Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?

Hi,
Thanks for reading this.
Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?
This JUST started happening only 4 days ago.
Most recent installation was Limewire, but I removed it to see if this problem would go away.
I have 3 internal drives (See drive types below) that all have OS 10 on them in order to be able to boot up from either drive in the event of trouble.
However...
No matter WHICH drive I use as the start up drive... the computer STILL restarts itself after it is properly commanded to shut down.
Prior to the Limewire install... the ADOBE creative suite was installed.
There is a Lexmark X83 printer hooked to the computer, which, it seems doesn't matter if it is left on or off... the computer still restarts itself.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Tommy!
If you still have problems, trash the following three preference files, then shut down and do a PMU reset. (PMU reset procedure for the QS is the same as is shown at the link for the Gigabit Ethernet.)
HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

My computer says that I have 3 monitors connected but I only have 2 connected.

Windows 8 is saying that I have 3 monitors connected but I only connected 2. If recognizes a 3rd monitor that is really small and I don't know why. I have my 2nd monitor setup to be an extention of the 1st one and if I move my mouse all the way to the end
of the 2nd monitor my mouse is able to move off screen. I'm assuming this is because the computer detects the 3rd monitor to be there but like I said I only own 2 monitors and have only 2 connected. This is very annoying because sometimes things get placed
on the 3rd monitor and I can't move them to the other monitors because I can't see how to move it because I only connected 2 monitors and for some reason windows detects another even though there is nothing there. I just recently installed a new graphics card
and before it I didn't have one and my VGA and DVI cables connected to the ports that came on the mother board. When I had it setup like that it was fine but ever since I installed the graphics card it detects 3 monitors when I only want to use 2.

Hi,
Did this issue occur before?
Try to remove all unnecessary hardware, and use Win+P to change screen input option.
If the issue persists, try to create another administrator account and login for test.

Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days, i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Why does my Power Mac G5 use 5 times as much power after entering Sleep mode automatically as when I put it to sleep manually?

My Power Mac G5 (4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5) with an Apple 17" CRT monitor, an HP LaserJet 1200 Printer and an HP4570c scanner draws approximately 200 Watts of electrical power after entering the "Sleep" mode automatically, but only 41 Watts of electrical power if I put it to sleep manually.
I have tried changing the Energy Saver preferences in every way that I can think of, with no effect.
What am I doing wrong?

Hmm, 159 Watt diff, that's interesting, can't picture Hard Drives using that much, can you disconnect one devie at a time to test it's not them?

Why does my iPad ask for a credit card to buy apps when I already have money on my iTunes account?

Why does it do that? It used to do that for free apps to but once I put my credit card on it, it stop asking for free apps. But now it still wants a card even though I still have 20 dollars left from a birthday gift card. I heard somewhere that this was because of a new feature to stop kids from downloading apps that their parents don't want them to or buying a bunch of apps and racking up a huge bill, is this part of it?

Is the card expired? You cannot have an expired card in your account.

Mac thinks that there's a monitor connected when there isn't?

My MBP thinks that there's an external monitor connected to the computer, when in fact there is not. My solution is to simply use "Mirror display" so that the screen's edges don't lead into another non-existent monitor. However, I'd really like to fix this. I thought this was a software problem at first, but after reformatting the computer, I am starting to believe that it's a hardware problem.
Does anyone know what's going on here? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

What's bringing you to that conclusion ?
When you run System Preferences/Displays is it showing something else ?
Are you sure it's not 'Spaces' at work (multiple desktops) ?
System Preferences/Spaces - uncheck 'Enable Spaces'

Time Machine says it need 21 TB space when I only have a 500 GB drive in the computer.

Hi, I have a MacBook and was trying to run a Time Machine backup when I got an error saying: "The backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 21.09 TB but only 369.26 GB are available."
I have a 500 GB drive in the MacBook and it only has about 150 GB taken up. I also have a 500 GB drive for the Time Machine and it is not even half way full. Any ideas as to how I can make it work?
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 and I have the lat 2009 white MacBook. Wasn't having any issues with the Time Machine until just now.
Thanks.

It seems you're not alone with this problem. This is the suggested fix, but I've never tried it myself:

When I updated my Apple TV it shows about 10 computers on my network when I only have one computer on my network and they are all the same....why did this happen? I only have one computer linked to the Apple TV

when I updated my Apple tv it now shows about 10 computers on my network which I only have one tv...how do I get rid of the other "computers" listed as they are all the same, this was not happening before I updated the Apple TV

It looks to be a bug. A reboot to computer and/or Apple TV may resolve it.
You can provide feedback to Apple and file a report.
