Hello,
Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
Best of luck.

  • My Macbook Pro is running really slow, is there any suggestions that I could do being novice to this or should I take it in and let them look at it??

    I tried the Disk Utlity to see if there was something wrong but it went through the process and it was fast for the first 10 minutes then went slow agian!! I am not computer savvy by any means but I know there is programs running in the background, with that said though I have no idea what they are or anything else but it has never ran this slow or not sent mail out like this before!! anybody have any suggestions that I would understand!!

    Have a look here...
    macworld.com/mac-troubleshooting-what-to-do-when-your -computer-is-too-slow.
    Basically...
    1)  Make sure you have enough Free Hard Drive space for your Mac to Perform as expected...
    Rule of thumb is about 15 to 20 GB
    2)  And adding more RAM is always a prudent move... (4GB of RAM is a minimum for Mavericks... 8GB at least would be better.)
    You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...

  • I have iMac and need a good photo editing program to use.  Reviews say aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?

    I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.

    Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
    To add on to Corky02 answer:
    The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
    Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing  the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or  ill-designedAperture databases.
    Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also  repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
    To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
    But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

    However, the system requiments are pretty steep:
    Mac OS X v10.6 or v10.7
    2GB of RAM
    Intel Core 2 Duo or later
    so you at minimum need to upgrade the OS to at least OS 10.6. That is this package:

    We had a MacBook Pro stolen from our home when we were out of town and I am pretty sure we never activated the LoJack type of function on it not sure if its called lojack but you get what I am saying is there any way we can activate such  hardware/app now so we can possibly recover our laptop? Any one who can point us in the right direction that would be great and we would be very grateful. Thanks So Much

    Lojack for laptops - if that is the product you purchased and installed, you will need to read the user manual or contact the manufacturer as it is 3rd party.  You did file a police report right?

    Chrystal Kitty the instructions/link provided by roaminggnome
      allows you to creast a new ID without a credid card or gift card so you can download free app.

    So, if you mean to download a free app, you need a form of payment. There is no way to do so without a credit or gift card.

  • Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked.  However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

    I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
    You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column.  Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan.  You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
    The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
    Good luck.

  • System suddenly running really slow

    I use the same programs every day. My system works at an acceptable speed in general, unless of course if I open too many apps in the same time, but this is something I don't usually do.
    Today using the same and even less apps as before, my system runs really slow. Switching between apps takes forever, every click takes its time, and I see nothing strange in the activity monitor.
    Does anyone have any ideas about this?
    Thank you for your help.

    One thing to check: Amount of free space on your hard drive. You should have at least 15% free for the OS to do its thing.

  • I have a mac laptop and I was wondering if when it dies because the battery needs charging, will the tabs I had up go away?

    I have a mac laptop. it is white, but im not sure of the exact name. Anyways, the battery needs recharging, and I was wondering if the tabs close when it dies.

    sarahrules2013 wrote:
    so you are saying that everything closes?
    Yes, if the battery goes dead, the computer shuts off, and when you boot it back up, it's like turning off the computer and then turning it back on...Everything that wasn't saved, will have to be started again as when power gets removed from RAM, then whatever was in RAM at the moment is gone...

  • I'm unable to instantly watch netflix on my Powerbook G4  Mac OS X10.5.8.  Can I download the required Mac OS 10.4.11?

    I'm unable to instantly watch netflix on my Powerbook G4 Mac OSX 10.5.8.  Am I able to download the required Mac OS 10.4.11?  Thank you.

    What PowerBook model do you have? OS 10.4.11 Tiger is the OS just prior to your OS 10.5 Leopard. There is no download, free or purchase. You have to buy the install DVD. What makes you think Netflix will work with 10.4.11 when it possibly doesn't work with 10.5.8? It's prrobably you Mac hardware & not software.

  • Hi I have a HP Envy dv6 Laptop, and I'm wondering if I can upgrade the graphics card on here?

    It has a decent graphics card but I was looking for something with slightly more kick. 
    Processor is: Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU@ 2.40GHz
    RAM:12gb (11.9 usable)
    system type: 64-bit
    Graphics card I have now: Nvidia Geforce GT 650M 2gb. 
    Is it possible? If so you someone recommend it? Or is it not even worth the hassle? 
    Because it IS a laptop and idk if the graphic cards are specialized for them specifically. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    Well, there is no "card" as that term is understood. It is a chip built right onto the circuitry of the motherboard and cannot be replaced or upgraded. The video you have is top of the line for recent HP consumer laptops so you cannot even get an improvement from a new motherboard. No upward headroom is available. You have to think in terms of a new gaming laptop if you want performance any better than a 2 gb GT650M.
