I have Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. I have PGP Desktop installed on both. On the Mac Pro, PGP Desktop functions show up in the Finder Services menu which allows me to encrypt a file with a control-click on the file. On my MacBook Pro, when I control-click on a file, there is no "Services" choice available. How do I get the "Services" menu to show up?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
See if the item is listed in the Services preferences. If it's there it's checkbox needs to be checked. In the Finder, go to the Finder menu and select the Services hierarchical menu and in its submenu select Services Preferences. Look at the appropriate category and items in the right pane of the window that comes up. Look for your missing service there. If not there perhaps there is some pgp preference you set in one machine and not the other.
The services I want to appear in the Services are in the Services Preferences and are checked. There isn't anything related to this in the PGP preferences. But the PGP preferences are identical between my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro.
Not sure then. Are the kinds of files you are trying to apply pgp to the same?
If you're seeing no Services menu at all, launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the text below into the window, and press return. You can then quit Terminal.
/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs
wow, this answered my question before I even asked it.
I now have the services menu with services.
What caused them to disappear? what exactly does the pbs in this command do?
Why do you have to drag or paste it in instead of typeing it? 😕
Finder Services menu missing
