Regarding region lock (Australia)

A couple of questions:
1. I'm traveling to Japan and was wondering if I could bring my iphone along, throw in a japanese sim to make calls and access the internet. I've got a 3GS on Virgin.
2. A friend of mine wants to get an iphone, would he be able to get one in japan that isn't region locked? And would it be any cheaper?
Thanks guys

Is there a way to work out whether my iphone is unlocked? I only got it a month ago and I haven't done anything to unlock it.
If it isn't, how do I get it unlocked? Does it cost anything?

Is Adobe CC region locked via IP address?

Hello my main questions are the following, is Adobe CC subscription region locked to the country/region purchased? If i buy Adobe CC subscription in Australia and later travel to Europe will i be able to use the program to its fullest without issues. Can i connect to my CC with any regions IP or will i need to VPN my way in? If this is the case is it an issue with Adobe in doing this? Or are there other things needed to consider?
The subscription plan i desire is one year long so i need to be sure on compatibility. I have used the search function and couldn't get anything close to this question.
Thanks

Here is the update:
You are welcome to continue to utilize the Creative Cloud while traveling, you can be offline for up to 99 days if you are an annual subscriber provided that you maintain the Adobe ID country, payment details (billing Details), Currency in Credit card of the CC being paid same.
I would request you to test the working of the CC membership prior to travel. So long as it works before you go, the CC should be fine.

Iphone5 region lock?

hey there,
i would like to know can my iphone 5 be use in China? Its functioning normal as usual when im in Malaysia, i did not unlock my iphone5 when i made my purchased in aus.
pls advise! thanks
regards,
msleong

Hi,
iPhones are not region locked. However, some parts inside may not be compatible with (in your case) non-Australian carriers due to the cellular radios being different in every country. So until you try it, you don't really know.
Hope this helps!

Ipad air 2 region locked

Hello,
This month, my mother will be going on a business trip to Bangkok. And said that if I want to get something, I could. So I was looking for a tablet for my degree course(educational) purposes. My question is, will the app store be region locked if get an ipad from a different country and use it in my country(I reside in India).
The one I am planning to get is the ipad air 2 128GB Wifi Only.
Talking on point, if I buy the aforementioned iPad in Bangkok and then bring it here in India, will I face any issues regarding the app store, the itunes store and also any problem with the upgrades for the iOS as I will be connecting to the internet via Wi-Fi only.
Thank You.
PS: The reason I am getting it from Bangkok is because my mother will be getting a bonus while she is there, so the expenses will be covered technically.

It's not region locked, the country for the stores (iTunes, App Store, iBookstore) will be picked up from the country on your iTunes account, not where it was bought. If you will be using it in India the stores will pick up the Indian store from your Indian billing address on your account.
You won't have problems updating the iOS, that is also not dependent upon where the iPad was bought and subsequently used. All you may need is to be a plug adapter to be able to charge it from the mains.
An iPad doesn't have international warranty, so if you have problems with it you may have to return it to the country of purchase - with a wifi-only iPad you may be ok, but you may not be covered for it in India

MSI DR4-A region locked

Hi,
i have an MSI DR4-a which appears to be region locked to region 1, i'm in the UK. I have played several disks however it never asked about changing the region. Is there a simple way of unlocking the drive or will updating the firmware from 2.23, which i'm on, to 2.30 clear the region setting.
thanks in advance

Hi,
I updated with firmware 2.30 and with me it did!
Apart from that, updating solved some problems I had and improved the performance! (See also info posted by other users, who benefit from this update)
For those havong problems with region codes: The free program DVD Genie may fix this. For this and other progs, please see http://www.doom9.org/

HT1918 How do i change the country of my credit card, ie it was registered in the Uk and I have moved to Australia, but it won't change the region to Australia for me to put my new details in...

How do i change the country of my credit card, ie it was registered in the UK and I have moved to Australia, but it won't change the region to Australia for me to put my new details in. It says that it must be a UK card...

Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They can clear the remaining balance for you so you can change countries. You may, however, wish to just create a new iTunes Store account in the Russian store. Otherwise you may lose the ability to update any apps you purchased in the US store.

I would have thought that was obvious.....you can't! You will just have to wait until it is officially launched.

Region lock on iPad?

I will fly to the US and intend to pick up an iPad over there in May. As I have a German iTunes account, will I encounter any issues with a region lock or similar obstacles when setting it up?
Thanks,

It would be cheaper to buy it on eBay and have it shipped to you.
Right now the iPad store won't be accessible to you, so you won't be able to get any apps. It also may mean you can't register it.

How to remove Region-lock on DVD drive?

HI,
My laptop is equipped with pioneer dvr-k16a. I had watched some DVD borrowed from my friend who required region 1 to play, so I switched it to region 1 and now I can't switch it back anymore. Apparently my DVD-RW being region-locked which I know only after it happens.
Is there anybody can help me up?

If there are no more USER changes allowed, than your drive is permanent locked into the last used Region (Region 1 is America).
There MUST have been a message on your screen asking for your permission to change into a different Region when you switched it to a Region 1.
Like the previous post, I would not flash the drive into a region-free neither, as it is a risky procedure which voids warranty and quality of your drive. This procedure can't be declared as ilegal, as someone easily could buy several Multi-bay drives for each region to watch his Films on.
You can still watch different region movies on a region-locked drive with specific region-free software solutions. Google them yourself as I don't want this reply to disappear again.

Regional Locking

Someone at the Carphone Warehouse in the UK said that iPhones bought through them, even if initially SIM-Free, are locked regionally (only usable with networks in the UK), whereas SIM-Free iPhones bought directly from the Apple UK site are totally unlocked, so I can use it internationally even after using it with a UK network.
However, I assume that this is referring specifically to the phone and not the SIM? If I buy an iPhone 5 directly from Apple and a '3' nano SIM from Carphone Warehouse to apply to the iPhone as its first SIM, will it remain totally unlocked or will regional locking apply? Doesn't seem like there's any info about this on their website or product details.
Thanks for any clarification.

So, just to confirm, if the phone itself is bought from Apple, but the SIM for the phone is bought from Carphone Warehouse and applied to the phone, the phone itself will still be able to be used internationally, because it's the phone but not the SIM that matters in this case, right?

How do I region lock a DVD/Blu-Ray drive?

I want to region lock my drives. So e.g. I want to lock a DVD drive on one computer to region 1 and another drive on another computer(or the same computer) to region 2. Is there a safe fool proof way of doing that? Thanks.

Hi
It's not a relevant question - In iDVD forum as
iDVD - can only make one region setting = region 0 (Zero)
This means that DVDs if made for the right TV-Standard (NTSC or PAL) will play in ALL REGIONS.
TV-Standard - is something else and can be set for each new DVD project.
• PAL = 25 frames per second (fps) (EU)
• NTAC = 29.97 fps (USA)
Do not let iDVD convert material from one to the other ! iDVD tries to do it - BUT RESULTING DVD is poor or Worse.
(I use JES_Deinterlacer) to do this - does it so much better and is free)

BOXI 3.0 - Strange behaviour in infoview regarding regional settings

Requirement: Currency to be shown in Brazil format (##.###,00)
We have a requirement where all financials in reports should be in a Brazil format (##.###,00).
As the report is built in Deski (.rpt) therefore u201CPreferred Viewing Localeu201D setting in infoview will not work (works only for .wdl- webi reports).
We followed below steps in Deski report to meet our requirement:
Tools -> options -> Language -> Unsupported Language -> Portuguese(Brazil)->checked the option u201Dmigration forcedu201D.
It worked perfectly when run in deski.We published the report in infoview but didnu2019t see any change in format, it was still showing us in English(US).For testing purpose we published the copy of same report and could see the changes. But after refreshing few times the formatting got disappeared.
Please help how to get the desired behavior in infoview.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pallavi

Hi Seb,
Thanks seb.
But the problem is we have reports for country UK,AUS,US ..etc as well in our repository.If we change the regional settings the format will change for these reports too.We want this format only for Brazil reports ..so this solution won't work in our case.
Why is Unsupported Language settings not working in infoview (we have applied this settings in Brazil reports only)...or is there anything that i have missed in settings?
Regards,
Pallavi

With regard to lock object and authority check

hi all
i would like to know about lock object and authority check specifically in reports. there is a coding in sap library with regard to authority check, but there is no coding to restrict user (i mean there is no user names that the object is restricting for a particular user or any user has got permission to change or display object).
further, the code mentions that you need an authorization in your user master record for the object, could any of u explain where is user master record.
below is the code for authority check.
*&      Module USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
    WHEN 'SHOW'.
