PowerDVD changed my DVD region! (Can I get back to Region Free?)
Sorry to bother you, but I have a problem and I'm hoping you can assist me. I purchased a new Lenovo ThinkPad T530. The first time I put in a DVD (Region 1), PowerDVD told me it couldn't play because it was the wrong region. It listed my drive region as "FREE" and that the DVD required Region 1. It asked me the question, "Are you sure you want to change your region?" I did NOT want to change the region from "FREE" to "1". I read the question several times to make sure I didn't misunderstand the question and hit the wrong button. I clicked NO. However, it changed my DVD Region! Now it's listed at Region 1 in Windows 8 Device Manager! Why would it do this? Please tell me this is just a software setting from PowerDVD, and that it hasn't changed my drive region in the Firmware. If it's been changed in the drive firmware, how can I set it back to region free? Thank you for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
In some versions of software, "free" means that no region has been assigned yet and that you must identify a region on startup.

I had renamed my user login name and assumed that there will be no change in the settings and files. When I login with the new profile name everything is gone. How can I get back all my files and settings? Please help. Thanks.

I downloaded Icloud somehow I changed my itunes account information and cannot get back to my original account that had a redeemed balance on it how can I get back to the original account?
Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

How can you get back to the registration screen to change information once registration is complete

You don't have to. Just go to Apple's Express Lane and add products.

i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?
First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. -
Hello, I have changed my location and credit card for my apple id. All purchased apps I had before are lost. How can I get back my purchased apps? Thanks.
If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

I was at level 111 on My Tom app, but when i've changed my i Phone it starts from 1st level. How can i get back my level?
"When you changed your iPhone". Do you mean you purchased a new phone? If that is the case, did you restore the new phone from a backup of the old phone? Is it possible that the app you are using does not save data in the iPhone backup? Have you contacted the app developer to ask them about it?

I have purchased music that is on ipad and plays but is not in libary on pc as i cleared hard drive to portable backup ?how can i get back ? and sync ipad without losing it al ?
SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much. -
I'm in the US right now and want to buy ipad2 wifi 3G. Can I change the SIM card when I get back to my country in Indonesia?
Yes, as long as you purchase the GSM version (AT&T) and your Indonesian carrier supports an iPad with a micro-sim. Unlike the iPhone in the USA, the iPad is not locked to a carrier.

Window 7 has taken over my IMac and I can't get back to Mac OS
I have been running window 7 with bootcamp for about a month. Until recently, I could click the bootcamp icon in the windows systray and restart in Mac OS. Well, this week, I could no longer see the Bootcamp icon in the systray. Right clicking on the systray would bring up a window with options for various "hidden icons" one of which was the Bootcamp icon. I changed the status from "show only messages" to "always show" but still couldn't see the icon. So I clicked on the option to "show all icons on taskbar" and still can't see the bootcamp icon and now can't get back to the "options menu" ;(
I've tried rebooting while holding down the alt key....restarts in windows both with restart and shut down and then restart
I've tried entering the command at the command line as suggested in an apple help doc,(it's a long command and I don't have it handy but I copied it from the web page) but that just gives a "command not recognized" error.
What happened to my BootCamp!? and how can I get to the Mac OS?
TIACheck your control panels which is where that shortcut goes anyway.
Holding x on startup should also boot into Mac OS.
Boot from OS X DVD and go to Utility menu => Disk Utility, and repair your Mac partition.
You may want to do some maintenance on Windows as well. -
Now can't get back to my first question for you! Hate new Firefox - how to revert?
Well, I just asked a question about bookmarks - they are lost after updating Firefox. Now can't even find them anywhere. My computer switched to Yahoo! and I want to use original Yahoo. Strongly dislike new toolbar - where is print, etc.? I can't get back to a link for my original question now, so please answer all of this here.
I really just want plain old Yahoo.
I want things like print on my toolbar.
I need my bookmarks back.
Thank-you. I need step-by-step directions; please don't just tell me to look at the Yahoo! site because I have and can't figure out how to get this stuff.Previous versions are available here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
You may also wish to back up your profile for safekeeping prior to rolling back: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles
If you roll back, you will want to change your update regime to make sure you won't automatically update against your wishes. -
I recently browsed ITunes UK store and now can't get back to my iTunes US store. The UK store won't accept my email address as it is in use. So, effectively, I can't make an iTunes purchase. And, this password changing is madness. Everytime I sign in iTunes doesn't recognize my password and so I have to get a new one even though I've answered the useless security questions. Has anyone solved this problem before?
Funny how this seems to be one of the most-asked questions on the Internet. In most cases, no answer is ever checked as "Correct," either. Most answers, as on this page, say to click the flag at the bottom right-hand corner of any store page. The problem? There's only one flag!!! And it's the one of the country we don't want to be in!!!
Just in case this helps someone: what worked for me was to sign in. It then told me my id was not valid for this country, and switched me back to the US. How I was ever able to buy something from the UK store in the first place is beyond me.
By the way, Apple, experiences like this, and many, many other horrible ones with iTunes, is why those of us who do not live in the Apple world continue to stick to their Microsoft PCs. -
Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!
Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M.
