My mac says my region code is 2 but its actually 4

my mac says my region code is 2 but its actually 4 HOW DO I CHANGE IT ... I HAVE A TON OF DVD'S UNDER THE REAGION OF 4 THAT I CANT PLAY
HELP .!!!!!!

Open the DVD Player application, click its Help menu, and search for "DVD region" in the help files. Among the results will be instructions for changing your drive's region code. NOTE CAREFULLY that you can only change this four times in all — the fifth region that is set (counting the initial region as the first of the five) will be permanently locked.

It keeps saying my security code is wrong but its not

If the security code or anything else is rejected the rejection comes from your card issuer. Apple is just passing the message along. So you need to contact the issuer.

Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but that's not true?

Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but there should be plenty of space on it?

You need to get a program like OmniDiskSweeper, it will check your drive and see what is taking up the space. From there you can decide what to do.

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

It's probably telling you that you need 1.5 more GB than you have available. Hook up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the update from there. OTA updates require a lot more memory than ones done via iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

IMessage on Mac: country and region code?

Hi,
The Message app in Mac OS it's not working correctly, and I think it's because of the country and region code.
I can't send messages to the contact phone number (previously added to Contacts app) as I do on the iPhone, it says the number is not registered with iMessage. I have to manually type 5511 (my country and region code) before the phone number. I do not need to do this on the iPhone, all local phones have no code at all and are in the format ####-####.
Everything else works fine, the messages are even synced in both devices, but as the Mac OS app sees the sender's number with country and region code, it does not match any of my contacts in the Contacts app.
Is there any preference I need to set or any other way to resolve this?
Thanks!

HI,
Actually they are two different apps and the approaches are slightly different.
The iOS version can check if the recipient is also iMessages compatible and will switch to SMS if Not.
This means there are extra steps before iMessages are sent to the iMessages server for delivery.
The Mac version can tell you the recipient is not using iMessages but does not switch to SMS meaning the action is Local to the device and not at Server level.
As far as I can tell the iMessages server works on storing full international Numbers as an ID which is then linked to an Apple ID.
Obviously the numbers can vary in the number of digits with some countries only having one leading + digit (i.e America is +1) and others have longer (i.e. the UK is +44 and Brazil is +55)
In the UK different carriers are separated in the next four digits a bit like an area code.
I must admit that sometimes I select an Name and the choice for an iPhone Number in the Contacts part of adding a name to the "To" field and it tells me it does not like the number.
Clicking and holding the red box at the pointed arrow end shows me the alternatives and I can uses the same number in an acceptable format.
Part of this is what is "registered" as the number with the iMessages server compared to other places
What people registered and what you have in your Contacts info may be the same but I would think the iMessages servers are expecting a minimum number of digits.

When I try to download any app my phone says I need to sign in to verify and it takes me to a billing screen. Then it always says my security code is wrong, but it's not

MY iPhone won't let me download apps, it says I need to sign in and verify account payment options. Even for a free app and then it says my security code is wrong on my credit card! Ugh!! Help please!

Did you ever get this fixed? I started getting this same message yesterday when changing my card to a debit card that I had used previosuly for years. My last purchase was Saturday morning. Creating a new account results in the same message no matter whar card I try. They must flag accounts by computer ID for this to be happening.
I got a message stating that my problem has been handed to a senior advisor. I hate this wait especialy since I have had my account since 2003.

When i login it says my apple id is valid but its not an icloud id

when I try to login i get a message telling me my apple id is valid but its not an icloud id .I dont have any apple mobile priducts so i have no idea what to do.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing account on a PC. You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

My Mac says I downloaded iTunes 10.7, but I when I open iTunes, it is still iTunes v. 10.5.3. What do I do? It simply won't install.

I recently downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S (without connecting it to my computer, I downloaded it straight from my phone), and so today, I tried to download a few songs from my iTunes library to my phone. But when I connected my phone, it says that I must download iTunes 10.7, so I did. I restarted my computer and plugged my phone in again. The same message popped up saying I need iTunes 10.7.3 to work with iOS 6, so then I try to download it like 5 more times, and yet there is no difference. When I click on More Details on the pop-up box with the software update, it says that iTunes is downloaded but not installed. How should I resolve this issue? Thank you.

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X

ITunes says my security code is invalid but isn't

I'm trying to buy something from both iTunes and then App Store. Both say that my security code on my debit card is invalid but I've made sure it's not. I've made sure I have input my card number, exp. date, and card type correctly. I've read that this has happened to people but I need a fast solution! I must download Pages!

Credit card security code or postcode issues.
To be able to download free apps without a recognised method of payment or gift card.
Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

Im trying to use my dads visa , but it keeps saying the security code is incorecct. Its not though

I just want to know why the visa im trying to use is always incorrect. It should work !

The iTunes store will often report the securty code is invalid if there are other issues with the credit card. I have seen at least on case when that was reported for a card that had zero available credit. There is also another case where the card does not pass some address check with Apple that it reports that it is invalid. I don't remember any more details on that latter issue though.

Why does it keep saying my security code is invalid, but it clearly is not?

I used a gift card my brother had bought me for christmas and I assumed I could used it because it was american express and it had a card number. So I put that in and it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to switch back from the american express to my visa, it said that my security code was invalid and that my card had been declined(the american express).

If you know the card ifo is valid I would contact the iTunes store. Go to the Itunes Store Account and Billing section of the following:
