[SOLVED] What does the colon symbol in package versions mean?

For example:
extra/gnome-desktop 1:3.10.1-1
What is 1:? I've only seen this on pacman, is this an Arch thing?
Also, just kind of hijacking my own thread, is the -1 an Arch thing too? What does it mean? Minor revision, something like that?

The '1:' is the epoch, '-1' is the release. Yes, it's an Arch thing.

    What does the wifi symbol on the bottom left of photos in iPhoto signify?  I believe that whatever this signifies is preventing me from syncing an album with my iPad and iPhone.

    It means the Photos are not in your Library but instead read from an online source.

  • What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
    text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it  + also
    supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
    •About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
    { did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
    You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
    Here's an official support topic page about it.
    •OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
    That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
    Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
    Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What does the folder with a question mark mean?

    When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

    You will need to reinstall:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    That you may have jailbroken your phone. You may have used that computer to jailbreak a phone. You may have a bad hosts file on the computer because of that.

  • HT201272 What does the " downloaded and lil cloud icon mean in my purchased history

    What does the downloaded saying and lil cloud icon mean in my purchased history ? Why I am asking is cause some of the ones that say downloaded are not on my cell.

    If you are looking in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app then 'downloaded' should mean that it is downloaded and on your phone (you've tried searching for them via the phone's spotlight search screen ?), the cloud symbol indicates that it is in the cloud and can be downloaded from there onto the phone
