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.
Open Safari and try to define a word. When " no definition found " comes up you should see "manage" in the bottom left of screen, there you should be able to download a dictionary and then will work thereafter

Thanks!
I can get the English dictioery to apper and saves, but I need the Japanese one also.
If I download them (1 or 2) the do not appear until i back out and then go back in again.
If I switch or close the app its not there again and have to repate the process.
I want to save this option so I dont have to do this every time.
I have the Ipad 2 and Iphoe 4, its the same on both.
Any Ideas?
Let apple know they need to fix this bug via
Http://www.apple.com/feedback
I'm running iOS 7.1 on an iPad mini (1st iteration) and when I try to download a dictionary I get the blue circle and when it fills up I get an "X" which I understand as some sort of fatal error bc no dictionary installs.
Has Apple fixed this yet?
X means it has downloaded. Which one are you not able to use?
Even I am having the same problem. I am using iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1. After following the manage dictionary option it shows that the dictionary I downloading but after completion of process when I repeat the steps to "define" it again shows that there is no dictionary. I have tried the same process several times using wifi and cellular network. But no response.
Good luck getting any help. I think this is apple is a waste of time, I have never had a answer response to this post or any other post. It's just here to make you think they care. Unless your in China then they will help to avoid more bad press.
Does the dictionary open with a blank pop over box? Have you closed all your apps, then power cycled your device?

Which dictionary exactly are you talking about?

The Japanese dictionary?
Yes, the Japanese dictionary dose not save when, iPad/iPhone language is English.
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?
I have exactly the same problem - none of my English dictionaries work. I tried all of the tricks with changing languages etc, nothing helps. Kind of frustrating.
iOS 7 'Define' option pulls up 'no definition found' when highlighting word for definition
