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:

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do???

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do??? My plug are asking me to re-register them too. This is annoying. Please help!!!!!

How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library:
reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

Any way i can change the region code after the fifth time?

I wasn't aware about the region code being lock after the fifth time.
Is there any way I can change the region code instantly?

No, the drive is permanently locked to the last code you used. If it's not on the one you would prefer, the only thing you can do it replace the drive.
Almost all drives you can get are region free. I couldn't tell you why Apple continues to use drives that require selecting a region.

HT2397 Is region code is recorded in the DVD drive? So, if I have two Apple USB SuperDrive, I can have two separate region code?

If the region code is recorded in the DVD drive, then I can purchase two Apple USB SuperDrive to play different region DVD ?

To Apple Discussions!
It has been reported that VLC overrides the 5 region code option. You will need to read their documention on their website. Otherwise................
You can change the computers region "only 5 times". Then it's locked in the 5th version/region (until you erase your HD & start all over.).

My DVD Player hangs when trying to change the regional code the first time

Hello,
I am new to this forum and I couldn't find one for the DVD Player specific so I chose this one. Please direct me to a different one if my eyes were misleading me.
I have a new Macbook. Just over three month now and I attempted to watch a movie with the DVD Player last night the first time. When inserting the DVD, the DVD player comes up with a Screen asking me to change the Regional Code from 6 to 1. I don't understand this in the first place since I purchased my Mac within the US. But anyway, When I unlock it with my password and then click the "Set Regional Code" Button (Regional Code preset to one at this time), it turns blue and then the rainbow wheel for being busy shows up. Unfortunately it never leaves and going to the activity monitor it says (Not responding). That causes bad Windows Memories .
Tried multiple ways, let it run for 10 hours and it never returns to the world. Very frustrating, since this is the first time I tried to use this feature.
Is there any advice on how to set this to Regional Code 1. I only have to set it once, but I think there must be an option.
And yes, I know of VLC, but I still would prefer to use this regular DVD player. I think this should work somehow.
Computer out of the box, nothing other then iWorks and MS Office 2008 installed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Does the account you are using have admin rights? I found this :
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
+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. Accounts that don't have administrative privileges must authenticate with an administrator account name and password, because changing the drive's region code requires administrative privileges.+
Sounds like it might be worth a try from an admin account first.

How can I over-ride the regional code?

I buy DVD from different countries.
In my Microsoft I could over-ride the regional code.
Question: What can I do with my Probook to play DVDs from variious regional codes?
Is there a software avaliable or what else can I do?
Volker

"Is there a software avaliable or what else can I do?"
There is no method by which an MBP can have the regional code reset. There are external players that do not utilize the regional coding, and allow all optical media to be used. Google is your friend.

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 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 can i use the project code instead of project xml?

hello
i use the sessionbean+toplink structure,after i finish the o-r mapping by using the mapping work bench,i generate the project xml file,then in the "session.xml" file,i refer to the project xml,then i can use it from sessionbean.
i hear that if i use the project code instead of project xml file,it will be more performant,is that true?
otherwise,how can i use the project code instead of project xml file?i mean, in "session.xml", i can use the "<project-xml>" tag to refer to the project xml file,then in my session bean,i get the server session by read the "session.xml" file.but if i use the project code,how can i refer it from the "session.xml"?the examples that come with the toplink installation only tell me how can i use the project xml file within the session bean,it don't give me any clue about using the project code in the sesion bean,who can give me a step-by-step instruction and code snippet?
thank you very much?

There is a slight performance gain during session load at startup but there is no difference at runtime. The choice of which to use is dependent upon you build process. Whether it is easier to submit a new version of the class into the comile build process vs an XML file. In most cases it is just a preference of the development team.
When you use the project-class you'll need to generate the source code and compile it into your system. Typically it is packaged with the persistent classes. You may need to configure your environment so that the class-loaders have access to these classes (same for the XML case).
When using the project-class you simply replace the project-xml entry like this:
<project-class>oracle.toplink.demos.employee.relational.EmployeeProject</project-class>
The DTD for the session.xml file is found at <TOPLINK_HOME>\core\sessions_4_5.dtd. It is also in the documentation at:

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?

Hi Katia,
Essentially the same sample app which was referenced above (http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11/demos/DVT_Gantt_Chart/ADFDVTGanttChartDemo.html). There are many features implemented in this sample which I'll be "reinventing the wheel" with. Its been a bit since I worked with the gantt component as I had to abandon for other development but will be getting back into it here shortly.
Namely as I remember, I had difficult time getting the gantt to load quickly with large amount of tasks, difficulty getting the selected item when using context menus or buttons defined within the control, and a few other minor issues which could be fixed as I was using the first release of 11g and cannot remember specifics. I'll let you know as I get back into it if I see similar problems.
For example, if you go to the ADF Demo Site (http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/feature/index.jspx) and click on "Project Gantt Custom Menu and Toolbar - add menus and buttons on the Project Gantt Menu and Toolbar". The buttons work, however if you first select a row in the left and then click the button, you have to click twice for it to work (in my findings the action listener never "fires"). So in my case I want to select a row and then have a custom event for that selected row when I click the button. There were other similar findings I had when I tried to go off of the examples.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Kris
