How to check installed programs

Hello, is there a way to check if any programs have been installed on my iMac without me knowing. The other user has the password to the root account.
Thankyou

Hi, it may be difficult, but At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Software>Applications...
Of course if you think they may have installed Spyware or Key Loggers, that may be a different matter.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Optical drive won't install programs from CDs

I have a S300-EZ2501. I downgraded my installation from Vista Business to XP Pro.
My drive has stopped installing programs that come on CDs. I did not have this problem while loading all my software onto the laptop. Now, however, when I insert an installation CD into the drive, it attempts to read the CD, but cannot initialize the Autorun file, so nothing happens. I've tried running the install from the Run line, or by browsing to the file, but that does not work either. I also tried deleting the device from my system and reinstalling; that didn't work either.
Are there any registry settings for the optical drive that I can check? I want to make sure that the system is pointing to the correct location.
Thank you.

I tried to restore to earlier settings, but that did not help.
If I try to doubleclick on the executable file on the CD, the hard drive light goes on, but not the external drive light.
I'm starting to think this is a WindowsXP problem and not a drive problem. I copied the contents of one of the program CDs to my hard drive, and tried installing from that directory. When I double-click on the Setup.exe file, there is sporadic hard drive flashing light, but nothing happens. The programs install from .exe files and not .msi files, so its not a Windows Installer problem. What other settings can I check that affect running setup programs on the laptop?
As I'm typing this, all of a sudden the executable program screen appeared on the laptop (after about 10 minutes). Maybe it will install, but that's a very long time before it happens.
Nothing more happened (10 more minutes). When I closed the screens fromy my toolbar, I received a popup telling me that I am ending the "nonresponsive program 32-bit Setup Launcher." I think there is a problem with this file; when I tried to install other programs (16-bit, from earlier versions) and had to close them down, I received messages that the 16-bit system was unstable.
Is there a way to repair these files on my laptop? What might have destabilized them?
As a reminder back to the beginning of this thread, my laptop came with Vista Business installed, but I downgraded from the restore CD to WinXP Pro.

Installed programs "slow" to start and close

My OS is windows 8.1 pro. I have a dual-boot with win7 ultimate. Lately some of my installed programs, utorrent for one example takes longer to start than before. It also takes up to 45 seconds to close after clicking X button. Even my office2013 programs
are taking longer to load, they start, but will not open for 30 seconds. Is there any "errors" I should be looking for. What is the best way to check for system errors? I have basic computer skills, but I definitely need a "guide" to help
me. Thanks for any advice

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to skydrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem. The
work around is to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are backup the key before you do
Press Win+r and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

Are there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the Mac?

Is there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the iMac and MacBrook Pro running OS 10.6.7?

as has been said, you need no AV on your Mac. more info here: Mac Virus/Malware Info.
if, however, you exchange files with windows users on a regular basis, you might want to install ClamXav lest you pass an infected file on without realizing it.

Cannot download and install programs such as google / zone alarm etc

I am lucky to have FireFox -as windows xp and ie 7 or 8 not sure which do not work -
but when I try to download and install programs - does not happen - thanks for
any help

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Installing programs and hardware

I have a sunsparc Utra10 elite 3d system that has 512 megs of memory and I installed a 20 gig Western Digital HDD that went in flawlessly. The m3 video card didn't work due to something broken off of the card and I bought another one off of ebay. I placed the card in it's slot and the onboard video was inoperable. i used a sun to vga connector to connect my compaq 7550 monitor but it was inoperable as well. I changed the jumper that is directly above the video card and it was still inoperable. If I have the m3 video card in, the onboard video does not work, but when I take the card out, the onboard video works. How do I install the video card and make it work? Is there something I am overlooking?
Also, how do I install programs like firefox 1.5b2? I really want to learn how to use Solaris, but I can't find any books or on-line help that is truly useful.

Have you checked the HCL for your video card?

I know how to remove a installed program on a pc. How do you remove one from a mac?

I know how to remove an installed program from a pc. However, I just purchased an imac and installed mcafee security on it. It totally messed up by printer. I want to remove it from my imac. How do you do that? I moved everything I could visually see to the trash, but it is still on the imac. Help.

This from McAfee website:
Steps to uninstall:
Click Go from your Finder window.
Select Applications.
Double-click the McAfee Internet Security Uninstaller.
Check the box beside Uninstall SiteAdvisor.
Click Continue.
Enter your admin password and click OK.
Click Finish.
It appears from this that McAfee has an uninstaller. For much software there is no installer and removing it simply involves finding it in the Applications folder and dragging it to the Trash. Yes, this can leave some small files in Library but they are normally not an issue.

Alarm goes every 10 mins, overrides sound off. Checked all programs, no help.

Siren is a basic 3rd party sound used by OSX since early days, not in Sounds Prefs.
Sys Prefs have been fully checked, all Login Items disabled.
Checked all the /lib/sounds folders. Only 'as installed' audio files.
No problems until Mountain Lion was installed and probably reorganised something.

How can I build Instalation Program for java applet?

I want to build on line internet game based on java applet.
Uset must instull the game to his computer.And this program mast Connect to the server when user enter
to this application.Not from explorer,but from my application,like when i enter to ICQ.
My questions:
How can i build instalation program in java?
How can i connect to the server when user enter into my game not from explorer but from game?
Thanks,Maya.

Hi Maya
First of all an Applet does not have to be "installed" as you would with a normal application. The browser handles the install and execution of the applet.
Check out this URL for more about applets:
http://web2.java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/index.html
On the subject client/server pairs - see:
http://web2.java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/index.html
If you decide to make the game an application instead check out Sun's WebStart - under the products section.
That's about all the help I can give you.
Programming a game is a complicated subject - I am doing one too:

DVD won't install program

When I insert a CD or DVD into my new IMAC.....nothing happens. The install program doesn't start up nor do I see anything on my desktop.

Open a finder window and on the menubar select: Finder > Preferences > General tab > check CDs, DVDs, and iPods. Also do this in the sidebar tab. This will show them on the desktop and sidebar when inserted.
Also in System Preferences > CD's & DVDs > set the actions to take place when you insert optical media.

Both DVD Drives Not Installing Programs

Hello,
Both of my DVD Drives have stopped installing programs. For example, once a DVD is placed in the Drive, it will initially load up and give me the oppurtunity to load the Setup Executable, start to load the program, but never finish.
This happens no matter what DVD/CD is loaded. Any ideas? I have removed them and let Windows redetect and reinstall them, but no help. Thanks!

Hi,
I realise you have already tried part of the procedure below, but try starting from this.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. Restart the PC.
Next, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drives are now working.
If the drives are not working, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Then open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drives in turn and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked.
Reboot the PC and let Windows reinstall the devices. Check the drives again.
If they still aren't working, run the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below again.
Windows 7
Vista
Next, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drives again and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the devices have uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drives and see if they now work.
Regards,
DP-K
