OS X Yosemite: Dictionary doesn't work.
Hello.
After updating to OS X Yosemite, dictionary stopped working.
By 'stopped working' what I mean is: when I click - with three fingers - over a word, a ballon pop's up and says that he can't find any reference!!
On OS X Mavericks, it was working perfectly!
Any idea why this is happening?
Thank you.

I have a MacBook Pro Retina (2,3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB). I use KompoZer for my website, but after installing OS X Yosemite it doesn't work right (I cannot see images in the website).
It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

Mail with Yosemite OS doesn't work fully with Hotmail IMAP
First of all my question:
How do I set up Mail properly in Yosemite OS so it works fully with Hotmail IMAP?
My problem:
I can receive and send mails through the hotmail IMAP account but I am not able to search inside mail content, mail headers or anything near mail data for any hotmail mails.
My setup:
account type: IMAP
e-mail: [email protected]
- incoming mail:
server: imap-mail.outlook.com
user: [email protected]
port: 993
use SSL
authentication: password
- outgoing mail:
server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
user: [email protected]
port: 587
use SSL
authentication: password
I have 6 other mail accounts (5 IMAP and 1 POP) setup, and they work without any problems at all.
Other details:
My Spotlight search neither finds the hotmail mails.
I can cycle manually through all the hotmail mails and see all content, but when I search for the content the mails doesn't appear.
Perhaps this is a bug in Yosemite Mail?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.Try re-indexing Spotlight..

Personal dictionary doesn´t work
Hi! I´m struggling with the personal dictionary, which refuses to work. I have tried various combinations of languages, keyboards etc., but it just won´t let me use the shortcuts I make. And it´s really annoying to have to write down for example my whole e-mail address every single time...
Any ideas out there? Thanks!
JMHi and thanks for your answer!
It´s not so much about words as it´s about shortcuts. For example, instead of writing your e-mail address, on my iPhone I could make a shortcut like "@@", and the phone would fill in my e-mail address. Or "hnd" would write "Have a nice day!". On iOs you can make as many shortcuts as you like, and it looks like you can do it as well on the Sony, except it doesn´t work...
Are you saying this is not possible on a Sony?
Thanks again! -

IBooks dictionary doesn't work
I thought about posting this in the iBooks forum, but it appears to be only for publishers of books, not for users of the app. (Which is dumb.)
Anyway, I noticed about a week ago that my dictionary no longer works in iBooks. When I highlight a word and tap "Define," it says "No definition found." No matter what word it is. The buttons for "Search Web" and "Search Wikipedia" work, but that's beside the point.
And it continues to happen - even after yesterday's iBooks upate that Apple released (which also didn't fix its excruciating slowness). This happens on any book. All other functionality works - highlighting, making a note, searching, etc.
Anyone else have this problem?There is no on/off. To get the definition of a word it is necessary to double tap it to bring up the dialogue box. Selecting Define should enable the dictionary. If this is not happening try a reset is hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo apparently appears.

Reset Keyboard Dictionary doesn't work
Hi everybody, i have tried several times to reset the keyboard dictionary to get rid of all the silly suggestions when i am typing a message or an Email, but it doesn't seems to work.
How can i reset it for sure?
ThanxDo you expect 'Reset' to get rid of those spellings that you've rejected or those spellings that were presented as options?
You may have inverted your expectation compared with what 'Reset' actually does? -
One of sever glitches that led me to "downgrade" back to mountain lion. However, wasn't thinking and updated safari to 6.1 and I now have the same problem. It took me a while to figure out, but now it is completely reproducible. When I visit youtube and watch a video. Safari's look-up, the three finger tap dictionary shortcut, no longer works. It just highlights the word momentarily but never completes the function.
I'm going to restore my laptop again to factory setting and just not upgrade the software to the new Safari update.
The main issues/bugs I had with Mavericks, even after a clean install were:
- pdf's very freezing while scrolling for a few seconds
- frequent spinning pin wheels
- other small random bugs I can't recall at the moment.
Macbook Air mid 2012 i7 8g ram 256gbHDThanks,but the problem seems to show up only after extended use of the computer.Today,for example,I didn't go to work,and turned the PC on in the morning,and by early afternoon,it was getting more and more sluggish.It finally got so bad that it locked up,and even CTL-ALT-DEL wouldn't work.

I have Downloaded Yosemite, It doesn't work correctly
I downloaded Yosemite and now mi iMac is screwed up.
The graphics are jerky and it won't play videos, but plays the audio for it.
The whole system is jerky!Hey Bob, let me be more precise, on my studio computer, which has Mavericks as OS, I've created an educational interactive PDF Gant chart for students. This involves a critical path made up of check boxes.
The correct path the student takes results in tick boxes, if the student selects the wrong box the field is erased and they start again. This is an action created in the 'actions' section of buttons and forms.
On testing, this works online on the mac with OS mavericks, also a PC outside the office. But when tested on the home computer with Yosemite OS, the tick boxes appear wherever selected but remain static when incorrect boxes are selected.
I've had the mac checked today and all is operating as should be.
Are there known clitches with CC or InDesign with Yosemite? I Haven't cross checked using CS6. -
English - english dictionary doesn't work
I have Firefox 32 and Windows 7. My add-ons manager says that English - English Dictionary 1.5 is installed, but it isn't working. There's no "ABC" icon and clicking a word does nothing. What am I doing wrong?
You may try to uninstall and get the latest version. If you are still experiencing the problem, please try any other dictionary alternatives

CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite
After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?I have a similar pb :
CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
But it works no more ... very weird
All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet ! -
In Yosemite, Magic Mouse double-click function doesn't work
On my iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2, the double-click function on the Magic Mouse no longer works. So to open a folder, or anything for that matter, I must always do click-control ---and that doesn't work for everything. For example, I can't double click on a character in Glyphs, so this renders Glyphs useless. And so on... I have gone into preferences to see if anything was amiss in the settings, but everything checked out fine. Is there a fix for this, or do I have to wait for the next upgrade for Yosemite? Help! Thanks... --Royce
What's the answer to this mouse problem, please? Why does my double-click no longer work on my magic mouse since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2 to my iMac?
What's up Apple?
