MAC is an abbreviation, generally in the computer world it stands for 
Media Access Controller. Given where you posted this message and its 
contetns, I assume you mean a "Mac".

Both LaunchServices and Spotlight will let you find an application by its 
bundle ID. If you can find it on the HD then it's installed, if you can't 
then it's not.
