HT2693 Why is my Oxford English Dictionary app is not properly registered in my iStore account?

ODE won't update. Why is my Oxford English Dictionary app is not properly registered in my iStore account? I purchased it and updated it at least once before. Now, when I select the app it flashes an "Update Now - OK" request/message.  However, it does not update when I select OK. Any suggestions ?

@Winston Churchill. That would be simple enough as he spent the night here with my son and very likely went online with Firefox. Advantages and disadvantages of that one.
What makes this even more interesting is that I let my son use my iPhone  for several months. I discovered that he registered my iPhone on his account and using my name. My iPhone does still show up on his/my (?) account. The iPad does not Here's the schematic as it it was:

12 hours after theft:

I thought it might have been the 2 account/1 device problem but it's worked for awhile. So..
WHAT NEXT? (I did find the IMEI and IMEID in my backup in iTunes by the way-can't validate for some reason).

  • Chinese English dictionary.app

    Hi guys,
    Is there a way for me to have the builtin Chinese dictionary display definitions in English in addition to Chinese? It doesn't really make sense from language leaning perspective that an unfamiliar word is defined using the same language with other unfamiliar words, I wish apple allows us to choose the builtin dictionaries. Is there a way to edit the dictionary.app so that the Chinese dictionary carries English definitions as well?

  • Is there a New Oxford English Dictionary?

    Hello,
    My iMac came with a New Oxford American Dictionary and Oxford American Writers Thesaurus. Should an iMac purchased in the UK have the English versions?

    No, OS X is the same no matter where it is sold. Of course a new Mac will have OS X 10.5, which includes a Japanese dictionary and some other features, and also allows others to be added.

  • Why doesn't the new ipad apps system not work?

    When I saw the new system of updating apps in ios 7.0.3 I was delighted but unfortunately it doesn't work I left at least six apps to not update but unfortunately they all updated on their own last night. So what is the point of a manual update when Apple overrides it? Now I have to delete and reinstall. We need a way of removing apps from the update list before Apple overrides it.

    If you delete the apps and reinstall them directly from the App Store, you will be installing the updated apps that you just deleted.
    If you delete the apps on the iPad and still have the older versions in iTunes on your computer - you can sync them back to the iPad and that will work to retrieve the older versions.
    When you delete apps, you delete the data and documents associated with those apps.
    Settings>iTunes & App stores>Automatic downloads>Updates>Off. Is that how you have this set up in your settings. I set my iPad this way from day one and no apps have ever been updated without me initiating the update.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail app does not sync with the Office 365 account

    My company has recently switched to Office 365. Windows 8.1 Metro Mail app does not work with Office365 account. When I switch to IMAP it works but that is soon going to be disabled and is not compliant with the company policy.
    I can add the account and it also pushes the security policies but it does not sync email at all. Says account is not available. The tablet shows up on the mobile devices on the office 365 and I could also remote wipe it.
    It seems everything works except basing email sync. What could be the issue?

  • Why does my wife's calendar app ask for the password to my calendar account?

    My wife and I used to have iPhone 4's. We each have a Google calendar, and we had our calendar apps set up so that each iphone would show both calendars. We never had any trouble.
    Recently my wife and I switched to iPhone 5c's. Since then, whenever my wife tries to enter something into the calendar, the app asks for the password to my account. I don't have that problem on my phone. I'm pretty sure the phone apps are set up the same way. What gives?

    It is possible that those 2 calendars are syncing Google accounts and being shared.  My friend shares her calendar with me and it shows up in my calendar.

  • Dictionary App will not scroll or display scroll bars.

    This usually happens when I have Wikipedia search enabled because there is more text but not always.
    Scroll bars do not show. When I resize the window the scroll bars will sometimes show but I cannot scroll DOWN. Whatever type existed in the window at the original search remains and will not let me see the remaining text. Clicking on "A"/"a" changes font size but does not load the remaining type.
    when I search for "W. C. Fields" I have much more content to view but cannot.
    How can I get Dictionary to display working scroll bars?
    Is there a dictionary update available? What is the last version compatible with 10.5?
    This is what I have:
    *Dictionary Version 2.0.2 (51.4)*
    *© Copyright 2005-2007 Apple Inc., All rights reserved.*

    Known issue. Search these forums for *dictionary scrollbars* and read the gory details. Alternatively, see http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100525215150144

  • Shorter Oxford English Dictioanry 6th Edition CD-ROM

    For everyday purpose, I am pretty satisfied with Mac OS X's built-in Dictionary based on the New Oxford American Dictionary. It is up-to-date and has good coverage of colloquial North American English. But I am considering the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary 6th Edition on CD-ROM because I need a dictionary drawing more on literary and historical examples and giving more emphasis to serious written English than everyday spoken English.
    I am posting this message because I want to know in terms of layout, if the SOED on CD-ROM is as pleasing and easy to use as Mac OS X's Dictionary. Is it "Mac-like"? Well, anyway I just want to know if it is user-friendly and if it is better to have the 2-volume hardcover edition or the CD-ROM version.
    Thank you.

    The SOED for Mac was probably created using Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. If so, then it will be at least relatively nice to look at and to use. At one point (OS8 - Classic), I was using the full-blown OED on my machines (I don't know if they make a Mac version of the full OED anymore), and it was a little ugly and clunky, but a very fine resource, nevertheless.)
