Can I still buy Leopard?

I'm running an Intel Mac with 10.5.8, and I have it slaved to my powermac quad-core G5, which is still running 10.4.11. But in order to take full advantage of the slave, I need to upgrade it to Leopard.
The problem: Leopard's gone, and I don't think Snow Leopard will work on a G5.
Is there any way to upgrade the 10.4.11 on my G5 to Leopard, or am I outta luck?

You could still try Apple, but be very specific. I know when they released Leopard that of course they wanted you to buy Leopard and didn't want to hear the word "Tiger" (like disowning a bad relative). However, if you cried on their shoulder that your old G4 wasn't up to Leopard specs. but you needed to upgrade OS so you could send email to your sick granny in East Timor who had a cat that was on its deathbed in shock after the pet hermit crab died, they would actually find a copy of Tiger for you somewhere. The same may apply to people with ancient hardware like a G4 or G5 ("Why don't you just buy a brand new Apple computer?"). Just make it a good sob story.

  • Can you still buy Tiger?

    I want to upgrade to Tiger on a PowerBook G4 so it will be running the same system as other computers in the house. Can I still buy Tiger? All I can find in the Apple Store online is Leopard, and I don't want Leopard.

    You need to buy it from a 3rd party, and it's expensive ($150-200), unfortunately.
    Here's one example:
    http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/macosx10tire.html
    There are cheaper ones, I'm sure. You could try eBay/Craigslist. But, be careful! Be sure you are buying authentic retail discs - they will be black with the X. They will NOT be gray - those discs only work with the specific model and build they shipped with.
    Hope this helps...

  • Can I still buy OS X Lion?

    I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on my iMac6, 1
    When I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7) through App Store, I got the message, that my iMac model doesn't support Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Lion would also bring me iCloud support, but I can't find the kit in App Store.
    How can I still buy OS X Lion version?
    Thanks and regards, Christine

  • Can you still Buy CS3 Illustrator

    Can you still buy CS3 Illustrator ??? If so does anyone have a recommended site to buy it from??
    For those who upgraded from CS2 to CS3 did you see any advantage??
    I am looking to upgrade in hopes of correcting several software errors.

    No officialy you cant buy CS3 annymore.
    But you still can buy CS4 i think and than you have CS5 for free.
    And yes CS3, 4 and 5 are way better than CS2. CS2 was the worst CS version there was even CS1 was better than CS2.

  • Can I still buy a Ipad2 in the apple store or only online

    Within 3 weeks I'm leaving for a holiday to the USA and want to buy there a Ipad2.
    Can I still buy one in the Apple Stores or do I need to order a Ipad2 online and then pick it up in the store near where I stay?
    Because if You look online at the store they still selling/can order the Ipad2.

    Hi,
    It sounds as if you'll be on a great trip! The west coast is beautiful!
    First, to answer your important question, I called the Apple store in Seattle. The woman said, "Of course you can use a credit card from the Netherlands (and I'm pretty sure from any country) in any Apple store."
    And you do not need a US address. That's only for buying and/or repairing via US mail. Because of each country's sanctions, Apple cannot ship internationally. That's why for on-line buys, you must use a US credit card and prove it's going to a US address.
    Also, before traveling, you might look into your credit card company's policy on exchange rate. For example, if you buy an ipad on a given day at a given rate, your credit card might not charge you the rate at which you bought it. They might charge you the rate that it is on the day you are billed (billing date - that once a month date.) You might want to read up on it if you're not aware and get correct info directly from your card company. Or check out new ones, if necessary. I'm sure you know the euro to US dollar rate is in your favor. But be careful where you exchange money - no airports or hotels. 
    And it seems as if you've settled on an ipad 2 16 gb, your original plan. Great. When you said different sizes did you mean different space like 32 gb and 64 gb? If so, it's great that you'll have a choice.
    The woman I spoke with said there was only one Apple store in Seattle and it is not in the center of the city (it's near the Univ. of Washington,)  but you'll have a car, though, so it shouldn't be a problem. She did suggest, though that you might want to wait until you get to Portland because the tax in Seattle WA is 9.5% but there is no sales tax in Portland OR. That means with tax, in Seattle you'll pay $436.91 but in Portland you'll pay only $399.00 and save $37.91. That might or might not matter to you. 
    This is a little off topic, but if you are into photography and are using a camera (actually also any smart phone though you'll never get the quality a point and shoot or a dslr will give you) then you might want to consider buying a camera connection kit at the Apple store for $29.00. Whatever you take pictures with you can then put on your ipad. You'll see them better and can email them home/facebook if you like. If you do that, please read up before you go on how the camera connection kit works, and how you have to name pictures to go onto the ipad camera roll, etc. As a matter of fact, if you're near an Apple store at home, you might want to go in and ask for help. Of course, in Seattle, they can help you set up your ipad and explain anything you need to know.
    Great that you have your Apple ID. You'll also need your password...
    Have a wonderful trip! The scenery is beautiful and you're traveling to some beautiful and fun places. It sounds as if you are well traveled internationally and know much of the info I added, but just in case...
    If you have any questions about Apple in the US, you can let me know and I'll be happy to speak directly with an Apple store rep in Seattle and then get back to you.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can i still buy a warranty for my ipad even though i already bought it?

    Ive bought my ipad last week but i didnt buy a warranty with it, i bought it at target. But now i want a warranty in cause its damaged for any reason can i still buy one?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course. You can purchase AppleCare during the first year of warranty, or AppleCare+ during the 30 days after buying the iPad
    In countries where Apple now offers AppleCare+, the old AppleCare plan is not available unless perhaps calling the Apple Store directly yields an exception. Only in countries where Apple does not yet offer AppleCare+ is the original plan, that you can buy at any time while the factory warranty is in effect, still generally available.
    And for the original poster, you can purchase AppleCare+ up to 30 days after the purchase of the iPad, but you have to take the iPad to an Apple Store so they can certify that it's still in factory condition before you can buy AppleCare+.

  • Now that CS5 is out can one still buy CS4?

    Now that CS5 is for sale, can one still buy CS4 and how much would it be in the USA?

    Hello!
    (This post I'm answering should belong to the Creative Suite forum)
    When you purchase the Creative Suite production premium or master collection, it comes with CS4 versions of Premiere and After Effects.
    "To ease the transition to a 64-bit operating system, CS5 Production Premium and CS5 Master Collection include a 32-bit support package. The package contains 32-bit versions of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4."
    from: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/825/cpsid_82595.html (note that it is not the case for the standalone products)
    The production premium suite full version costs $1699 vs $1798 if you purchase the two separated. (and you get Photoshop extended, Illustrator, Flash, Soundbooth for free...)
    Hey, it should be like the App store, I should get 30% of the sale ;D

  • Can I still buy iMovie '11 from the App Store? (I have an older iMac with Snow Leopard which cannot run the current version, iMovie 10).).

    I am running Snow Leopard, and I bought a new camera (Canon Vixia HF R300). I am so far unable to download my movies into iMovie, and from what I have been able to ascertain, I need to upgrage to iMovie '11 to support the camera.
    I have read that iMovie '11 was available at the Mac App Store, but now I see that the App Store has the new version, iMovie 10.0, which my Snow Leopard mac cannot support. Can I still get iMovie '11 from the App Store?

    Apple has not made older versions of apps available in the MAS, only the most recent version. Apple constantly reminds folks that they alone are responcible for backing up their content purchases for the very reason that content may not always be available from the MAS in the future.
    To answer your question, no, a license for a particular version of an Apple app does not entitle you to older versions of the app.

  • Can you still buy a macbook pro with snow leopard?

    can you still purchase a new macbook with snow leopard?

    No.  However, some used and refurbished Mac shops still have MacBook Pros with a warranty sold with them*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
    And yes, they are Snow Leopard compatible.  July 20, 2011 is the cutoff date.   So be sure the model predates that vintage.

  • Can you still buy Mac book pro 2010

    Hey all, I have been seriouly thinking of buying Mac Book Pro 2010 model (one with Nvidia GPU in it)  I almost bought one few months back, but I couldn't get monthly payment option in Bestbuy.. And I ened up buy Asus laptop lol. As my old desktop cpu was getting old. Anywho.. I use to use Mac long ago in Highschool and they have come a long way since system 7.
    I have always wanted a Mac, Tired of mircsoft Bs and all virus/spyware and other crap. Just couldn't afford one.
    But hopefully that will be soon.
    I have been checking on-line and reading the reviews of the new Mac Book Pro 2011 models. I also notice they are now using ATI/Amd video GPU in then. Most people are not liking them,  Being that I am gamer, I do want decent laptop with atlest half decent video card.  I have read a lot reviews on older Mac book pro's wih Nvida gpu. I myself like Nvidia over Ati.
    Anywho i hope I can still get one before they are gone. My Question is...
    I love new i7 Cpu in my Asus has 8 cores in it.. Runs at 1.73 ghz & Boost upto 2.9 Ghz.. (intel core i7 740QM cpu )
    I'd love get that same Cpu in Mac book Pro with decent Nvida gpu...
    Can I still order or buy Macbook pro with Intel i7 cpu and still have Nvidia Gpu. Even though most Mac stores/ other computer stores that sell Mac have 2011 version with Crapy Ati Cards in then?
    Or once they gone, They gone? If I can order one, I just dont want miss out on good laptop.
    If anybody knows. Please get back to me, So know if I should be concerned or not. Thank you very much
    -Chester

    Actaully No...They aren't as good or as fast as Nvidia 330M Gpu..

    The older MacBook pro with Nvida Gpu has more memory Bus width.
    Faster memory speed and shader speed..
    Yes new macbook have faster 4 Core, i7 in them. Where 2010 only
    had 2 cores for i5 and i7..
    Check your stats for yourself... the new Ati is also only 64 Bit memory..
    Thats going create alot bottlenecks and lag..
    If I want to play say.. Portal 2, or Starcraft 2. I'm sure it would lag on ATI card..
    My current Asus i7 1.73 ghz  has better ATI Card then curent 2011 MBP.

  • Can you still buy the new iPad(3generation)

    I'm going to USA(i'm from sweden) in a couple of days and I flying home 1 november and Ipad 4 generation are relesed 2 november, so I wonder if I can still buy the third ipad now?

    Again, you'll just have to call the stores and ask. The 3rd-generation iPad has been discontinued, so it will depend completely on a dealer having remaining stock. If not, then the iPad 2 will be the only model available for a while. You can also try your local Swedish dealers.
    Regards.

  • Can I still buy cs5 for Mac?

    Okay so last year or so ago I bought the CS5 master collection (Student & Teacher edition) for Windows but now I have a Mac PC and want to use the software.
    I know I cannot use my existing serial number to cross platforms, so I want to buy CS5 again for my Mac instead.
    I am not interested nor keen on Creative Cloud at all (not into paying for a product forever), all I want to know is whether or not I can still buy CS5 products (disk or download)?
    Thanks in advance!

    As far as I knoiw you cannot buy older products thru Adobe.  You would have to take your chances with some third party vendor.  You can buy CS6 thru Adobe still however.  Creative Suite 6
