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)

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

NEED HELP GETTING NEW SOFTWARE AND ITUNES

Hello. I recently updated my iphone 4s to the most recent update. I don't know what it's called, sorry. Anyways, once I did this, my iphone was no longer recognized by itunes. It was recognized by my computer, however. Because of this I tried to download the newest itunes. It told me that I couldn't without 10.8.6 software. I did the "software update" on my computer and it did nothing. I then went onto the internet (apple) and tried to download 10.8.6. It said that I could not without 10.6. software? Anyways, I have been doing all that I can to get any sort of update but I'm not allowed to get anything since I lack 10.8.6 software. I trashed my old itunes as it was apart of the process of getting (what would be the new itunes) to recognize my phone. Now, I can't get itunes or any sort of software and I'm incredibly frustrated. I'm stuck and have no idea what to do or where to start. MY laptop is a macbook pro from 2009. (I am not tech savy and thus need basic explanations) I don't even know the software that I am currently running but please help. I am extremely frustrated as my music (which is one of the few things I use this computer for) is completely gone. HELP. Thank you so much

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 if supported by the device’s hardware.

Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

I have loaded new software and iMessages does not appear to be working. All messages appear as in delivered but they will send to the same address on my iPhone.

I messages does not appear to be working on iPad every time I type a message it comes up as in delivered but I can type the same message on my iPhone and it works straight away

MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly. I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

Just got a new hard drive, trying to down load new software and it tells me there is not enough hard drive space to install

I have a new hard drive on my Macbook. I am trying to install a program from a disk. I keep getting an error message that states I do not have enought free space on my HD. My storage shows that I have plenty of space to install. What do I need to do? I do not have any photos, music or movies on my computer. I haven't had time to reinstall any programs, so this is one program that I need to install and it won't let me install.

That refers to the RAM you have installed. Must be 2 GBs or more.

Purchased macair 2010 - have osx 10.6.8 can I upgrade directly to maverick or do i need lion, snow lion and any other lion first?

need to know if I have lion, snow lion or other. Looking at Mavericks upgrade but need to know if I have to upgrade to earlier versions first as it may be too big a jump. Help!

You can upgrade directly from Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:

2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

HT4623 My Iphone 4 is locked with the plug in icon and will not go away. My computer is not recognizing the device. I have tried to reboot it but it's frozen. I was updating it to the new software and it came up with an error and said it couldn't update

I was updating my Iphone 4 with the new software and while it was doing the download and update, an error window appeared and it said it couldn't update and now my phone is frozen with the plug in icon. I have tried to reboot it, pushing the power button and the home button and nothing is working

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Please tell us what kind of computer you have, what operating system and what version of iTunes. Not just "the latest version of iTunes", the exact version number.

My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available. they appear to be lost.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

I tried to install a new os x mountain lion, but the system asked me to provide the apple id and password that was used to buy the os from the apple store online. which i don't have. how do i go ahead to install my new os x on the mC

If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.
