Can I download mac os x 10.6.8 on my powerbook G4?

I want to get the iPhone 5 and I am wondering if it will be compatible with my current laptop. I am currently running Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and iTunes 7.

No, you're running the last operating system that will work on a PowerPC system.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based system.
iTunes 7 requires OS X 10.6.8.

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

I can't download Mac App Store

I can't download Mac App Store using OS X 10.6.8 following Apple's downloading procedure--the Mac App Store icon never appears in the dock or anywhere else!Mac App Store

You don't update from 10.6.3 by using the App Store. You use Software Update for that. Then after using Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you'll have the latest version of the App Store.
I don't see how this issue relates to your iPad.

Where can i download mac os 10.6.7 update

Download page here http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1363 does not work.

You cannot download any version of Snow Leopard itself. In your case you can only update to 10.6.8 using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
To go past Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

HT2261 how can i download mac osx 10.5

hi i want to download mac osx 10.5 how can i do

Note, MacBook Pros newer than October 26, 2007 may need to watch out which 10.5 installer disk they get.
Apple released 10.5.1, 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 as retail releases. Given the fact that Apple has 10.6 available and it is compatible with more applications than 10.5, and has more current security updates available, I would say that for MacBook Pros it is far better to purchase 10.6, and bring it up to 10.6.8, than buy any version of 10.5. Only a few applications can run on 10.5 only. Everything you needed to know about 10.6 is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
If you don't rely that heavily on old software you may want to jump straight to 10.7 or later after that:

Can I download mac apps?

I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8. Can I download the mac app store to my laptop?

No. You need to upgrade to 10.6.6 or later to access the App Store.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

Can I download mac os on more than one computer?

Just was wondering - I have an imac with Snow Leopard, my wife has an older macbook with "leopard" I think. Can I download my Snow Leopard on her computer?
Thanks
Stephen

Not unless it is the Snow Leopard Family Pack.
The Snow Leopard that came with your iMac will only work on that specific model of iMac.
The license also doesn't allow you to do that.
My suggestion would be to wait for Lion and buy a Family Pack. However, the retail Snow Leopard is only $30, so, depending on what portions of Snow Leopard she needs and how important it is to have it now, you may want to buy a single-user license to install on here MacBook.
I don't know when Lion will be released, but likely this summer or fall.

How can i download Mac OS X version 10.7????

i started using an old macbook, but i cant download to newst updates unless i have Mac OS X version 10.7

What model is your MacBook/ To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The model 1,1 can not run Lion, all others can once you're running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from the Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

Can't Download Mac OSX Mavericks with Mac OSX 10.7.5

something appears to be wrong here. I go to download mavericks from the app store but no download occurs (can't believe I have to use App store for this). i'm on a late 2011 mac powerbook. download shows up in launchpad with a status bar that never moves. mac app store won't acknowledge download when i press the download button. no status update on the mac app store, it just thinks about it for a second and then goes back to displaying the word "download" I have seen this same problem on this forum but have not seen an answer that works for my situation. anti virus disabled, firewall disabled, gatekeeper set to allow for app store. Any suggestions?

To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
When it's finished downloading it looks like this:
If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
Open the Mac App Store.
From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
Click the Resume button next to the app name.

HT1338 Can i download Mac OS X 10.6?

Hello, I am tryin to update my OS X from OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6 or higher. I just had surgery so i cannot leave my house and need this imediatly so I can not wait for the mailed version to come in. Is there anyway i can purchase this software and download it to update my operating system. If this is possible, my other question to you is would I be able to burn the software to a disk as a back up if I come into any problems. If not, would the download always be accessable to me so i can back my system up if needed? Please get back to me ASAP! thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, see if your Mac is compatible with Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If it's compatible, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If your Mac is compatible with Mountain Lion, I recommend you to upgrade to Mountain Lion instead of Lion. See > http://www.apple.com/osx
