I need to restore my IMAC to factory setting but i donot have the disks, where can i purchase mac os x for 10.5.8

I need to purchase mac os x for 10.5.8
would anyone know which version disks i need and where i can purchase them?
I have one pair of disks from my new version of imac but when i try to reset it tells me that this disk can not be used

you can try and call apple sales 1.800.my.apple. but that is a long shot. You will most likely need to purchase the retail disk on the secondary market and the 10.5 disk is very expensive, and I don't believe it will contain the applications.

I have the ipod nano (3rd gen.), Instead of updating my songs, it resetted my ipod to factory setting but when I reconnected the ipod it said to format but it won't format because the ipod is showing that it is syncing. what do i need to do?

I went to update my songs but instead of updates, i lost everything. I didn't know that I lost everything until I unplugged and went into my ipod. It had been resetted to factory setting. Well I reconnected to try again,, it tells me to format but it won't cause the ipod shows that it is trying to sync but it's not. What should I do or is my ipod nano finally saying it's goodbye.

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

My contacts book will not open so I reset to factory settings but I still have the same problem what can I try next?

The address book on my iPad2 will not open although it did before I downloaded iCloud. Following the manual instructions, I reset the iPad to network settings but the address book will still not open. I would be grateful for any advice on what to do next.

Have you an iCloud email address? Try deleting it temporarily.

I bought a mac 2 days ago and transferred some files on there using migration assist which I did not want to. How do I restore my imac to factory settings so I can start again?

I bought a mac 2 days ago and transferred some files on there using migration assist which I did not want to. How do I restore my imac to factory settings so I can start again?

Look in /Users folder. You can go to System Preferences > Users & Groups, open the lock and "-" delete the account it created.
This is a problem whenever you use migration assistant after the initial install. The proper way to run Migration Assistant is in Setup Assistant when you first boot your Mac. I don't know why Apple isn't clearer about this issue.
