Dropbox and contextual menu

Dropbox has added itself to my contextual menu. Does this mean Dropbox can access my system? Can it install dark software? Why does Dropbox not have to ask permission to modify my system?
This is very confusing to me.

I guess I wasn't clar: Dropbox changed mu finder behaviours, without even asking permissions. I taked wit Dropbox support; they don't know any way to undo it, other than uninstalling Dropbox.
If they can, without authorization, change my finder, what else could they change if the felt like?
For that matter, why couldn't every one of my 150+ applications decide to put itself, irrevocably, in my contextual menu?
I find this inexcusible.

Installed 10.2.8 and contextual menu doedn't work

Hi all,
I install 10.2.8 on two iMacs and options in the contextual menu in the Finder are not displaying anymore except the arrows e.g "open with" arrow or the arrow to scroll a long list of options. Has anybody got any ideas what I could do?

HI Donny,
I haven't had a chance to come back to this computer till now. I reinstalled the Mac OSX 10.2.8 update, I had forgotten that you said to install the Combo version. Only change I have noticed is that the "Open with" arrow on the the contextual menu appears and displays the names of applications when clicked but the actual contextual menu still hasn't any text.
I am getting this strange read out in Disk Utility and if I remember correctly 10.2 should not be displaying all for this but I think only the line with "New Permissions". Would you have a look through it & see do you recognise anything there. I will give the Combo update an install and report back.
Thanks again,
Fiachra.

Custom tuning menu, menu bar, and contextual menu transparency levels?

I'm not talking about simply toggling menu bar transparency (which you can already do in 10.5.5 using System Preferences), but I'd like having the chance to tune transparency level for different objects.
Is there any way to tune:
1) menu
2) menu bar
3) contextual menu
transparency level?
(possibly individually for each of the three categories)
This would be cool.

You can't - all the template navigation menus are not made to be changed.
If you want anything different, then you need to open the Inspector and go to Page and then check the box where it says 'hide navigation menu' and then you can build your own text based menu by using text boxes or shapes etc. and then use hyperlink to link to your pages. In this way you have full control over colour and placement.

ITunes and contextual menu bug

Can anyone verify this?
If I use my Mighty Mouse to right-click on a track in iTunes either the menu selection (e.g. 'get info') has no effect (4.9) or iTunes crashes (5.0 and 5.0.1).
The same thing happens if I control-click, so not just a Mighty Mouse thing.
I thought it might be fixed in yesterday's update but it wasn't.

Raymond hello,
Your problem indicates that you do not have the ownership and or permission set right on your Music library and or the data files.. you may also have locked files to contend with.... Do this..
Check that your HD is in order with 'Disk Utility' ...
Run repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk...
insert disk and re-start holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning gear.
At installer level do not continue...
Use top menu and go 'Disk Utility' select your HD volume with the Operating system on...
select 1st aid... select repair Hard Disk.
if errors are repaired run again until none are reported then verify your HD.
quit and return to the Finder Do not continue with the Installer...
Check the permissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
Use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
To set preferences using BatChmod is very easy...
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
drag the complete Music folder
with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and priviledges'...'Unlock' & click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
come back and report the results Raymond .... TP

Bug or Feature? Array Custom Contextual Menu Destroys "Delete" and "Insert" Element!

Step to Reproduce:
- Create an Array (doesn't matter of what type).
- Ctrl-M (to switch to Run Mode)
- Notice that:
- when you Right-Click on the Array borders, you have access to an "Empty Array" menu item among other things
- when you Right-Click in an Array element, you have access to an "Insert Element Before" and a "Delete Element" menu item among other things
- Now switch back to Edit Mode and modify the contextual menu in the following way:
- Advanced>>Run-Time Shortcut Menu>>Edit...
- Edit>>Copy Entire Menu
- Switch to "Custom" menu (instead of "Default"): the menu disappears and is replaced by a single ??? item
- Edit>>Paste: The default menu reappears with the ??? on top
- Create you favorite custom menu item by editing the ??? item (say: Do Nothing)
- Save the menu with the control and switch to Run Mode (Ctrl-M).
- Now try the first 3 steps above: wherever you right-click, you have access to the Custom Menu, but the Array Element contextual menu is GONE.
In other words, you cannot (it seems) define a custom contextual menu for an array without destroying the default contextual menu for its elements.
Therefore, if you want to preserve the ability to Insert and Delete Elements in an array, you have to add these two items to the Array contextual menu and juggle with the position of the right-click to figure out whether or not to display them...

Well, I created in LabVIEW 2012 such a control and added part of the default menu in the way you described with copy-paste as a submenu to an Edit entry in my custom menu and it did not disappear:

Contextual Menu Layer Selection for CS4 and 5.x

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to get contextual menu layer selection functioning better in Photoshop.
Right clicking on a layer provides a menu but does not necessarily select the top layer automatically. If the layer is grouped, it will generally show the top most group, and indent layers within. Alt-right click selects the top-most layer, but does not provide the contextual menu.
The behavior I'm looking for is right click, brings up a menu with the top most LAYER (not group) selected.
I see this topic was already covered (and fixed by Adobe) for the Mac version here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/632446?start=0&tstart=0
Am I missing something on the Windows version? Is there an option somewhere to change the behavior?
Thanks.

Attached is a picture of the behavior in Windows. Right clicking on empty space (with the exception of a plain white background) does not highlight background. It highlights Group 1, despite Group 1 not containing any information for where I have selected. So when selecting layers in a huge working file with dozens of groups, finding the top most layer gets to be a painful experience.
In Windows, I can control-click a layer to get to the top-most layer without any contextual menu, however the menu behavior on the Mac offers some benefits - you can just go up one menu item to find the layers group.
Here's the same example from above:
Another example:
The Mac behavior seems much much more valuable I would think. However, I'm guessing there is no way to get the Windows version to do this.

IPhoto 09 and 11: spinning beach ball of death when accessing contextual menu.

Whenever I right click to access the contextual menu, iPhoto gives me the spinning beach ball of death. This happens only when I right click on a photo from the events in the iPhoto library. It freezes for a few seconds then the spinning ball appears.
This happened in iPhoto 09 so I upgraded to iPhoto 11, but the problem is still there. I have deleted all files from the previous version before installing iPhoto 11 but it didn't solve the problem. Those files were application support files, cache and preferences all in the library. I have even created a new library in iPhoto 11 and imported a few photos just to test it out, but the problem persisted. I just can't right click without having that spinning beach ball of death appear. The only solution is to force quit the application. This is very frustrating and I would appreciate any help.
I am running Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
Thanks

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - try to launch iPhoto and check for any improvements.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Using DropBox and Mavericks

Hello,
I am posing this query because I thought that I knew how to create a link to a folder that I placed in DropBox. To be precise, here are the instructions for doing so from DropBox's website -
If you have the Dropbox desktop application on your computer, simply control-click (or right-click) on the file to open its contextual menu. Choose Share Dropbox link. The link will be copied and you can immediately paste it anywhere.
The window that should come up when you do this is, and I am also taking this from the DropBox website,
and great! You would obviously pick on the Share DropBox option. HOWEVER, when I follow these instructions with the folder that I want to create a link to, I get this window
what happened to the Share DropBox Link option? Is this somehow related to my recent upgrade to the Mavericks OS? Is creating a link to the folder done differently in Mavericks? Just in case you are wondering, the Share option in this window, when selected, gives us the choices of e-mail, messages and airdrop, none of which do what I want. Cany anyone help me with this problem of creating a link fo a folder in DropBox ?
Cheers
John

I had a problem with Dropbox where the the Dropbox logo on toolbar had a drop down menu with a picture of a folder and a circle to its right. In the past before Mavericks mucked up a lot of things that previously worked it said what each icon was for when you hovered over it.
The folder icon went to my local filder as usual but the cicle icon went to a Google search with Top Sites on the heading. I downloaded the latest Dropbox and checked in the local folder by clicking on an enclosed folder in the box (with control depressed) and in each case with 'share this folder', 'view on dropbox' or 'share this file', it went to the same Google sarch box with top sites as its heading.
It turned out that it was an Extension in Safari that was causing the problem. If you go to preferences in Safari and then click on Extension logo and switch off the slider and the Dropbox works then that is where the problem is. I then restored the slider and called up the extensions one by one and deleted them. There was never a problem before Mavericks. Also in Safari it used to list all the extensions and now you have to summon them up one at a time.
Mavericks really has a lot of built in problems that Apple should have sorted before releasing it and bugs that should have been resolved by now. I am very unimpressed with Apple's attitude over their problem causing and their inability or willingness to resolve issues. It's nice to have my iMac running well again but every issue takes up far too much time resolving it and nobody is paying me for all this hassle.
To be fair to Apple one of their staff discovered the problem whilst cruising around my sytem on a screenshare app, but if I had not had that help I would have been sunk as I have spent the whole day researching forums and Googling and absolutely nothing of any use turned up. It's only because I mangaed to get a support package out of Apple because of the incredible number of problems caused on my Mac that I got this help. If I had been on my own with this I would not have thought of that solution because it was never an issue pre Mavericks. Enough said.

Can't access in Finder Contextual Menu the sub-menu named More

Hi!
I was trying to learn how to use Automator, in the web page
http://www.macosxautomation.com/automator/examples/ex03/index.html
and I realize that I can't access in Finder Contextual Menu the sub-menu named More for choose Automator > Create Workflow... from the sub-menu.
Someone can help me to configure the finder in order to

That page is out of date since it doesn't reflect the change in Snow Leopard that did away with the More contextual menu. Try this. System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Services->Development->enable Create Workflow. Close the prefPane, select the object, CONTROL-click->Services->Create Workflow.
If that solves your issue, then send a message to the page's developer and ask them to update it.
BTW, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2241804 for a four-parter by Sal Saghoian on *Automation in Snow Leopard*

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

No "decrypt" choice in contextual menu - need to decrypt an encrypted external hard drive

I have a Firewire 800 external hard drive that I had previously encrypted using the contextual menu. I want to change the password on this drive so I'm trying to decrypt it and re-encrypt it while assigned a new password. I have Filevault 2 enabled on my iMac but this shouldn't affect this external drive. I also have a Firmware Password enabled on this iMac, but again, this shouldn't prevent a "decrypt" option in the contextual menu.
"Encrypt" is present in the contextual menu. When I attempt to use this option it appears to allow me to assign a new password. When I click "Encrypt" I get this message: "The target Core Storage volume is already encrypted." It's true that the drive is already encrypted, that's why I'm trying to decrypt it.
I'm running the latest version of Mountain Lion on a late 2012 iMac. I've searched online for someone with a similar problem, but haven't found this problem reference. Does anyone have any idea as to why "decrypt" is not an option on this external drive, but it is on similar external drives that are also already encrypted. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, Linc. By the way, I mistakenly said I had Filevault and Firmware turned on. Actually, they are NOT enabled on the iMac. Here's what I got in my Text Edit window:

Contextual menu on links in mail doesn't work

I had hoped that this annoying bug was fixed in release 10.10.1 of Yosemite. It is not and I have to ask the question.
There is a contextual menu in mail if you option click on a link:
The problem is: it doesn't work! All the three options do nothing. I submitted it to Apple but unfortunately it wasn't fixed. Somebody else has this problem and was able to fix it? It is quite annoying, like almost everything these days in Yosemite.
I've don't a clean install of Yosemite several times. Didn't fix.

Hi cchauvin08,
If you can't post your page on the web for others to see,
then perhaps you can paste the relevant markup/code. For example,
what type of inputs are you using? You said "text box" do you mean
a TextArea or a TextField? What does the widget constructor for
that particular validation field look like? What does the markup
look like, including the markup for the <form> tag?
We're going to need more info due to the fact that some of
these validation widgets have multiple configurations (types of
validation).

Contextual Menu Not Working

Hi!
My Contextual Menu doesn't work in Safari, nor in Mail - possibly not in other apps, as well, but I haven't really checked. For instance, say I select a word on a web page. If I try to "right-click" by putting down two fingers on the pad and clicking - nothing happens. Also, if I hover over a word, and do <controlcommandd>, no Dictionary pop-up. Dictionary is the main thing I use the CM for, but no other options are available.
It used to work, but I don't know what I might've done to change this. I've tried clearing CM items from both /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ and ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ and restarting, but no go. I can't think of anything I might've installed that would coincide with the problem. Any ideas, folks?

That's odd, I've only seen "system flippers" in relation to trying to open an older PPC app on an Intel.
Certainly the command for rebuild Launch Services should not give that.
I'd run Verify Disk from /Utilities/Disk Utility and also Repair Permissions and see what it turns up.
1. Navigate to Utilities/DiskUtility and launch Disk Utility.
2. Choose your volume (usually the second icon)
3. Choose "First Aid" tab
4. Click on "Repair Permissions"
Also run "verify" disk. If the disk needs repair:
Repair Disk:
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc or Install Disk 1 that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.) Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.
