically adding a country code prevents me from using Skype. Help anyone? Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    You always need to start phone numbers with the country code when calling from Skype. Take a look at the instructions for calling landline or mobile phones: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA20/how-do-i-call-mobiles-and-landlines-in-skype-for-windows-deskt...
    Best to save phone numbers in you Skype contacts starting with the country code. If you are calling numbers via the dialpad you can change the default country via the dropdown next to the number field.

  • How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

    How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your country code does not appear in the list…
    Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Keychain and enter your Apple ID password (Settings > iCloud > Keychain, from a mobile device)
    Select the ‘Create Different Code’ option. (Mobile devices only)
    Select the advanced option and choose whether to create a random code or no code, selecting the later allows syncing across devices but not with Apple’s servers.

  • How can I call contacts from my list without the country code that is registered with that contact?

    I have all my contacts registered with a country code. When I want to make calls from my iphone, I do not want the phone to dial the country code, but only the area code. How can I make that happen?

    Your 3G backup contains your contacts already, you don't need to sync them to Outlook or anything just restore the backup file from the 3G onto the 4S and you should be good to go.

  • How to prevent users from entering '+' or '0' in front of country code in the phone number field?

    Requirement:
    How can I prevent guest users from entering '+' sign or '0' in front of country-code in the visitor phone number field during self registration?
    Few SMS service providers are not looking for '+' sign or '0' or '00' in front of the international phone numbers to trigger the sms. Providing these values in front of country code during self-registration may fail to deliver the sms to recipient.
    Solution:
    Using a simple regular expression, you can validate the entered phone number during the guest registration. 
    The below regular expression will help you to validate the phone number and allows to register only  when the phone number is not staring with '+' or '0'. 
    ^[1-9][0-9](\d{7}|\d{8}|\d{9}|\d{10}|\d{11}|\d{12})$
    It also performs the below validations.
    only numbers are allowed.
    first digit of the entered phone number should be 1 to 9, so '+' or '0' is not allowed. 
    numbers from 0 to 9 are allowed from the second digit.
    also validates phone number length, the length of the phone number should be 9 to 14.
    Configuration:
    To add the above regex in the visitor_phone number filed, please navigate to ClearPass Guest >> Configuration >> (Pages)Guest Self-Registration >> select the self-registration page and go to Edit >> Register Page >> Form >>  select the filed visitor_phone and set the Validator to " ISRegexMatch" and enter the above regex in the Validator Argument filed as shown below.
    Note:  Edit the Validation Error as per your requirement.
    Verification
    Adding the given regex will validate the phone number and prevent the guest user from registering the phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
    Please find below the sample outputs for your reference.
    Result when phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
    Successful registration.

  • How do I change the Version Code in the Flash Android settings Android app market?

    I recently tried to update my app in the Android app market and when I uploaded it I got the following message:
    "The new apk's versionCode (1000000) already exists."
    In the Flash Adnroid settings I changed the version label but that did not help.
    So I have two questions:
    How do I change the Version code in the Flash Android settings? I changed the version number and version label but that did not work.
    What is the difference between the version number and version label?

    I tried that but it did not work. Apparently there is a difference between the version code and version number (which is set in the Android settings). From my research the version label is optional, so there are no problems there.
    This is the what the XML file says:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">
      <id>com.company.nameofapp</id>
    //Below is the correct version number, but has no relation to the version code.
      <versionNumber>1.1.0</versionNumber>
      <versionLabel>NewLayout</versionLabel>
      <filename>Name of app</filename>
      <description/>
    I did find this piece of information for Androin version codes. (http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/versioning.html)  But I don't know how to place it into the xml file without conflicting with other code.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.example.package.name"
          android:versionCode="2"
          android:versionName="1.1">
        <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        </application>
    </manifest>
    Any other thoughts are much appreciated.

  • "Message Sending Failed" after adding the country code number?

    I changed a contact's number (in this case I simply added a country code to it) and now the messages aren't sending to the number I changed it to. How can I get the SMS library to redirect itself to the new number? When I delete the contact, the SMS library shows that it is still sending to the old number.
    The only solution I've found on the internet so far is delete the SMS library. I have tested it with other numbers in which I added a country code to as well and it works. But the text messages for this particular contact are very important and I need to keep them. Is there ANY way I can redirect an old SMS library to a new number?

    Hi, Thilina66.  You say you have entered the country code but still cannot make international calls.  I suppose you are adding the international access code before the country code.  This internaltional access code (011 in the US, 00 in Europe, etc.) can be substituted by adding a + sign before the country code.
    For example, to call a number in the UK from the US you have to dial:
    011 44 7540 267898
    or
    +44 7540 267898
    To call a number in the US from the UK you have to dial:
    00 1 212 456 1470
    or
    +1 212 456 1470
    Please check that the contact number in your address book is correctly written if you are dialing directly from the address book or that you enter the correct numbers in the keyboard if you are dialing from the keyboard.

  • Cannot change default country code?

    I'm using the latest version of Skype App on my iPhont 4s. The country code keeps +41 inside dialing tab, no matter how many calls I made.  It's so annoying, because I've to change it every time before I dial. Would anyone knows how to change it? I searched it on Google, but no luck. Thanks 

    Its not a bug but wrong implementation by Skype. Skype would by default use regional code of iOS but they should have provided some way to override this , since people obviously buy skype to call other regions that they are not staying in. Anyway, lets go straight to fix. To change this in IOSGo to Settings --> General --> Internaltional --> Region Formatselect Country you want DEFAULT code code for in SkyPe Restart Skype .hope this helps. Cheers! surprised why Skype members were not ableto respond to this thread.
