You can purchase Mac OS X 10.5 from any retail Apple Store, the online Apple Store (click the Store tab at the top of these pages), or any authorized Apple dealer including Amazon. Retail price of Mac OS X 10.5 is $129.00.
You do not need Mac OS X 10.5 to have the latest version of QuickTime, though. You just need to download the correct version of QuickTime. Go to this web page:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
and click the button next to "QuickTime 7.5.5 for Tiger" ("Tiger" is the name for Mac OS X 10.4) and click the Download button. Then install that .
Or, as Joe suggested, just use Software Update which should download and install all the correct software updates for your system.
Regards.

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

    I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
    Thanks.

    Krispy2010,
    Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
    Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store.  Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
    Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
    However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned.  It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

  • Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

    Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
    When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
    However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
    I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
    Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help, cannot download software updates after HD erased!

    Hello community,
    Back story: I'm an ISM major, so I'm typically pretty good with computers. I've also played with some torrents and I understand the risks that come with them but I'm someone who does my research before downloading. Well, I have Leopard (running 10.6.3 currently) and obviously, I kept up to date all the way up to 10.6.8. However, I wanted to get Lion so I downloaded a copied version of the "App Store" version of OS X Lion. This is where the issue begins. I started downloading then in the middle of the download it says cannot continue, hard drive has an issue or has failed (something of that nature).
    Issue: So, I erased my HD completely. It was the only option, especially since I lost my original Macbook Pro discs (2008 version Macbook). I erased it, even the Apple guy on the phone agreed that if I did this I should be good to go. Well, I'm not. I'm trying to get back to 10.6.8 so I can start recooping all my lost stuff but when it goes to download the combo update it always stops midway through saying "cannot connect to server" or "update may be corrupt," etc. I don't understand the issue...this may as well be a brand new computer again, no? I'm very computer savvy but this is just boggling my mind. I've searched hundreds of topics and nothing works. For the longest time I was getting "invalid checksum." SO, I erased my HD again, don't get that anymore, and now I'm back to the "update corrupt" issue.
    Someone please help me, I'll be checking this every couple minutes all night. I couldn't get a Genius appointment until Thursday so I'm trying to just fix this myself.
    PS: Everything works fine, I can download everything as usual, etc. I literally just cannot get any Apple stuff. I've even tried downloading it from the page to avoid the "Software Update App" and it still screws up.
    Thanks!

    I have Leopard (running 10.6.3
    Leopard is 10.5.x, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard.
    I wanted to get Lion so I downloaded a copied version of the "App Store" version of OS X Lion
    Wouldn't work even if it downloaded succesfully, Lion & up are internally keyed to UUIDs, Apple IDs, & more.
    Try the 10.6.8 Update directly...

  • Help-cannot download podcast from itunes to ipod.  error msg

    I have the IPOD video 30gb, 5th generation, and have itunes 7.02..
    I am able to download the podcast from itunes into my library, but am unable to download it onto my ipod. an error msg pops up:
    "...was not copied to the IPOD because it cannot be played on this IPOD."
    I've searched and searched for an answer to this, and it appears to be a somewhat common problem with the itunes upgradeto 7.02
    does any one have a solution?!?
    HELP! (i'm an ipod newbie-and this is driving me absolutely MAD!!)

    OMG-i just figured it out!!
    *first of all, i came across this in the itunes store help area-->
    "Why won't some video podcasts play on my iPod?
    Some video podcasts, while playable in iTunes, are encoded in formats that are not compatible with iPods. To convert those videos so that they are iPod-compatible, highlight the video in iTunes, right-click on the selection, and choose "Convert Selection for iPod". iTunes will automatically re-encode the video for playback on iPod. Go to the Movies section of your Library to find and play the converted episodes.
    *i had converted the podcast previously, but i had just continued to try and transfer it from the podcast section rather than going to the movie's section, and dragging it from there. once i did that, it worked!
    hope this helps anyone else out there, as i did come across a few other queries...

  • I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and cannot download a new purchase to my ipod.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this has not helped - I am desperate as I depend on my ipod for listening to books

    My ipod touch has lost touch with my itunes account.  I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and a nook I downloaded from audible.com last week is on my itunes but I cannot syn it to my ipod.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this did not work and I now have a different screen with itunes which I am not familiar with.  I need my ipod for audiobooks and podcasts because I have a visual impairment.

  • Help, cannot download itunes 7.5 to my XP windows, please help me

    Hi, just purchased a new ipod shuffle gen 2 on the weekend. Have tried numerous times to download i tunes 7.5 but it keeps coming up with error message, itunes75setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. And it just wont go any further. This is very frustrating as i cant even play my new ipod. does anybody know how to help me??

    Try downloading a copy of the installer to a different PC (preferably one in which an iTunes 7.5 install has already gone through successfully).
    burn the iTunes75Setup.exe (installer) file to a CD-R (or copy it to an external harddrive, and carry the CD or ExHD back to your PC. Copy the iTunes75Setup.exe to your desktop (don't try to run the install from the exHD or CD), and then try starting the install by doubleclicking the iTunes75Setup.exe on the desktop.
    Does that go through any better?

  • Help Please - my downloaded videos do not work on Ipod !

    Can someone help please - my ipod has stopped playing videos back - I have downloaded some video podcasts and a couple of music videos, and all you see is the first screen, however the voice is fine?

    Have you update your ipod to firmware 1.2 yet? My guess is the videos you download are in the new 640x480 format which only updated ipod can play.
