Why do I have software in my applications folder that I did not install?

I have:
Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive and iWorks '08?
How did they get there, anyone?

Hi
Office Test Drive is actually a 60 day trial period. The time starts after the first time you launch it. When you quit or re-launch thereafter you will be given a prompt to buy with a countdown of how many days there are left.
Why on earth would i want to buy a boxed copy off the shelf,
which I nearly did, if it is all already on my computer?
If its something you like after trialing it you would still have to buy it at the full price. You get a serial number sent to you that activates the program. Of course if you decide you don't want it after the 60 days is up your other option is to buy off the shelf. With Microsoft pushing Office 2008 you may end up having to do this anyway as perhaps Microsoft are not interested in supporting Office 2004 anymore?

  • How do I tell the CC application manager that Lightroom is not installed on my pc?

    Before i got CC i was using Lightroom 5 swedish version for evaluation. I used application manager to install an English version by setting the language to English but language after CC installation of Lightroom is still Swedish. Checking the language settings again after installation it was set to English. Now I uninstalled Lightroom using control panel to remove it completely and my intention was to reinstall it from CC. However, the application manager still claims that Lightroom is installed. How do I get the CC application manager to understand that lightroom is not installed and when I do reinstall it it should be in English?

  • I do not have 'mailto' in my applications folder. How do I install it?

    I cannot send a link as there is no default mail setting in firefox. I have reloaded the software and checked the applications list but it does not contain the 'mailto' so I cannot adjust. I have set Thunderbird as the deafult mail in windows and this triggers when I use other software eg Picasa.

    You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.<br />
    If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.<br />
    You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.<br />
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • Why do I have to pay for a charge that I should not of been charged then wait for the credit in two to three billing cycles? If I don't pay it I get charged $5 a month late charge?

    So I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Verizon about charges on my wireless bill. The conclusion of it was: Pay the charge and we will credit the charge or it will show as a balance due with a $5.00 late fee every month. I got two phones on a promotion in November. Part of the promotion was no activation fee. Got my first bill and a $70.00 activation fee was on it. On line chatted with Verizon and they said it would be credited in two to three billing cycles. I paid my bill minus the activation fee. This month I have a $5.00 late fee and a $35.00 restocking fee because they messed up and sent three phones and I returned one. It was not activated. They might credit me that money back. What is going on?????

        I am so very sorry for any aggravation you've experienced getting your billing straightened out, Nunu1957. It's true that it can take 1 to 2 billing cycles for some account balance adjustments to appear on a statement. While I know you'd rather not have paid your activation fees, the terms of your agreement do require you to do so in order to avoid late fees or even involuntary service interruptions.
    I am concerns about the restock fee. If the device was sent to you in error, you should not have been billed a restock fee. You stated that there may be a refund for the fee. Has that been confirmed?

  • Why do I keep getting "Find My iPhone" notices that I did not send?

    For some reason, my various iDevices keep getting the occasional "Find My iPhone" notice.  It comes in the form of a sound and a generic pop-up message.  I am not sending any though. Any idea why?

    Contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them. They should then issue a credit to your account.
    And you might want to change your password to your iTMS account, just in case someone has indeed gotten access to your account.

  • I have a charge that I did not authorize?

    I have a charge for $24.99 that I did not authorize?

    The amount, $24.99, ties up with the cost of iTunes Match in the US - have you subscribed to it and/or is it due for renewal ?
    You can view the purchase history on your iTunes account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent is above the list).
    If you didn't make the purchase, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Charges have been made to my bank account from iTunes that I did not make .  How can I speak to someone about this matter.

    I have charges madero my bank account that I did not make.  How can I speak to a live person?  I show nothing on my account as purchased.  The purchase on bank account says itunes store purchase.  I think someone hacked my account.  Any help?

    Call your credit card company immediately and dispute the charges - sounds as though someone has used your credit card especially since there is nothing showing on your account as purchased.
