I recently reinstalled MacTex on my mac (OS 10.8.4). The distribution of TexShop is new, version 3.26. For some reason, xelatex and lualatex have disappeared from the pull down menu of tex options. I've tried putting these lines at the top of the files:

% !TEX TS-program = xetex or % !TEX TS-program = xelatex

but my papers still won't tex. I've checked the path, there is a copy of xetex (xelatex) in that location. The paper will tex on a different machine which mysteriously has xelatex in the pull down menu. Can anybody help me to turn on that option?

  • If all else fails, attempt a complete re-install. It may take a couple of minutes, but it sure is shorter than the time you've been waiting for an answer. – Werner Mar 08 '14 at 07:25

Last time I've got something like it, I deleted the TeXShop folder of my personal library, quit and restarted TeXShop and it worked. (This Library is hidden by default in Mountain Lion but you can access it by opening the Go to menu, choosing the option Go to folder and then entering ~/Library.) In your case, maybe removing the Engines subfolder of this TeXShop folder and then quitting and restarting will be enough.
