Since yesterday I installed IOS10 in my iPad Pro, when I'm reading an e-book and I double tap a word, it doesn't appears any option. I closed the app and restated it, closed the iPad and turned on again and the problem continues. In iBooks the screen looks like no sensitive at all. Some help? Thanks.
I've never done it the double-tap way. I've always lightly pressed on a word to select it, which then pulls up the menu (looks like they changed Define to Look Up). Does that work for you? Lightly pressing on a word as you would if you starting to highlight a line and then letting go as soon as the magnifying window pops up?
Have you gone to the Dictionary settings and checked the ones you need?
Hi, well I used to make a double tap to get the option bar showed up, I'm sure because I have read a lot of books and other papers using this app. So when I installed IOS10 I tried to do the same but it didn't work because of the speed I clicked on the screen. When you told me that you lightly pressed on the word to select it, I tried to make the same thing and it worked fine... I must hold pressed a little bit the word with my finger so it works, but it's fine. Holy crap, what a silly thing! I'm very grateful to you all for your quick answer. Thanks.
Not op but have the same question.
Lookup works (giving me weird suggestions based on the word I'm defining as well but w/e)
However, when I'm done with lookup the word I just checked is automatically highlighted. Very annoying if you're reading a novel and just want to check a word. Any way to disable? Cheers
HI, at the moment the only solution I found is to go to the previous or next page and go back... an very awful method but I didn't find any other one until now...
you're right, that does it, but like you said, not a great method. Hopefully a fix is coming!
This helped me to restore several dictionaries to my iPad Pro:
Go on line - preferably WiFi
Go to Settings
Got to Dictionary (you find it near the bottom the list.)
Once you've tapped on Dictionary, a long list of available dictionaries opens.
Tap (tick) the ones you want and they will begin to download. The download circle appears and fills out.
Be careful, they are just as easily deleted as they are downloaded.
Good luck.
Same here: I tap word to "look up" and word remains selected. Tapping the word or the page has no effect. One must sdvance or retreat a page , then return to original page for word to become deselected.
Apple, please repair.
