Services lost

Hi.
I got this bigger problem.
Somehow I have lost all my services.
I wondered why some services I had created were not working, and some that already came created with the system do not answer.
Well, I went to the System Preferences and checked the Keyboard Shortcuts sections where the Services are displayed to the left and to my surprise there is none service listed at all, they were all deleted.
Is there a way to recuperate them?
Thanks!
 
In OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), no services will appear, except those that can be used for the purpose. The services menu is totally contextual.
If your services menu says : "No services apply"
double-click on any word on this web page, so that word is selected, then try the services menu. You should then see a variety of services that can be used with that selection. Is that working?
 
Well, I shut down the computer to do something else. Now that I check there they are. How weird, I know how Services work, I made a service to select images and transform them into a .pdf file, that option disappeared and now is back.
Thanks!
 
Good enough!
I thought that your services menu just went blank, and offered a suggestion that the contextual menu will only display services that are usable at the time.
If you created a new service, then the restart was likely needed. A restart is always a good next step when strange glitches seem to appear.
Glad to hear that you're working OK!
