How to find out what software was used to create a document?

Hello:
I was sent a file to work with and it was supposedly made using a Mac computer, but I can't open it. How can I find out what program was actually used to create this document. It ends with xxxxx.rsrc. I even tried to open it on my PC and it says there is no default application specified to open the document.
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried opening your file with Textedit?
Also, if you select the file from the Finder and type cmnd-I (Get Info), it should tell you what program can be used to open it.

How to find out which keywords were used to create a smart album?

Hi,
I actually have 2 questions;
a) Short of scrolling down my very long list of password on the HUD - is there an elegant way to do it - How to find out which passwords were used to create an existing smart album? It's a recurring challenge for me.\ 'cause I like using smart albums, but once in a while need to check or chane the passwords.
b) With annoying regularity when I try to get to this forum and choose Aperture, I get the following message - in pink, no less: It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake.
Any clues?
Thanks guys,

Raphael,
that message may occur for four reasons at least:
Most frequently, when you are using an outdated link to a post that no longer exists, for example from an email notofication. Sometimes our community host will remove posts, that are in violation of the terms of use: see:
Apple Support Communities Terms of Use
Or you are using the edit button or a bookmark to an "Edit" window, after the fifteen minutes allowed for editing are up.
Or you want to view a page in a restricted section of the ASC - soem perta are only open for members of level 6 or higher.
Or it is one of the unexplained problems with the forum software right now.

I really like Kirby's suggestion with the IPTC rule Keyword is. This is very useful for smart albums global to the library.
Frequently a different approach helps for my smart albums. Many of my smart albums are local to projects or folders. In this case the smart HUD will only show those keywords that have been used for the images in the selection. So if I only have tagged the images with the keywords "birds" and "slideshow", the smart settings HUD will only show these two keywords and the list is very short.
My Keywords HUD, is organized hierarchically; this way I can collapse large sections at once, and it is easier to focus on the keywords needed for a specific task.
I use the search field in HUD a lot, to filter the set of keywords shown.

Is there a way to find out what computer was used to make an order

I found some charges on my account that I did not make assuming that it was either my 14 year old son or soon to be ex-husband, is there a way to tell what computer was used to make the order?

Last update was 3/3/2011 which was the itunes update. So the problem must be w/the itunes update. Does anyone know how we can contact MAC to tell them of this problem?
It's highly doubtful there's a general problem caused by that update, or the forums would be full of similar posts. More likely, it's specific to your setup somehow.
Have you Restarted your Mac lately? If not, that's always worth a try.
Then, make sure there isn't a problem with the file system on your internal HD. Verify it, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
If that's ok, then as GfulDedFan says, run +*Repair Disk Permissions,+* per #5 there.
If that doesn't help, try connecting to your router via Ethernet cable instead of wireless, to rule out interference problems.
If you have the same results via Ethernet, you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your nearest Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Or call AppleCare at: (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

How can I find out what account was used for a Game Center ID?

I have multiple iPhones in my family. I have an Apple ID with a Game Center account.
My son also has a phone with a Game Center account.
I recently swapped phones around when I got the iPhone 4S. Also, we upgraded all of the phones in the house to iOS5.
I think as part of that process, all of the previous log in info was wiped.
Now, my son wants to log back in to his Game Center account, but we can't figure out what Apple ID we used?
I've tried the find my Apple ID links with no avail.
I know what his Game Center handle is... is there a way to track it via that ID?
Help!
Thanks

Nevermind... I figured it out. I just had to log in with the Game Center ID and it worked.
Thanks anyway.

How to find out WHAT PFILE IS USED?

I find that many spfile and pfile coexist in one system. How do I know
which one is used by the DBA to startup the database?
If the database is started, I can type "show parameter spfile" to
check the location of spfile. But it show nothing if pfile is used.
but what about pfile?

but what about pfile?From
http://www.dba-oracle.com/concepts/pfile_spfile.htm
==============================
Depending on which operating system you are running on,
your PFILE is located by default in the ORACLE_HOME\database
(usually the case on Windows) or ORACLE_HOME\dbs directory
for most other platforms (we talked about where ORACLE_HOME
was earlier in this book).
If you are using a PFILE, it takes on the form of initSID.ora, meaning
the file will use the ORACLE_SID you defined when you created the
database. If your SID is called testdb, the resulting PFILE should
be called inittestdb.ora
=============================
Now, what you should be able to do also is to
find the script that starts the database and find the
pfile that it points to.
You could do
find . -name "*.ora" -print
Oh yes, PLEASE, PLEASE put OS and DB versions
in your posts.

OIM11g: Is there a way to find out what method is used to create user

Hello,
I have a user pre-create event handler that gets called every time a user is created in OIM. In here, is there any way to find out if the user is created by self-service request, admin, or by an external client that used UserManager API? How can the Orchestration parameter be used to get this information?
Thanks

Once you have closed the file, the history in the palette is gone.

How to find out what modules are used

In /etc/rc.conf there are a lot of modules that are loaded that don't need to be, like modules related to OSS. Is there some command that'll show me what modules are being used at the moment and/or what they do?

Yes Thinkpad FTW! Back on topic; so there are three columns: Module, Size and Used By. In the used by column what do the different numbers mean?
I ran "lsmod | less" to be able to view each individual one. (That "| less" part is really useful)

How to find out what iviews are using a particular system

EP NW2004 SP 17
We are trying to see which iviews are associated with a particular system. I've tried using Content Admin -> Multiiple property Replacement. I add our corporate folder to the 'Selected Objects' -> click next. I then select 'iview' then 'system'. I then select radio button 'search objects by property value' and enter current value of the system in quest and new value with the same system in question. I get like 1,400 hits and the list can not be displayed.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
this was a really good idea. Since the list is so big, I could think of one other very simple way. Why don't you try to export the complete PCD content as a XML (via the [XML Content and Actions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/93/28f999daa6434a845da6bf9ab5072c/frameset.htm].) In the resulting file you should also be able to search for the system alias and from there get the iView (with the complete PCD path).
Of course there is certainly a way to develop some code which can do the same for you.
Regards,
Holger.

How to find out what program is using a file I am trying to delete?

I know I could probably just reboot and then empty my trash without getting this error- but this is a good chance to learn. So, I have a video file I converted with Handbrake. I deleted the file- but it won't let me delete it- saying it is in use (this is even after closing Handbrake). I have closed everything but it still gives me this error. Is there a way to see what program is grabbing it- a terminal command maybe?
thx

Open terminal, copy and paste the following
lsof
note- trailing blank space,
drag and drop your file from trash or from desktop to the open terminal window, and return.
example +lsof /pathtofile+

How can I tell what setting was used to create a received PDF?

I get PDFs all the time and I can't find a way of knowing if the PDF was created using Press Quality, Standard, Smallest File size other than just looking at it and zooming in.
Is there a menu item or trick that will tell me how this PDF was created?

The image was almost 9 inches by 7 inches at 300 ppi and I reduced it to about 3 inches wide in my document. I almost never blow-up images unless they can take it without losing resolution.
Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. I went to preflight > sheetfed offset, clicked on Analyze and got lots of readings. The one that said "Resolution of color and grayscale images is less than 150 ppi. This might be insufficient for proper print results." is the one that threw me.
It's too bad that I just can't read how the file was created. Most of clients I deal with make PDFs and never look at the settings they use. I'm in the printing business.
I've just been looking at the PDFs sent to me and zooming in to see if they'll hold up but I'd really like something more accurate.

How do i find out what app was deleted by mistake on my iphone 5?

How do I find out what app was deleted by mistake on my iphone5?

Do you mean that you deleted an app by mistake and you don't know which one it was?
Look for it in the Apps section of iTunes. If you used iTunes to sync your phone, just choose Install next to the app, then resync.
