IOS 7 'Define' option pulls up 'no definition found' when highlighting word for definition

Has anyone experienced this problem after updating to iOS 7? It appears the dictionary is missing when highlighting a word anywhere in the OS and selecting the 'Define' option to look up a word. It just displays a blank page with the words 'no definition found'. I've experienced this with my iPhone 4 also. The apps I've tried this in are iBooks, Notes, Mail, & Safari.

My French dictionary works, but none of the English dictionaries do.
I have tried to manage the dictionaries (they are frozen: no response to clicks). I have changed languages on the keyboard, and changed them back again. I have performed a keyboard reset in Settings.
Nothing helps.
Any other ideas out there?

Cfselect data binding with statically defined options

I am having some trouble getting statically defined options
to remain in my cfselects when I use binding in CF8
I have four cfselects: Continent, Country, State/Province,
County
The continent select is populated by a list in a database,
and each subsequent select is populated depending on the continent
value (your run-of-the-mill related select box model).
I have a form that allows a user to edit an existing record
that uses these select boxes. The form is populated with data from
that existing record - for example, a record in which
Continent=North America, Country=United States, State=Montana, and
County=Meagher
The problem is that when I define a static option based on
what's already in the database:
<cfselect name="continentSelect"
bind="cfc:CF_Classes.places.getContinents()" bindonload="true">
<option value="#
defined continent name#" selected="selected">
defined continent name</option>
</cfselect>
the static option is displayed only momentarily while the
query is running and then disappears completely from the box once
the box is populated. I have got the option to stay when I turn
"bindonload" off, but even then when I trigger the binding the
option disappears. I have been able to get it to stay when I use
the old method of defining a query to populate the box, but then I
lose the binding ability in subsequent boxes so that options I
don't want to show are displayed (i.e. something like
Continent=North America, Country=Japan).
Maybe there isn't a way around this, but there is an example
of this type of thing in the CFML reference for CF8. I haven't
tested it so I don't know if that one works or not. Am I missing
something?

Hi,
There are a couple of ways you can do this. One is where the dropdown would change the presence of static text objects. The other would be where the dropdown would set the actual text within a textfield.
Sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=k2tAeWMsKS0pEbhmWt33oA

I can't find "Define" option in iOS 6.1.4 in iPhone 5. Tried all discussed tricks, all in vein. Please help!!!

I cannot find that "Define" option in my brand new iPhone 5, after updating to iOS 6.1.4. I have tried all discussed tricks of changing language, rebooting, then "define" option appearing and downloading dictionary. And then reverting back to English. Nothing whatsoever worked for me. It's quite annoying for me. Please help how to get that "define" option back, and download the default dictionary!!!

Only this time, that "define" appeared n French. I downloaded the dictionary successfully, & then reverted back to English. Only to get disappointed that in English, that option is still missing. I simply don't know how to import that option from French to English.

How to make input parameters as optional in the function definition

I have created a function for a data service which is at the Normalized layer and has 3 input parameters.
This function is called at the Integration layer in which we have to pass only one parameter. But for the remaning 2 parameters it is throwing an error as we cannot pass those parameters.
Is it possible that we can pass less number of parameters in the higher layer.
I had also made those parameters as optional in the function definition(by applying '?' while defining the arguments-e.g. $x as xs:string?), but error was thrown while generating the query plan.
I have attached a Demo project, in which i have defined a function at the normalized layer and this function is been called at the integration layer.
Thanks,
Kinjal

Thanks mreiche for the reply
But the problem is that while writing
function myfunction( arg1 as xs:string, $arg2 as xs:string?) { ... }
in function definition in the normalized layer, the query plan is throwing following error:-

I cann't find the"define" option in adobe reader when I read a PDF file in iPad 3.

I cann't find the "define" option in adobe reader when I read a PDF file in my iPad 3. I have already latest reader version and iOS 5.1.1 installed.

I believe that I figured it out.
holding finger over a word, will bring the copy/define menu
holding finger where there is NO text, empty space or image, will bring up the annotation menu.
but note that if you have a scanned document, where the words are actually an image, you will get the annotation menu, since there really is no text, just a bunch of pixels that look like text...
you can turn scanned text into "real" text by using OCR functionality of the desktop version of Acrobat Pro (not Reader), it would then create a layer of invisible text under the image of the text.

'Define' option not showing in pages on iPad

I've recently begun to use pages on my iPad to do a lot of work. But I've noticed that when writing within the app I cannot access the dictionary to define a word. There is not even an option to 'define' a highlighted word as there is when typing anywhere else outside the app.
Is this the same for everyone or is something wrong?
I can't see any reason why it would not be available in the app most likely to need it.
Any help or suggestion would be great.
Thanks.
Also. I've just posted this question under 'using iPad'. But it seems that someone is totally spamming that particular section with total garbage relating to dating or something. And so all genuine questions are buried immediately.
Someone who can, might want to clean that up?

Suggest you repost your question in the iWork for iOS forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios where you are more likely to get an answer.

User defined option

hi
has anyone got any idea how to create user defined option to run with the "java" command? I want to build some for testing mode of my software.
thanks

The option that I talk about is, for example:
java -classpath helloworld
In this case "-classpath" is one of the available option that comes with the "java" command.

Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point). this is what shows up in the command box when ever I click to start to pick the spot i want to use as the clone. makes my cloning tool useless. can any one help? I have reset the tools restrted my computer. i am at a loss...

Are you working with more than one layer? If you are working with multiple layers it makes a difference when selecting source spot and then trying to clone to a different layer. I find that I have to be sure I am selecting the corresponding layers for source and then for application when working within multiple layers.
At least for me this is the case when getting that type of message. I am very new to this program though, so maybe someone else has a more concise answer for you.
Good luck and write again if this doesn't help.

If a tool is acting up, one suggestion is to reset the tool.
Ctrl-click on the clone tool icon in the Options bar and select Reset Tool.

IOS app creation - options

Hi,
I am new to app development. I am wanting to know what is possible and my cheapest option in creating an app for IOS from windows.
The app I am creating is a technical publication wanting to be displayed on a ipad.
I have an adobe Air version published from robohelp/ framemaker. Is there a way to turn my adobe air application into a IOS App?
If not, what are my other options to get a tech pubs document as a IOS App? I would like to use ideally windows adobe products for the creation.
Thanks

Only if Apple offers them, which currently they don't. You might try this:

Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

Accented characters in Word for Mac: Option-i doesn't work

I am trying to type an accented character (e.g., a circumflex over a letter). Everything I find online says type and hold "OPTION-i", release, then type the letter, but it doesn't work. Instead I get the accent over empty space, next to the letter. This is MS Word for Mac 2008 software on a MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

> the problem is that I'm trying to put a "hat" over a consonant
I suspect you'll find that, the more precise and specific your question, the more greater the likelihood of getting a speedy and helpful answer.
> Looks like the software only allows the circumflex over vowels.
> Option-i does work on my computer for vowels. (Built-in
> keyboard).
Nonsense. Nothing to do with your keyboard. Btw, you still haven't told us what character you're trying to insert.
> I guess I will have to use the Equation Editor.
That's an option, but not the only one. Just for the sake of argument, let's assume it's p-hat (not the party hat, but the symbol for sample proportion).
(1) Specifically in Word, you can use fields (overstrike). Go to Insert > Field… > Equations and Formulas > Eq; then type
EQ \O (p,^)
and confirm. (Note that "EQ" will be inserted by Word automatically, you don't need to type it again.)
Once you get the hang of it, you won't need to insert it using menu & submenu commands, but by typing and applying styles.
(2) The right way is Unicode. Currently, Unicode defines >100k codepoints, so, for obvious reasons, it's neither necessary nor practical for most keyboard layouts to be able to access anything but a small subset. You can enter Unicode characters using Character Viewer (aka Special Characters), or, more efficiently, using the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout.
If the character is already defined as such in Unicode, eg, for all (upside down A), then hold down Option and type its Unicode hex code, ie 2200 -- ∀. However, p-hat isn't defined as such, so it must be entered as a combining character sequence. The sequence is ((Latin small letter p) + (combining circumflex accent)), or (p + 0302) -- p̂.
Unfortunately, all is not sweetness and light. Although this is how it should be done, the display may disappoint. Questions 12b and 12c in the respective Unicode FAQ explain what happens and why.
