Switching to Mac, still want to use my 6.1 Speakers from PC

Greetings all, I will be switiching over to Mac soon (iMac arrives Nov28) and I have a quick question for you audio experts. With my current PC, I have a 6.1 surround sound setup. The surround is not digital, however, but rather analogue (i.e. six speakers go into the sub-woofer, then from there the audio connects to a PCI card in the following format: front, back, center). Now I realize that the iMac will not all me to connect these speakers as the currently are analogue. Is there a seperate device I may purchase that will allow me to connect the "front, back, center" setup to my iMace? Perhaps a analogue to digital converter? Thank you for all your help! I am sure to be on here in the future as I complete my coversion
iMac G5 (iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1 gig RAM, 250 gig harddrive (not here till Nov 28)

Also there's the cheap way, http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2177,CONTENTID=100 36
But I dont think this work as good as the other, jejeje. This probably only add sourraoun sound and not 6.1 sound.

HT3529 My friend switched his phone number from an iPhone to a Blackberry. My phone still wants to use iMessage to send him a text and won't let me send it as a text unless I turn off iMessage on my phone. Is there a fix for this?

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

I was using iphone4 and iphone5 as well,i want to use two different apple id but dont want to loose the apps and data's .I still want to use same datas but with different id is it possible ..?

I want to create new apple id, but dont want to loose existing data's downloaded using existing id.I still want to use two apple id

No. All apps purchased are forever linked to the original ID and there is no way to transfer them.

Still want to use old iPhone

I upgraded to the 3G and I still want to use the original iPhone more like an iPod Touch. However, when I try to sync with iTunes it says on the phone "No SIM card installed, Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone". It has made the phone useless. Please help.

I'm not certain. However, I think you'll need to head back to the AT&T store and talk to the folks there to get this sorted out. You need a separate SIM for your 3G iPhone.

If I want to make a separate apple ID then the rest of my family, but still want to use the same itunes account, is that possible?

Yes, your entire family can use one AppleID just for purchases in the iTunes and App Stores, then each of you can use your own unique AppleIDs for all other services (iCloud accounts, iMessage accounts and so on).
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for each service Apple offers, if you wished to.
By doing what you suggest, you also limit the number of AppleIDs with payment information associated with them, so there is only one single AppleID that can be compromised that way. Keeping one AppleID for purchases and another (with no payment information tied to it) for everything else is not a bad practice for anyone to follow.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.

          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

Hi, I've just upgraded to an Iphone 4s but still want to use my Ipod. Can you have music and apps on both and if so how do you keep them updated? Is there a step by step guide anywhere? Thanks

"Can you have music and apps on both "

Not sure what you mean.

Sync each of them as always. There is no need to do anything, just sync them to your computer.

Hi,
If your MP3 player is an iPod, iPhone Just plug it into your computer, open iTunesand the devices section you'll see. Select the song you want to listen and ready, use it as your computer speakers

Hello mr sami,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your security questions. I found an article with some useful information if you cannot remember the answers to your security questions:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
