The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 8th edition. Integration into the spotlight

Hello there!
I have just purchased and installed the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 8th edition, from App Store. Does anyone know how to integrate it into the spotlight?

Someone else here may have other suggestions, but I was able to find the following information on Oxford's support site. It may fix your problem, though it doesn't specifically address sound not playing (it does for the Mac version). I'd suggest you keep the old plugin files until you verify that the new plugins don't cause worse problems.
Q. I have QuickTime 7 for Windows installed. Why do I get an error message "Quicktime plug-in requires the Quicktime system extension version 5 or later" when starting the OALD7 Compass CD-ROM?
A. The Compass CD-ROM was developed before QuickTime 7 was released, and there are some incompatibilites which can be fixed as follows:
If it is open, close the OALD7 Compass application.
Download the pluginsQT7win.zip patch file
In the directory where OALD7 is installed (usually c:\Program Files\Oxford\OALD7\), there is a directory called plugins - delete all the files in the plugins directory.
Move pluginsQT7win.zip into the now empty plugins folder, and unzip the 4 files there.
Sound should now be working - if you have any further problems or queries, please email the helpdesk.
I hope this helps.
Dave

Last time I bought "Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary". But since I update my phones to iOS6, I noticed the "OALD" was no more in my phone nor my families' iPhones or iPad and even not in my purchased list it just show me S$ 38.98. Can you advise me?

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

I have trouble when installing Oxford advanced learner's dictionary

I'm experiencing some troubles when installing the Oxford advanced learner's dictionary in OS X Maverick . It does not run the dictionary. I tried several times, but it shouts down itself.

That's because it's not compatible with Mavericks.
Here's something from the OALD website that might help though:
Apple OSX.9 Update
Since the recent release of OSX.9 Mavericks. We have identified a compatibility issue with some of our CD/DVD-ROM titles. On inserting these titles into a computer, users are presented with an error message informing them that “the application quit unexpectedly”. We’re currently working on how to resolve this issue, but in the meantime we can advise the following workaround. Please copy the full contents of the disc to a hard-drive location on your machine. Click the ‘start.app’ file, and the program will run without error.

Final Cut edits integrated into Motion project

Hey folks,
I have edited my clips in FCP and added simple additive dissolves as transitions. When I send the sequence to a new motion project all of my transitions (dissolves) are not intact. How do I preserve these moving my sequence into motion?

Not exactly correct. Motion 3 preserves all of Final Cut's Motion tab properties, including scale, rotation, crop, dropshadow, etc. - including speedchanges.
What isn't preserved is filters (with the exception of the SmoothCam filter), transitions, and generators.
One solution is to keyframe opacity in FCP instead of using a cross-dissolve. Another is to use the fade in/fade out behavior in Motion.

Textfields in advanced search from LOV non-editable

I have a LOV where the textfields in advanced search are always non-editable. When I look into the LOV JSP page, maxlength of the textfields is 0.
One of the textfields uses following attribute:
in EntityObject: attribute "Kuerzel", type "String" (database datatype VARCHAR2(10))
in ViewObject: attribute "DspKuerzel"
in the JHeadstart ADF BC Property Editor from EntityObject and ViewObject the Setting "maximum length" of the attribute is not set (no entry). Jheadstart help says that when maximum length is set to 0 then the corresponding textfield is non-editable. But here it is not set. Is there a solution to this problem?

If you send a testcase to [email protected] and rename extension .zip to .zipped we can investigate why the maximum length is not generated correctly in your situation.

Dictionary no longer appears in the Spotlight results.

The Mac dictionary no longer appears in the Spotlight results. I have reindexed the hard drive, but that did not help. The stand alone Dictionary application launches fine. Suggestions?

The dictionary works just fine to me.

Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How to save contents of two different rich edit box into single rtf file in windows 8.1 app

Developer, I have requirement to save registration data into rtf file.. These can only be done by if I put rich edit box to fill the data.. Now if I am going to write the code for saving the data of different rich edit box into one particular file, it
only saves the data of last rich edit box.. So plzz suggest that how can I save the contents of different rich edit box together into one rtf file.

Ok Nishant, just did some quick research, since rtf file is unlike txt file, we cannot simply directly write some content to the rtf.
You can try to find some third party code that can help you insert text into rtf file or you would like to load the content from rtf out to the richeditbox and merge them to one richeditbox and then save back to the file.
You could like to see how to read/save rtf file sample from:

Import Edited Video Into iMovie 8.0.5

I have an edited movie that I created on a previous version of iMovie. I saved the movie to mini DV tape. I want to import the movie in its edited version to iMovie 8.0.5. When I import it, it puts the clips out of order, esp transitions and titles. It seems that there must be some timecode in the DV somewhere that iMovie 8.0.5 is using to reorder the fully edited video. The question is then: How do you import a fully edited movie into iMovie without it reordering it into clips. If there is no option to import the clip, then I will have to re-edit the entire movie -- a true waste of time. Please help. Robert.

Hello, Robert, and Welcome to the Discussions,
iMovie 9 (v 8.x) cannot import an earlier version of iMovie and keep its edits. You will get the clips, edited clips, photos, but no effects or titles, and all the transitions will be converted to cross-dissolves.
If you still have the previous iMovie version used to create that movie, you can export it as Quick Time Full Quality and import that QT movie into iMovie 09.

Isn't the Spotlight Index File a Massive Security Threat?

I'm wondering about the concept that Spotlight makes a really deep search -- and record -- of all user-created text files on your computer.
In order for Spotlight to know that a file called "My Personal Stuff.rtf" contains the words "bank", "account", "number", "1234-567890" it needs to copy each of those keywords into the Spotlight index. That means in effect that Spotlight is making a *complete copy* of *all words* in *all text documents* ever on or temporarily connected to your computer, except for un-searched words like "the", "and", etc.
If you've ever plugged your thumb drive into a public Mac somewhere, Spotlight got to work and copied all the (key-) words in every file on your thumb drive into the Spotlight index on that computer.
If you're happy that at least you had Filevault turned on when your laptop with the big corporate secrets and list of thousands of people's personal info got stolen -- there was also a non-Filevaulted Spotlight index on that computer with all the contents of every document extracted as keywords, for the sophisticated cyber criminals to pore over.
Of course, you can turn off Spotlight indexing -- if you never want to be able to find a file on your computer even by file name... on your own computer at least. Not on that other computer you're plugging your drive into.
Is there something I'm missing here?

yes, you are. spotlight index for a drive is kept on that drive. it's not copied to any other drive. that also applies to virtual volumes contained in disk images like a filevaulted home directory. that is, spotlight index for a filevaulted home directry is stored inside the sparse bundle with that home directory. nobody else has access to it and when you are not logged into a filevaulted account there is no trace of the spotlight index for it on the system.

Is the spotlight index stored on the boot drive or individual volumes?

Hello!
My questions are pretty simple, and are sumarized here (from the block of text below):
First, if I have several external hard drives, is the Spotlight index file for each drive stored on the external hard drive, or on OS X's boot drive?
Secondly, if it's stored on the boot drive, can I copy these files to another Tiger-running Mac to eliminate the need to re-index the hard drives? Where do I find them?
Third: Leopard's Spotlight has quite a few new features. Even if the Tiger index files are stored on the external drive, will it need to re-index the drive to support the new feature set?
Now for the long explenation:
I have been preparing to upgrade my Powerbook to Leopard within the next month or two, and as such, I bought a new hard drive to dedicate one of my old drives to Leopard and Time Machine. Because I have three extrernal hard drives, I needed to move about 500 GB of data between the thee drives to make room for what was on the now-dedicated drive. Of course, this requires that Spotlight re-index the "new" drives.
Today, I left all of the drives attached to my old G4, running Tiger, while it sits there indexing the three drives, totaling around a terrabyte of external storage. Because Spotlight tends to hog all of the available CPU time, and the G4 should be done indexing the drives, it would save me a lot of time if I could copy the index files over from the G4 to my Powerbook to avoid indexing them all over again. That is, if the index files are not on the external drives already. If they are on the G4's boot drive, where do I find these files?
Finally, I plan to reformat the internal hard drive of my Powerbook when I install Leopard - I make a habit of doing a fresh install for every major upgrade (eg, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, etc). To estimate the amount of time needed to upgrade, I'd be nice to know if Leopard will need to re-index the files on the external drives - even if Tiger's spotlight index is stored on the externals - for Leopard's new Spotlight features. Will it need to re-index? I would assume that until Leopard arrives, most people wouldn't know this, of course.
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan

Each drive's Spotlight index is located on that drive.
