Where can I buy an old Mac Book Pro with Leopard?

Hi, my old MBP died a couple of days ago, and I rushed to get a new one, as I needed to finish some projects. I discovered I can´t run Final Cut Studio 3 and none of my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on it. Which means I am still stuck, in Germany, unable to work, and with an OS that´s totally useless to me.
I tried to figure out the best way to get Leopard on this machine, but it seems quite a challenge, and I am just thinking to take it back to the shop. Where would I be able to get an older one, new, possibly not refurbished?

Any refurbished, early 2011 MacBook Pro, sold by Apple, can have Snow Leopard installed on it. There's a good chance these will ship with Lion preinstalled, but if you can get the model specific install & applications disks from Apple, you can install Snow Leopard on any of these computers. You can only get these disks from AppleCare. But, if you want a recent MacBook Pro, and want Snow Leopard, other than used, this is a good choice.

You can back up your MacBook Pro with Retina display while it's in sleep mode (not turned off) if you have turned on Power Nap.
Also, you can back up all the Macs you want to one Time Capsule, always that you have enough storage on it. Also, you can back up the rest of your Macs in sleep mode if they are compatible with Power Nap. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5394

You need to purchase Leopard if you don't have the DVD and reinstall OS X:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Your new MacBook Pro won't run PPC programs. For Parallels you need to update to the latest version 7.

Can i buy mac book pro with english keyboard from dubai?

i will visit dubai and i am planning to buy a mac book pro from there. İ wonder if i can buy this mac book pro with an English keyboard and all the manuals in English. Any help on this please?

Actually, you can - but it is special order only - they consider it as a customized unit....You might have to wait a week or two.....
You can check the Apple Store at the Mall of the Emirates and see if they have it in stock....
Or, you can go to Apple's website select UAE as the country and configure it with the US keyboard and wait for delivery...
Good luck..

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro. Tnx so much

Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

I can't add printers to my new mac book pro with retina display

I am trying to set up my HP wireless printer to my new mac book pro with retina display. I can't get it to work! I have down loaded the latest driver for my printer, and when I go into the printer area and try and add the printer, nothing shows up and it won't let me even add it. I can't seem to connect my mac directly to my printer either as I must need a different cord as there does not seem to be a port for the "phone like jack" that I could fall back on with my old Mac. My printer prints great so I hate to just buy a new printer, but I can't get this to work. My wireless router is located in the basement, far away from where I keep my printer so it also makes it hard to rest everything. I even bought the blue tooth adaptor for the HP printer thinking that would solve it all, and nope! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless. I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient. I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address. So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless. I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else. It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack). I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!

Upgrading from OSX 10.4.9 to OSX 10.6.8 on old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer)

Greetings
I was wondering what the steps and cautions are to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 on an old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer for shared use in household for emails, etc.) 2.33 Inel Core 2 Duo to OSX 10.6.8 or highest that I can?

You will need to get a 10.6 Snow Leopard retail disk which I don't think are still available from Apple.
Google "buy mac 10.6 snow leopard" to get an idea of current pricing. You'll need updates to10.6.8 in order to upgrade to 10.7 (the early core duo MBPros can not do this) or possibly 10.8 but check the exclusion list to be sure.
MacTracker can give you all the details. http://mactracker.ca/
