Where can I free download a version for 10.5.4 to update the software? Because I'm trying in Updating Software and it get freezing

Im tying to use itunes, but I can't, because it advice to me a window, which tell me that I need to install a new software.
So, I try to install it in my computer and I can't. There is a window telling me "Updating 1 Software"... And nothing happens.
What can I do?
Thank you very much, I appreciate your help

The first thing I would d is run the Software Update to see is there are updates available for iTunes. That may be the software update you need. If there isn't an upgrade for iTunes, you might consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.x. I don't know what version they are selling at the present time, but get 10.6 and install it and then run Software Update which will bring 10.6.x up to the latest version which is 10.6.7. The upgrades, if any are needed after you purchase and install 10.6, will be free. Another though - the latest upgrade to 10.5 is 10.5.8. Try downloading those upgrades first and see if that solves your problems. If it does, you can forget about 10.6.x for now. OS X 10.7.x is due out this summer, so you might be able to install that when it becomes available and skip the uograde to 10.6.

Dear Brother David,
You are way out of order and actually just wrong and seem to lack any empathy or understanding for users, let alone anything other than text book/google regurgitations.
I thank you for highlighting your illusions of granduer and for your wonderful, thoughful and intelligent insults.
I re- post a fix below that worked for me:
As a user and you may find this bug, you can either ring apple or try the below,
All my apps now appear in the purchases section of App store and iMovie also updated itself.
I have only one ID software is presinstalled and software was "not hidden" or even showing...I just got various error messages and ID errors.
It was not spotlight indexing either.
cheers

Re: App Store: says You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software - when it came with the computer!!

I had a similiar problem that I fixed doing this:
Close Mac App Store
Go into this folder
/Library/Application Support/App Store
Drag this file to the desktop
adoption.plist
Repen Mac App Store and log in
If it fixes your problem, great, if not, you can move the old adoption.plist file back"

How do I repair this

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

If it wasn't Apple who replaced the battery, then you've voided your warranty. Bring it back to whomever replaced the battery and tell them they probably broke your phone.

I am trying to update iTunes and am getting an error message The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

Hi, I am trying to get help with an update install of iTunes. When I opened iTunes the other day, it told me there was an update to version 10.6.1. When I tried to install this version I received the following message " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall. It gave me the following message " The path C:\documents and settings\network service\local settings\application data\apple\apple software update\iTunes.msi cannot be found. I tried running Windows fixit, but this did not solve the problem. Can anyone tell me how to finish uninstalling the old iTunes file, so I can reinstall the newest version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Regards, Paul
