Finder issue: Compress option missing from right-click menu and greyed out in File menu

How can this be, and - more importantly - what can I do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

You mean this ThisService?  Never heard of it before.
Why don't you create services using Automator (in /Applications)?  That's one of the things it is designed to do.  It has no problem with making sure they are properly created and installed in ~/Library/Services so that the finder can see them there under the conditions desgnated when you create them.  You don't even have to log out and back in.
Note, if you like using applescript you can use applescript in automator too.

  • Combine PDF feature missing from right click option Acrobat Pro 9/Windows 7

    I combine PDF's all day long and need this feature. I had it on my old computer and since moving over to the new computer I do not have the option to combine PDF's when right clicking on PDF documents. I have searched the forum and found other fixes, however none have worked, I have uninstalled and re-installed three times as well and no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas for fixes for this. I need this feature.....

    Found this it worked for me :
    http://acrobatusers.com/forum/pdf-creation/right-click-option-combine-supported-files-miss ing a known issue caused by the context menu handler not being registered (tends to result from patches and installs when Windows UAC is active).
    It's
    From the Start menu, choose 'All Programs' > 'Accessories, and *right-click* on 'Command Prompt'Select 'Run as Administrator' and approve the UAC window (if one is displayed)
    If you have 64-bit Windows, in the command window type the following and press Enter, including the quotes:
    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
    On 32-bit Windows, type this instead:
    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu.dll"
    You should see a message saying it was successful. Close the command prompt window, and your context menus should be back up and running. .

  • Services missing from right click menu?

    I was trying to install some services that I created using applescripts and ThisService. The problem I'm having is that Services is not available in the menu when I right click on a folder or file. Looking under Keyboard in the system preferences, I can see all of the different services that are availible. I have the ones I'd like to use checked but no services appear in the menu when I right click. I've tried resetting defaults in the preferences, logging in and out, restarting and nothing helps. I found another post that said open terminal and run this /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs. When I enter that in the terminal, I get this message "No languages specified - assuming English" and nothing changes. I'm running 10.6.8 and I know that Services used to be avalible in the menu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
    There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
    Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
    Good luck.

  • Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.

    Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.  There is now only a short three item menu:
    Previously there was a longer menu (like the one when right clicking an item on a Safari page):
    I've looked in Preferences and at all the Mail dropdown items but can't find any way to get the old menu back (or why it changed).  In particular, I miss the "copy image" item which allowed me to copy an item image into a new email for forwarding.  I've got two email accounts, an IMAP and a POP.  The behavior is the same with both.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Your screen shots are not visible to me.  But I think I understand your question.
    Several thoughts come to mind:

    You can still, of course, simply forward the entire email message containing the image.
    You could also use the "Save Attachment ..." feature available when you right click and copy and paste from there once the image is saved.
    Less likely, you could also use the "Share" feature available when you right click, though I suspect it may not offer sharing options that you would like.

  • Bluetooth missing from Ctrl + Click menu since SL upgrade

    I used to be able to Ctrl + Click a file and one of the menu options was to send it to a Bluetooth device. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard this option appears to be gone.
    Is there a way to get this back or have Apple removed a great time saving feature?
    (Bluetooth appears OK in Preferences and the toolbar at the top but not this menu)

    Yes same Right Click Bluetooth accessibility is missing ...very annoying like other problems... I'm a former windows user but I have to say windows right click functionality is superior, you can right click anything and then go from there... Apple, Please sometimes I don't want to press short key strokes to get something done I want Short key strokes and Right click Menu options just Like windows... Thank you.

  • "Deploy" Option Missing from VS

    We just finished installing SharePoint 2013 RTM and VS 2012 for development purposes. I also installed the Preview 2 of the Office and SharePoint Dev Tools. The "Deploy" option which was previously present in Visual Studio to deploy SharePoint projects seems
    to have disappeared. Oddly, I can however still tell the projects to Debug, which does the equivalent of Deploy + starts the debugger.
    This is an extremely annoying issue as it is much faster to Deploy without starting the debugger. If anyone has any solution I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

  • Removing "Open With [Program]" from Right-Click menu

    I was looking around for Applications that could play .avi files and I found Perian  so decided to install it. After installing it I quickly found that it didn't work with all of my .avi files and after some further reading realized that Perian is no longer supported and apparently does not work with QT 10. I decided to uninstall it and use VLC player instead. After uninstalling Perian and removing it from the "System Properties" it looks like it's still showing up in the right-click menu for .avi files.
    My question is how do I remove this from being an option whenever I right-click an .avi file? Perian is no longer installed and I don't want to see it as an option.
    Thanks in advance

    This is probably because all the associated files have not been removed and it is still in the LaunchServices cache. To be sure you remove all associated files may require re-installing the app and using AppCleaner  to trash it and it's supporting files.
    Then, you may also need to clear LaunchServices caches
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the prompt to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

    Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
    Or do what hannahsage said above.
