Share button in Yosemite Safari not working, showing "No Service"

I followed the suggestion from the previous thread and have restarted several times. I do not have the share menu problem anymore. The only thing I cannot figure out is the weather widget and news on my notification center. Hope Apple will fix everything soon.

Sigh.

I note, with some dismay, that Apple have now removed the Chat option from their support pages.

I had tried several posts from earlier, but the following post from another thread fixed the issue.

Re: Sharing option shows “no service” (Yosemite)

So...as a quick update. To reset permissions which our issues are related to.

Restart, press command + R to boot into recovery. From the menubar on top choose Utilities -> Terminal.

In Terminal window type resetpassword . Press Enter.

A Reset Password window will appear.

Select your primary drive. Select your username from Select the user account box.

Type new password.

On the bottom of the window it says Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click Reset button.

Click  -> Restart from the menubar.

Same problem here. Both in Safari and when selecting files to Share through email. "No Service."

C'mon Apple!

as it's not clear if apple really reads that here do yourself and others the favour and send a bug report using the apple-feedback

https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

i did that too - and described how i solved it

Already did.....and I'd recommend everyone else do the same.

Cheers, verstaerker.

Just to let everyone know - Apple Support eventually fixed this issue completely for me, after a lot of back and forth. I went to the support page for Yosemite via the App Store and did a live Chat session with a Senior adviser.

The problem is related to missing System Extensions after upgrading to Yosemite - the Adviser gave me a line of code to paste into the Terminal App (sorry, but I didn't get the chance to copy it) which cleared the System extensions and reinstalled them, this time with all the missing ones. Simple as that. I could now go in and check which widgets I wanted to see in my Shares and Notifications.

Once I'd done it, everything is working the way it should - Notification Centre shows all the correct settings, share button in Safari, everything. The Advisor shared my screen while I did a Reboot, everything still there as it should be.

I really recommend anyone with this issue takes the same route I did.

This is really great news. Maybe you could go back into Terminal and type history followed by a press of the RETURN key to display a history of all the terminal commands that were recently keyed in. That way you could share the code they had you paste in.

Thanks, I'd never used Terminal before and was unaware you could do that. Anyway, here's the command I was given:

Close Extension Window then in Terminal -

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed

I was told to wait a few minutes until it finished doing whatever it does; when you see the $ pop up, close Terminal, reopen Extensions and select whatever you want to use in your shares and notifications.

Hope it works for you!

Thanks! Trying it now

Word of warning to others -- using copy/paste from a discussion board post can introduce a space in the text that doesn't belong there. In my case -- it added a space in the "LaunchSe vices" portion of the path (it should be "LaunchServices"). I took out the space and it is performing the script now -- it's in the process of registering all the plug-ins now

It took a bit more than 30 minutes to complete (I have a lot of stuff on my drive -- a 1.5TB drive in the MacBook Pro), but it did finish and only threw two errors that it had on parsing a few non-Apple bundles and I'm not worried about those.

From looking at the isregister command-line tool's help, I can see what this did is to completely rebuild the Launch Service Database (-kill resets it before starting and -seed scans the default locations for applications and libraries to register)

I tried it, it worked, but after restarting I lost the Share Services again. Those services are available when I login as Guest User. Apple Support proposed clean install from recovery disk and resetting the computer from Time Machine, a solution I'm not willing to follow concerning a function that can be achieved otherwise. I'm waiting for Apple's update.

Great!

In my case, I was trying this on a practically new / clean iMac, so it only took seconds. I've restarted several times and it's still all good.

I have been on the phone with Apple. They have a new support doc posted about this today: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite

To save you a click, paste this into Terminal (all one line) and hit Return. You don't need to sudo this command:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed

This gives you a line of code to paste and execute in Terminal. It fixed my Sharing Service issues. It did not fix my Notification Issues. I have not seen if the fix survives a reboot, but it was a fairly complex routine that patches all the plugins, so I suspect their fix is a lot better than the kooky ones we've all been trying.

Let me know if it works for you.

Brilliant, the only fix that has worked to date. Thanks very much for posting and your research. I hope it lasts . Wonder what happened to to the UAT for the upgrade?
