Can I get Mac OS X 10.5.3 Update on a CD?

I want to update Leopard but I have this really slow dial up connection. The download will take days....and I am not kidding. Is there any way I can get apple to send me the update on a cd?

Haha. No.
He is saying that he already has Leopard. He wants to run Software Update and update to 10.5.3, but his Dial-Up is too slow, and would like the installer package on a CD.
Bron: The answer is no. Leopard is only available on DVD as the whole OS. Updates can only be done through Software Update or via Apple's website.
Maybe you can ask someone to burn the installer package for you?
You may also want to look into DSL or Cable internet.

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

  • How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

    How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat??   (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

    Sorry peterskine,
    it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
    The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
    But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
    Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
    When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.

  • Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Try this to start:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Where can I get Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7?

    I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Lightroom4 then I was told that I need Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7 in order to use it. My Mac is Mac OS X 10.5.8. I asked where I could find the appropriate version here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/18754476?ac_cid=op123456#18754476
    I bought the one my advisor recommended, but it was a wrong version and I still need Mac OS X v10.6.8. or 10.7.
    1. How can I return the disc I bought?
    2. Where can I get Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7, NOT ANY other version?

    1. Ask the seller for a refund.
    2. You need to purchase the Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD or Mac OS X 10.7 flash drive from a source such as the online Apple Store. Any Mac OS X 10.6.8 install DVDs you may come across are machine specific and can't be used to upgrade.

    I can't get mac app store on my mac!!

    The Mac App Store is part of 10.6.6 and newer. If you're using an Intel Mac, purchase Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD and then run Software Update. If you're using a PowerPC Mac, give up.

    How can I get rid of the iTunes logo after updating my iPhone to iOS 6

    Absolute garbage.
    This abysmal excuse "Always have been built in apps" is irrelevant. NOTHING should be tied to the OS of even
    a phone so tightly that you can't get rid of it. NONE of the apple crap apps do I use, but they use space on MY phone.
    I want the **** things gone.

  • Can't get mac back to how it was following manual restore from Time Machine

    My MBP, 13-inch, early 2011 10.8.4 has an SSD to boot from in HD bay and a HD in the optical bay where I have my user folder. I dropped the mac when it was switched on and the HD got screwed up and I consequently had to initialise it. The drive is fine now and I had a Time Machine backup form an hour previous so thought I was OK. However, it seems I've been using Time Machine wrong and I couldn't restore things from my USB - I had to go to the latest backup manually in TM and bring the info back.
    OK, so everything is back on the drive BUT, I can't get my Mac back to where it was before the drop - It's pointing to the User folder as before but the Mac looks like it's fresh out of the box. Any idea how I can get back?
    This is most frustrating and I would genuinely appreciate any help.
    Many thanks, Craig

    The first thing you need to do is have it tested for a hardware fault.

  • How can I get Mac Mini to accept bootable installers for Mountain Lion ? They work fine on MB-Pro

    I've had a Mac Mini (late 2012) for the past week and need to do a complete reinstall to get rid of very mucked up Server.app settings that I can't get rid of even though I uninstalled Server.app and what I thought were all of its Library files. I need to get the Mac Mini back to pristine, factory default to start over. Then I'll be able to put Server.app into a VM so I can trash it if need be without mucking up the rest of my system.
    I have both a bootable recovery partition on an external hard drive (My Book firewire) and a USB bootable installer with a fresh edition of Mountain Lion. I know the USB installer works just fine because I used it to do a clean install of my MacBook-Pro just last night. Went like a charm.
    When I start up the Mac Mini with the option key held down, everything seems fine -- I see both the USB drive and the My Book's 2 volumes (1 for data, 1 for the Recovery partition). But when I select either the USB drive or the My Book Recovery partition as the start-up drive, I get a screen with a circle with a line across (the no-entry traffic sign), with no way to go back or forward. So the computer has to be rebooted.
    Any suggestions as to how to get the Mac Mini to recognize bootable installers that MacBooks are able to see?

    Late 2012 Mac mini uses a special Mountain Lion version that it's only compatible with this Mac and you can only get on Internet Recovery because it's not available in the App Store. If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, press Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting
