Built-in Dictionaries Lost in iOS 7

After I updated my iPad to iOS 7, one thing that has constantly annoyed me so much is that I can't save all the built-in dictionaries to my iPad.
I managed to retrieve two EN-EN dictionaries but, as for Chinese-English and English-Chinese dictionaries, I have to redownload them every time I open up an app. Moreover, if the iPad is left to lie idle for, say, 3 minutes at least, the built-in dictionaries I downloaded when opening up the app will definitely disappear!
I would really appreciate it if someone can crack this mystery for me.
Thanks in advance.

Many people have reported this, so I think it is a bug that needs fixing by Apple.  Let them know via

  • Some built-in dictionaries not working after upgrading to iOS 8

    I've have just upgraded to iOS 8 on my iPad. After upgrading, I discovered that some of the built-in dictionaries that I have been using previously are not working. These are:
    German
    Japanese-English
    Simplified Chinese
    Simplified Chinese-English
    In the dialog window that appeared when I tapped on the "Manage" button, the icons besides these dictionaries show a "circle" instead of the "cloud (with download arrow". There was no response when I tapped on each of the circle icon.
    Would greatly any kind advice.
    Thank you.

    I Too have an iPad mini, dictionary works for me, using wifi.  However, it uses an American dictionary, which is frustrating...I'm in Australia and many words have different meanings in differnt countries gggrrrrrr

    I can find no app on my Mac for accessing or activating any of these dictionaries, not even as Services. I especially wish to open the New Oxford American Dictionary. Instead, I have been using the WordBook app, which suffices, but I would like to know how to access or open all these built-in dictionaries, too.
    If you know what to do, please let me know. Thanks!

    Unless your install is botched and it has somehow gone missing, you should find Dictionary.app in Finder > Go > Applications, and you select which dictionaries to activate in its Preferences.  The standard way to look up word is by Control clicking on a word and selecting Look Up xxxxx.
    Let us know if this does not work for you. 

  • I have an Iphone 3GS (3000) that lost the IOS down to 3.1. PLEASE HELP!

    I have an older Iphone 3GS (Iphone 3000 when I sync) that I lost the IOS a while back when I brought it to a store to get reset.  I need to the phone and I can't update the phone past IOS 3.1. It used to have IOS 4 or 5 something before the phone was reset by a store to clear all the data.  I have taken it to many distributers who "can get it back to normal" but they all have the same problems and can't update the phone past 3.1 anymore, furthermore every time I take the phone in to get it fixed I loose all my data and apps that did work and when I reload again - even less works with the phone.  I used to have a cool phone; I now have a brick that runs less and less and I can't even get the phone to work with my cell carrier anymore. 
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

  • The built in dictionaries I had downloaded before won't load after the ios8 update.

    When I had tried to define a word through the built in dictionaries on my iPad, nothing appeared as a definition. I went to the manage option to see if I needed to download the dictionaries again, but the dictionaries that I've already installed had these circles on the right that refused to fill up... i.e. They wouldn't load. I've tried downloading the other dictionaries I hadn't downloaded before to see if it was the overall downloading proble but nope, those download hella fine so... Help??????

    They'll be more updates. Try the rese belowt and if that doesn't work be sure to leave feedback to Apple.
    Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

    After iOS 8 update on iPhone 5C some album art lost - now running 8.0.2 still same issue- all music from iTunes Store.

    You are not alone:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Music lost after IOS 8 update

    I have & iphone 5 & backed it up to my PC before updating to IOS 8. Now I have lost most of my music & audio books & can't restore to an earlier backup as they have all gone after the update was done. Also most music & books purchased in Itunes has also gone so it is like I never purchased them. What do I do now? Can I go back to IOS 7 by wiping my phone as I have a laptop with backups (and all my music and audiobooks) on it? All backups also went when my manager upgraded his iphone 5 to IOS 8 on a separate PC.

    Music and other media are not part of the backup at all. You can re-sync media from the iTunes library on your computer. Music purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded at no charge. Audio books will need to be re-purchased if you did not back them up.
    You can not downgrade to an earlier version of iOS and even if you could, it wouldn't change anything.

  • In-Built Call recording Facility In iOS 9 update

    Hello,
    It will be very helpful if iOS 9 update can add a in-built call recording facility for iphones.

    Sorry, but this is a user to user forum and Apple can't be reached by posting here. Tell Apple about your wishes by using this link:
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    Also, recording phone calls without notifying the caller is not legal in most of the countries.

  • Recover apps lost in iOS 5 update

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5.01.  In the process, I lost several applications that I had previously purchased and installed on the iPad.  Is there a way to recover these apps, all purchased from the apple apps store? I have a feeling that the iPad was restored from an earlier backup on iTunes.

    Connect your iPad via USB and open iTunes on your computer.  When the iPad is listed on the left side of the page, click on it once and it will open in iTunes.  You'll see Apps on the upper right hand side.  Click on Apps and all the Apps you have purchased in iTunes will be listed.  You can choose to sync all apps, or you can choose to sync selected apps.  If you choose sync selected apps, just put a check mark in the apps you want on your iPad.  Once you've made your selections, choose apply in the lower fiths hand corner, then sync.  The apps will be on your iPad.

  • HT4623 ive lost all ios on my ipod touch ,, i cant  download any games etc   . how can i install software  needed

    my ipod touch is 4 years old ,, somehow ive lost the ability to download games etc , it says app incompatible ,, how can i load the correct software ?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • How do I recover apps lost during ios update?

    I just updated Ipad to ios 5 successfully but I lost a bunch of apps. What happened? How do I recover them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.
