Using v10.5.8 Where can I get v10.6 Snow Leopard?

I'm currently using Mac OSX 10.5.8 and want to upgrdae to Mountain Lion but need Snow leopard first.
Can anyone tell me where I can get Snow leopard from?

Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard.  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -          Read the Technical Specifications
Once you've upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard.          Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Remember to repair permissions both before and after each upgrade /update
You can no longer buy Snow Leopard from Apple retail, only as follows.  If you are in North America ...
Buying Snow leopard from Apple.        Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for a single.
Based in Europe or otherwise call your National Apple Helpline … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
You should also check the minimum specs for Mountain Lion. Apple - OS X Mountain Lion          Read the technical specifications.

  • Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

    Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

    I am a paid member of the developer program, and Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard does not appear in the downloads area. I just joined today and received email confirmation, but perhaps this update to my account has not worked its way through to Apple's back-end yet. Nevertheless, it appears that Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard is not available any more to anyone, whether they are paid members or not.

  • I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

  • How can I get rid of Snow Leopard?

    When Lion was released I installed it in it's own partition on the HD of my Macbook Pro. I can change between starting with Snow Leopard or Lion by choosing either " start up with Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Mackintosh HD" or Mac OS 10.7.1 on Lion.
    I am now happy enough to use Lion full time but I cannot seem to manipulate the partitions in any way.  Do I need to re-install Lion on the HD over Snow Leopard? Will that get rid of the existing Lion partition?
    Many thanks

    Ok, this is what happened
    1: You had Snow Leopard already installed which takes the first (and fastest) part of the hard drive
    2: You added another partition, formatted it HFS and installed Lion into it, likely there was no Recovery Partition installed when this occurred, Lion takes the second half of the hard drive which is slower.
    Now you want to get rid of the Snow Leopard partition and merge the two partitions together, unfortunately this is not going to occur with Disk Utility or even renaming Snow Leopard "BOOTCAMP" changing it's format to MSDOS and using Bootcamp to merge the two partitions.
    Also you need to address having the Lion Recovery Partition installed and moving Lion to the front part of the drive and utilizing all the space on the drive again.
    What your going to have to do is Carbon Copy Cloner both Lion and Snow each to their own blank HFS formatted external drives and disconnect.
    Hold c and reboot off the Snow Leopard install disks, erase the entire boot drive (select the makers name) and format HFS, install Snow, go through the setup (don't transfer files or install programs yet) Software update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore to option click on Purchases and redownload the Lion installer and install. This will restore your Lion Recovery Partition. (if you use the Lion boot DVDs on a blank drive, it will install the Lion Recovery Partition too, just not when you install into a partition like you did before)
    Once your fine on that, hold option and boot from the Lion Clone and clone that to your Lion partition and you'll be set.
    Carbon Copy Cloning defragments and optimizes on the fly by writing the files and folders according to their alphabetical order in the root directory, thus Applications is first and Users is last (Users being the most subject to change). As drives are fastest at the very front and slower as you work inwards, Applications and System will be faster (as they are smaller than Users) and Users files loading and write speeds will depend upon how much there is, which a person can easily control. As a result the boot drive stays optimized longer.
    For more performance tips read my guide

    The Snow Clone is a extra bootable backup and in case you decide to clone that to a second partition later.

  • Where can I get an old PPC Leopard install disc?

    I've got a Mac Mini G4 1.42ghz PPC 512mb ram. I need a leopard install disc but can't find one anywhere

    This amazon page offers a variety of sources.   Scroll down past the Snow Leopard offers.

  • How can I get past a Snow Leopard install disc hang-up?

    Trying to upgrade 2009 Mac Mini to Snow Leopard from 5.6.8. Install disc won't allow install to Mac HD because it insists Time Machine is using Mac HD for backups, but it isn't. Time Machine is using a partitioned 1T external drive. How can I get the install disc to acknowledge and upgrade on the internal HD?

    Allan, There was exactly that file on the internal HD - and on each of the three partitions of the external drive. I dragged all such files to the Trash, which seem to eliminate much of the file(s), but the Trash won't empty completely because of a message that "BootX" is locked, as is "boot.efi" - though I'm instructed to hold Option and Empty Trash (which won't hightlight; actually a "continue" button is the only choice in a dialog box). So now I'm not sure any of these "locks" are clearing; I want to re-start the computer before trying to install Snow Leopard again, and I can't have this hung up in the Trash in any case.  Anything more you could suggest?
    Thanks so much for your response and help.

  • Where can I find the free Snow Leopard upgrade for Mobile Me customers?

    I stopped by my local Apple Store yesterday and asked about purchasing Snow Leopard for my macbook.  I am a mobile me subscriber and I was told that there is a free upgrade available on apple.com.  I have searched, but cannot find the form to fill out to receive my disk.  Anyone know where I can find the application?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but that offer expired already. Mobile Me has shut down. You can still purchase Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store - $29.00.

    Then restart your Mac.

  • Where can I get Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7?

    I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Lightroom4 then I was told that I need Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7 in order to use it. My Mac is Mac OS X 10.5.8. I asked where I could find the appropriate version here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/18754476?ac_cid=op123456#18754476
    I bought the one my advisor recommended, but it was a wrong version and I still need Mac OS X v10.6.8. or 10.7.
    1. How can I return the disc I bought?
    2. Where can I get Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7, NOT ANY other version?

    1. Ask the seller for a refund.
    2. You need to purchase the Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD or Mac OS X 10.7 flash drive from a source such as the online Apple Store. Any Mac OS X 10.6.8 install DVDs you may come across are machine specific and can't be used to upgrade.

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

    Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
    When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
    So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.
