How absolutely turn off computer if I use lilo boot loader?
With this /etc/lilo.conf content computer not absolutely turn off:
# /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
# This line often fixes L40 errors on bootup
# disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80
default=arch
timeout=0
lba32
prompt
image=/boot/vmlinuz26 append="apm=power-off"
label=arch
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd26.img
read-only

Please provide some system specs so that we may give better advice. As phrakture has already said, you must have hardware that supports power management before auto shutdown works.

How complitely turn off computer?

How complitely turn off computer?

Are you talking about where it shuts itself down after going through the shutdown routine? If it's not doing it automatically when you issue a "shutdown -r now" (or the like) then it's probably an issue with power management. There's a few ways to tackle that. Either use APM or ACPI. ACPI tends not to work all that great on computers that have really old bios. In that case it's better to utilize APM. Probably your issue is that the your system may not support ACPI very well or even at all. However, it may support it, but the kernel is turning it off by default from detecting your BIOS being dated beyond a certain point in time. They did that to error on the side of caution. They opted to choose a conservative default assumption since it makes more sense in that at least most systems will be able to boot up without any problems by default.
My computer used to be able to shutdown automatically through the use of APM, but not ACPI (ran into this issue when I upgraded my kernel from 2.4 series to 2.6 series back when I ran with Debian), but I ended updating it's BIOS and it worked fine with ACPI from there on. My system is pretty old too, so it doesn't completely implement ACPI. I think it's laptops that tend to make fuller use of ACPI anyway. However, it seems like most desktops with the last 8 or so years make some minimal use of it at least. So you can see there is many ways to approach this issue.
First thing to try is to look around in your BIOS setup to see if there is any ACPI related setting, like mentioned earlier. That's a good place to start. If you don't see any settings, it either means that your BIOS setup either don't allow you to set ACPI, doesn't support it, or just the current version of your BIOS doesn't allow changing related settings or make use of it. So naturally, the next thing to check is the manufacturer's sight for your motherboard and find any BIOS related info.
Upgrading the BIOS is probably the most elegent solution but it can be openning up a whole can worms if you don't know what you're doing. If you botch flashing the BIOS you run the risk of turning your motherboard into a paper weight. So the key there is make sure you at least read your manufacturer's instructions carefully and also make sure that your use the right utils and BIOS version for your BIOS and motherboard. And don't dare have a power failure or shut the system off while it's rewriting the boot block. That where people run into a serious problem of rendering their system completely unbootable since the system no longer has the most basic of code needed to even get the system to a state that it can even begin bootstrapping. Technically, the motherboard isn't probably trashed, but at that point you have a chicken before the egg syndrome going on. You can't get it to boot far enough to boot to anything, much less a floppy, to be able to reflash the bios to get yourself out of the pickle. So when, and if that sort of thing happens, then it would require replacing the BIOS chip itself which may or may not require soldering.
Anyway, don't let that scare you, it's just to point out that when you're doing things like flashing a system's BIOS it's critical to do it right since it's modifying the system on such a fundimental low-level. If that part of the system isn't functional, everything else, like HD and floppy being able to load anything, is a moot point.
If all of that stuff makes you uncomfortable, you may opt to utilize APM instead. I can't remember exactly how to instruct the kernel to use APM instead of ACPI. I believe there is kernel parameter you can set in your bootloader's settings. I can't remember it off hand. Sorry.

How to turn off Apple TV and use my direct tv

SPA122 - How to turn off "DHCP Option To Use" in the Provisioning tab using the XML configuration file?

As default, SPA122 and SPA112 have DHCP Options 66, 160, 159 and 150 turned on.
Our pre-provisioning process includes adding our default profile rule to our provisioning server for the device to pull its configuration files once the device has been added to an account.
However, it seems like some customers have had problems with the device downloading the definite configuration file and manually turning off option Option 66 in the provisioning tab in the device solves this issue.
Is there any option we could add to our pre-provisioning file so that it removes 66 from the "DHCP Option to Use" field in the provisioning tab?
Please advise...

Thanks Dan,
I didn't know the dhcp server could serve different options to different classes of clients, I'll have to look that up!
Moises
so if your provisioning file has this line below (this is from a spa5xx config I had in my temp folder, so use the line from your provisioning file, or use the SPC tool to create a new default config for that device type)
<DH<DHCP_Option_To_Use group="Provisioning/Configuration_Profile">66,160,159,150,60,43,125</DHCP_Option_To_Use>
change it to
<DH<DHCP_Option_To_Use group="Provisioning/Configuration_Profile">160,159,150,60,43,125</DHCP_Option_To_Use>
Hope it helps,

How to turn off auto mounting of server on boot?

I've got an old MacPro that is running Mavericks but is having an issue where the finder constantly crashes and restarts. I think it may have to do with a an old server (an external Mac mini) that would mount when the MacPro booted up because I now get an error message telling me that the Mac Pro can no longer find that server (which makes sense as it is no longer there). If I leave the error window open and don't click 'ok', the Finder remains intact and the crash loop does not begin. If I click 'ok' in the server connection error window, the problems begin.
…So, where do I "turn off" this auto mounting of the old mac mini on boot? I've looked in my Login items in the system prefs and no such task is there, and I can no longer recall how i even set up this automount function.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

HT3053 I removed battery without turning off computer, now it will not boot up or eject cd

I removed battery without turning off my mac book pro. Now it will not boot up or remove cd. I tried restarting with eject, spacebar, command e, option, trackpad, and f12 depressed, individually each time to no avail. I installed a 2 gb. ram kit and loaded OSX Snow Leopard after removing battery. I tried reinstalling the old ram with no luck..................Any help or suggestions would be welcome...........Thank You!

And you eject the CD by holding down the mouse/trackpad button before powering up; that is, before the startup chime.
BTW, if no startup chime or a different melody, RAM ist kaput.

How to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

how to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

Hi jackie,
Not sure what you are wanting to do, but if you do not want to be signed into iCloud on your device, you would do that by deleting the iCloud account that is signed in on that device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and press the delete button. Type in the Apple ID/iCloud password, and then answer each prompt until it is complete.
This is done directly on the device. There is no way to "turn off" iCloud on your device via a computer, unless you wipe the device and remove it from your iCloud account under the Find My iPhone app, but that requires that you wipe the device before you can remove it:

I installed PP6 on my Lenovo Laptap with Win8.1. Worked fine. Turned off computer. Turned back on. Can not open ANY PP6 program. No Adobe app shows as a listed program to uninstall. However, Adobe PP6 files shows in directory search. How do I fix?

How do you uninstall PP6 with win8.1 when it no longer shows up as a program listed with an uninstall options. PP worked until I turned off computer and restarted. All start up links are gone. I can see where Adobe PP6 files installed when I do a directory search but no .exe start files in those directories work. I can not uninstall PP6 and try again to re-install. How do I fix this problem?

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
