HT2261 how can i download mac osx 10.5

hi i want to download mac osx 10.5 how can i do

Note, MacBook Pros newer than October 26, 2007 may need to watch out which 10.5 installer disk they get.
Apple released 10.5.1, 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 as retail releases.    Given the fact that Apple has 10.6 available and it is compatible with more applications than 10.5, and has more current security updates available, I would say that for MacBook Pros it is far better to purchase 10.6, and bring it up to 10.6.8, than buy any version of 10.5.  Only a few applications can run on 10.5 only.  Everything you needed to know about 10.6 is here:

If you don't rely that heavily on old software you may want to jump straight to 10.7 or later after that:

  • TA48312 How can I download Mac OSX 10.6 snow leopard

    Hi ,
    I use to Mac OS X v10.5.8 but I want to update to my MacBook and I need to Mac OSX v10.6 snow leopard... ???

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard is not free. It can be purchased in a DVD at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files onto an external drive with Time Machine. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you will be able to install iTunes 11.1.4.
    If you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade

  • I just reset my macbook pro , but I can't download MAC OSX Mavericks

    I got a used macbook pro 2011 version, it had a admin password so I reset it and erased the hard drive, I tried to reinstall mac osx mavericks but its says I needed my app store account to download it, I signed in but now it says that I never downloaded Mavericks

    You'll neeed to install the version of OS X that your Mac shipped with before you can use you own Apple ID to install Mavericks.
    Boot using Internet Recovery - holding down the command, option and R keys whilst booting. You'll be booting from Apple's servers and it will take awhile to get to the Recovery screen (you'll see a globe when you're first connecting to the Apple servers - then you'll finally get to the Recovery screen).
    Once at the Recovery screen, use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive. After the hard drive is prepped, use Install OS X to install the version that shipped with your machine (unless it shipped with Snow Leopard in chkech case you should have discs). After you boot to Lion (? hopefully) you can sign onto the Mac App Store and download and install Mavericks using your own Apple ID.
    The only problem I forsee is if you have an Early 2011 model that shipped with Snow Leopard. If that's the case you're going to have to call Apple and, with your serial number handy, order a set of machine-specific discs.
    Give Internet Recovery a try, though.

  • How can upgrade my Mac OSX 10.5.8 to the Mac ion 10.7?

    I purchased a new iPod nano and when I tried to plug it in, it tells me to upgrade the itunes software. I did that, now it is telling me to upgrade my Mac OSX software to 10.7. Uggghhh. How tdo i accomplish that?

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run Software Update. No further OS upgrades are needed.

  • Can't Download Mac OSX Mavericks with Mac OSX 10.7.5

    something appears to be wrong here. I go to download mavericks from the app store but no download occurs (can't believe I have to use App store for this).  i'm on a late 2011 mac powerbook.  download shows up in launchpad with a status bar that never moves.  mac app store won't acknowledge download when i press the download button.  no status update on the mac app store, it just thinks about it for a second and then goes back to displaying the word "download"  I have seen this same problem on this forum but have not seen an answer that works for my situation.  anti virus disabled, firewall disabled, gatekeeper set to allow for app store.  Any suggestions?

    To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
    If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
    Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
    When it's finished downloading it looks like this:
    If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
    Open the Mac App Store.
    From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
    Click the Resume button next to the app name.

  • How can i download Mac OS X version 10.7????

    i started using an old macbook, but i cant download to newst updates unless i have Mac OS X version 10.7

    What model is your MacBook/ To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The model 1,1 can not run Lion, all others can once you're running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from the Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • How can I install Mac OSX on a computer with no OS

    I just bought a PowerMac G5, but it has no OS and the graphics card is shot. I have tried booting via Firewire, but nothing showed up in Start Up Disks. What can I do?

    Try to find one on e-bay but if you buy the gray disks be careful as they are machine specific and will have to be for a G5.
    If you buy the full retail version these are black and will work on most machines.
    Just ask questions or find out what OS X version your G5 came out with.

  • How can I download adobe air version 2.74 to my Mac OSX 10.5.8?

    How can I download adobe air version 2.74 to my Mac OSX 10.5.8?

    In the end it worked for me as well. Once I uninstalled any previous version and any version that I tried to install and didn't work, then installed the 2.7.1 the Advent Calendar that I wanted to show animation worked. I know, a small thing, but I really wanted it to work.
    Thanks, Klaus1!

  • How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    I am assumming these DVDs are your own personal property and are NOT rented or borrowed DVDs.
    Once again, assuming that you own these DVDs, I recommend using Mac DVDRipper Pro to extract the content from your PERSONAL DVDs. I have it installed on my computer and it rips DVD's at maximum speed and uses very little processing power.
    You can find more info. about Mac DVDRipper Pro at the following link...
         http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31118/mac-dvdripper-pro/
    ... About converting the extracted video to a format that can be played on an iPod or iPad, I'll let someone else take a jab at that.

  • How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1?

    How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1? I go to the right place on the Brother website and instead of downloading a driver it says there is a problem. Also something I did download and stuff on the CD provided with the printer is for a PC not a MAc. Help please.

    OK, connecting a Wi-Fi printer is a 2 step process.
    Connect printer to your network
    Have computer to "see" printer on the network.
    Follow Apple's steps for connecting a Wi-Fi printer in Printing in OS X. Read the article in it's entirety before installing.

  • How can I download Microsoft office excel  for my MacBook Pro Mac OSX version for free. Please help me!

    How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro  for free?

    You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
    If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

  • How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
    The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
    And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
    (However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
    There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
    in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
    You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
    get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
    So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
    Good luck & happy computing!
