Apps under "Services" menu

I tried to use "ALL CAPS" under the services menu under the Numbers menu and I was told that it was not installed, to install it. Where do I go to find this and to install it? It shows and I'm sure I had it in a previous OS but have no idea where to look now. Thanks

Most likely, it's the wordservice service that's missing. Get it from http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware.html

Make gmail default program under services menu

I want to have gmail as my default mail program if I email from within another program such as word or circus ponies notebook. I already have apple mail going through gmail, etc., and I tried setting Firefox as my default mail reader from within mail. I have gmail set as default mail program within Firefox. However, if I am in an application and use the services menu to mail something -- apple mail still opens, not gmail.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Firefox can not be a default email program because it's not an email client. only an email program like Mail, Thunderbird or Entourage can be set to be the default email client. google made an app that will simulate an email client and can be set to be the default email client.
http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/notifier_mac.html
if you set it to be the default then any email link you click in any web browser will open in your default web browser in gmail webmail interface. However, that will have no effect on built in mail services available from Services menu. they are hard programmed to use Mail.app only.

No apps available in self service menu from school. Need to download an app for homework. Help?

no apps available in self service menu from school. need to download app for homework. Help

Sounds like your school is using the MDM Casper by JAMF. The JAMF Software Server (JSS) may not be available outside your schools network. You will likely have to wait until you are at school to download the apps from Self Service.
If your school is using VPP Managed Distribution, check the App Store "Purchased" tab to see if your school assigned any apps to you there. Be sure that you are logged in to the Apple ID that you used when enrolling.
Hope this helps!

How to add to app Services menu?

Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out how to add a "send to..." or somesuch menuItem to the Services menu in an application.
I've created Services in the Finder that I can run with a right-click, but I don't know the procedure -- if there is one -- for end users to add to the application Services menu.
My specific task is to open the current open window/document in Adobe Reader in Skim so I can fill in and edit there. None of my searches has uncovered how to go about doing this. Any helpful pointers or information gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
Markie

Need to fix item in services menu

I am using OmniFocus as my task manager. I have set up a keyboard shortcut for a clipping feature ("send to OmniFocus"). My keyboard shortcut is correct in System Preferences>keyboard>keyboard shortcuts>Services. But when I use the mail.app and select text, the services menu tells me the clipping shortcut (for "send to OmniFocus") is something other than the one I have set.
I need to get in there and fix that services menu. How do I do that?
p.s. I have cleared all my caches. I have rebooted the PRAM. I have repaired permissions. OmniFocus ninjas are not sure of the fix.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Is it not working just under Mail.app? Maybe you chose a shortcut combination that's active on Mail as well. If you have to change the shortcut, just go to the place you mentioned in System Preferences and double-click the shortcut that corresponds to the "send to OmniFocus" service and input a new combination. Notice that depending on your priorities, you might also consider changing Mail's conflicting shortcut, instead of Omni's.
Good luck!

Send Mail in Services menu

Hello all!
I am not sure if this goes here, but I finally got to writing this. My SERVICES menu (under any Application name) will NOT send an email from anywhere.
If I hilite some text in Safari & go Safari>Services>Send to... NOTHING happens.
Now I admit it's been this way since 10.4.5 or so...
About half my Services menu item work, half don't.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

PS i will also post this under OS X.4 since i think it's also an OS issue.

Yeah Mail works fine, other apps work fine,.. Nothing's been moved.. (I am REALLY good with OS X & have been a local Mac Guy for a decade or so.. and usually can figger out my problems)
I think it's something in the scripts, or coding that run the Services Menu.
Anyone know HOW the Services work? Are they apps? Applescripts? Shell Scripts? Are there links (?) to the services that could get broken?
Maybe that would help get to a solution..

How does services menu work and how to clean it up?

You know how context menus on the mac are sometimes slow? I've figured out this has to do with the services menu.. located under keyboard -->services in the left-hand sidebar. My question is how do apps put services in that menu.. and how do I remove rather than disable a specific menu item?
I guess my broader question is how do I completely uninstall applications when I no longer have the original app bundle? I'm just concerned about clutter acclumating over time.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/1485840#1485840
Apple found this answer for me after I posted.
However, the question is still a good one in general. Absent something like appzapper anaylyzing the app, how does one uninstall. The services menu looks like it will be taken care of when the app is removed. Language packs must have been the culprit for me?

Can I run a shell script from the services menu?, part II

Remember this?
It is now possible.

Doesn't look like there is a direct way to do it.
The services are all Bundles, which is easy
enough to fake -- just copy one from /Library/Services
to ~/Services and modify the plist. Put your shell
script in Contents/MacOS/ and identify it in the
plist under CFBundleExecutable and hope for the
best
Where it gets sticky is CFBundlePackageType (APPL
for Application, FMWK for FrameWork, BNDL for
'loadable bundle', whatever that is] and NSServices.
CFBundlePackageType should pose no problem if Services
use the OS loader and handles file magic [and '#!' of
course].
NSServices specifies a named port that the app
listens on, the data type it receives, and so forth.
This looks a bit harder to fake. I'd bet Applescript
has the functionality, and there may be some
command-line hooks to backend that, or it may be
possible to netcat your way through it.
But it doesn't look trivial
Property List Key Reference
Anyways, tried it with a quick script that echoes to a
file, and haven't figured out how to refresh the
Services menu to get it to appear. Probably have
to NetInfo it or something ridiculous; doesn't appear
to watch the FS.

I have some forms stuck under the menu bar on Mac Mountain Lion

I have a stock market program and two of their forms have become stuck under the menu bar. Closing the program doesnn't help because when it's restarted it returns to the exact same spot and I can't reach the close buttons. I've tried changing the screen res put that doesn't help. Any ideas?

Can I remove items from the Services menu?

I think the subject line says it all: can I remove items from the Services menu? I have a number of items in the Services menu that I never use and I would like to make the menu shorter to make it easier to access the items that I do use.

There are a couple of things you could try. There's an application called Service Scrubber that is supposed to do this. But the web page says it's for 10.4, though it says it might work on 10.3
Alternatively, you can edit the Info.plist or Info-macos.plist file in each application bundle to remove its service from the Services menu. This post at Mac OS X Hints has a pretty detailed description of how to do it. I tried this on my iMac running 10.3.9 and it worked just fine.
Don't know about the Service Scrubber app, but if you edit the plist files, you'll need to log out and log back in before the changes take effect.
Also, if you decide to edit the files by hand, I'd suggest just renaming NSServices by adding an "x" to the front or something, rather than deleting the item completely. That makes the changes easier to reverse.

Remove Items Services Menu

I like to experiment with new software. Most I end up deleting but occasionally I end up with some cool stuff. The problem, however, is that some of these add services in the Services Menu and I can't get rid of them.
I've removed the apps with AppZapper, I've done a search with EasyFind and removed any other traces of these apps. I've even gone in manually and looked through all three libraries (user, system, hard drive) and looked in Application Support, Preferences, Caches, Services (seems obvious but there are only 6 items total in there) and every other folder that might relate to this.
Nothing of these programs exist anywhere in my system or hard drive, yet their services are still in the Services Menu. If anyone knows how to get these things out I'd really like to know.
In the mean time web searching came up with this:
http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=servicescrubber
A nifty little program called Services Scrubber that lets you turn off any services you don't want, really quite handy. So they are no longer in the menu, which is a big improvement, but I want them out of my system too.

Hi, Kevin.
Take a look at the System
Services documentation, particularly the
section "Items in the Services Menu", to understand
how the Services Menu functions.
Thanks, Doc. I've saved it as a web archive to read later since it's 6 am and I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee yet and it's a bit too much to deal with right now.
I suspect you may have to perform a restart after
uninstalling an app that adds items to the Services
menu in order for it to be cleared.
Already done a restart. Some of these are months old and my Mac has been restarted several times, even had Disk Warrior and other repairs and updates (Repairing Permissions and Rebuilding Launch Services database, deleting caches) more than once as well.
I just left all those Services sitting there because I didn't have time to deal with it and they didn't seem to be hurting anything. I always assumed I just needed to go into the various services folders and delete them, so when I went to do that yesterday I was quite surprised to not find any of them there. Had a similar problem with Contextual Menus with many of the same programs, but those I did find in the correct folders and removed them and they are gone like they should be.
I suspect Service Scrubber's author may be scanning
for the info.plist files of installed applications to
find potential services, as well as checking any
"Library/Services" directories extant (Macintosh HD >
Library > Services, Home > Library > Services,
Macintosh HD > System > Library > Services, etc.).
You'd have to discuss this with him or check his
site.
The problem with that is I've removed all traces of these apps, even going through and looking for scraps manually after doing a search with EasyFind. They no longer exist so how can Service's Scrubber change anything in them? And I've looked through all the services folders and none of these programs exist there either. Here's what's in the folders:
User services:
ChronosNotesService.app
ChronosNotesService.bundle
Those are supposed to be there as StickyBrain is one of those apps I kept and want the services.
System services:
AppleSpell.service
ChineseTextConverterService.app
ImageCaptureService.app
Spotlight.service
SummaryService.app
HD/Library doesn't even have a services folder.
The lack of services placed in services folders is puzzling. I just installed Yojimbo yesterday and it added a service yet it doesn't show up either. Where are they putting these?
But, clearly, Service's Scrubber can find these and turn them off.
AppZapper may also not be doing its job fully. You
should consult with the author concerning the
Services issues you are seeing.
It sounds like I need to contact AppZapper, Service's Scrubber AND the various apps causing the problems. Sigh.
They aren't causing any problems and aren't even cluttering the Services Menu any more since I used Service's Scrubber, I'm just curious as to what's going on.

N97 - No log-in from the VOIP service menu

I am stuck though I have followed Nokia's procedure for configuring my phone for VOIP calls: Log-in from the VOIP service menu doesn't happen. My SIP-profile is registered. However, I have two VOIP services defined (two globes) with the same name as a consequence of a problem when installing "S60 5.x SIP VoIP 3.1 Settings", then reinstalling, and I do not know how to delete one (the other displays my username correctly). Under the globe, the following text is displayed "Contact not on the contact list. To add, select 'Add fro..." and no more. My phone is a N97 RM-505 with software version 21.0.045. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

Since updating my IPhone 4 to IOS 6, I am unable to pull up the list of Purchased apps under the Apps/Updates.

Since updating my IPhone 4 to IOS 6, I am unable to pull up the list of Purchased apps under the Apps/Updates. I suspect I am too low on RAM to load the entire list of purchased apps. Any solution?

Hi Urs
I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
I hope this info is a little help for you!!
Let me know if this works for you, ok?
Best regards,
Wolfgang
