Needs dictionary app.

I don't have a problem, but I am buying my wife a new ipod touch and she's going to follow some French-Arabic classes and she needs an electronic dictionary, I suggested her to use an ipod touch and get a multi-language dictionary app.
Any idea what would be a good app to purchase?

You should try the free versions of the application on the app store for electronic dictionary, before you buy them. If you find a particular application you might be interested in, search the web for reviews on that app which you could find hundreds of that appplication(you are looking at).

Did anyone notice that scroll bar is not working properly in Dictionary.app?

after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I noticed that for dictionary.app 1) space/shift+space cannot be used to scroll the page 2) when I use arrow keys to do so, they are the opposite in direction to whatever works in other apps
does this happen to other people too?

Yes, I see this same behaviour. I had to look for it specifically though, because the way I use Dictionary.app means I've never had the need to scroll with the keyboard before.
Feel free to report it as a bug: http://bugreport.apple.com/ .

Trying to re-install Dictionary.app but it doesn't work

Hi,
I've deleted dictionary.app by mistake (Leopard 10.5.8). I've used the Mac OS X Install DVD, chose optional software and ticked Oxford Dictionary. The installation was successful but I cannot find dictionary anywhere in my imac... Repeated the process a few times, restarted, etc - no luck!
I am obviously doing something wrong but what??

That actually installs the dictionary, not the application. Try this:
How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.
20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
• Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes.....
• Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update ..... Default selection
Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

TS1702 I can't install Tap-dictionary app...when I do the 'paste command'..it's my last word that I copy who appears...

I tried many times to install 'Tap-dictionary' app on my Ipad 3...the last step 'enter address and 'Paste' doesn't work...
why?

Are you sure it's the disc that came with that Mac? It should be gray, and the model and version (10.6.x) should be printed on it in very tiny type. It will only work on the same model and build period.
When you erased the internal HD, dis you specify the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or, if you really need it, Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled) Format?
Why are you doing this? Was there a problem? If so, what (that might provide a clue)?

Reinstalling Dictionary App?

Hi,
I've been using cleanmymac or ccleaner to cache from my computer and I think the dictionaries on my dictionary app got deleted
How can I reinstall this without reinstalling my whole mac and just the dictionary?
I tried reinstalling using the built-in recovery function but there doesn't seem to be an option.
Thanks!

Time to stop using dangerous third party cleaners as you have used. If you need to delete an App then use it's included uninstaller, or go to the developers website and follow their uninsall instructions. If you really feel you don't trust OSXs inbuilt cache cleaning maintenance, there are much safer ways to go about it.
I would simply be doing a reinstall now, in case some other things have also been 'cleaned' that you haven't discovered as yet.
Hold down cmd-R at startup until the Recovery Partition loads. Then choose the "Install OS X" option and follow the prompts.
Cheers
Pete

Can Dictionary app use suggestions?

The OS X Dictionary app doesn't provide any suggestions. You have to get your word exactly correct. Is there a way to enable this? Or, is there a good replacement Mac app that does this?

I don't use this app a lot, but I just checked in the Play Store, and there is an update waiting there. In the reviews, a user named James Robinson suggests that the Bluetooth, WiFi, and camera permissions are for the sake of new in-store experience features. The app wants to detect when you're in a store, inform you of offers, let you scan items (hence the camera), etc.
Nice. You didn't really think "My" Verizon meant your Verizon, did you?
Robinson and other reviewers also question why this app now wants root access.
I do note that the update description includes "Enhanced logging for device troubleshooting." Perhaps that explains both the root access and the camera. They might need to check whether the camera is malfunctioning. Maybe.

Look up in Dictionary.app

Is there any way to look up a word directly in Dictionary.app?
Control clicking a selected word, choosing "Look up..." brings up the definition(s) in a pop up window. Then clicking on "Dictionary" takes you to the Dictionary application... But I prefer the former (Snow Leopard) option of going directly to Dictionary.app
Can I get this back?

OK. Here's a service that reproduces the desired effect...
--Look up in Dictionary service script
on process(_selection)
     tell application "Dictionary"
activate
         open location "dict:///" & _selection
     end tell
end process
Save the above as an Applescript with name "Look up in Dictionary"
Pack up as a service with ThisService (available from http://wafflesoftware.net/thisservice/ )
Make sure it's checked in System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts/Services
Add shortcut CTRL + CMD + D (replacing the default "Look up...")
There you go! Gone is that lurid animation and pop-up window.

I downloaded a free Merriam-Webster Dictionary app for use on my iphone 5. I thought I followed the download process properly, but cannot see that the app is launched on my phone. I have checked my phone for 'updates' and the app is listed among the ones I have purchased. I clicked on it and it began installing, however, it still has not launched. I get a message screen to sign in with my Apple ID, which I tried, and I get the message that I have purchased this app and it will download. When I try to sign in, I get the message that it can't connect to the itunes store and to retry. I've done that several times without any luck...not sure where else to look for the 'working' app. I did try re-booting the phone...even did a 'hard reset' to no avail...help?

How can I change the size of Dictionary.app panel?

Hi!
I love quickly looking up words while working in applications such as Safar, Pages or Mail.
I go to Dictionary’s preferences and set the Context Menu option Dictionary.app - Open Dictionary panel.
But the size of the window pane is very small.
In Mac OSX 10.5 I did like this:
In Interface Builder.app open file /Applications/Dictionary.app/Contents/SharedSupport/DictionaryPanel.app/Content s/Resources/English.lproj/PopupWindow.nib and (⌘+3) set the width and height. The result:
!http://grab.by/1vHR!
In 10.6 I can not find the file PopupWindow.nib.
Where is it?

Hi, everyone, I have found the solution of this problem.
Step1: Go to Macintosh> System> Library> CoreServices> Find DictionaryPanel.bundle
Step2: Click it and Show Package Contents> Contents> Resources> English.lproj> DCSDictionaryPanel.nib> Show Package Contents> keyedobjects.nib
Now, you may find it's not editable, if you already know how to edit it, just skip this part
so, please regard to this website: http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/how-to-edit-nib-files-in-snow-leopard/
then, use Interface Builder to do whatever you want. Have fun.
FYI: If you don't know what Interface Builder is, it comes with Xcode that you can download it from apple website after registered as a developer.

How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app?

I'm a new smartphone user. How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app - which one is best...prefer free of course...does it work from home or do I have to be on the road to access gps function? Thanks!!

There is a built in GPS and map function that provides basic navigation using Google Maps. It's hard to miss right there on the home screen. However, it is maunal; you have to tap "next" when you reach each waypoint, and it does not provide spoken directions. It also downloads maps in real time, so it can be slow if you have a slow data connection, and it uses a lot of data if you are on a limited data plan. It is excellent for walking and public transportation, less useful in a vehicle unless you have a navigator sitting in the car.
There are several commercial GPS apps that you can buy from the App Store, but no free ones. Just search the App Store for "GPS".

Need an app to edit and sign word documents (sign with stylus)! Notability let's me sign but doesn't pull up letter head, quickofficepro let's me edit but not sign. Looking for an app that does both

I am looking for an app where I can edit word documents as well as sign them. I am a physical therapist whose looking to cut down on paper work. Someone types my evaluations and then we print them out for me to edit by hand and then they go back and make the corrections on the computer then w print them and sign them to send off. Recently I have begun using apps where I can pull up the document and edit it thru quickofficepro or through cloudon, but I cannot sign them using a stylus pen. I also have notability which I can use to sign the documents, but it doesn't save the document as a doc, it's either a PDF or rtf. Also, in notability, it doesn't pull up the letter head for our company which is a template with our logo on it. So I need an app where I can both edit and sign my documents by hand using a stylus. If someone could provide me with any relevant information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Pages for Mac OS X, the topic discussed in this community won't do it.
I think you'll have a better chance for a useful answer in either the Using iPad or the iPad in the Enterprise community.

I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

Hi Chris.
It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.

Is there a way to upload a dictionary generated for the XOS Dictionary App to the hidden dictionary app of iPad or iPhone, respectively?

Dear All,
I started to generate on my MacBook, with the Tools provided with XCode 5, to generate a dictionary for the Dictionary App which runs fine on my Max OSX machines. Now I wonder if there is a way to upload the dictionary to the hidden dictionary app of iOS to use the dictionary on iPad and iPhone via the "define"-option of highlighted words. All of curse under the assumption both applications use the same dictionary formate, what I guess since both outputs look very similar. The hidden app of iOS downloads dictionaries somehow from iCloud as the cloud symbol suggests. But does anyone know how to upload dictionaries to there e.g. from a MacBook to be able to download it subsequently with iPad or iPhone in the "manage"-Mode of the hidden dictionary app?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Juergen

SOLVED!!!!!
This is the app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dictionary.appender/id650562573?mt=8
I emailed the maker of the app and he said to just follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
File share the .dictionary file to your ipad and then add it from the list of addable languages. It took a minute for it to show up on my ipad but it DID work. It is working with iBooks.
Happy reading.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Hi Cheskatlu
The touch apps can be used with Creative Cloud but are sold separately, see this page http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tools-and-services.html
Are these the apps you were referencing?
