Qosmio G30: Cannot chang the DVD region settings

I have a G30 and appear to have reset the dvd region using Qosmio rather than Windows MC.
When I try to reset the dvd region (back to region 2) Windows MC says there is one change remaining but then does not let me change, advising me that I have the incorrect region media in the drive (I don't)or I do not have administrator rights (I do).

Where did you check the drive region settings?
Did you check it in the drive properties or somewhere else?
In my opinion you have already used all region change attempts and the changing is no more possible.

How can I change the DVD regional settings?

I have changed my regional settings more than the required times and they cannot be changed any more so l cannot watch some of the dvd's l have.how can l fix it to be multi regional dvd player?

Hi Sam,
Once the allowed number of region changes has been reached you will need to flash the firmware in your DVD player in order to reset the region count. You can try to Google for the required update for your make/model of DVD ROM or you can check with a Toshiba Service Agent to see if they can arrange this for you.

About changing the dvd region

sir, despite my every effort i am unable to change the dvd region of my lenovo 3000 N 100. what i do?

DVD region codes can be changed for only five times after that it cannot be changed.
The DVD Writer will not be able to play a disc with any region code other than the last one it is set. You can check the region code that you have set by using the following steps.
Right-click “My Computer” and select “Properties”. On the “Hardware” tab, click “Device Manager”. Now double-click DVD/CD-ROM drives and click on the DVD region tab.
Regards,
Sameer

Qosmio G20: How to change the DVD region code?

My DVD is locked into region 1 is there anyway to fix this because I need it to be on region 2.
I have been using it on the correct region which is 2 but for some unknown reason it has locked onto region 1 not allowing me to make any changes.

Jeffrey speaks well.
However, you must to right click My Computer -> property -> hardware -> device manager ->
dvd/cdrom drivers -> double/click your drive -> dvd region/tab and if you have some
remained possibilities, you can choose region 2.

Changing the DVD region

A friend has bought a second hand Mac Mini. The DVD player is stuck on Region 1, presumably having exhausted its 5 available opportunities to switch. Is there any way he can switch it to Region 2?

Replacing the DVD drive would work. Try playing DVDs with VLC. For many Macs, it will play DVDs even if the DVD and drive regions don't match.

I cannot change the wireless LAN encryption WEP settings

Dear all,
I have a WRC-1000 which I did not use for about year and a half. Now I reconnected the unit and during the configuration I cannot change the wireless LAN settings for security (WEP). No matter what I do it keeps stuck on 128 bit WEP.
It also does not show the WEP key settings (so the screen where I should configure the WEP key).
This is what I have done so far: Full reset, reload default configuration, updated to latest firmware. Still no change. I suspect a hardware failure. Is this a memory failure (flash)??
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Do you speak about the router settings or about the WLan setting on the notebook???
Did you try to use a Wlan connectivity tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros WLan client utility?
Depending on your WLan card I would recommend checking these both tools and try to establish the WLan connection using one of these programs!

Changing DVD region settings

Hello! I just got my MacBook Pro today and I am trying to watch DVD's on it. For some reason it is not allowing me to change the DVD region. Since I just got it today I obviously haven't had to change the region so I should still have my 5 times to change it. The option to change to region 1 is available, however the button to confirm is grey? I don't have a DVD player so this is my only way to watch! HELP!

Only Change the DVD Player regions 5 times!?

Really, is Apple so cheap that it thinks that is relevant? I travel, I am an NGO, so I could change regions continuously but I am restricted on my Apple to five region changes. Five! I have now moved to Europe and cannot use the DVD player because I have changed it five times previously, yet i can buy a PC or a travel DVD player that will play any and all DVDs. I now have a useless piece of software on my computer and a have to carry another DVD player because Apple are ******* ******. I actually like Apple but this is ******* me off. Maybe its time to look at the competition...

And each time you were warned that, "You can change the region code of a DVD drive only five times (including the original setting); the fifth setting is permanent", weren't you?
Maybe its time to look at the competition
Definitely. And please do share the results.
Below is an excerpt from my Fujitsu Lifebook user guide (capitalisation and stress is theirs):
• ALL LIFEBOOK DVD PLAYERS ARE SET TO PLAY DVD TITLES WITH REGION CODE NUMBER 1 WHICH IS SPECIFIED FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET. THE REGION NUMBER IS A REGIONAL RESTRICTION CODE DEFINED BY THE DVD FORUM ACTING ON HOLLYWOOD REQUIREMENTS. DIFFERENT REGION CODES ARE RECORDED ON VIDEO DVD TITLES FOR PUBLICATION IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE WORLD. IF THE REGIONAL CODE OF THE DVD PLAYER DOES NOT MATCH THE REGIONAL CODES ON THE TITLES, THEN PLAYBACK IS IMPOSSIBLE.
• YOU CAN CHANGE THE REGION CODE ON THE DVD PLAYER USING THE PROPERTIES MENU OF THE DVD SOFTWARE. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE THE REGION CODE UP TO FOUR TIMES. AFTER THE 4TH CHANGE, THE LAST CODE ENTERED BECOMES PERMANENT, AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item. How can I change to book settings?

The "options" button should appear at the bottom of the iPhoto window, when you view your book, then the Book Settings Button should be available and you can activate page numbers.
But remember, that the settings available will depend on the Book Theme you selected. The above shows the settings for one of the "Travel" themes. In a Picture Book Theme, e.g. you cannot add page numbers.
What theme and book size are you using?

When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

I just installed Firefox 4 today. When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I want to change the country/region in my Apple ID but it wont let me because I have 69 cents credit left in another country's itunes how do I do it?

We bought the phone in another country and used it there on a prepay plan. we also purchased several itunes gift cards and used them to download some music. We used all but 69 cents of the credit on the itunes card before leaving that country. We are now in another country and have signed up with another cellular provider and purchased another itunes card but when we went to redeem the credit on the card it wouldn't accept it and said it was only for use in the country we were in. I realised our itunes account did not recognise we have gone to another counrty so I went into the settings of the phone and selected the iTunes and App Stores. When in that setting i tapped the Apple ID and then view Apple ID which then gives you the option to change the country/ region. However when I try to change the country I keep getting the message under the banner Account, which says "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores".
I have looked through everything but cannot find a way to delete or spend the 69 cents credit. Can anyone help me?

How do you change your dvd region from 1 to 2

How do I change dvd region from 1 to 2

Hi mike,
Happy Holidays! The resource below explains the DVD region setting can be changed.
DVD Player: About DVD-Video regions - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201705
How is the region code set?
The first time you insert a DVD disc in Mac OS X v10.3 or later:
If the disc only supports one region, the DVD drive is set to that region. No dialog box appears if you are logged in as an admin user. This will automatically count against the number of times you can change the region setting (see below).
If the disc supports more than one region, or is region-free, the below dialog appears asking you to choose a region for your DVD drive.
If you later insert a DVD that uses a different region, the above dialog will appear.
You can change the region setting up to 5 times, as indicated in the dialog box. On the fifth time, the drive is permanently set to use that region, and you cannot make any more changes. For example, imagine you have both a Region 1 and Region 2 DVD-Video disc. You insert the Region 1 disc and DVD Player is now set to play only Region 1 discs. You insert the Region 2 disc, and set the drive to play only Region 2 discs. If you continue to switch between the discs, on the fifth time the DVD drive is permanently set to use the region of that disc.
Enjoy the Season ....
