How to make Dictionary results show up at the top in Spotlight?

Hi, I used to use Dictionary a lot when writing papers. However, since upgrading from Leopard to Lion Spotlight has been showing results differently. Is there a way to change how Spotlights shows search results so that I can get my "Thesaurus-fix" from Dictionary first again.. For "chair" it shows Top hit, documents, pdf documents, music, and then ... "Look Up", which I want FIRST! :-)
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

I tried looking in preferences, but "Look Up" /Dictionary is not a selectable option. Thanks
Basically this problem: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/71312/is-it-possible-to-make-look-up-ap pear-higher-in-spotlight

  • How to make plug ins show up in the filter menu, several Topaz plug ins are in the 13 plug in folder?

    How to make plug ins show up in the filter drop down menu, when several Topaz plug ins have been moved from Elements 11 to the plug in folder for Elements 13?

    Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

  • How to make today's date be at the top of the page?

    In month view, how can I make today's date appear at the top of the page? When it is late in the month, I don't need to see a month of past events--I need to see what is coming up.

    I have a report in which the data from a repeating frame frequently spans several pages and I want to put a notation at the top of each new page that says "xxx continued...".
    Assume the repeating frame rows for employee John which span all of page 1 and half of page 2. Then, rows for employee Sue are produced, continuing through the rest of page 2 and all of page 3. A third employee, Ted, STARTs on page 4.
    At the top of page 2 I would like to have the notation "John continued...". Similarly, at the top of page 3, I'd like "Sue continued....".
    The kicker is the condition where a new employee, STARTs at the top of page, like Ted, above. In that case, I do not want any message printed.
    I sure would appreciate any insights......Check this {thread:id=2503674}
    you will get idea.

  • How to make most recent messages appear at the top of the list?

    I can not find a place in Mail preferences to make my messages in each mailbox ALWAYS appear with the most recent at the top of the list. They seem to revert to the reverse order, even though I laboriously change the order in each mailbox via clicking the top of the date column. I am using primarily .Mac addresses in IMAP format, and three computers. It seems that after I shut down, then restart the next day and my computers all sycn with .Mac, the order goes back to oldest first. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    Everytime i have used webmail, the view is always retained with my previous settings. In fact the .Mac web mail help menu says the same thing (see below)
    Therefore the last thing i would recommend is to simply reset safari (which will empty the cache), delete all your Mail plist files, and not turn .Mac sync on fully until all systems are sorting consistently on their own....
    (from the .mac help menu)
    ===================
    Sorting message lists
    When you use .Mac Mail on the web, you can sort your messages, drafts, and sent messages lists by their column headers. Sorting is helpful when you want to quickly locate specific emails or groups of emails, such as all messages received from a specific sender or all flagged messages.
    To sort a message list:
    If you're not already in .Mac Mail on the web, go to www.mac.com and click Mail (at the top of the page), and log in.
    Access a message list by opening a folder.
    Click any column header to sort the list by that parameter. Clicking the same column header again reverses the order in which the list is sorted.
    When you sort a message list, all email messages in the list are sorted, not just those showing on the current page.
    Column headers vary slightly by list. The Drafts list, for example, has no From column.
    After you have sorted a list, it retains that order until you re-sort it.

  • How to make your folder list appear at the top when opening a finder window

    Sorry if this has been asked before but couldn't find it in the threads... About the only thing I miss from Windows, is the way file mgr displays list in folders, i.e. starting with folders, then listing the files.
    Any way we can do this in Leopard?? The closest I get is by displaying content in list, then sort by type, but obviously my Adobe documents are listed before my folders... I'd really love to get my folders on top.
    Thanks for the help!
    Jean-Francois.

    FYI, I found this trick posted at another board:
    Sorting by kind with folders at the top can be done in Leopard with a little hacking:
    OBLIGATORY WARNING:
    If you're not comfortable with this, don't do it!
    With that out of the way:
    - navigate to: /System/Library/CoreServices/
    - right-click Finder.app and select Show package contents...
    - navigate to: Contents>Resources>English.lproj
    - backup InfoPlist.strings
    - open the original InfoPlist.strings in a text editor
    - locate the line that says:
    Code:
    "Folder" = "Folder";
    - add a space at the start of the second "Folder":
    Code:
    "Folder" = " Folder";
    - save the file
    - reboot or relaunch Finder
    The space in front of "Folder" forces folders to the top of the list when sorting alphabetically by kind.

  • How to make emails not show up in the inbox?

    I am getting A LOT of emails (automaticly) from a forum thread that im getting updates from, and its totally spamming my inbox.
    Is it possible to automatically redirect those emails from the specific sender FROM the inbox and into a separate inbox/folder?

    actually the best would be to indeed change some settings on the forum but if you can't you can swipe to the left on the email, tap More and  mark it is an advertisement.

  • How to make new item show in ASCP Plan workbench.

    Item ATT.BVL3AHY is a new item without any demand. At item master, it is set as Planned so it is collected by ASCP. The item can be found in msc.msc_system_items with Plan_id -1. Plan id -1 corresponds to Collection. Planner needs to manuallty add planned order for this item at ASCP workbench of plan WIRELINE (PLAN_ID 3002) as attached but as the item cannot be found in WIRELINE plan, planner cannot add it. Please let me know how to make this item show in WIRELINE Plan workbench.

    Run this query:
    select mrp_planning_code from msc_system_items where item_name like '<Item_Name>' and organization_id = <Org id> and plan_id = -1
    If this returns 7 you dont need to run any collections.
    If this returns other than 7 then,
    create a simulation set under Item Attributes Mass Maintenance and then update the attribute MRP Planning method for this item to MRP/MPP Planning. Assign Simulation set to plan name and then rerun the plan. It should work.
    If you are still facing an issue, then raise an SR with Oracle.

  • How to have a field show twice in the alv?

    hi,
        there are two questions about alv (OO).
       1. i want to make a field show twice in the ALV,. For example, value of first column is 'A', and now 'A' should also show in the fifth column. which method should i use? or other solutions?
    2. i have known two fields, and they are field 'A' and field 'Bbbb', how to have them show in the same column such as 'A Bbbb'
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Daniel,
    There's no direct way to do this. however, it is technically possible to meet your requirement.
    1. The internal table should also contain another field for the 5th column. There should also be a corresponding entry in the field-catalog. Before calling the ALV Grid, the values for this field should be populated with the same values as the values in the 1st field.
    2. Again, the internal table should contain the corresponding field and the field catalog should have it as well. Before calling the ALV Grid, concatenate the values into this field and display them.
    I hope this helps. If not, please get back and we should be glad to help you.
    Regards,
    Anand Mandalika.

    I redeemed a gift card, the amount shows up in the top right corner of my account but when I try to purchase music it goes to the account that I have loaded previously. How do I use the gift card?

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

  • How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

    In 10g, we can make a physical standby database in the read_only state. But in 11g, no a read_only state for a physical standby database. How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

    Hi
    read-only mode (for 11g physical standby)
    A mode in which a database can be opened that allows queries, but disallows modifications.
    A physical standby database can be opened read-only so that queries may be performed. If a license for the Oracle Active Data Guard option has been purchased, a physical satndby database can be open while redo apply is active. This capability is known as Real-time Query.

    How to Set JFilechooser to show file with the same extension in the filetypes??
    help

    I also don't understand, but if you mean how to display only files with a certain extension in your JFileChooser then you should have a look at the JFileChooser API:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JFileChooser.html
    The introduction shows an example of how to do that.
