How many times can you change the region of the computer

i need to know. is there a limit?

That's not what the above KB article says but I've never tried it.
This is what is states:
In Mac OS X, this dialog box appears the first time a DVD disc is inserted:
"Since this is the first use of a DVD disc, the drive region code must be initialized before playing.
"New Drive Setting: Region Code 1
"You can only change the drive region code 5 more times."
As I read that, once you set the region code, there are five additional changes permitted. As I said I haven't tried it and I'm not about to.

How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

I've forgotten the restrictions passcode I set on my iPod. Since I don't want to perform a complete systems reset just yet, I want to try to attempt remembering my passcode... how many times can I try the restrictions passcode without permanently locking it?

This is for the restrictions passcode correct? Not the regular passcode....
And I heard somewhere that if you guess too many times, you will be permanently locked out of your device...

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

Hey Robin.T,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
iPhone is disabled
iPad is disabled
iPod touch is disabled
You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
Thanks,
Matt M.

What dowes the screen say? If it just say disable and gives not time to retry then you have to restore the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT204370 How many times can I watch the movie I just downloaded?

How many times can I watch the movie I just downloaded?

You can watch it as many times as you like, there is no limit. If you take a backup of it (even if you are in a country where films can be re-downloaded for free, there is no guarantee that they will remain in the store for future re-downloading) then you will be able to continue watching it for years to come.
Film rentals are different, in that when you start watching it you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, before it expires - but during that time you can watch it as many times as you like.

How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong
Fred
Sorry Fred you are wrong.
If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

How many times can you reset the Region?

A few minutes ago, I put a DVD into my MacBook for the first time.
It was a Region 1 disc, and immediately Apple's DVD player opened and began playing the disc. I was rather surprised, because the first time I inserted a DVD into my Mac Mini, Apple's DVD player opened, but informed me that the region must first be set before I could play a disc.
(I know that the system preferences can be set so the machine "does nothing" when a DVD is inserted. It isn't the fact that the DVD player opened that surprised me--it's the fact that I wasn't given a region-setting warning before the DVD began playing for the first time.)
I then stopped the DVD player, ejected the disc and inserted a Region 2 disc. Again, Apple's DVD player opened, and when I hit the play button, I received the notice that the drive's region was set for 1 and would have to be changed to play the Region 2 disc.
However, what was strange is that the message indicated that I only had 4 region changes remaining.
I always thought we were allowed 5 region changes.
Am I wrong, or is it possible that the region setting on my MacBook had already been set (and perhaps even reset) before I purchased it?

I encountered the same thing when I played a DVD in my MacBook for the first time, I had assumed it would ask me as my other Macs had done. However, it appears that since Panther, an administrative user does not get asked this question. The following is from the Info Article on DVD Regions
"In Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and later, users with administrative privileges aren't prompted to change the region the very first time a DVD-Video disc of a single region is inserted. Instead, the region of the DVD drive is automatically set to the region of the DVD disc that was inserted."
The article also indicates that 5 changes is the standard, so if you were logged in under an admin account it automatically set the first one for you.

How many times can i call the start()

Hi All:
I would like to know how many time you can actually call the start(),
cuz my app is doing some really strange things,
here is a fragament of my code:
private void spawnThreads()
ListIterator it = _vWorker.listIterator();
while ( it.hasNext() ) {
ClientWorker client_worker = (ClientWorker) it.next();
client_worker.start();
ClientWorker is another Thread, and in the run() of the ClientWorker, I have
public void run() {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     try {
     // Start the timer
     Process child = rt.exec(_fileName);
     // gobble any error or output streams
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(child.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(child.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
child.waitFor();
                                        } catch (IOException e) {
               System.err.println("IOException starting process!");
          } catch (InterruptedException e) {
               System.err.println("Interrupted waiting for process!");
I have a couple of cmd files to execute, so This spawnThreads() will be called a couple of times,and the funny thing is , it will execute the first cmd files, and that is it, it won't execute the 2nd or the 3rd cmd files, it will start the thread, but then the run()won't actually gets invoked,,,so I am just wondering if anyone of you has encountered this problem, perhaps you could lend me some insight on this?
thanks,

Yes, you can run the start() of a Thread more than once,
here is my Test App,
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Vector vec = new Vector();
for (int i=0;i<4;i++){
ClientThread ct = new ClientThread();
vec.add(ct);
ListIterator it = vec.listIterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
ClientThread ct = (ClientThread)it.next();
ct.start();
and as you have already guessed it the run() of ClientThread simply does system.out.println()
and here is the output
run started
run started
run started
run started
so..yeah..I don't really have any idea what is happening to my app and why it is not executing any cmd files after executing the very first cmd file

How many times can I enter the wrong password restriction?

I set restrictions on my iphone to disable some apps and save battery. Unfortunately i set it a year ago and I've used it forgotten the password and now I cannot remember it.
I tried to type the password but i did twice failed passcode, i wonder how many time i can enter the failed passcodes before my iphone will be locked forever.
Please help me
THANK YOU!

If you've forgotten the password, the number of times that the device will accept an invalid password is irrelevant.
Do as the manual says, restore the device using the computer it normally syncs with and restore as new. Restoring from backup will not remove the restrictions passcode.

Only Change the DVD Player regions 5 times!?

Really, is Apple so cheap that it thinks that is relevant? I travel, I am an NGO, so I could change regions continuously but I am restricted on my Apple to five region changes. Five! I have now moved to Europe and cannot use the DVD player because I have changed it five times previously, yet i can buy a PC or a travel DVD player that will play any and all DVDs. I now have a useless piece of software on my computer and a have to carry another DVD player because Apple are ******* ******. I actually like Apple but this is ******* me off. Maybe its time to look at the competition...

And each time you were warned that, "You can change the region code of a DVD drive only five times (including the original setting); the fifth setting is permanent", weren't you?
Maybe its time to look at the competition
Definitely. And please do share the results.
Below is an excerpt from my Fujitsu Lifebook user guide (capitalisation and stress is theirs):
• ALL LIFEBOOK DVD PLAYERS ARE SET TO PLAY DVD TITLES WITH REGION CODE NUMBER 1 WHICH IS SPECIFIED FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET. THE REGION NUMBER IS A REGIONAL RESTRICTION CODE DEFINED BY THE DVD FORUM ACTING ON HOLLYWOOD REQUIREMENTS. DIFFERENT REGION CODES ARE RECORDED ON VIDEO DVD TITLES FOR PUBLICATION IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE WORLD. IF THE REGIONAL CODE OF THE DVD PLAYER DOES NOT MATCH THE REGIONAL CODES ON THE TITLES, THEN PLAYBACK IS IMPOSSIBLE.
• YOU CAN CHANGE THE REGION CODE ON THE DVD PLAYER USING THE PROPERTIES MENU OF THE DVD SOFTWARE. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE THE REGION CODE UP TO FOUR TIMES. AFTER THE 4TH CHANGE, THE LAST CODE ENTERED BECOMES PERMANENT, AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.
