MacGourmet Icon

Why doesn't my Services menu have the MacGourmet services?

Q: I don't see the Make MacGourmet Text Clipping item in the Services menu. What's going on?

A: Snow Leopard Users: If you are using Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), support for Mac OS X Services changed and they are totally configurable now. You do have to explicitly add your MacGourmet Services menu items to your Services menu though, they are no longer there by default. To do this:

1. Open the Services Preferences from the Services menu in any app, the usual one being Safari.

2. Then, look for the MacGourmet menu items, "Import Recipe From Web Page" and "Import Text Clipping" and check the boxes next to them.

3. Close Preferences, and that should be it, the MacGourmet Services have been enabled.

Leopard Users: To add the Make MacGourmet Text Clipping menu to the Services menu, all you have to do is start up MacGourmet. However, sometimes getting the menu to display is not this simple. If you do not see the menu item in Services, try copying MacGourmet to the system Applications folder. You can also try logging out, and restarting if that still doesn't work. You might even try restarting two times if the service still does not show up.
