Look Up function is not working with custom dictionary - How can I solve this?

Hi everyone,
I recently installed a Chinese-English dictionary known as 小词典 or Xiao CiDian using the .mpkg file that I downloaded from the website (here's a link: http://xiaocidian.com/). The dictionary package was added to the native Dictionary application on my Mac. When I go to the Dictionary application and search for Chinese words, there are no problems – results just come up as they should. The website claims that the Look Up function should work with this dictionary as well, and that I should be able to look up the definitions of any Chinese words that I come across (which makes sense, seeing as it's integrated into the native Dictionary application). The problem? It's not happening. I've tried all the ways that I have found to get to the Look Up pop-up dialog box – Ctrl-Cmd-D, right-click and the Lion three-finger double-tap gesture – but all that ever happens is that the dialog box comes up, saying "No results found". Does anyone know why this is happening? Should I try reinstalling the dictionary? Thanks in advance to anyone who can give some advice.

If you don't get an answer here, you might want to search/ask in the Chinese Mac list:

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
Regards,
Barry

If you are saying, that you published the book to the iBooks review team and cannot be seem in the store.
Use your iTunes Connect account > Manage your Books to check on its status. It takes time so you need to allow a few days.
If its a problems viewing on your iPad Follow the above advice and another option is is export your book, open iBooks on your Mac and drag the book into iBooks.

With Firefox 3.6.6 I can't get the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-B or CTRL-I to work to display bookmarks; how can I solve this

I have Sidebar bookmarks checked, and even so when I press CTRL-B or CTRL-I, nothing happens. I'd like to be able to see the bookmarks panel remain in place on the left of my screen. On another computer, the keyboard shortcuts work fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Many thanks.

That means that the link has an onclick action. Such links need to be left-clicked. Make sure that you do not block JavaScript.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I recently changed my Apple ID password, but it does not work on iCloud. How can I fix this?

Yesterday I changed my Apple ID password. Now iCloud keeps popping up now and then telling me to log in. And I enter the new password and it doesn't work! I am 100% sure that I am entering the password correctly. That popping up of iCloud is so annoying

Try to:
1) Login on www.icloud.com and see if it works from there
2) Remove you iCloud account from the Mac, and readd it
3) Reset your password again: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617

Palm Desk Top 6.2 Address Look Up Function Does Not Work In Windows 7

I recently upgraded my desk top computer's operating system from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium.  I synchronize with a Palm Tx PDA.  HP PalmOS customer support Chat helped me work through a compatibility issue that was preventing display of Address, Calendar, Memo and To Do items on my desk top computer via the Palm Desk Top 6.2 application.  I now find that the address look up function does not work (although it worked fine when I was running Vista). Without success, I tried running the repair tool as well as reloading the software (both overlay and clean reinstall). I would appreciate any help or suggestions to fix?

Whenever you post formatted text (such as query results) on this site, type these 6 characters:

I see you've added the desired results to your original message.
Here's one way to do that:SELECT first_name

,     RANK () OVER (ORDER BY grade NULLS FIRST)     AS rnk
FROM     test_employees
ORDER BY grade          DESC     NULLS LAST

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion. But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS. It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.
