Twitter disappeared from share list

Question

Twitter disappeared from share list

Bit strange, twitter has disappeared from the share options in Safari 8. When i click on the share button, it is no longer listed, and if i click on "more" it is not listed there unticked either. Not really finding alot on the internet about a similar problem.

I am on the latest Yosemite, and Safari.

This is the twitter share that comes with Safari rather than any extension i've download. So, it normally appears in the list with the others like Facebook, Linkedin, Airdrop etc.

any ideas?

thanks for reading

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Is Twitter enabled in System Preferences > Internet Accounts?

hi, thanks for the response, yes, in system preferences, i have twitter as an internet account, and it is signed in, and enabled, and twitter is working fine in other areas of the OS, i.e. notifications.

Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.

Does Twitter show up?

Turn those on one by one and test.

Thanks for the suggestion, sadly this made no difference. This is really strange. I haven't, to the best of my memory, changed or installed anything. Wondering if an update did it, but can't think that there were any significant updates at the time it disappeared. We all use the same macs, with same OS at work, and no one else has experienced the problem.

1. Empty Caches

Safari > Preference > Advanced

Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.

2. Delete Cookies

Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:

Click the "Details" button.

Select and "Remove" Twitter cookies.

Close the Preference window.

Restart the computer.

Thanks very much again, another good suggestion, but didn't work. Quite bizarre. Am considering re-installing yosemite, although am beginning to consider living without the twitter share for the moment. No other service has disappeared! Although since doing what you suggested, when clicking on 'more' there is now nothing in the list at all.
