Want to purchase an iMac for family computing.

I have been a Microsoft Networking IT guy for over 15 years. Home PC finally died and want to upgrade to an iMac. With another PC i would just add harddrive as another drive and copy off data including itune library. How is this possible with an iMac.

You have many options:
1. The Apple store will do this for you for free if you buy your iMac from store. Not so sure if you buy online if you can then take it instore for them to do.
2. You could use an external Sata drive (or IDE if your that old ) caddy to connect the drive to your iMac to copy all your stuff accross.
EDIT guy above suggest the same method
3. The easiest way would be to use migration assistant, take a quick google on it and it should answer all of your questions. It is built into all macs so you would just need to install it on a windows PC and temparly plug your drive into that windows pc.

You can install and activate CS6 on both machines perfectly legally.

It sounds really unlikely though... You have to type in your password twice when setting up so you either:
made the same typo twice
the caps lock was on
You held down SHIFT during one of the letters
the keys have relocated because of different language keyboard layout
you simply forgot exactly what you typed.
Are you aware that passwords are case-sensetive? also, when using punctuation in passwords be aware that language localization of the keyboard can cause relocation of certain symbols like $ and € and * and ' which may make it impossible to retype the password correctly, if you are unaware of the correct way to type a certain puntuation symbol.

Should I wait to purchase an iMac for the release of the new OS?

Should I wait to purchase an iMac for the release of the new OS?

Apple have not announced any new iMac models. I do believe that they have stated that any current Mac running Mountain Lion will be able to upgrade to Mavericks. (Apple have never issued a new version of their OS that would not run on their current/most up to date models/)
So there seems to be no reason why you should not buy one of the current iMacs now.

How to eliminate authorization from a PC that crash, hard drive? I want to have available authorizaton for another computer.

Hi,
I had a PC that crash the hard drive.
I want to eliminate the autorization so I can have an available authorization for another computer.
Thanks for your help.
Regards

You don't need to. Wait until you reach maximum of 5 Authorized computers to deauthorize all then re-authorize new ones again. Refer to this article:

"1) We don't really need the wireless function so can we use it without wireless?"
Yes, you could turn the wireless mode off and it will work fine as an ethernet router. I'm not sure if the D-Link you have been using also provides a modem function. The AirPort Extreme does not have a modem onboard, so you would need a cable or DSL modem to work with the device.
"2) Will the AirPort Extreme work with our 10 Base T connections?
Yes, this will happen automatically.
"3) We use iChat a lot. Is there any special configuration required for using iChat?"
I have iChat setup on two Macs and no special configuration with the Extreme is needed.
