Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

How can I sync and save my important info I need to restart my Iphone to original settings

Hoq can I sync my phones and sva allinfo in my computers and also restore fore to my origial settings I can download music problems qith sound Thanks

Plug it in to your computer and back it up, then reset and choose "restore this iPhone from a previous backup". An alternative method is to do an icloud backup, but the computer is easier...

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I deleted my old email address and now I can't acess icloud because I can't remember my password to the icloud account. It is not allowing me to log in obviously and now my old email is showing under the settings now do i need to reset the iphone?

I deleted my old email account and when i went to change everything on my iphone it still shows the old email even though i created a new apple id. I also can't remember the password and now can't access icloud. Do i need to reset the phone?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I changed my Apple ID but my iTunes hasn't updated so I can't access it...do I need to reset all devices to factory settings? or how else do I get the iTunes to link to Apple ID?

I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!

All the photos from my computer were transferred to my iphone. I don't know what I did to make that happen and I can't even delete them from my phone. I had to reset and restore my phone to original settings and lost all my iphone photos and contacts and messeges. Has this happened to anyone who might know how to fix this or next time I sync my iphone to prevent the photos from my computer from downloading onto my phone?

You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone, sync

How can i reset my macbook to original settings?

Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the 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 the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Security Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

How do I reset my elements9 to original settings? My clone stamp is suddenly goofy.

My cloning stamp is suddenly doing things differently, but I didn't knowingly make any changes, so I'd like to reset the program to its original settings but I don't know how. Thanks for any help.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

HT201363 I need to reset my security questions, but how? I forgot them and would like to change them.

I have got a new iPhone, and some itunes gift cards. but I try to buy some music via iphone and it ask for security questions. I have forgot both and would like to resey them. Is there a way to do this? Or can I just make a new account and transfer the money on the new account from the old?

Hello J3nyf3r,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
If you decide not to provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and answers yourself later in the event you can't remember the answers to your questions. You'll need to contact iTunes Store supportto have your questions and answers reset.
Have a nice day,
Mario

HT201363 i need to reset my security Q !

i dont hv this option - tab to reset your security question ?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
