I have changed my region a few times since we have a multi-region dvd player I have brought some US dvd's when I have been over there. It says this will be the last time I can change it so I want to set it back to Region 2 (our native region). However when I click to set the region I get this error:

There was a problem changing the drive region code.
Error: -70001

Anyone know a way I can change the region back to 2?

You need to have a disk from the region you want to set the drive to in the drive at the time that you are trying to set the region.

Yeah I have, and when I try to set it to region 2 I get that error.
 
Anyone? It's really starting to annoy me now :( I don't want to format my Mac just to get it working.
 
Same Problem

I am having the same problem, except I haven't changed mine before. It is set to Region 6, which is China and I want to set it to Region 1, US & Canada. I only planned to change mine once since every DVD I own seems to be Universal or Region 1.

If anyone knows what the problem is... please help.

I have my DVD in the drive but still get Error 70001

:confused:
