SuperDrive DVD region not changing despite having one change left.

My DVD superdrive won't change back to 'Region 2' after watching a 'Region 1' DVD. When I insert the 'Region 2' disc the pop up menu comes up asking if I want to change the region to match the disc. It says that this is the last time I can change the region but when I click the option to change it nothing happens and eventually the SuperDrive winds down.
Mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro - Mountain Lion (10.8).

I don't think so because when I inserted the Region 1 disc it said I had two changes left. So that's one change to change from R2 to R1 then the last change to change back to R2. It quite clearly states in the image above that I have one last attempt.

Iphone 4s internet connection not working despite having 3g when away from wifi

It works fine with wifi but when I leave the house and go out and about I can no longer connect to the internet despite having a 3g connection everywhere I go. I'm supposed to have internet connection on my contract.
My dad says its something to do with the APN but neither of us have any idea how to change it?
Please help

first try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up, then try the going on safari.
if that doesn't work then give your phone carrier a call and see if they can resolve the issue.

DVD Drive not working, even new one

Hi! I have a PB G4 1.5 Ghz, Mac OSX 10.4.11, 4 years old piece (perhaps a little more). Everything has been fine until recetly my DVD Drive just refused to work. Doesnt read/write etc. Funny since I wrote a DVD, when I inserted teh next one, it stopped working. I tried all efforts mentioned at Apple support, then considered the drive dead.
I bought a new external LaCie DVD Burner. But after a coupel of weeks, that too has stopped working. I am wondering if there is something corrupted in the OS that prevents DVD drives from fucntioning properly. Anyone c an throw light on this one?

hello... any advice anyone?

Hey guys,
I am trying to set the region on my internal DVD drive to region one because for some reason it wasnt set from the factory. But every time I try to set it, it gives me an error.

Error: -70001"
Anyone have any idea how to get this to set?
Thanks guys.

I have Real Player Plus and with it you are ment to be able to download videos with it from any site bit the download video icon does not appear despite having everything enabled what's going on?

I have got Real Player Plus and one of the features of it is being able to download any video.
Now to do that you mouse on thevideo and a download icon appears on the top right of the video.
Recently it has stopped working. I have all my Real Player plug-ins enabled and the feature enabled on Real Player Plus to recognise FX 3.6.17 but it doesn't work. Whats going on? I am having to use Internet Explorer to use that feature of Real Player.

Noticed some of the comments about the new Verizon tv guide. I concur with the crowd indicating displeasure with the guide. Lots of wasted space on the left side, top and bottom of the new guide. The original guide presented more channels and more times with each screen display. The original guide was quite useful for me, and functioned perfectly fine. I would like the opportunity to choose between the two guides. Change isn't always a good thing.

Why is the finished DVD so low quality despite having chosen best quality for Pal. Compared to Pro Show Gold its rubbish !

Superdrive dvd will not play

I insert a dvd into my USB superdrive (attached to my iMac) and I can hear some mechanical things taking place then the dvd is ejected.
the last thing I was doing was running a dvd writing program on a Windows VM with some Clone DVD software writing to disk. I left the machine to run on its own and when I returned the next morning I saw that the write had failed. My iMac was running very slowly. Initially my super drive would not accept any disks but after reboot the problem "disappeared".
Now none of my DVDs will play.

Disconnect the drive, reset the SMC and PRAM reconnect and see if it helps.

DVD Region

Hello again,
Its just been a week now for me and I have already fallen in love with my MAC.
I have a question though about this DVD Region. Everytime I insert a DVD into my MAC, I get a pop asking me to change the region. I tried searching in this forum and found couple of discussions regarding this. I learnt that the DVD region can be changed for a max of 5 no. of times. *But what after that ?*
Can someone please explain what would be the problems if it the DVD region is changed for 5 times. I would be disappointed if it wont allow me to watch DVDs in my MAC.
Thanks & Still Learning,
Himanshu.

Try playing DVDs with VLC

With many Macs, it will play DVDs even if their region code doesn't match that of the drive, so you don;t have to change the region code.

My disk drive says that it has one change of region left, as it should do, however my dvd player software will not change it back and does not respond, how can i solve this problem?

Basically, everytime i try to runa DVD it comes up with the select disc drive region option. I select the region of europe over north america and press change and then the dvd application doesn't respond. Is there anything i can do to solve this without going to see Apple.
Any information would be useful, thank you.

Superdrive Is not changing region

I bought the Apple Superdrive. I allrady changed region 5 times and now I cant see any Movies .
So is there a way of me seeing movies that are other regions without having to change the Superdrive Region?

First try VLC.
<http://videolan.org>
For some brands of drives, it will play a DVD even if the DVD's region does not match the drive's.
If VLC doesn't help, you could buy another Apple Superdrive and switch drives when you need to play a DVD from a different region.

Can't change my dvd region back, one change left?

I changed my dvd region to region 1 the other night with the intention of changing it straight back to 4 after watching something, however now it won't let me! It said I had 2 changes left so I didn't stress and made the region change and now it proceeds to say I am on my last change, however whenever I click the "change dvd region" button it simply disappears and ejects my dvd. When I insert it again it comes up with the same message instructing me that it is my last change and it's still on 1.
I obviously wouldn't have changed the region in the first place had it said it was my last change but I figured I could just change it back permanently after my last switch! I know you can only change 5 times but I trusted that it said I had 2 left. I downloaded VLC but that doesn't play either. What can I do about this?

I don't know what the problem is with one change left, but this might point you in the right direction.

I can not change the region of DVD for region 4 (Brazil)

I can not change the region of DVD for region 4 (Brazil) what do I do? Help me. The drive is a MAT**bleep**A BD-CMB UJ141ES notebook and is a satellite Toshiba M645.

You might try AnyDVD. It's not a free solution, but might provide you a way around the region restricions.
There are other software solutions, you might start by reading or searching at the doom9.org forums.

How do I change from having a credit card to not having one on my iTunes?

How do I change from having a credit card to not having one on iTunes? It's not giving me the option

The "none" option will not be available if you owe a balance on your iTunes Store account, and may not be available even then.
If you are certain you don't owe Apple anything then contact iTunes Store Support and ask them the reason.
