Last time you can change he drive region code - could I try to reset this?

Hello everybody this is my dvd driver into my iMac G5
Model: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845
Revision: DBN9
Serial Number:
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal
And this is the message that I need to avoid.
This is the last time you can change he drive region code
I'm a music student and I have several instructions DVD in region 1 and 2 but I live in South America and here it's 4.
Have any way to reset this counter to 0 and have 5 more changes or put it the driver in region free mode?
Thanks in advance
Gus

Hi Gustavo,
As someone who has travelled between regions a lot, I feel your pain.
Your only options with the UJ-845 are to get an external DVD drive, based on a drive mechanism that can be made region free, or remove the internal drive and replace it with a Pioneer K05 or K06. Pioneer drives can be made region free, and are compatible with MacOS X.
If you have one of the original G5 iMacs, without an iSight, the upgrade is very easy, and you should still keep any remaining warranty. Instructions are available at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacg517inchOpticalDrive.pdf ( or http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacg520inchOpticalDrive.pdf )
If you have one with an iSight, it is very difficult and you should get a professional to do it - Have a look at http://www.kodawarisan.com/imacg5_isight/imacg501i.html for how it comes apart.

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 ?

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.).

Help with dvd drive - region code error

Hi, I really need to change the drive region code on my Ibook G4 (OS X 10.4.10) back to Region 2. I'm allowed to change it one last time.
But the trouble is, when I try and change it and click 'set drive region' it just comes up with an error message -70001, 'There was a problem changing the drive region code.'
I've reset the PMU and PRAM/NVRAM but it still does it.
Can anybody help me at all? It's driving me mad, I was banking on being able to change it back to my Region one last time...

Insert a DVD which is set to play in only one region; if you try using up your last change with a DVD that can play in some but not all regions, that error message will appear. Many DVDs which are set to play in region 2 will also play in region 4.

Switching the DVD drive region code - Is there a workaround?

Hi - would appreciate a confirmation or helpful hints how to circumvent the regional settings.
I understand from the Apple doc, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60183, that the regional coding is set in the firmware of the drive and not linked to the player (as I had apparently incorrectly surmised). If this is the case, then installing an additional player such as the VLC media player for Mac OS X (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html) to use for say Region 1 discs, and maintaining Apple's DVD Player set for Region 2 discs would not prevent the drive from freezing the 5th time a different region coded disc is slid into the drive.
Right?
If so, the only work around would be to install an external DVD drive to set to an alternative region, right? Or does somebody know a cute way to disable the firmware coding and set the drive to multiple regions. This must be possible because DVD players are available commercially which have been set to region code 0.
I have 2 changes left ... before the big freeze. Thanks

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

How you can change region color like in GB

In GB you can change the region color from orange to purple, by doing control/option/G/click. Orange tracks will not respond to tempo or pitch changes, until they are changed to purple.
Is there a way to do the same in Logic? turn the blue regions into being able to respond to pitch/tempo change? thanks

Yes, good point. I assumed he's talking about audio that's been imported, not audio that was recorded directly into this particular project, because he's making a comparison to orange tracks in GB, which are the former.
Maybe he'll clarify which situation he's talking about. I should have asked, because he might indeed just be thinking of the simpler case.

The last time you opened Sample_App, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to reopen its windows again?

Hi,
When I run my Mac application, I get a error message saying "The last time you opened Sample_App, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to reopen its windows again?".
This message is not localized, i.e. this error message always display in English even when my system language is set to non-English language.
I want to know if its a System throws error message? How can I localize this message?
Your help/support will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Number of times you can sync to a new library?

My work computer was stolen this week for the second time and I'm wary of syncing my ishuffle to my home computer again because I'm sure the last time it warned me that you could only change the library it was associated to a specific number of times.
Since I know I've changed it at least 3 times, I'm concerned I won't have enough left to convert to my home computer temporarily until a new work one is delivered and then connect it to the new work one (my home computer doesn't have enough room to store any music on it, so I can't use it as a permament dock for all my music), this restricts the number of times I could swap it over.
So does anyone know the exact number of times you can switch between libraries?
And what happens after that - does your ishuffle stop working completely?
Also - if I connect it to my home computer to charge it temporarily, will this erase any songs in it (my home computer has been authorised to play the music I've purchased but there are other songs I've ripped from my CDs)?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

There is NO limit.

NOTHING.

In Settings UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" (don't forget to click "apply"). The NEXT time you connect the shuffle just to charge it. iTunes will NOT be involved (unless, of course, it's already running...).

Increase the amount of times you can "Step backward" alt+cntrl+z?

I find myself saving numerous iterations of my files, because the defualt settings only let step backwards a few times. Is there a way to greatly increase the amount of times you can step backward? I though perhaps the history window would let me double back on many of my actions, but even that did not go far back enough.

I'm not fully sure I follow you in this logic yet... I apologize if I'm being dense.
Saving your work occasionally is always a good idea, REGARDLESS of the number of history states. Even if you keep only 10 history states you'll lose just as much work if you haven't saved anything since the last several hundred steps and elephant droppings unexpectedly shut down your PC.
The important thing I'd like to note is that my choice of the number of history states, from what I have observed, does not seem to change the stability of Photoshop in any way.
If you find choosing a larger number of states does destabilize Photoshop on your system, perhaps you have RAM problems? Or maybe configuration issues? What do you have your RAM usage limit set to?
Your example about brush strokes is actually a good one to make my point that a deeper history can be a Good Thing. For example, if I touch up 75 spots (hot pixels in an astroimage, for example) with separate applications of the Spot Healing Brush, then I want to compare before and after images but I forgot to make a layer copy way back when, I can copy the image, go back 75 steps in the History, and paste the result over the original from an old history state to blink a before/after comparison.
The thing that's not been mentioned here is Efficiency. I have purposely populated my workstation with a lot of high reliability RAM (16 GB ECC). You might find Photoshop's efficiency going down if your system doesn't have enough RAM to be able to easily manage a deep history... Efficiency matters too, and hammering the scratch disk with a lot of I/O can not only slow things down for you but can also sometimes expose latent instability in a system.

The last time you ran LabVIEW, an internal error or crash occurred at source/typedesc/DSTM.cpp, line 211.

Nickled and dimed once again by obscure errors. This is LabVIEW 10.0.1 on Redhat EL 5.5 32-bit.
I removed an enum from the project that is also used in a typedef control cluster. Since many VIs use this typedef I have to go to each VI and save in order to remove the phantom dependencies (i.e. popup can't find enum ctl when opening VIs). In the process of opening every VI and saving LabVIew is crashing on me reliably but not everytime just after I press cancel when it tries to find the enum ctl.
Here are the errors. Sometimes the address is null....I believe LabVIEW src code should check for null/bad pointers but does not in this case.

Hello wbdoyle,
I'm sorry you are seeing that error. Did you close and save the type def that included the enum? This should prevent you from having to go through and save each VI that includes the type def. Are you using the System Exec VI? Also, are you performing any data acquisition with the VI you are referencing? The error you are seeing indicates that the LV compiler isn't handling something in your VI and I want to pinpoint exactly what is happening.
Thanks!

The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone from my toolbar. How can I get it back?

The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone form my toolbar. How can I get it back?

Your basic panel must have been accidentally deselected.
Simply right-click on one of the other panels e.g. Tone Curve and choose basic again - see image below.
You can also select solo mode, if you prefer to work in one panel at a time with the others collapsing automatically when you click on another tab.

Hi. I am a uk iPhone 5 user and will be travelling to Spain next week. Last time I went to Spain in September I could not receive calls on my phone despite having Vodafone euro traveller. I am asking what I can do to rectify this before I travel as it was really difficult to sort out once I was abroad. Please help as I'm not the best with technology. Thanks

Hi,
Is your phone locked to a carrier? If so, you will need to contact the carrier to find out what international SIM cards (if any) you can use when travelling.

hello, this should be addressed in a later version of firefox. as a workaround in the meanwhile you could try this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.
