Default Mac Dictionary Missing

hey guys i need some help. i just started using the macbook.
my default mac dictionary does not want to open up. i tried opening it up on my desktop but it displayed a question mark.
Also i have been searching for it on my laptop applications and everywhere but i can't find it. please what can i do??? sadly i never even backed up my files too.

thank you for your fast response.
i tried doing what you advised me to do but with no luck.
the only thing i see on the laptop is under the 'library folder', the 'dictionary' folder and then 'apple dictionary'. i do not see any icons or anything that can launch the application again.

  • Safari on Windows. How does one change default spelling dictionary?

    How does one change the default spelling dictionary for Safari on Windows? For the Mac, it changes in response to the default locale, but on Windows, it just sets to American English and you cannot change it anywhere I can see. All my locale information in Windows is set to UK English.
    In fact on some websites, like this one, the spelling checker seems to be disabled! I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, BTW, running Safari 5.1.7

    I think I just found the answer (though I don't know why the interface is buried this way). Find a word that the American spell check is flagging, right click on it, select Spelling and Grammar, and then select Show Spelling and Grammar. Make sure that the language listed at the bottom says British English (not my choice of what to call it, so please don't blame the messenger).

    why is the 'mac pro' missing from the mac store?
    I always enjoyed speccing up machines that i will one day upgrade to.

    ooh! i am my third mac pro and i love them, in my opinion it is still the best looking case (inside and out) on the market . Fingers crossed they can come up with something better.

  • Default parameters are missing in the cloned EUL

    we have discoverer up and running perfectly on our existing instance - SIGMA
    now we have a new instance - ALPHA,
    we cloned the whole EUL from old instance(SIGMA),
    IN ALPHA every thing is working fine, we have all the BA,folders and all the workbooks seem to work fine, but we have a issue with the default parameters.
    the default parameters are missing from the workbooks, now this has become an big issue, because we have hundreds of reports and user want need them all with the default parameters
    could somebody please help me on this issue
    few questions:
    when cloned does the default parameters get erased??
    Does the default parameters entered in the workbook get saved anywhere in the EUL_Tables??
    Could you please give me a best approach to bring in thoese default parameters??
    any thoughts are highly appreciated
    note: i can edit the worksheet and enter the default parameter and save the worksheet but we have got some hundreds of workbooks

    Hi,
    when cloned does the default parameters get erased??I would be surprised if the default parameters are erased. More likely is that they are not being used because the default value is not valid anymore or because Discoverer is trying to use the last parameter value. Check the value of the SaveLastUsedParamValue preference setting. Is this the same on Desktop, viewer and Plus?
    Does the default parameters entered in the workbook get saved anywhere in the EUL_Tables??The default parameters will be save along with the workbook in the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table. The field is of type LONG RAW so you won't easily be able to see this field. You can use the workbook dump utility to check whether there are default parameters actually set up in the workbook.
    Could you please give me a best approach to bring in thoese default parameters??You could try exporting and importing the workbooks into the new environment to see whether this fixes the issue.

  • Pages spell check and Mac dictionary

    I find it annoying that Pages' spell-check is not synchronized with Mac Dictionary/Thesaurus. There are words I type that are shown as misspelled, but exist in the Dictionary program. Why not sync the two? It's annoying how many legitimate words Pages thinks are misspelled.

    bk,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I completely agree. OS X's dictionary and thesaurus are excellent, and it would be nice to have them integrated into Pages spell-check and learned words functions.
    Please leave feedback for the Pages team.

  • JPS-01514: The default context is missing in jps-config.xml.

    when we will get the below erros what is missing
    weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: The dynamic loading of the OPSS java security policy provider class oracle.security.jps.internal.policystore.JavaPolicyProvider failed due to problem inside OPSS java security policy provider.
    JPS-01514: The default context is missing in jps-config.xml.
    Caused By: oracle.security.jps.service.credstore.CredStoreException: JPS-01050: Opening of wallet based credential store failed. Reason java.io.IOException: PKI-02002: Unable to open the wallet. Check password

    Check the jps-config.xml file. This has the configuration for security services. Seems like the default context is missing. The default context is essential for connecting to the policy store. If not, you can use a named context to connect to the policy store/idstore etc.

  • "On My Mac" folders missing after Time Machine Restore

    Restored Mail from Time Machine but all the "On My Mac" folders missing??? The folders just do not appear to be on the Time Machine. Are they stored somewhere else than the Smart Folders and E Mail folders?

    On line recovery after Erase as I wanted to clear all the accumulated junk from my full HDD. I did a backup on my Time Machine first but wanted to just restore the needed items and not all the accumulated junk so I rejected the full restore from Time Machine option during the restore process. Now I cannot access Time Machine in the normal way all the backups before today are not accessible.
    With Apple Support help I managed to access the backup files on the time machine but we have been unable to find the On My Mac mailbox and all the folders it contains. They said they would call me back with a solution but nothing so far.
    Thanks for your help

  • Mac Dictionary is not working

    Mac Dictionary is not working.  I get the error "You can't use this version of the application Dictionary with this version of Mac OS X." 
    I have Dictionary 2.0.2 and  OS X version 10.6.8  -- What do I need to do?
    Thanks!

    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.Dictionary.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Try opening the Dictionary app. If you don't see that dialog, move that .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If that didn't help, see if there's any software updates available. Click your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update...

  • VMM 2012 R2 - Default MAC Address Pools

    We have two VMM servers at different sites but on the same network subnet.
    Having deployed virtual machines from both VMM servers we have experienced a number of instances where the same MAC address has been allocated to more than one virtual machine (same MAC allocated by each VMM Server).
    Consequently, I would like to split the current Default MAC Address Pool range and allocate half to each VMM server.
    The documentation suggests that the current "Default MAX Address Pool(s)" should be deleted before the new custom pools are created.
    We have already deployed a large number of virtual machines from each VMM server.
    Does the deletion of the "Default MAC Address Pool(s)" have any impact on the existing virtual machines with MAC addresses assigned from the default pools?
    Will the virtual machines retain there existing MAC addresses or will they be re-allocated new MACs?

    Does the deletion of the "Default MAC Address Pool(s)" have any impact on the existing virtual
    machines with MAC addresses assigned from the default pools?
    Kind of, you cant delete the "Default MAC Address Pool" while VM's have allocated MAC's.
    You can revoke MAC's using the "Revoke-SCMACAddress" cmdlet
    Will the virtual machines retain there existing MAC addresses or will they be re-allocated new
    MACs?
    I would probably choose to first give the VMs MAC addresses from the new pool, then delete
    the default pool.
    You will need to grant your VMs with new MAC addresses using the Grant-SCMACAddress
    cmdlet.

  • Default Boot Device Missing after opening up Yoga

    I had to open up my Yoga 13 to replace the yellow power plug. After I put it back together I immediately get the following error message:
    Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed
    Insert Recovery Media and Hit any key
    Then Select Boot Manager to choose a new Boot Device or to Boot Recovery Media
    I assume that I somehow managed to unplug the power or connection to the SSD but I cant find any lose cables.
    Please advice. Thank you.

    When I click on F2 and look in the setup it says that no hard drives are detected, but I got two SSDs in the system.

  • Help! Default user dictionary files required

    Dear all,
    I am having problem deleting thousands of custom dictionary entry manually from IPAD2. I asked for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3465741 but the problem remains.
    Therefore, I am thinking of copying default suer dictionary files to overwrite those on my IPAD. These files are:
    UserDictionary.sqlite
    WordKeyPairs.plist
    If any kind soul out there has access to these files and can send me a copy to save me from restoring the entire IPAD to factory default, I will be greatly indebted.
    Thank you!

  • Why does the default Mac print dialog show up in Acrobat?

    Instead of the Acrobat print dialog:
    The Mac print dialog:
    shows up when I invoke the Print command.
    Is there a preference that needs to be reset? Sometimes quitting and restarting Acrobat fixes the problem, but I've had computers that have never shown the Adobe print dialog, only the Mac dialog.

    according to your illustrations you have two different Printers setup.
    Unfortunately, in Acrobat 9 the Page setup Dialog does not function  it shows any printer.  I've explained here.

    IF this is Acrobat 9 - I have sent back bug reports, I've posted in Fedback forum (not discussion Forum) about this as well.  I have yet to see an answer to the problem. What you need to do is on the 2nd one that has the different dialog is set that to the same printer as in the first.
    IF page setup does work in your version of Acrobat make sure that while in acrobat choose correct printer then in page attributes click and choose save as default. That way acrobat will always default to this setup to start with when opening Acrobat.
    Another thing you can try is if you have removed a printer and added a new printer go to Printer Utility, and remove the old printer. If you have added a printer make the new printer the default Printer.
