Accidently removed "Contextual Menu Item" from /Library

Hello
I was testing an application called iTrash during which it seems like i have deleted the "Contextual Menu Items " folder as its no longer present and i can no longer right-click anywhere on my Snow Leopard. I don't have any backups. Can someone tell me how i can recover that folder or if i can download the files needed to have in that folder (just the original ones) to regain the Right-click again?
Trash is empty so i can't recover from there. Can someone please help

Normally, that folder's empty. Just recreate it. However, it has nothing to do with right-clicking and getting contextual items. Something else is amiss. Check System Preferences->Mouse and ensure that you haven't disabled the right click. BTW, there isn't any Archive & Install in Snow Leopard, just install.

Removing iTunes similar items from Library view

Hi Ted,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Not quite sure what you are referring to - the column views can be changed in the view menu.
Is it the Browser - you can show and hide this on the view menu.
Is it the MiniStore - again toggle on or off with the view menu.

MIssing Contextual menu Items Folder?

I'm having trouble in iphoto, and it comes down to a contextual menu that is "missing" in my library...can anyone help?

Which one exactly?
Is it actually missing, like not in one of these...
/Library/Contextual Menu Items
/System/Library/Contextual Menu Items
/Users/nnnn/Library/Contextual Menu Items
Or just not usable/selectable?
Have you used Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature lately...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
Reboot needed if many Permissions are fixed.

How do I remove "Scan with ClamXav" in Lion? I cannot find a contextual menu item folder in at home/library.

How do I remove "Scan with ClamXav" in Lion? I cannot find a contextual menu item folder in at home/library. I installed and removed ClamXav from the Mac app store.
Thanks.

Thanks! AppTrap mentioned in the linked article got rid of it for me.
Actually, it didn't. With Snow Leopard and Lion, the contextual menu is provided by a built in "service" within the ClamXav application itself.
If you downloaded ClamXav from the AppStore, all you need to do is trash it and reboot.
If you downloaded the full version from the web you need to first run the "ClamAV Engine REMOVER" script that comes on the ClamXav_2.x.x.dmg. Then trash the ClamXav application, empty the trash and reboot.
There are also one or two preferences that can be found in ~/Library/Preferences/ that start with "uk.co.markallen.clamxav..." that take up minimal space and don't do anything without the application. AppTrap probably found those.

Contextual menu items remain after Bitcasa removal - why?

Hello there.
I'm looking for a solution of Bitcasa context menu items that won't go away. After removing the app they still appear in the Finder context menus. I already searched the usual places like Keyboard Shortcuts, Services, etc. but couldn't find any entry that explains why it is still there.
Anyone got an idea why I can't remove it?

Okay. You got me on the wrong foot there. Sorry for being touchy.
I contacted the Bitcasa support and did everything they wrote on their support pages and more. I even got terminal commands from them to remove everything Bitcasa manually:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Bitcasa.app
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.bitcasa.*
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.Bitcasa.*
rm -f /Users/*/Library/Preferences/com.bitcasa.*
rm -f /Users/*/Library/Preferences/com.Bitcasa.*
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.bitcasa.*
rm -r ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bitcasa.Bitcasa.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.bitcasa.*
The problem seems to be that I actually removed everything identifiable as part of Bitcasa code. And that's the only reason I cant't get rid of this darn menu. I'm not a programmer but I usually know my way around when it comes to apps. What puzzles me is the fact that there seems to no source for this contextual menu item.
Is that even possible?

Hide the delete menu item from a specific document library

I want to hide the Delete item menu option for a specific document library.Since it is for a specific library I would not like to use customcore.js approach.Please suggest some useful javascript for same.
I have a custom delete action associated with the menu which performs other function as well so need to hide the OOB delete option from the item menu of a document library.
I have already used below javascript in CEWP which I added on the document library page itself(allitems.aspx) but yeild no results:
<script type="text/javascript">
var elemTable=document.getElementById('ECBItems');
if (elemTable !=null) {
     var elemTBody=elemTable.childNodes[0];
//iterate each table row to find the correct ECB menu item to hide(remove)
   for (var iMenuItem=0; iMenuItem < elemTBody.childNodes.length; iMenuItem++) {
         var elemTR=elemTBody.childNodes[iMenuItem];
         var elemTDTitle=elemTR.childNodes[0];
         var title=GetInnerText(elemTDTitle);
//here we filter on title, but the table contains more information if need be
        if(title =='Delete') {
             elemTBody.removeChild(elemTR);
</script>
Please suggest which can be kept specific and requires no change in masterpage as same masterpage is used across the site.

Remove a few Menu Items from Reader

Hi
I need to remove a few items from the Menu once the PDF doc is open.
I have inserted the HideList.js =
//Hides Tools > Object Data
//app.hideMenuItem("DataToolsItem");
//Help > Online Support
app.hideMenuItem("OnlineSupport");
//Hides Help > Repair Adobe Reader Installation
app.hideMenuItem("DetectAndRepair");
I need to hide:
Edit > Preferences
View > Read Out Loud
I have tried with :
//Hides View > Read Out Loud
//app.hideMenuItem("ReadLoud");
//Hides Edit > Preferences
//app.hideMenuItem("GeneralPrefs");
But no joy here. If possible I wanted to hide the whole Menu.
Thanks, Maelito

Hi
I have resolved this myself.

Dictionary Contextual Menu Bug from within Preview or Skim

Seems like there is a bug with the way 10.5 handles pdf's and the contextual dictionary menu item. Highlighting a word and selecting the 'Lookup in Dictionary' contextual menu item seems to be unreliable at best. Most of the time, this feature refuses to work in either Preview.app or Skim. Any ideas? BTW i currently use Dictionary with both the standard Oxford dictionary and Wikipedia functions.

The "Mail Document" option in preview works fine for me...dunno what the problem could be, but perhaps if you removed the preferences file for preview from your "~/Library/Preferences/" folder, that might help resolve it. Faulty preferences files are causing folks a lot of application misbehaviors.

Setting default browser for Mail's contextual menu items

I use Firefox as my default browser. In "Safari>General>Default Web Browser" I have it set to Firefox and URL links within Mail trigger Firefox as expected.
However, if I right-click within an email message on some text and select 'Search in Google' it opens in Safari regardless of the default browser indicated in the Safari preferences.
Anybody know how to fix this? It's very annoying.
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello,
I have been searching for the cause of this failure, but have not found much. It may relate to some problems with Contextual Menu Items, discussed within the article at the link below, but I do not know for sure:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/05/28/cm_pt1.html
and may relate to some incompleteness in Firefox, rather than OSX, per se. The contextual menu items are separate from the default preferences, I believe.
Btw, while I like some aspects of a Google search with Firefox, the fact that PDF links are downloaded, rather than opened in the browser, make me prefer Safari for searches. Perhaps there is a preference to cure this problem, but I have not looked very hard for it.

Folder action contextual menu item in Finder

hi,
I remember that when I first got my mac, the contextual menu in Finder would also include an item related to Folder Actions (don't remember the exact wording now). However, at some point of time, when I didn't find folder actions to be really useful to me, I think I must have made some change somewhere, and now the said item doesn't appear in the contextual menu anymore.
Though I do run Folder Action Setup.app and have set up actions for some specific folders, I would rather want this contextual menu item back, so that I can directly enable Folder Actions in/for a folder w/o having to invoke the setup.app.
Hope someone can help out.

If the 'FolderActionsMenu.plugin' is not in the /System/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder you can download a copy here.
<http://tomx.890m.com/FolderActionsMenu.dmg>
If that's the case, after you install the plugin Repair Disk Permissions with your Disk Utility and Restart.
Good luck,
Tom

How do I removing a specific item from an Array?

Hi there.
I am having an array of movieclips and when my circle(controlled with the keyboard) hitTests true with one of the movieclips inside that array i want to remove that movieclip from the array so when i hitTest it again it returns false (I hitTest using a "for in" with that array).
How do i remove a specific item from within an array?
Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

i haven't noticed anyone showing deference because of the points. in fact, i've seen some people (a minority, to be sure) be just obnoxious about it. i never encountered that before: some people feel they have power because they can dole out points.
but overall i agree with you: the loss of the list of threads i am participating in, along with the most recent posters name, is a significant drawback of the new forums. and there's nothing new in these forums that offsets that drawback.
in addition, i think we've lost way more than 1/2 the older threads. that's a lot of information that's no longer available.

Populating menu items from the database...is it possible?

hi
using :forms 10g
we have a requirement in forms where we need to populate the menu items from the database.first we used hiearchial tree where it was possible.but since the requirement changed i am not sure that whether the menu items can be populated by data from the database...will be glad if someone could throw some light on this issue...
thanks

You could always do it but would need to put a fix limit on the number of menu items.
For example you could create a set of menu items at design time with the visible property set to False.
While reading the database, you then set them to True while setting the label to whatever you require.
But it all depends also on what you want your menu items to do when selected.

HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
*Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.
