I have not logged out in years. How can I check to see if I remember my password is correct?
Appologies to all who tried to answer my previous attempts at this question. I have not logged off in years bc I was affraid I didn't remember my "log out password". I never wrote it down. I never saved it in key chain. I have a good idea what it is and want to prove it before I use the log out feature again. Is there a way to do that? I have gone into System Preferences > Accounts and tried to change password and was successful. Is that the same as the logout password?
If you are still concerned Raymond, open Keychain Access. It is in your Mac's Utilities folder.
Click the "login" Keychain as in the above screenshot. Then click the lock icon at the upper left. If it is already unlocked, it will lock your Keychain.
Click it again to unlock it. It will then ask for your password:
Type in the password you used in System Preferences and click OK.
If the lock icon unlocks, you just proved your login password is correct and identical to your Keychain password, as it normally is. Then you can stop worrying about this and start worrying about the Mayan Apocalypse in a couple of days.

OK, so I went and explored what this site said about Mackeeper. But before I delete it can you tell me:
If we don't need anti virus program and if the one that came with the machine is supposed to do the job then what does that say about the viruses that Mackeeper says it found? Were they not there and the program made them up? Or were they there and Apple didn't deal with them?
Thanks for all feedback.
They were not there and MacKeeper made them up. Delete it completely. I have seen it cripple people's Macs.
Uninstall MacKeeper

I have forgotten my password and have not backed my iphone up how can i get to my photos.
If you have synced your phone with a computer connect to that computer and you can back it up without the passcode. If you have not synced to a computer there is no way to recover data without the passcode.

I have an iMac running OS 10.4.11. How can I check to see if I have the Flashback Trojan (and remove it, if I have it)? IMy Safari is also crashing frequently. Any suggestions?
Hi Barry, is this an Intel iMac, or a PPC iMac?

Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!
How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?
If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities. -

How can I check to see if my iPad is factory unlocked
Hi, I'm having problem using a sim in my iPad when there is no Wi-Fi. I have been told that iPads lock to the first sim that is installed. As I have now changed my network provider, could this be the reason my new sim does not work?
If this is the case, how can I check to see if the iPad is still unlocked, as I do not have another sim card to try. More importantly, How do I unlock my iPad???
Thanks for your help
RMThe only iPads that are unlocked (for use in the US) are iPads that shipped with the Apple Sim card. I believe that is the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini with Retina. The other iPads are locked to the carrier they were purchased for use with, and that cannot be changed. The only exception would be in using a sim card in another country.
If it is an AT&T iPad, you have to use AT&T. Same for Sprint, Verizon & T-Mobile. -
How can I check to see if my software has been registered?
After a recent hardware replacement I am unable to find my Aperture 2 download. I never used it anyway so i'm not concerned but would like to be able to pass it on if it can be, is this possible? How can I check to see if I even registered it? I have the original packaging and all contents including Serial numbers, support ID, and four software coupons for updates. I am a bit technophobe, sorry!
So,
1. How can I check to see if it was registered correctly?
2. Can someone else use the software?
Hope someone can help.You don't need to check registration. In the Apple world registering software really doesn't have much of a purpose.
If the software was bought on DVD and you have the serial number you are free to give it or sell it to anyone you wish. Just keep in mind that Aperture 2 is very old and while it (sort of) works on the newer OS's it really isn;t a good solution for anyone serious about using Aperture.
It would be OK for someone with older hardware that is unable to upgrade past Snow Leopard but for anyone with newer hardware it would be a mistake to use. -
How can I check and see if someone is tracking online activity on my IPad 3 from their device?
How can I check to see if someone is tracking or accessing my Internet activity on my Ipad3 from a separate location?
You can't. Make sure you have security/firewall set on your router. If you are using your iPad in a free wifi location (ie like Starbucks) it's possible for someone to intercept your wifi activity.

How can I check to see if there is money left on an iTunes gift card if I can't read the scratch off code?
Sorry, but other than trying to redeem the card there's no way to check whether it is still valid or was previously redeemed.

If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?
If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone. If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased. No way around this.
