Locked the Region of the DVD Drive!!!

For reasons beyond my control the DVD drive has been locked! (The kids Fault) Is there anyway for it to be changed (If I re-install ect..) Please help!!

Big Jon.Here are some possibilities - please read the relevant warnings carefully.
Mac The Ripper copies a DVD to your hard disk and removes region coding allowing you to view a DVD from any region.
Firmware Hack - I'm not sure if this can be applied in retrospect though. Please heed all warnings given.

  • 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.

  • Question regarding  to changing the region of the app with remaining balance

    Question regarding  to changing the region of the app with remaining balance
    Hello, I am attempting to change the location of my app store which has remaining balance of 0.01$. In order to change the location of the store, it requires  spending all the remaining  balance. As my balance is too low " 0.01$" to buy an app from the store, I am not able to change the region of my app store. Moreover, Since I am not a residence in USA, I am not able to use my credit card either.
    I am wondering if it is possible to change the location of my app store with a remaining balance OR  to delete my current balance.
    Thanks

  • Can i install logic pro without the cd because my dvd driver of my mac doesn't work . i have the key for logic pro

    can i install logic pro without cd ? , i have the key for the logic pro but my dvd driver of my mac doesnt work ?

    Buy an external USB2 DVD/CD drive..... (Amazon's Basic model works great)
    Or..
    Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
    Note:
    There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
    Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

  • HT1727 how do you get the drivers for a dvd drive

    since upgrading to windows 8. I have lost my dvd drive.
    Cannot use the drive for either running a cd or writing one.

    This has nothing to do with iTunes.
    If you need drivers for hardware in your computer, contact the manufacturer of the computer or the specific hardware piece.

  • How do you change the region on the DVD Player?

    When I got to help I get an explaination about Regions.  I am told where the regions are and I am told I have a limit of 5 times to change - I have 4 times left
    How do I change the region?

    This discussion and the links within it should help:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5177007?tstart=0
    You could use VLC which ignores regions:

  • 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.

  • Get the Values of the components inside the region onto the Parent Page

    Hi All,
    I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5.
    I just wanted to know that my use case can be fitted to contextual events or should i use the #{data.pageDef.Attribute.inputValue} to get the values.
    I have a bounded taskflow "ChildTF.xml" with fragment say "child.jsff".Now i have dragged the ChildTF.xml on the other page say "Parent.jspx" as a region.In the child.jsff page i had input form having 20 fields and all the 20 fields are dragged from a View Object so i don't have the field values binded to the Managed Bean and on the parent page "Parent.jspx" i have a button. Now on click of button i need to get the values of those 20 fields of "child.jsff" page.
    How can i achieve this?
    Thanks
    Shah

    Hi Timo,
    Thanks .
    For sharing the data control i should follow this :-
    In the Property Inspector for the called task flow i.e ChildTF.xml, select Behavior.
    In the data-control-scope list, select shared.
    Is there anything else do i need to do ??
    I mean do i need to add the iterator to the parent page also. ?
    Kindly Suggest!!

  • Identify the regions where the checkbox is checked

    Hi All,
    I've a page which contains 3 report regions each one with a checkbox column. User has the flexibility to select any/all rows from each region and I need to store the selected rows into a database table.
    I've created the below process to insert the data into the table.
    FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
    LOOP
    insert into table_name (c1,c2,c3) values (v1, APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i),v3);
    END LOOP;
    The process is executing well and inserting the data into the table. But the problem is when the user select rows from different regions, I get all rows inserted into the tables but I'm not able to identify which row is selected in which region. Is there any way to identify the region from where the row is checked.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Regards,
    Prasanth

    Hi Prasanth,
    Your probably using apex_item package to generate checkboxes. So, try to change p_idx parameter.
    In your case it's probably p_idx => 1. In other 2 reports set it to 2 and 3 and then in process you can fetch that with in APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02 and APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03 arrays.

  • SetRegion does not update the region when the current one is slightly diff.

    I'm working on some iPhone MapKit code which fires off some events when the boundaries of the map change (basically some queries to an external server). There is one edge case I can't seem to solve. When users enter a new address I use setRegion to zoom in on that location and afterwards I compute the bounds of the map and query my external server with those coordinates. I always call setRegion however, there is one edge case when it will not fire. That, is, when a user magically happens to select the exact same address that lies at the current center of the map, when that map is zoomed to exactly the same region. Of course this possibility is rare but it is easy achievable in code.
    This would be the equivalent of allowing the user to drop a pin at the center of the current map and fire off a query to my server based on that. Unfortunately because the code logic depends on the region changing (which I've done so that users can easily pan around the map and not have to explicitly press a refresh button), I need a work around. How can I know when setRegion has been called but it won't fire regionWillChange / regionDidChange. Can I override the function some how?
    As a work around I tried to detect when the region wouldn't change by writing code just before I set the region to compare the new region's center coordinates and span values to that of the current map region's.
    Unfortunately when I set the search Location to be the center of the current map I get the following results:
    diff in latitude of center 0.000000
    diff in longitude of center 0.000016
    diff in latitude span -0.000000
    diff in longitude span 0.000000
    In different cases the error is slightly different but generally speaking even when the region is slightly different like this setRegion or morever, regionDidChange, do not fire. Can anyone explain why? Or how I could go about detecting this properly. Note: I also tried with mapView.centerCoordinate but I get similar errors, and I only want to know when the region will NOT change (if the centerCoordinate is the same the zoom level / region can still be different).

    I realized the code was not included. That should make my question clearer
    CLLocation *centerOfMap = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:mapView.centerCoordinate.latitude longitude:mapView.centerCoordinate.longitude];
    mySearchLocation.searchLocation = centerOfMap;
    //Recenter and zoom map in on search location
    MKCoordinateRegion region = {{0.0f, 0.0f}, {0.0f, 0.0f}};
    region.center = mySearchLocation.searchLocation.coordinate;region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    region.span.latitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    [self.mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
    And:
    //Recenter and zoom map in on search location
    MKCoordinateRegion region = {{0.0f, 0.0f}, {0.0f, 0.0f}};
    region.center = mySearchLocation.searchLocation.coordinate;
    region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    region.span.latitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    region = [mapView regionThatFits:region]; //Not sure if this is necessary
    NSLog(@"diff in latitude of center %f", (mapView.region.center.latitude - region.center.latitude));
    NSLog(@"diff in longitude of center %f", (mapView.region.center.longitude - region.center.longitude));
    NSLog(@"diff in latitude span %f", (mapView.region.span.latitudeDelta - region.span.latitudeDelta));
    NSLog(@"diff in longitude span %f", (mapView.region.span.longitudeDelta - region.span.longitudeDelta));
    [self.mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
