What do I do if I cannot download mac osx due to no space on my computer?

I cannot download Mac OSX due to not enough space on my computer. What do I do to
create space?

Free up space.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

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.

Fan noise after downloading Mac OSX 10.4.6

After I downloaded Mac OSX 10.4.6 I noticed that my fans made a little noise and seem to be somewhat louder. This was not the case prior to me downlaoding the new version of Mac OSX. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what is the remedy?

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

AS mentioned, you need 10.6.8 & the App Store first, it's not available any other way, & 10.7 instead of 10.8 requires a call to Apple...
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

HT2261 how can i download mac osx 10.5

hi i want to download mac osx 10.5 how can i do

Note, MacBook Pros newer than October 26, 2007 may need to watch out which 10.5 installer disk they get.
Apple released 10.5.1, 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 as retail releases. Given the fact that Apple has 10.6 available and it is compatible with more applications than 10.5, and has more current security updates available, I would say that for MacBook Pros it is far better to purchase 10.6, and bring it up to 10.6.8, than buy any version of 10.5. Only a few applications can run on 10.5 only. Everything you needed to know about 10.6 is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
If you don't rely that heavily on old software you may want to jump straight to 10.7 or later after that:

Cannot Install Mac OSX on this Computer!! HELPPPP!

Well here is the situation. I have a PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio). i had it upgraded a year ago to a 1.53Ghz G4 Processor, 1.5 GB Ram, I have a 160GB HD, and a 40GB HD. All the firmware is up to date. i went to Install leopard and the OS didn't recognise my system configuration. i called Apple and well all i got was " That I basically made a custom PC and Leopard will not recognise the Hardware and configuration. "Cannot Install Mac OSX on this Computer" was the message I got
So I had to revert Back to Jaguar and I'm hating it. Any help on this one, or should I cut my loses and sell Leopard?

am currious too as i have a g4 dual processor 800 and am wondering if it will install on it. the dp has plenty of hp to run it. if yours is showing as a 1.5 in profiler should install. but one glitch could be many sonnet upgrades do a trade off and a faster processor but they down clock the fsb speed to get it. check and see if fsb is at least 133. i do pc service for a living and love mac for my own use but apple is a bit arrogant on it's software as to install specs and not offering a uninstaller option. on that windows is a lot more friendly and flexable.

What should I do if I cannot download/update apps?

I have already turned off phone, and checked for updates.
It is also concerning that my Mental Case application won't sync from my computer to my phone.
Thanks for your help.

Cannot Install Mac OSX upgrade from 10.5.1 to 10.5.5

Initially tried Software Update but this failed to complete. Stalled on "Configuring Installation".
Used Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Tried to manually update to 10.5.5 with downloaded file but this also failed, message:
"You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
Should I reinstall 10.5.1?

Did you try to install the complete combo update (601 MB) or the smaller one (310 MB)?
You need the larger one. The smaller one is only for updating from 10.5.4
