I want the leopard version of dictionary and not the snow leopard one.

with leopard, the dictionary was a red book on the desktop. it was oxford english dictionary and had a couple of other sources available. then snow leopard replaced it with a senseless tool that requires precise spelling of the word before it will look for it. same thing when you use "spotlight." any third grader can see how useless that is.
if you go to Mac help and search for "dictionary" you can "open dictionary" at the bottom and the window comes up with the older version. however, i cannot figure out how to keep this on my desktop, in the dock, dashboard, widget bar....in short, anywhere. once you are done, you then have to go back into help, search and then do the whole thing over. i know i am missing something but even one of the support techs did not know how to help. he said to send feedback which i did. like that will have any impact. i hope someone knows more than tech support did. thanks

it was oxford english dictionary and had a couple of other sources available.
Please do Finder > Go > Applications. Do you not see Dictionary.app there? Double click on it to see what happens. It is the New Oxford American Dictionary 2nd Edition from 2005, exactly the same as was in Leopard. Besides Dictionary you should be able to access Thesaurus, Apple Dictionary, and Wikipedia. If you don't have this, your OS is botched and you need to reinstall this app.
To put any app in your dock you just drag its icon onto the dock.

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START > ALL PROGRAMS > Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
    START > CONTROL PANEL/ > Add n Remove Programs, highlight ASU and click CHANGE then REPAIR

  • How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    Who is the email account provider?
    With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
    I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

  • The original u201CBP_CONFIRMu201D is running and not the redefine one.

    Hi,
    In Component CRMCMP_BPIDENT,
    I have enhanced the custom controller CRMCMP_BPIDENT/CuCoBuPa
    and redefined the method u201CBP_CONFIRMu201D with my logic.
    But when I run the IC web client the original u201CBP_CONFIRMu201D is running and not the redefine one.
    Why ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Amit,
    We have not yet transported our Enhancement Set through the landscape, but I suspect you will need to maintain the assignment (BSPWDV_EHSET_ASG) in each system for the reason you give. 
    Your created Enhancement Set (BSPWDV_EHSET_DEF) will still transport through, then you will need to go into table maintenance for BSPWDV_EHSET_ASG once the set has been transported into your QAS system, and then assign it to your QAS clients.
    Many thanks,
    Andrew Griffin.

  • I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes.  I turned on and off.  I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you access the mail on another device?

  • If my mac runs on leopard os, and not te snow leopard os , does this mean i can't purchase the new lion os?

    if my mac runs on the leopard OS and not the snow leopard os, does this mean i can't purchase the new lion os?

    We probably don't know the whole story yet.
    The big announcement Steve Jobs made was, of course, a sales pitch with all the "gee whiz" stuff -- no nitty-gritty, gory details.
    Apple's "How to buy" post (http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/) clearly says "To upgrade on day one" -- no mention of day two, or twenty.
    It would be rather silly for Apple to take the position that, if you don't have broadband (for a 4 GB download), they don't want you as a customer.  So it's likely there will be an alternative for such folks, such as a DVD or USB stick, possibly for a nominal extra fee.  If so, that might also allow updating directly from Leopard.
    When the actual release date is announced, there should be more details.

  • TimeMachine to save ONLY the current version of Apps? Not the older ones...

    Hi everyone!
    I update my apps a lot, or I modify them (XSlimmer, Trimmit, Monolingual, etc...)...
    Therefore, I have TimeMachine that saves me all the old (and heavy) versions of all my apps.
    Ho can I get TimeMachine to save only the current (last) version of the apps stored on my internal HD?
    Thank you!

    No no no!
    I ment, I have the lastest versions of my apps on my internal HD, but TimeMachine (on an external HD, obviously) saves ALL the versions of them (the older and bulkier ones too, which take space for nothing)...
    I'd like to know if I can tell TimeMachine to save only the latest versions of the apps (and not the older ones...)
    Thanks

    Turn off the Celular Data option in your ipad setting. You will see the name of your 3g service provider gone from top left corner.

  • I want to download the 'TRIAL' version of Acrobat 'Standard' not the 'Pro' version

    I want to buy the Acrobat Standard version for my company's laptop, but I need to make sure that Acrobat Standard is enough for my work or not. However, I can download only the Pro version of Acrobat which I don't need to. How can I have a trial version of Acrobat Standard

    Hi Nawanat,
    You cannot install a trial version of Acrobat Std. as it's not available.
    The main differences between Acrobat 11 Pro and Std. are http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    You can use the trial version of Pro for 30 days and compare the features you require and those you can afford to miss in the Std. version

  • How to synch in the most recent version of iTunes - 11.0.0.163 - The latest version updated today and changed the look of the program. I can't see where to click to synch. If I disconnect and restart it works fine automatically, but why do that?

    I updated the latest version of iTunes today and it has a new look. That's fine but I can't see where to click to synch my ipod after downloading music or podcasts. It was always easy.

    It might make it much easier on you if you enable the sidebar in iTunes. Launch iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. With iTunes set up like that, it should look a lot more familiar to you. You can select your device name under the devices heading and then go through all of the iTunes panes by clicking on them at the top of the iTunes Window.
    My screenshot shows my iPad, but it works the same way with an iPod.

  • I just installed the latest version of Firefox and now the Google search engine won't work. Why?

    I just installed Firefox 30.0 and now my search engine isn't working. Is there something in the new version interfering with Google search?

    Are you using the Search box located at the top right corner of Firefox or the actual Google homepage?
    I see that you have a user.js file currently active in Firefox. It's only there if you or a 3rd party program created it otherwise it's not normally there.
    You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
    or
    *Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

  • How do I paste a hyperlink into the new version of Numbers and show the link name rather than its URL?

    I used to be able to do this using paste and match style, but now instead of showing the link name as on the website of origin it is pasting the whole URL. thanks

    Hi Debbsy,
    Hyperlinks in Numbers 3 are a bit of a mystery. However, here is one way that works.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6630204
    Debbsy's question
    For example, the URL to this thread in Cell A2
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6630204
    In Cell B2, insert the HYPERLINK function
    =HYPERLINK(A2,"Debbsy's question")
    Hide Column A.

  • I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

    I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air.  I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up.  (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions).  BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document).  So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer.  I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop.  I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
    How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)?  do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move?  Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
    Thank you in advance.

    Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
    Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
    Sorry, for the confusion.
    Removing documents from iCloud:
    iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
    You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).
