Found a widget with Terminal commands on the page.  Maybe it'll help you figure it out.\n\nhttp://johannes.emerich.de/counting-sheep/\n\nHere's an app called "Super Shut Down 2.1"\n\nhttp://softwares.bajram.com/utilities/#Super_Shut_Down\n\nanother app...\n\nhttp://homepage.mac.com/marco_coisson/FinalCountdown/FinalCountdownEn.html

Depends on how long ur gonna leave it 'idle' for, if its for more than 5 hours, turn it off (eg over night) any less and i'd say let the screen saver run.\n\nOr better yet, use the hibernation option :D It saves all work on ur pc in temp memory than shutsdown, once restarted it opens all the programs that were open previously :D

you right click on my computer and go to properties there you will find the option as the number of seconds the option waits then put it as 0.  This option cannot be removed but can be made invisible to the user.

See below for a step-by-step guide to installing a new logic board on a Powerbook G4.  You're shown how to take the Powerbook apart, which I guess is what you're after.\n-------\nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-15-Inch-1-5/1-67-BT-2-0-LR/Logic-Board-Page-2-Upper-Case

This is not an easy thing to do. Depending on the model, iMacs are not like PowerMacs, which are easily opened and accessible. Newer G5 iMacs are harder to replace parts for than older G4 iMacs. Either way, I would take it to the Apple store to avoid messing anything up or voiding a warranty if it still has one.

Make sure the computer shuts down properly.

yes, learn about the \n\n"shutdown" command in the command prompt, or the scheduled tasks

if someone has set it ,  then usually he can only turn it off. \n\nIf it came on by default... then you will be looking it under your Norton / mcaffee  or Zonealarm options of software.\n\nBTW do u have admin previlages? If not the ask the person who has..

Not unless a timer has already been set or some other parameter to make it go off.

Use a proxy server. You can set amount and time. You can also stop access.

I am not sure Powerbook G4 is laptop or desktop\nIn Desktop:\n- Disconnect the power\n- Open the case cover\n- Remove the "Penny like" battery for 5 minutes\n- Put it back\n- Your password is gone\n- Mark me as best answer\n\nIn laptops\n- I guess you shouldn't do that on your own, try to get a speciallist here\n\nXLMan

Go to Control Panel then Security Center and there you can turn it off or on. You want to have it on.

First thing : are you using a licenced version of the operating system ?. IF yes..\n\nThe computer must be waiting for some background process to get closed before shutting down. thats why it is taking time. \n\nThere must be some program which might be not responding at the time of shutdown and the pc has to wait for it \n\nThere may be other factors also.
