how do i get a recovery disk or download for os 10.5.8? my system was installed by an apple store when replacing my hard drive. i did not get a backup disk. macbook is a 1.1 from mid 2006 and 10.5.8 is as far as i can go.. use this as a utility backup when my new macbook pro with mt lion screws something up---which seems like a daily event. do i have to install a lesser version of leopard then install the update. does software update even work anymore for leopard? im so in the dark and when i look at the console i just freak.
Hello, your best bet would be to clone your drive to an external drive, which will be bootable.

You're not likely to see any updates show up for 10.5.x
The very first MacBook 1,1s can actually run 10.6, which is updatable to 10.6.8, but will only run in 32 bit mode on yours.

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?
I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
Thanks so much!To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
1. Type fsck -fy
2. Type mount -uw /
3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself. -
how do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?
Hi MrRhea,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
Best regards,

I have 3 songs waiting to download for 3 days. I am unable to swipe to delete and I have rebulit my itunes libary which did not remove the songs from my phone. What do I need to do to get rid of these songs?
Hi RadarCat16,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
Have a great day,

I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 to activate. I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial numbers. I can't find a number that works to speak to a live person at Adobe. I need to reduce the pixel size TODAY on some photos and need the program. Is there another way to reduce pixels if I can't get my Photoshop running today?
Intertech Design wrote:
Where do I get the specially assigned serial number????? I don't want to have to purchase anything since I already bought the CS2 and I don't need a newer version.
Follow the prompts at the link provided by Ned.
Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.
It's free for existing owners of CS and CS2. Nothing more to purchase. -
hi i am using OS 10.8.5 i have a problem moving items to trash when i move a specific thing to trash it deletes from that folder but does not appear in trash and my hard drive space is not getting free i am a new user to mac kindly help me out
When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway. -
When I changed computers, my IPADII did not get the apps I had purchased when synching. It did get themusic, calendar and related items. I tired Restore, but that did not work. what do you suggest?
I would try first in iTunes right clicking on your iPad and selecting "Transfer Purchases from iPad". This will add any new downloads from your iPad to your computer. Then click on the iPad and at the top choose Apps and make sure you have "Sync Apps" checked. I hope that helps.

Replaced my hard drive and can't get snow leopard back...
I replaced my hard drive and reinstalled the operating system using my "Leopard" install CD. But I had purchased "Snow Leopard" and now have no idea how to get "Snow Leopard" back. Itunes won't work for some reason...everything else is fine. I do have my time machine...but I had so much junk on their I don't want to just restore it... I want a fresh computer with what I had purchased..."Snow Leopard"...so that I can maybe upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Can someone help?You need to reload it from the DVD you used to install it. If you've lost that, the online Apple Store sells them.

When the Apple techs at their store setup my new MacBook Pro, my first Apple product they evidently acted as The Administrator. They did not tell me about this process or give me a password. So now when I need the password I have no idea what it is, etc. The Apple store is 60 miles from where I live. A challenge to just go in and get help. How can I find my password or set a new one?

Hard drive partitions are not showing in Startup DIsk
My hard drive is partitioned into two volumes. HD1 & HD2 (Both 500 MB)
I had Snow Leopard installed on one (HD2) and Mavericks istalled on the other.(HD1)
Both volumes were visible in the Startup Disk option in System Preferences and I could restart from either.
I upgraded the Mavericks istallation to Yosemite - worked OK.
System Disk option showed both HD1 & HD2
Restarted the Mac from HD2 in Snow Leopard mode - no probs.
Then the problem started. I wanted to restart from HD1 in Yosemite mode.
Went in System Preferences to Startup Disk option - HD1 did not show in the window - only HD2 (Snow Leopard) & Network Startup.
Any ideas anyone? (Could be a bug?)When I restarted using Com+Opt+P+R it went into Yosemite mode with both volumes showing in Startup disk.
Restarting with HD2 (Snow Leopard) gave me the same problem again. -
How much does Apple charge to replace a hard drive?
I have a Macbook I bought in the Summer of 2008 (not sure the model, etc.) I know it was the smallest memory (a.k.a. cheapest model) if that helps at all. I got a screen with a flashing folder/question mark this morning and everything I've read points to a hard drive failure. I did all the troubleshooting that Apple has on the website and nothing worked. I'm going to take it to the Apple store within the next week, but I was wondering how much Apple would charge to replace the drive. For the record... I'm NOT tech savvy at all, and I am not going to replace it myself... I know it's cheaper, etc. but it's not worth it to me.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!The brand of hard drive isn't that important to me. They're pretty much all the same. As to size, whatever you think you might need. Look at the ones at Newegg.com. A large hard drive doesn't cost that much more than a small one.
Since your old hard drive died you'll need to start fresh after you've installed the new drive.
Drive Preparation
1. Start up from the installer disk (hold down the C key or hold down the Option key after you hear the chime) When you get to the Install screen select Disk Utility under Utilities on the top menu.
2. After Disk Utility loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.Click on the Erase tab and set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) and click Erase
3. After it has erased click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window.
4. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
5. Quit Disk Utility and install the Mac OS -
Installed Windows7 Ultimate on thinkpad w530 but many of the drivers did not get installed
Has anyone else had a similar problem
My only option appears to be downloading all the drivers from the lenovo site individually and then installing drivers for each. But, I am surprised that Windows did not find the drivers for each of these components, especially the wireless adapterHi suhaim, welcome to the forums,
did your W530 come with a version of Windows 7 pre-installed and did you create the recovery discs?
The easiest way to install Ultimate would have been to run an "Any Time Upgrade" of the pre-installed Windows 7 system using your Ultimate license number, if you created recovery discs this is still possible after recovering the system. (Assuming bit versions sre the same).
Another method of obtaing all drivers after a clean install would be to install ThinkVantage SystemUpdate this should get and install the drivers for you.
