How to set it to switch on for 5 minutes every 15minutes.

If you add a comment and say which timer you have, I can help with specific information.
Regular off-the-shelf timers will not cycle the way you want.
If you want a timer to cycle ON 5 minutes for every 15 minutes, you will need a cycle timer.

http://www.intermatic.com/products/timers/mechanical%20time%20switches/repeat%20cycle.aspx
This timer rotates around in full circle each 30 minutes.
Set trippers around outer edge of timer dial.
Unit shipped with 10 trippers, each tripper represents 15 seconds so you would need 40 trippers.
20 trippers = 5 minutes.
Amazon sells additional 156T1950A trippers:

I have a Longine chronograph (L3.618.4). The minute and hour hands do not line up.

This video explains how to align the Chronograph hands. If that isn't that you meant, you will need a Longines Service Centre and have it properly serviced. Quality watches like yours should be serviced about every 5 years.

Trying to set switch for 5 minutes , and i only get 30 seconds or 15 minutes

Which brand and model number specifically?
Leviton: 1-800-824-3005
Leviton Decora manual says:
"PR180 operates by detecting motion (such as body heat) within its field-of-view (area of coverage) and automatically switches lights ON. When motion is no longer detected, lights remain ON for a selected time and automatically switch OFF.
Adjustable light and time-delay controls are located on the front of the device."

The manual is not specific about set times.

In any case, the device has off-delay timing circuit, so once infrared heat is no longer sensed, the delay period begins, and once the delay period expires, the device is switched off.
Delay timing circuits are common for many home and industrial applications.
As a general rule, delay timers can be set for different time durations, however the Amazon page that sells PR180 product does not specify available time settings either.

Legrand RW3U occupancy sensor spec sheet says adjustable time delay 15 seconds 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes
http://www.amazon.com/Legrand-RW3U603I-Occupancy-Vacancy-Decorator/dp/B005FMLL5G

Delay switches
Here is manual delay-time switch Tork SS20 SS13 where you can 'fine-tune' the delay circuit, but my experience is that exact 5 minutes is not easily set:

GE 15318 switch offers 5 minute, but there is no guarantee that you can get 5 minutes exactly:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/GE-15318-countdown-timer.jpg

My conclusion is that there are very limited delay-time choices with this model number, or device is defective and suggest to call Leviton.

My blackberry curve is frozen, when this happens, i cannot get past the home screen. i have removed the battery 5 times, but it is still frozen.

Did you recently update your firmware version? If yes, then you have to exercise some level of patience when starting up the phone. Depending on certain conditions, it might take up to 10-15minutes to start up fully for the first time after a firmware update.
If this doesn't work for you(that is after waiting for about 15minutes) you can try the hard reset by pressing down the "alt", "shift" and "enter" keys simultaneously while the device is coming on. This could have happened as a result of a crashed firmware.
Lastly, pull out the battery for 10 minutes and put it back in. This should solve the issue.
Note that: the hard reset combination must be held down until the phone goes off and comes back on by itself.
Hope this solves your problem and thank you for using FixYa.

I have VIEWSONIC VA1912w-4 monitar. When i start power of my monitor the monitor light blinks and keeps on blinking. the monitor remains blank and some time from 5 minutes to 15minutes it starts.what is...

bharapatel5, You will just need to resolder one "thermally intermittant" poor solder connection inside the monitor. Go YOUTUBE and watch video clips, then do very close inspection of the "switch-mode-power-supply/ccfl inverter supply" printed circuit board. Inspect for "swollen" electrolytic filter capacitors that may need replacement also!!! Do more research here on fixya in the fixya profiles of "budmrtn" "buddymc" "12fixlouie" for lots more info that you will need. 12fixlouie

If I want the TIMER 6230M to stay in ON position for longer than 30 minutes, how can I make it works like a toggle ON/OFF switch?

The Leviton 6230 is a countdown timer with maximum time of 30 minutes.
The other times are 15minutes, 5minutes and 3minutes.
The timer has a manual override.
Push the bottom button and the timer works like a switch.

Leviton also make the 6260 countdown ... with 10-20-30-60minute times.

When i bought my toshiba laptop from **** smiths in broome, about a week later i was listeing to some music with no power attached and after about 5minutes the computer just died.it happened 3 more time...

In the control panel, find the power management settings; it is probably set to Shutdown after 5 minutes, on battery. Change that setting to never. Actually, you can set them all to never.
