How to download/re-install 10.5?: On the road w/out my factory discs!

I have a 15" MacBook (black).
I am on the road w/out my orig factory OS discs.
I have a deep system corruption (user error: accidentally deleted some key files while trying to clean-up drive 'clutter')
I tried to reinstall OS from the new discs that came with my new 17" but no go.
I want to know how to:
1. Download most advanced version of OSX 10.5....
2. Burn the correct kind of disc (or run downloaded file to do install from my new 17" MBPro)
3. IF POSSIBLE do the above while saving the data (yes, i well back-up all...just in case).
Is this possible and can anyone here point me to clear instruction set and related OSX download link.
Thanks,
Standing by,

If you BUY a comp from Apple it COMES with the OS and discs for re-install.
Why can a registered owner be allowed to download?
Have we not paid enough?
Is it that complex to permission/manage licenses?
Is the need just not high enough?
sigh
Ok. Since there is only the option to mark here "solved" or "not solved" and no option for "Seriously Disappointed 20+ year user", I guess i should give up and close this thread?
RIGHT
this is a USER forum with NO Apple people and is NOT a place to complain about or to Apple - but a place to find very experienced users who can ASSIST you with what is there but can NOT make ANY changes or any sort
If you want to complain then go complain to Apple - not to the fellow users who are trying to help you (in this case you simply do not have the resources available to do what you need and no one here can change that)
Find a local Apple store or dealer and maybe they can help

How do I download and install premiere elements 12? where is it? how can I find it?

    I am assuming that the purchase and download is from Adobe. You should find the information that you seek under My Orders at http://www.adobe.com after you sign in (as per John's link).
    However, if you have difficulties in going that route, please contact Adobe via Adobe Chat to discuss your order under the topic of Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges. To do that, click on the following link, and, when it opens, make sure that the topic is set at "Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges", click on the statement "Still need help? Contact us." to bring up the Adobe Chat.
    Contact Customer Care
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • How  to Download and Install IBM  Jcop

    http://www.nfc-development.org/2007/01/how-to-download-and-install-ibm-jcop.html
    This is an excellent site for Java Card newbie.
    It points to the correct IBM site for Jcop software tools.
    Once it is successfully installed, you can find the user guide in doc,zip file under the directory \eclipse\com.ibm.bluez.jcop.eclipse_3.1.1.b
    Kindly provide feedback if you have obtained the activation code from IBM from the instructions as I do not need one at the moment.

    Or try this one:

  • How to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2

    Where i find all the step to
    how to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2
    i DON'T FIND NOTHING OF VERY GOOD TO FOLLOW !!!

    hi
    u do not need to install any webutil in R2 u just need to configure few things.
    please read the following notes and try to configure.
    How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
    Solution
    Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
    here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
    Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
    Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
    [OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
    copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
    1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
      and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
    2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
      [JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
         cd [JacobStage]
         copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
         copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
      The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
    3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
      Open a DOS command prompt.
      Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
         set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
      Sign the files, and check the output for success:
         [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
         [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
    4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
      you may skip this step. Otherwise,
      Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
      connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
      for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
      Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
      out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
      errors.
      Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
         CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
         DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
         TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
         GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
         CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
         @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
         -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
         CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
      Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
         grant execute on webutil_db to public;
    5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
      to the CLASSPATH entry.
    6) Start the OC4J instance
    7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
      Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
      It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
      Note 303682.1
      If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
      full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
    8) Create a new FMB.
      Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
      There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
      Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
      Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
             NULL;
      to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
      Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
             show_webutil_information (TRUE);
      in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
      Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
    9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
      the "Application Server URL" is empty.
      Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
          http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
    10) Run your form.

    Hello, actully i didant find any camera in my ipad 4, so how to download and install it?

    I am guessing you mean the Camera software icon.  There are front and rear hardware cameras on your iPad if indeed is an iPad 4.
    See this figure.  The camera icon looks like the one in the upper right.  If you don't see it, try Settings > General > Reset > Rest Home Screen Layout

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.
