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.

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.

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()

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

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.

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

Is there a way to find out ALL the files an FCP project uses?

Okay. Firstly, I'm an idiot. I don't know why, but at the START of the project, I didn't think I'd end up with so many little tiny bits and pieces... so I didn't really plan the organization of this thing. (My next project will be meticulously organized, I can assure you.)
But, here I am, and here's my problem.
I've got a pretty big project I've been working on for six months that's probably taking up 250 GB of space on my computer (spread over two 350 GB hard drives). It includes 125 GB of source footage, hundreds of little Motion projects (including various "drafts" of each one), PSD images, LiveType files, an assortment of Soundtrack Pro files, AIFFs, exported clips from all the various cuts of the project, etc etc etc. Stupidly, I always saved things in different folders, using a system and thought process that "seemed like a good idea at the time".
Problem is, now that I'm (nearly) finished with the thing, I need to archive the "final cut", and all it's many source files (such as Motion projects, which may need to be edited later if this project gets sold into foreign markets, etc).
Suddenly, I realize how important Organizational Skills really are.
But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or something) of every single file.
The idea is, I would then move ONLY those files to a newly-organized filing system, which could be easily archived/backed-up. It would also be great to keep the RENDER files, too, so that I won't have to re-render everything when I pull it out of cold storage.
Am I dreaming an impossible dream?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

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 computer was used to make an order

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)

Is there a way to find out what the exe is?

I just got my new macbook pro, and copied, uploaded some old cd's of mine.
problem is, some are videos some are photos and some are documents.
I managed to title a .jpg on some photos successfully, and they worked. Now I can view them and I saved them that way.
But the rest, man...(sigh) this is a part of cyber world that I am not used to.
I don't know weather to title stuff .gif, .sit, .doc...I mean really. Im shooting in the dark over here.
there are so many .whatever's- how in the heck can you know what to do with these files?
Is there a way to discern what type of file it is. Besides just a windows exe file that is obviously not recognized by mac?
thanks everyone.
-novice.

If the files were created on a Mac they should have their signature information, even without the filename extension.
If you have files that don't have any signature information you can try using the command line utility file:
file /path/to/some.file
It will look at the file and try to identify it's type. From there you should be able to discern what kind of document it is.
