How do I set the region code for my Mac?

I have been using my powerbook since 2004. I must have changed the region code once before for the DVD player. But since then any and all DVD's have played - unless the DVD itself had a problem. A few days back i put in a DVD which needed region change. Without thinking I changed it and now I have DVD's that used to play before, not play anymore. Please let me know how I can put the region code back to what it was - where all DVD's played.
I don't think I have changed the region code five times - but can one really nor change the code once it has changed the fifth time???????? Please advice.

I got a prompt when I had inserted the DVD which needed region change. But not now when I put in any other DVD. Some work, some don't. Is it not true that when changing the fourth time, the machine gives some indication that the next time will be the last? I thought so, whcih is why I am wondering, why it is not prompting or warning me.

How do I set my Region Code for the DVD player?

When I insert a DVD, it is not prompting me to set the region code and I cannot figure out how to set it manually. When I insert a DVD, I get an error message that says "supported disk not availabe". I have already run the Repair Disk Permissions from disk utility and that didn't work so I thought maybe the problem is with the region coding. Your help is appreciated!! Thanks.

DVD Player Hasn't set the REGION code

I just got a new MacBookPro (a replacement for one that had failed). Well, I restored all my data and am working fine... BUT...
I think all my settings think that I've already set the Region Code of the DVD drive. But, using a tool, I was able to verify that the region code has NOT been set.
How can I force DVD Player to set the region code of the DVD Drive? Right now, I can't play anything.
Thanks!

Hi Jack and welcome!
Until I read the last sentence my answer would have been: insert a commercial DVD intended for your region code (unhelpfully you don't say where you are!), i.e. NTSC for the US or PAL for Europe, and it will ask you set the region code for that DVD.
Remember: you can only ever do this five times, so best not to play DVDs from other regions.
But then you spoilt it all by saying "Right now, I can't play anything"!
What did you try to play?
Did you repair permissions?

How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
Tried zapping PRAM as well.
Thanks for any clues, Rene

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. However see this also:

Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

How to delete the region code for country in T005U

Hello,
The region code for XX country are changed, So I have deleted all entries for that country in transaction code "OVK2" and updated the new region code which should be updated in Table T005S and T005U.
But in table T005U there are few region code for language other then EN. Now I need to delete the entries T005U for other language.
Now region code in OVK2 = Table T005S, but not equal to T005U
How language can be selected to delete the region code (TABLE T005U), please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
In order to delete the entries from the language table T005U, you will have to maintain in T005S.
It means that, suppose in table T005U, you have a region appearing in two languages danish and german and the corresponding entry does not exist in T005S, then follow the steps below.
1. Maintain Region XX in EN in T005S.
2. Log on in language Danish, and in table T005U, only delete the text and log off.
3. Log on in Language German, and in table T005U, delete the text only and log off.
4. Now your T005U table is clear, log on in language EN and delete from table T005S.
5. Check both tables T005S and T005U for the region XX. they both should be empty.

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?
I want to change the font color for only a couple of rows inside a JTable.
I've seen some ways to possibly do this with an individual cell.
Clarification on changing the font color in an individual cell would be helpful too if
there is no easy way to do this for a row.

hai,
Try out with this piece of code.Create your table and assign the renderer to each column in the table.
CellColorRenderer m_CellColorRenderer = new CellColorRenderer();
for(int i=0;i<your_JTable.getColumnCount();i++)
your_JTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(m_CellColorRenderer);
class CellColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
CellColorRenderer()
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setVerticalAlignment(CENTER);
setBackground(Color.white);
setForeground(Color.black);
protected void setValue(Object value)
     setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,int column)
     if(isSelected == true)
          setForeground(Color.red);
     else
          setForeground(Color.black);
     setValue(value);
     return this;

How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

Dear All,
Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

Hi,
The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
Please see the API below:
design
Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
Regards,
Jaya.

How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3 or for 16:9?

How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3 or for 16:9 in Adobe PE12?

PulcinellaNM
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so. That is all background information for now.
As for the question that you are posting....
I think we need to go a lot deeper into what you are doing. Here are some considerations
The aspect ratio setting is in the import settings. In Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, the project automatically sets the project preset based on the properties of the first video file that you drag to the Expert workspace Timeline. If your video's properties include a 16:9 flag, then the project settings will have a 16:9 flag (aspect ratio). If you do not want the project to set the project settings automatically, you can set the project settings yourself manually with File Menu/New/Project and then import your source video.
If a problem exists where imported 16:9 video is presenting in Premiere Elements as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (typical of the JVC .mod file issue), then you can set the pixel aspect ratio under Interpret Footage feature inside the project workspace.
At this point, I think it best for you to give more details and background behind your question so that we can be sure that we are giving you the information that you need to succeed in your projects.
If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
Thank you.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.

I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

How do I set the home page for a new tab?

How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button. <br />
