How do I get a better dictionary to come up when I look up words?

On my iPhone 4 when I look up a word it only shows a bare minimum definition. Is there a way to get it to look up a more thorough defintion? Is there some app that will link the look up to a better dictioary?
Thanks

No.
I read books that I borrow from the library. The library told me to get an app called OverDrive that I read the books on. As I was fiddling with it just now I see it's better than I thought - it links directly to Wikipeadia with one click so that's not bad.
I use the notes app that came with the phone a lot and just for the heck of it I looked up a word on a note I'd written. The dictionary that comes up from that app is totally different than the dictionary that comes up from the OverDrive app.
I gues different apps access different dictionaries.

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

How do I get just my icon to come up when I log in?

I bought this macbook pro used. It is running on lion. I wanted to change my user name so I made a new user and deleted the old one. Now when I log in, it shows my user and guest. I just want it to show mine so all I need to do is type the password and click return. How do I get rid of the guest user? Here is the problem. It isn't a normal guest user that can get onto the desktop. It is one that logs directly onto safari. It is a web user. When I go to system preferences, it says that the guest user is disabled. Is there any way to get rid of the icon when I get to the log in screen?

It is a very valuable "Find My Mac" security feature.
It is not wise to remove it.

How do I get the DVD menu to come on when the disc is inserted.

Each time I've burned a DVD with iDVD, instead of the menu coming up when the disc is inserted in the DVD player, the movie begins playing automatically. It should bring up the menu first. I have the chapter marker set at the beginning of the movie and when you go to the menu and select the start button it will go to the start of the movie. Am I missing something? How do I get it so that the movie does not start playing automatically?

Hi
Am I missing something?
Yes
I guess that You don't
• Share to Media Browser and as Large or Medium (or just save project - in old iMovie HD6)
- But Share to iDVD - I never do this
• Make's a One Step DVD or a Magical DVD - I never do - I select the top one options.
as these ways will end up Your Movie in the Auto-Start box in iDVD (turn on box-view under the Menu window)
• Move it from here to the next box to the Right
THEN
File to Save as a DiskImage - and test this to play OK (DVD-Player tool)
then burn this via Disk Util tool
And this Disk should start with Menu and let You select Movie or Sceen Selection.

If they click it, they may only get my menubar, or a page, such as my calendar page without a menubar or topbar. How can I make it so when they click the link my entire site comes up. even if the search they did just lists one of my pages? Help... Thanks

Are you using FRAMES?
If not, you need to post a link to your site.

How do i get the ipod icon to come up when itunes wont recognise it?

this has been happening repeatedly to me over the last 5 months since i first bought my ipod.. i thought it was something i was doing wrong but at this stage its taking the ****. whenever i try to put on a couple of albums onto it, itunes will freeze and perhaps shut its self down; the screen of the ipod will show that it is still connected to the computer and i either cannot, or i do not know how to eject the ipod in order to connect it again, as when i open up itunes again there is no icon for it and no matter what i do, nothing will bring up the icon for my ipod.
as i know too well if i disconnect my ipod all of my stuff will be deleted and as of this second i'm stuck in the dilemma of whether to disconnect it or not.. is there anything i can do? at this stage its becoming a bit soul destroying as i dont have all of my music on my itunes library.... pleeeeeeassse help... i'm using a pc by the way

How do u get the company name to come up when someone calls you?

I've recently got the iPhone and have many of my work contacts in with first name only and then company name. All that displays when a call comes in is their first name and not the company name which is really frustrating... Does anyone know an app or setting to display company name when a call comes in? Cheers

Third-party apps can't affect things like that, so you'd need to send a feature request to Apple:
http://apple.com/feedback
on the Mac, in Address Book, there is a "Company" box I can check, and so I do have some company names showing up as the key info in contacts and on the call screen. But mostly I don't also have personal names for those numbers, so I don't know if even that works as you want--I suspect it would not show the personal name in such a case. And I can't find any equivalent of that box in the iPhone Contacts.

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5???

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5?? I was prefectly happy with my iPod until I got the notice to upgrade itunes to 11.1 and would you like to upgrade your iPod from IOS 6 to IOS 7. And like an idiot I took the little green pill and pushed the button. Now I can't open iTunes, some apps; like the Lindsey Sterling app, Safari and Disney don't work either (not that I care about the Disney one, but, it's part of the base setup, you'd think "IT" would work!) almost anything with video links will not open, iCloud can't find me. All I get is that annoying white screen. I'M NOT HAPPY! I could have bought a Windows machine for a lot less money and have the same problems!?! (I'll bet Mr. Jobs is spinning like a top right now!) And I have goggled-- found a few fixes: re-install, restore, etc. found one that stated to get iTunes back to go into the iPods setting by double ckicking the home button go to iTunes app and sign out, then sign in again-- those options didn't work.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

hi i am using mac os x 10.5.8 but this os is not supporting few software updates.so how can i get a better version of os?,,this os not supporting google chrome and i tunes 7..

The next Mac OS version os 10.6.
Below is a link to some details how you can obtain that for your Mac.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4368218
After you upgrade to 10.6 and update to 10.6.8 you can buy version 10.8 online at the Mac App Store.
That will provide the basis for any of the latest software you now want.

I have iWork on my new MacBookPro and it works fine. But I had the Beta iWorks in iCloud on my older desktop. How do I get the Beta iWorks off my iCloud because it is different (and better) when I use it on my MacBookPro?

No, they are different apps. The beta one in icloud is for use by PC's as well as Mac's via a web browser and lets users collaborate on documents. It can't removed. Just ignore it if you have no use for it.

HT4623 How do I get a better pictures there all blurred

How do I get a better picture quality very blurred ATM

The camera on the iPad 2 is mediocre at best. Brightly lit or outside work best
If you take photos in low light they'll be blurry or grainy just because the camera quality is very low.

How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
Normally the Radio only has a line in socket to allow sound
You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but you have to control the iPhone for music selection
The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted radio
and designed to manage the S/Wheel controls and translate to the iPhone .
Fitted into back of radio etc etc
If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP
