Is there a tool to find out what my program really wants?

Sometimes an application won't start, claiming "Could not find (File Name).(ext)".
You know where the file is but apparently your application doesnt.
Is there a tool to find out where the program was actually looking for the needed file? So maybe you could simply put the file(s) where the program is looking for them?
Thanks, M:A:

HI Martin,
Ok, in order for a program or application to open a file it can read it has to be told how to do that. Say for example you have a file you want to open and the extension is .jpg. You simply select that file so that it is highlighted, then press Command + I. A window will open. Look down where it says:
Open With. There's a pop up menu. In this case you could choose iPhoto to open your .jpg files. Or, say it's a text file and the extension is rtf. Select that file, press Command + I, click Open With and click Text Edit. These are just examples.
Also, here's a link to information to help you when an applications unexpectedly quits:

Hope this helps!

Is there any way to find out what brush is applied to a path?

I'm trying to write a script: select some paths, run the script, then each path that has a brush applied to it is changed to use a random brush whose name is sufficiently similar to its current brush. The application is pretty obvious - draw a bunch of lines in, say, 'ragged marker 1', then give it some extra liveliness by having five or six 'ragged marker' brushes that get randomly chosen.
The problem I'm running against is that as far as I can tell, Illustrator only lets Javascript set what brush an object is using with brush.applyTo (artItem), but I can't seem to find any way to find out what path a brush is currently using via JS.
Am I just not looking in the right place of the Javascript reference, or is this really a thing that only has a setter, with no corresponding getter?

Just like you said earlier

Is there any way to find out what a specific line of data usage was for?

There is a line on my bill for 97 MB of usage while I was bowling? I was not using my phone. How can I find out what it was doing for that specific charge?

Is there a way of finding out what has been accessed on my MacBook Pro whilst in the possession of an apple authorised service centre?

Hi Guys,
I'm a bit new to this discussion group thing although I've been using Macintosh computers for many years (showing my age).
I handed my MacBook Pro to be repaired at an authorised apple service centre. When I handed it in they said they needed to keep hold of it to run some diagnostics and requested my password. I've owned various models of mac for the the past 17 years and this is the first hardware problem I have encountered, hence I have never bothered to set up user accounts.
As I live in quite a remote part of Sweden I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web. Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Thanks!
PS: I've already thought about the 'recently opened' menu and The machine in question is a MacBook Pro 17" (2011) running OS X 10.6.8 (need Rosetta).

If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
Have you lost your mind?
Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.

If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

Is there a way of finding out what lists in sharepoint are being looked up for document templates etc

Hi,
I am currently in the middle of setting up SharePoint sites and have come across many lists that have not been updated for a while. I am wondering is there a way of finding out what lists are being used and what lists aren't being used for example I would
like to find out if a list is being used for a look up.

I don't think there any such option available OOTB, however you can use PowerShell to get such information e.g.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://localhost
$f = $web.Lists["Contact"].Fields["Customer"]
$f.ListsFieldUsedIn()
$web.Dispose()

Amazing, I can't find out what app on my phone just ran 388mb of data xfer at 2:44am yesterday while I'm sound asleep yet the LE types can subpoena and search warrant anything I do online and with who and for how long. Verizon list who I receive phone calls from and make calls to and from where I receive messages and to whom/where I text but can't tell me squat about something that is eating up band width. I'm sure it's probably some app that is running in the background on my phone. I've just got to figure out what it is and kill it. I want to drop (cause I don't use it, it's slower than a dial up 1200bps modem)my data plans and save about $50 a month.

How to find out what attributes were really changed in AD?

It it possible to find out what changes were really made in Active Directory resource?
Example:
I set two attributes: 'groups' and 'company'. One of groups doesn't exist or user(specified in resource configuration) dosn't have permission to add this group. Result of provisioning: idm set company, set other groups and there is error message in WF_CASE_RESULT. In audit log I see correct data - all attempted groups are in 'attempted value' and saved groups are in 'new value'.
So the question is:
Is it possible to find out what really happend - what groups were saved and what groups weren't (or maybe none of attributes were saved)?

When one of groups doesn't exists I got "Error opening object 'LDAP://CN=...,OU=...': ADsOpenObject(): 0X80072030: , 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001CD, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of: 'OU=...' , There is no such object on the server. "
The problem is: WF_CASE_RESULT doesn't contain what groups were added and what groups weren't (at least I can't find this information). Maybe I can find it by analyzing errors, but I don't think it's good solution because there are a lot of errors that can happen and I need to know error messages for all of them.

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.

Is there a way to find out what apps belong to a certain account

I am having problems updating my apps. I love that little Update All button in iTunes but it is rather useless when there is at least one app mixed in that came from another account. When iTunes hits this one app it stops checking all the rest for updates. It also does not tell me which is the offending app. The update all process also seems to go in a seemingly random order making it hard to figure out which app is the hard stop.
What i would like to know is if there is a way for me to find out, without checking this other account's purchase history, which app belongs to what account.
I currently have apps from 4 accounts in my iTunes library and need to wheedle out one accounts apps.
Thanks!
John

Hello Disgustotron,
If you have apps that are stored within iTunes, you can view what Apple ID is associated with them. Just right click on them an in the Summary tab, it will show what account is associated with that app. That will be the easiest way to find what you are looking for.

Is there a way to find out what each file in core does?

I would like to know if there is a way to know what the packages in [core] does (i.e., even during install)? If I re-install, I only want to install the packages that I need. There are some packages that I understand from experience, such as Wifi for wireless and some from experience from other Linux distros as well, but there are other particulars I don't know about. TIA

run pacman -Qi pkgname for each package you want to learn about. The Description at the bottom should give you enough information for your purposes. You can also see if its required by anything else that's installed.
You could, of course, write a script that does this for all files in [core], snips out the descriptions, and cats them to a file.
