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!

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.

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.

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.

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

User Presets removed from right-click menu? Why???

I updated to LR CC 2015 yesterday and it appears that User Presets are no longer available in the right-click menu under Develop Settings. Am I missing something? Why in the world would they do this? I am used to being able to grab a series of exposures for an HDR and apply a pre-export preset before sending them to Photomatix Pro. I don't want to do this on import, because I shoot a mix of single exposures and bracketed sets, and I use different pre-Photomatix settings depending on the type of image and the style I'm going for in the final result. Without the right-click option (which was already causing issues in 5.7), I now have to move my cursor over to my presets on the left side of the screen, apply the desired preset to the selected image, then move all the way across the screen to Sync the rest of the highlighted exposures, then go back to the right-click menu to export them to Photomatix. What a complete pain. The new HDR merge is nice for doing very natural HDRs of static subjects like architectural interiors, but it falls far short of the versatility and look of Photomatix Pro, and the deghosting is woefully inadequate compared to the robust options available in PP. And, frankly, the whole program runs a whole lot slower than 5.7 did. I'm feeling like my subscription was a huge waste of money.

Activate Panel from right-click menu

Hi,
I'm developing a PlugIn with InDesign SDK CS6 and need to activate (?, not really sure if this is the right term) the panel from somewhere else (right-click menu [RtMouseDefault]). Basically, like the Mini Bridge panel is activated when you right-click on a picture->Graphics->Show in Mini Bridge.
I played around a bit but wasn't able to find a solution (guess I need to do something with my instance of the class PalettePanelView (?)), so would be glad if somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks, kind regards

Oooops, thats because it was one of mine.
P.
===========
HideShowPanelByID ( WidgetID w )
InterfacePtr<IApplication> iApplication(GetExecutionContextSession()->QueryApplication());
InterfacePtr<IPanelMgr> iPanelMgr(iApplication->QueryPanelManager());
if (!iPanelMgr->IsPanelWithWidgetIDShown(w))
iPanelMgr->ShowPanelByWidgetID(w);
else
iPanelMgr->HidePanelByWidgetID(w);

SAP BW 7 - Call URL from Right Click Menu

Is it possible to make a http call from the right click menu? I know this was possible in 3.5, but the new code seems to have limited my ability to edit the options that appear when I right click on a field and I need to make a call out to another web server for some external data. Is this possible?
Any information that anyone has about a potential work around would be great!!
Thx.

Kristine,
Have you tried using RRI (Transaction RSBBS)? You can call URL , pass values etc.

Quick MD5 values from right-click menu?

Is there a way to easily generate MD5 values for files in OS X? Ideally I would like to see MD5 values in the "Info" for a file or in the right-click menu.

Not from the Finder. In Terminal, just use the command "md5"<pre>md5 filename</pre>

Remove an item from right-click menu?

How do I remove an item from a right-click menu? An application I installed but later removed placed an item on my right-click menu. I want to remove the right-click item it placed there. I've looked in .../user/library/contextual menu and /library/contextual menu but don't see anything there that suggests it might be related.
Thanks.

I suddenly realized this was a FireFox Add-on. Once I realized that it was easy to go to Add-on menu in Firefox and remove it.
Problem solved.

Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

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. .

Template vis from right click menu

Hi all,
I've searched and could not find any posts with this situation. I have made a template vi, and saved it in a subdirectory in Labview's built-in templates folder. Then, I've added it to a new palette so that I can access this template quickly and base a new vi on it.
My problem is: when I click this template in my new palette, the template gets placed as a subvi in my blank diagram, and the icon has a blue "T" on it. If I double click this icon it opens the template itself.
What I want: when I click the template in the palette, I want to place the template's block diagram on a blank diagram that I already have open.
If I double click the vit in Windows Explorer, it opens a new vi with my template in it (which is good, but I don't want to have to click from Windows all the time).
Is there a setting or property that I missed? I know this is possible, I've seen it done with other custom templates (such as the JKI Toolkit templates).
Thanks,
Don
Solved!

They used to be called Merge VI's so I found it using a different search.

"Browse in Adobe Bridge" from Right Click Menu

Adobe Suite CC2014
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
In earlier versions of Adobe Bridge, if you right context a folder, "Browse in Adobe Bridge" was an item.
This no longer appears to be the case.
Is there a Preference setting to make this occur?
Thanks in advance.

How to know if delete series or occurrence in outlook 2010 in calendar from right click menu from UI?

I need delete one series in outlook 2010, but when check this item by
OlRecurrenceState recurState = olApptNotRecurring;
m_spItem->get_RecurrenceState(&recurState);
recurState is always occurrence. I want to know which menu item I selected "Delete Series" or "Delete Occurrence"?

Hello,
The
GetOccurrence method of the RecurrencePattern class returns a specific instance of the AppointmentItem object
on the specified date. Then you may call the
Delete method of the AppointmentItem class which removes the item from the folder that contains the item.
The Delete method moves the item from the containing folder to the Deleted Items folder.
If the containing folder is the Deleted Items folder, theDelete method removes the item permanently.
The
RecurrenceState property of the MailItem class returns an OlRecurrenceState constant
indicating the recurrence property of the specified object. You can use it to determine whether it belongs to the recurrence or exceptions and etc.
Be aware, when you work with recurring appointment items, you should release any prior references, obtain new references to the recurring appointment item before you access or modify the item, and release these references as soon as you are
finished and have saved the changes. This practice applies to the recurring AppointmentItem object, and any Exception or RecurrencePattern object.
Finally, you may find the
How To: Create a new recurring Outlook Appointment item article helpful.

Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

Hi!
I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
We are using version 11.1.2.1.
I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
What might cause this?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).
kind regards,
user637777
