Region Setting on MacBook pro - no longer CD rediness supported

Hi,
I live in Europe, but I'm quite often travelling to the US. Yesterday I bought a DVD movie in US with region code. Since I'm using Vista for Outlook purposes on my MacBook Pro I was too lazy to boot in Leopard. So I was asked by Vista to set the regional code what I did. Today I bought some Audio CDs which I wanted to play with my MacBook PRo on Leopard, but Leopard said that these CDs are not readable. With Windows they are.
Any suggestions how to enable my CD ROM again?

Yes, you can load your camera software using an external drive.
You can also replace the internal optical drive.
Have a look at OWC for compatible internal drives.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

    Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV.  I would check the settings on the Vizio TV.  Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input.  Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them.  Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that.  (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

    I was finally able to resolve this issue. I went to LaCie's site and went to the support area to find troubleshooting steps for my particular drive. It turns out that the problem was corrected when I swapped the power supply cord of the "troubled" drive with another LaCie drive that I have and that seemed to resolve the problem. Thank you Tony for your help. I appreciate you guys!
    Thanks,

  • My macbook pro no longer detects my camera.

    My macbook pro no longer detects my camera.
    After downloading thousands of photos, my mac no longer sees my camera.  Nothing has changed.  I have tried restarting the mac, using fresh batteries, different usb ports. When I try to download photos, iphoto opens up on it’s own, but my camera does not show up.  Neither does it show up in any finder window, or under disk utilities.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Try Reset SMC.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • My macbook pro no longer connects automatically to my wi-fi network

    Does anyone know why or how to fix the fact that my macbook pro no longer automatically connects to my wi-fi network?

    Delete all the preferred WiFi networks, and try making the current one the preferred network in your Airport Utility setup.

    My app store on my macbook pro no longer shows that i purchased mountain lion. So when I am trying to do a reinstall it is not letting me put mountain lion, without re-purchasing it

    Pardon the question, but you are checking the mac app store > Purchases (not iTunes or iTunes store or the app store for iDevices)? Have you tried holding the Option key while clicking on Purchases (shows hidden purchases).

  • Why is the MacBook Pro no longer available in a 17" screen?

    Why is the MacBook Pro no longer available in a 17" screen?

    No one here knows why Apple decided to discontinue the 17" screen.  This is a user to user community.  Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of this website.  Write a letter to Apple & ask them.  If they respond please post it. 

  • How set up  macbook  pro Internet router?

    how set up  macbook  pro Internet router?

    But isn't the MacBook Pro connected to the modem and being used as the router? You can only share an Ethernet connection wirelessly. You only check the box to share the Ethernet connection to Wi-Fi. Do not check any of the other boxes. You select Ethernet from the dropdown menu as the connection you will share. Your preferences should look like this:
    The only difference will be that yours will show just Ethernet, not Ethernet 1.

  • I made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed m icrosoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates? does hot fix of microsoft helps in stop freezing?

    i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed m icrosoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates? does hot fix of microsoft i.e, " support.microsoft.com/kb/979491" helps in stop freezing in dual boot mechanism?

    Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
    "Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
    The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
    If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

  • Macbook pro now says itunes not supported on this type of Mac.  only change has been addition of Apple TV. how to fix?

    My older macbook pro now says itunes not supported "on this type of Mac".  Only change has been addition of Apple TV. The Apple TV remote is also controlling the Macbook.  Is this the problem?  How to fix?

    Did you recently update OS X? The icon indicates you have a version of iTunes that is not compatible with the version of OS X you now have installed. The current version is Apple iTunes 11.0.2, and it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • Did MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) support memory: 8GB 1333MHz DDR3

    Did MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) support memory: 8GB 1333MHz DDR3??

    The correct RAM specifications for your 2010 MBP are:  204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    What you quote may or may not work, and if it does seem to work, it may not work correctly.  For one to deviate from the correct specifications often leads to unnecessary complications.  One only has to explore many posts on this subject on this forum.
    Best places to get RAM for your MBP are from OWC or Crucial.
    Note, I have a 2010 MBP and I have made said upgrade.
    Ciao.

  • Does MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8 support hp 3520 printer?

    Does MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8 support the HP 3520 printer?  If not, is there a way to correct this problem?

    Hi,
    The list mentioned above do not refer to Leopard but only intended for Snow Leopard or above.
    Drivers for your printer are already included in Leopard as you may find stated below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-95165-6 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=228&product=4075472&sw_lang=
    Regardless, although there is no official support for OS X 10.6 or newer versions there are still several 3rd party solution as Gutenprint or HPIJS printer drivers which shouls allow using the printer on Snow Leopard as well.
