OnyX, nice as it is, didn't work for me. PBS seemed to hang. I'l try it again as this would be a much more elegant solution than logging out. Logging out has worked consistently.

I've had this problem since installing 10.6. Have tried all manner of solutions the only one that worked being logging out & back in which is an ugly solution & one I resented no end. Especially as I was usually halfway through something. I even brought it up in the Apple shop once, receiving the inevitable & immortal "Third party software, can only suggest an erase & install". Which in my experience seems to be Genius bar solution to most problems. Anyway, like the man said, your pbs trick works like a charm. No need to ever log out & back in again unless I want too. Cheers. Nice one. I’ve had this problem since installing 10.6.

Took no time either. This problem had been with me occasionally, usually after a re-boot perhaps? Had tried using MainMenu again just before this to "Rebuild LaunchServices" It came up with two identical error reports that might help to zero in on things ... CoreEndianFlipData: error -4940 returned for rsrc type open (id 128, length 12, native=no) The operation in MainMenu took a couple of minutes to complete too. I had noticed (and ignored these two errors) when doing general cleanups with MainMenu over the past few months. pbs tool – Just the ticket for me too! Took no time either.

Anyone else have the Services issue and also perhaps has used a program to free up more hard drive space?

Anyone else have the Services issue and also perhaps has used a program to free up more hard drive space?
