HT1752 How can I buy or obtain a copy of OSX 10.4 (Tiger)

I have a 15in lampshade iMac desktop. It bricked itself and won't go past the gray screen. Long story short, I need a copy of OSX 10.4. I just want to reinstall the entire OS. How do I either buy it from Apple, since everyone tells me its obsolete (obviously?) and they don't support it - the Geniouses tell me to order it online and I cannot find any place to do that. Help? (And please don't tell me to upgrade... I already have several other computers. I just want this thing as more than a fancy paperweight on a desk).

Just asking you did try the number I gave above (800-767-2775)? I found that on another forum I think for someone looking for replacement System discs.
When the person from Apple answered - I had to give him the serial number from the PC- to which he replied it was out of warranty.. but what was it I was calling for? I explained I had the system- but no disc to load the OS and I read on the web Apple would send me a copy. He asked what version I wanted- and I *THOUGHT* I needed 10.4 Tiger. So he repeated, "I understand you to be asking you want to purchase a copy of OSX 10.4 Tiger correct?' I confirmed and so he looked it up and said he could send me the copy above for $16 and ~$1 shipping.
Then I asked what would it take to get Leopard.. he just repeated, 'You would like to purchase a copy of OSX 10.5 Leopard, Correct?" (Something like that anyway) - and I confirmed- he looked it up and said he could send me that as well for $16 and ~$1 shipping. Whole thing took about 20 minutes on the phone with them.
Hopefully you are able to get ahold of someone as helpful as the person I reached... wish I knew what else to tell ya. I should have written down my support person's name... he would be getting a lot of calls I'm sure.

How can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

how can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

No, it is contract-free (meaning no 2-year contract that you are locked into), but it is not unlocked. Here is what the Apple iPhone 6 site says about the T-Mobile contract-free device:
If you have selected an iPhone for T-Mobile, it will come with the appropriate nano-SIM, but you will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
In order to activate it, you have to select a T-Mobile plan and pay for it (it is monthly). Once the device has been activated, you can use other compatible SIMs with it.
When the unlocked phone is released at a later date, this is what the site says about it:
If you have selected an unlocked GSM phone, you can insert your own nano-SIM card or obtain one from the supported GSM carrier of your choice and activate it in order to use your iPhone.
So, the T-Mobile is not unlocked. It is contract-free, and you will be paying for at least one month's worth of service from T-Mobile.
Cheers,

You are at the mercy of the content owners/copyright holders. They decide what the Apple can sell in each iTS.

You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc

I have store credit on iTunes (on my pc) but it doesn't use it when I click 'buy' on an album, it just wants me to select a credit card type. How can I buy the album?

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

How can I buy it on my Apple ID so I can use Recovery to put my MBP to function once again? Help D=

My MBP just failed, bought it from a friend and dont have an Apple ID with Lion, Lion is no longer on the App Store so, how can I buy it on my Apple ID so I can use Recovery to put my MBP to function once again? Help D=
Or what else could I do? I don´t have any USB to reinstall the OS and my DVD Unit is death, but it seems I can reinstall over Wi-Fi if Im able to link an OS X Lion license to my Apple ID

You would need to call Apple Sales (USA 1-800-MY-APPLE) and purchase a redemption code for Lion.

If anyone can tell me how i could possibly get these that would be great thanks

OS X is the same no matter where you buy it. You can switch it to Japanese or one of 30 other languages in few seconds via the system preferences.
If you want a Japanese keyboard as well, you can select that when you configure your purchase:

How can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?

how can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?
I have used a local visa card and I cannot buy movies or tv shows on Apple TV as I get a message saying that I have to buy them from the Jordanian iTunes store!!

It does seem a bit off that the rules are that stringent....
This is not a decision made by Apple.
It is made by the copyright holding music or television companies and is part of the contract with the recording artist or program producer. They make the decision as to what territories are distributed to and what territories are left out.

I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

How can I buy a definitive licence of Lr 3.6 or 4.0?

How can I buy a definitive licence of Lr 3.6 or 4.0? Someone help me?

sspengel: absolutely! I tried those options over the phone too (I was ready to call any service anyway, so I probably tried them all at the end ! ) - only the CC service answered the phone, and actually put me on hold for 35 minutes.
Still, allow me to come back to the initial question from dreamsepixels, and I wish he/she is reading the posts.
You may be able to find Lightroom 4 through Amazon Warehousedeals, but you certainly need to be US resident. Try the below link, and let us know.

Let us know if you live elsewhere, I found some website for France and Norway (english version of the software, but most probably french/norwegian webpage to go through! )
