Help: Services menu in Greek! Literally

I've been using Lion since it was released. All of a sudden this morning, the services menu is in gibberish regardless of whether it's in Safari, Microsoft Outlook, etc. I've gone to  systems preferences - language & text and the selected, now only, language is english.
Can anyone help?

  • 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!

  • Services Menu

    On clicking services menu, say in TextEdit, on my i7 Snow Leopard I get a very short list (3) compared to my G5 PowerMac (20). Is this normal?

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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..
    Thanks,

  • Services Menu for a Newbie...why are the things i want to do, gray?

    I transitioned from windows to Mac not too long ago and never figured out how to use the Services Menu in OS X application menus. Whenever I tried to say, mail the current page I'm looking at in Safari; I do what feels natural and choose Safari, Services, Mail and then wanting to chose Send To, but it's grayed out. I have searched Help and the Forums but I'm striking out. Can someone point me to a tutorial or something to help me get the most out of OS X in using the tools in the Services Menu? thanks for your patience.
    ed

    The Services Menu changes depending on the features of the app you're using. If you choose Mail from Safari (as in your example) Send To and Send Selection will be grayed out. However, if you choose some text and then repeat the process, your selection will open and be pasted in Mail.
    David Pogue, The Missing Manual is an excellent comprehensive manual on Leopard.
    I would also suggest you take a look at Mac 101 and Switch 101. There's a wealth of info there. There are a couple of additional references to Services Menu, here and here.

  • Services menu killed

    For some odd & unknown reason my 'services' menu appears to have been killed. It now says 'building' in grey text. At the same time in the prefpane System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, the 'services' entry is empty.
    I have since logged out - didn't help; restarted the machine, didn't help. I've checked under a new user account, it has the same issue.
    Running 10.6.2.
    Any other ideas out there to bring that services back to life ? Launchctl wizardry or other terminal commands ?
    (most mentions of the issue on this board suggest a restart, it really didn't help in my case)

    Why? No idea. Sorry. Yes, back up all important data.
    Make sure and repair disk permissions after the Archive & Install ...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Services menu dies

    I'm having trouble with my services menu. It constantly winds up with nothing enabled.
    I've run cocktail twice. Each time it manages to re-enable the services menu, and things work.
    Later, the services are all dead again.
    I don't know why it keeps dying.
    Symptoms: Everything is greyed out. Even when I have text selected/highlighted, nothing that works on text is enabled.

    Hi, keybounce.
    1. What Cocktail function did you use? Cache cleaning?
    2. I see from some of your other recent posts re: "kernel tick" that you may be hacking your system. Not advisable.
    3. What changes did you make to your Mac before the problem arose?
    4. See if a third-party Startup or Login Item may be the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
    5. Likewise, some third-party application may be killing Services. See if the problem arises after you launch a particular application. If so, the application may have a bug: check for updates, contact the developer, etc.
    6. Here's some general information for you concerning Services:• Most Carbon applications do not support services: only Cocoa applications. Test for the problem using TextEdit to see if it is also affecting Cocoa-based applications.
    • This may be the result of altering the structure of the /Applications folder or other critical, System-related folders, such as /Library/Services. One should never alter the structure of these folder, such as by moving applications into new subfolders within /Applications
    • In Console, you may also see the message:
    Lookup in pbs of server "com.apple Services Server" failed.
    The "pbs" reference in the console messages you're seeing refers to "pasteboard services" which is the Clipboard. This is launched as part of configuring user sessions.
    • Most Services exchange data through the pasteboard (clipboard), as described in the System Services documentation.
    • Most applications have an info.plist file as part of their bundle. This file is how the application "advertises" the service(s) it provides: if the application provides Services, then there are entries in this file describing such.
    • The Services menu is populated by Mac OS X by collecting the information from all info.plist files in selected directories, including /Applications and /Library/Services. This is described in more detail here.Good luck!

  • Services Menu crashing every application

    Whenever I try to go to the Services Menu from whatever application I am in, that app immediatel crashes, including Finder. What could be causing that? I didn't do this a few days ago.
    Could this be a font issue? Or Spelling? Those are about the only things I have altered since I last tried to use the menu.
    Please help!

    1. Could be a font issue. What font changes did you make?
    2. Likewise, what changes in Spelling did you make?
    Good luck!

  • Services menu says NO SERVICES APPLY

    Hi,
    How do you change the preferences for Safari to turn on the services menu?
    I have checked all the preferences in the services preferences, and I still get the greyed out menu saying NO SERVICES APPLY.
    Where are all the services?
    C

    Sorry, Thank you for your continued help...
    In fact I know how to do screen shots, that is not the problem. I am trying to use the services menu to access another application that can do a screen shot of the entire web page - however long it is. It manages to capture even the areas outside the screen. So its useful to create mini versions of my websites to use on my own website.
    So what SHOULD happen is that the menu for SnapWeb, should appear in the services menu, so I can use this feature, so effectively NOTHING would be selected on the page.
    I can see what you mean, by selecting something on the web page, as this also displays the SnapWeb menu. It just does not appear if nothing is selected.
    In the pre-Snow Leopard days the Services menu used to have all its items shown all the time regardless of whether anything was appropriate, Greying out the ones that were not appropriate.
    Never mind, I have found a work-around, its just annoying as I thought this was meant to be a feature of SnapWeb.
    Kind Regards

  • Vietnamese Language Support Services Menu Convert Encoding from Unicode-VNI

    I am running :
    Macbook 13 unibody
    Clean install Snow Leopard
    I have Vietnamese input method in Languages and Input Method Systems Preferences on
    Problem :
    When I was running Leopard, I somehow was able to see in the Services Menu "convert from unicode to vni," and other encodings, and vice versa while working in TextEdit, MS Word, and other applications that supported it.
    After doing a new and clean install on my machine. I am no longer able to see these options in the Services Menu, nor am I able to even find where and how to enable this in Systems Preferences.
    Please HELP HELP HELP it was an absolute life saver for me to work with all the different encodings and input methods for Vietnamese language.

    omg that was it. I had already installed the app from that link but it didn't show up in services because I guess I didn't log out properly for the installation to finish putting the service items on. & since I wasn't able to find the services after installation I assumed it must have been a part of the Leopard. Because you suggested, I installed again, and logged out as I was supposed to, and voila, the Vietnamese encoding conversion items for Services Menu. thanks you.

  • Reordering services menu

    It's been several OS X iterations since the introduction of Services.  While I know you can enable/disable them from the Keyboards Pref Pane, is there still no way to group or reorder them?  Third party or otherwise?

    George,
    This is from Apple's Help menu and should explain what services are.
    Some applications provide “services” that let you use features of that application while working in another application. For example, the Mail service in the Finder opens the Mail application so that you can email a file directly from the Finder without opening the Mail application separately.
    To use an application’s services:
    Select what you want to work with (such as a file or some text), and then choose the service you want to use from the application menu.
    For example, to email a document on your desktop, select the file you want and then choose Finder > Services > Mail > Send File.
    If the service is dimmed, you may have selected something that doesn’t work with that particular service. Try selecting something else and check the menu again.
    Publishers have to write their software to take advantage of Services, but many don't.
    To answer your question, you cannot get rid of the Services menu item, so just ignore it.

  • 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

  • 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.
