How to Change Flash Hardware Acceleration in OS X
Open your Web browser and navigate to the “Install Flash Player in 5 Easy Steps” website (see Resources). This page is a resource for Web users looking to download, install, upgrade, and test Flash Player. The page includes a small Flash applet for testing the functionality of your Flash install.
Scroll down to the “Verify if Flash Player is Installed” section. If your Flash Player is working correctly, you’ll see a small Flash Web component with a simple animation. You can disable hardware acceleration only if you have Flash installed and updated.
Open the Flash menu by holding the “Option” button and clicking the Flash Web component. Mac users with a trackpad may be able to open this menu by clicking with two fingers, depending on their trackpad settings. The Flash menu will be the same regardless of which Flash item you use to open it.
Select “Settings” from the list of available menu options. Click the small monitor icon to open the “Display” portion of the Settings menu and un-check the box next to “Enable hardware acceleration.” Click “Close” to save and apply changes. Refresh the Flash test page to see if your playback issues have been resolved.

How to Transfer From a PC to an iMac
Write down a list of applications you can't do without. In many cases, you will need to find a different program, since many Windows PC programs aren't made for the iMac. Making this list ahead of time allows you to purchase software you need when you purchase your iMac, which will cut down on the time it takes to get your new computer environment up and running. Many programs, such as Microsoft Office, have a version for Mac. In most cases, Mac has a suitable replacement program for just about any Windows software you need.
Back up all of your important files on a CD-R. Burn them onto a disc from your PC before you begin setting up on your iMac. This includes any documents, images, or music you will want to transfer. IMac reads all the common files that a PC can read, including text, rich text, JPEG, MP3 and PDF files. You will be able to transfer those files directly. If you have Microsoft Word or Excel files, Apple's iWork will read and write these files, although the software will need to be purchased separately (unless you purchase Microsoft Office for Mac).
Open 'Finder' on your iMac, click the 'Task' button located along the top of the window, and click 'New Folder' to create folders with the same names you're familiar with on your PC. Many of the same default folders already exist on the iMac, including 'Pictures,' 'Movies' and 'Music.'
Insert the disc that contains all of your backed up documents, images and music files from your PC. The disc will open automatically. Select the files using the holding down the 'Shift' key and clicking the files you want to move. Open the appropriate folder in 'Finder' and drag your files to the folder.
Check all of your files to ensure they can be opened on your iMac and edited. Make a list of those that you can't access (the list will be limited). Install any software on your iMac you need to get back into working on your computer without disruption.

How to Make My Wireless Network Invisible
Enter the administration interface for your router or access point. Use your Web browser to connect to this interface by navigating to the address required by your device (for example, http://192.168.1.1).
Browse to the wireless setting page in the administration interface. This page typically includes options for changing the wireless network mode, wireless network name, wireless channel, and the SSID (Service Set IDentifier) broadcast.
Disable the SSID broadcast and save your settings. The router or access point should reboot to enable the new settings.
Enable the SSID only when performing networking maintenance or connecting other computers to the network. However, even without the SSID broadcast, you can connect to your network by simply manually entering the network name, so try to keep the SSID broadcast disabled at all times.
Continue to use encryption such as WPA (or WEP, if WPA is not available on your device). Disabling SSID can help thwart casual outsiders, but more experienced intruders can still use sniffing techniques to find and access your network. Encryption can help prevent such intrusions.
