I want to restore to 2013 on mac 10.5.8

My system has somehow lost all information and i want to restore my MAC 10.5.8 to 2013 how do I do this without the original start up disc

There is a lot of confusion here as to what you really want.
No 2013 Mac can run 10.5.8.
Niel's advice about 10.6.8 should not ever be mentioned for any PowerMac, if that's what you have, since PowerMacs won't run 10.6.8.  The latest they will run is 10.5.8, although the Intel Macs could run 10.5.8 if they are older than August 28, 2009.
PowerMacs were last on the scene in early 2006.
10.5.8 was last new before August 28, 2009.
10.8.5, if you switched the numbers was the operating system from September 12, 2013.   
Use this tip to identify your Mac:
http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
Only Macs older than July 20, 2011 came with pre bundled discs (the exception is Macs whose model was not refreshed until later, such as the October 24, 2011 MacBook Pro).   Others require an internet restore.
Note: Classic refers to the virtualized operating system for PowerMacs available under Mac OS 10.4.11 or earlier for Mac OS 9 from 2001 or earlier.

  • I want to restore my phone by connecting my Iphone4 to iTunes in Mac but it doesn't show phone device. What should i do now??????

    I have problem when I updated iOS7 yesterday. At first, there was a message popped out in my Iphone 4 said "iOS7 available for u to update, then i clicked "update", then it said "wait while it verifying", after that my phone tuned blank and what i saw was only the "logo of apple". Until now i see only that Apple logo, i can't either switch my phone on or off.
    My iTunes in Mac is just updated to version 11.1
    I want to restore my phone by connecting my Iphone4 to iTunes in Mac but it doesn't show phone device.
    I don't know why it doesnt connect to pc(Mac pro).
    Any solution?

    You need to restart the phone in DFU mode and update the software.
    To restart the phone in DFU mode press the power and home button simultaneously for like 10 seconds once the phone is switched off release the power button keep holding the home button while you connect to the computer which has Itunes running and then you can restore or update the software, you can download the update and connect after the software has been downloaded if your phone disconnects, And enjoy you new IOS7.

    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

  • Mac wants to restore my Windows iPod...

    I just bought my first mac today, and when I connected my 5G iPod (which is obviously formatted to Windows) it wanted to restore it to factory settings. Is there some way I can get around this without losing all my music, or if I do format it, could I still connect to my PC to get my music back? Because I could just reload all my CDs, but there's stuff on my iPod which is from other people, which I won't be able to replace. I was surprised that it wanted to restore my iPod, because earlier in the year I connected it to a friend's mac without any trouble.
    Thanks in advance

    I get this to, when you first connect the ipod does a little window pop up? if it does, what does it say?

  • My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • Getting out of disk utility when you want to restore your Mac???

    I wanted to restore my Macbook Pro early 2011, so I shut down my computer then turned it on and held down option. I got to the disk utility app but now I'm having second thoughts about restoring it. I can't get out of disk utility and get back to my homescreen... Any help? It's been irritating me a lot.

    If you've erased everything, then you need to reinstall OS X:
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

    How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • Office 2013 for mac.

    Hi Apple people.
    I just wanna know that if u have something idea about "Office 2013" for mac.
    U know what i mean, the office 2013 that is not the subscription one.
    I dont wanna use the office 365 because its no sense at all. I want the whole software which i can use whenever i want until i want to uninstall i
    Are'nt the Microsoft will build a Office 2013 for mac?
    I hope they will make so.
    Or maybe i should just buy the Microsoft Office 2011 for mac instead incase of there will be no office 2013.
    I'm new to mac world, i havnt install any office software yet. I was looking at the office 2011 but i said there will be a 2013 version,

    While only Microsoft knows its plans for Office for Mac, it's clear that Microsoft is pushing users to a subscription base rather than, as you put it, "software which i can use whenever i want until i want to uninstall i," which happens to be what I prefer, too. Yesterday, I installed the free Office 2013 upgrade after having recently purchased (the 3 user pack) and installed Office 2010 on a Windows Virtual Machine. First, you get one 2013 license whether you bought the 1 or 3 user Office 2010 install, whereas the Office 365 upgrade choice (you could pick either with the Office 2010 purchase) gets you five installations, at least for one year. Second, I believe you can move those 365 installations around, while with the computer based install, you can't deactivate it on one machine and reuse the license on another, at least not without dealing directly with Microsoft. Third, the subscription system is supposed to get you any full upgrades (e.g., 2013 to 2015), while the disk based 2013 is it; you'll have to buy 2015 fresh, if there even is such a thing by then. So you can see the push is towards subscriptions by making them a much better deal, at least price-wise.
    On the other hand, I was surprised to find that the 2013 installation didn't delete the 2010 installation. And in comparing the two, the 2010 interface is more pleasant to work with, and if you don't need or trust the Cloud, the big new feature in 2013 is the ability to open and edit pdf files. Some quick tests of that suggest that on simple pdf's, the feature works pretty well, but add a bunch of graphics and/or complex text flow, and it's the difference between uncooked and cooked spaghetti.
    Finally, there are free office clones available, such as LibreOffice http://www.libreoffice.org/download or OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html which can get the job done, though they're not quite MS Office.

  • Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

    Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
    A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
    Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
    Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
    No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
    Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
    Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
    Notes
    The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
    The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
    All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
    Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

    Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
    Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

    Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!
