Missing Share Options

For some reason, I have no items in the Sharing Extensions so every application that has a share button only shows "No Service" item.

I tried to use the terminate trick mentioned in the community support and it didn't help.

Please advise.


Thanks

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, VDrumAce.
If I understand your post correctly, when you click the Share button from an app on your MacBook Pro you see a No Service message. Being able to easily share is a great feature of macOS. I'd like to help.
Click the Apple Menu () > System Preferences > Extentions > Share Menu and check the apps you'd like to be able to use to share. If you're unable to make selections here, make sure you're logged in as an Administrative user.
To learn more about Extentions, check out this article:
macOS Sierra: Extensions System Preferences
Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.

Apple recommends the Terminal command sequence in their If Share options or Markup is mssing after upgrading article. Triple-click the scrollable window for selection, then copy/paste into an open Terminal window. The command will finish almost instantly. Reboot.


Afterward, revisit System Preferences : Extensions : Share menu, and see if you can now select the sharing items you need. If not, post back and I have stronger medicine for this task.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.


Isolating an issue by using another user account


If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer or by using the developer’s uninstall instructions. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.
