Where can i get mac os x snow leopard??

Im still running on 10.5.8..... i have a mac book pro 5.5... help

If you have Intel processor and 1 GB RAM minimum
Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, pay $19 for a single-user DVD.
Make a good backup or clone (CarbonCopyClone or SuperDuper) before upgrading as things sometimes go bad.

Where can I get Mac OS 10.5 Leopard?

I need Mac OS 10.5 to install Mac OS 10.6. on a 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo iMac, but I can't seem to find any free sources of 10.5. Do they exist?

You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store instead of trying to use the free updaters.

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.

How can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

how can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

I'm an experienced software developer (C, C++, Lisp, Linux, Unix, etc) but have never done any Mac development, and wanted to try some stuff on my iMac at home, but I have Snow Leopard and most of the turtorials I looked at said the first thing I had to do was download XCode and the first thing that happened when I tried to do that was it said I had to upgrade to Lion.
My iMac is running SnowLeopard. I don't have any big reason to stay at SnowLeopard, but from stuff I've seen in the forums I can't see any big reason to upgrade to Lion. I might eventually want to do development for IOS on an iphone or iPad, but for now I just want to do a simple tutorial app for my iMac.
I found the downloads search page, and it looks like there's two versions of Xcode 3.2.7 which has a release date of Sep 2011, and 3.2 with a release date of Jan 2012.
Which one should I download? And if I download one of these will it be a problem if I do upgrade to Lion in a few months?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Can the new Mac Mini boot Snow Leopard from an external hard drive?

I currently boot my 2009 Mac Mini from a FW800 external drive with 10.6.8. If I just plug my external drive into a new 2011 Mac Mini, will it boot into Snow Leopard if I set it as the startup disk or will I get a kernel panic?

I bought a 2011 Mac Mini, which came with Lion installed. I thought maybe I could repartition it and have a Snow Leopard partition. So I repartitioned it (500gb split into two 250gb partitions). I named the new partition "SnowLeopard" just to make it easy for me to tell the difference.
I attached the external DVD and put in a Snow Leopard installer disc, holding down the C key so it would boot and install from that, but it just spun for awhile. Doesn't appear to work.
Then I read somewhere else that someone had managed to clone a copy of Snow Leopard onto an external drive and boot from that. In their situation they were talking about a MacBook, but the principle seemed sane.
So I rebooted, holding down the T key to put the Mac Mini into Target hard disk mode, and attached it via Firewire to another MacMini (circa 2008 or so, not sure of year, but it was upgraded last year to Snow Leopard and has been upgraded along and along). Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Snow Leopard (that is, the entire hard disk-- System and all applications and data) to my newer Mac Mini's "snow leopard" partition.
For yucks, when it was done cloning, I restarted the older Mac Mini, and had it boot from the newer Mac Mini's snow leopard partition--- it worked! To make it easy to tell the difference, I changed the desktop background to something completely different. I think I tried booting from Lion but I can't remember if that worked.
Then I rebooted the newer Mac Mini, which booted up in Lion, of course. Going into System Settings, I changed the startup disk to the "snow leopard" partition, and rebooted, and it booted up in Snow Leopard.
I have yet to test the applications on the Snow Leopard partition. Another problem has arisen.
Because with both of the Mac MInis being active on the network, they both had the same computer and user name. So I renamed the newer Mac Mini to something completely different, and changed the password.
Unfortunately, now I cannot change any other setting in the System Settings that requires a password. While the newer Snow Leopard lets me log in with the new user and new password, whenever I try to click the "lock" icon to change something, I'm prompted for a username and password. Apparently this is some different username and password than either the new or old username/password.
I've tried various combinations of both: new user/old password, old user/new password, old user/old password, etc.
So if you do what I've done, be careful about changing the username and password on your cloned computer. I think it may be wiser to create a new user and then delete the old cloned users. I may just have to re-clone the old Mac Mini to the new one again.
If anyone has any ideas about this password conundrum, please pass along!

How can I install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger?

Hello. Can someone tell me how I can install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger? I have the disk, but when I open the installer, I get a message saying that Snow Leopard could not be installed on my computer and it could only be installed on a Intel-Based Mac. This is a PowerPC Mac, so that makes sense.
So, I'm trying to ask how to make my Mac an Intel-Based Mac so I could install Snow Leopard. Or if I can't do that, I need to know how to install Snow Leopard some other way. Please help.

Just an FYI, the Mac App Store was introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.6. However the rest of what you say is accurate.
10.6.8 is required if you want to upgrade certain Macs beyond 10.7.5 without having to reformat the drive you are installing the operating system on and without having to install some version of 10.7 first.
One can actually install 10.7 or later if you maintain an original copy of the full installer of the operating system in question for your personal use without having to have the prerequisite operating system installed, if the hardware supported it. But that's a discussion for another forum.
For HFTaylor,
Consider buying a used or refurbished Mac with an Intel CPU depending on your needs. Read this tip about the migration of data from PowerPC to Intel before proceeding:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
and see this tip about used and refurbished Macs*:

Erased Mac OS Lion, But how can I reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Greetings
I had erased Mac OS Lion, and I woudl like to Reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard agine from DVD installer?
I have MacBook Pro, i7
have a nice day
Suleyman

Infact, I didn't deleted any partition, I created a new partition, in windows, using Computer Manager, then I formated this new partition, after that, it seems that windows changed the other partitions !!
I boot my MacBookPro using a snow leopard Mac DVD, and click on Disk Utility.
There is 3 partitions:
Disk0S1 440 GB
Disk0S2 60GB
Disk0S3 2MB !!
partition type for three of them is Wondows_LDM, not Mounted, and no more info about other parameteres.
When I click on repair disk, or verify disk, it says: "reparing volume failed: Unrecognized file system"
Note: when I purchased my macbook pro A1278, The Original osx was Lion.

Where do I get Java Runtime for Snow Leopard

Hi,
I'm doing some design work for a programmer. and last month he told me that mine was probably outdated, and that I needed the latest JRE (version 7u5) to run his .jar app. I don't really want to use a PC for that...so I'm trying to get this running on my Mac.
I went to oracle's website and the latest update is for Lion, I don't know where to find the latest one compatible with now leopard. Does anyone where this is?
And another question, does anyone if that installing JRE if this could compromise the security of the Snow Leopard?

Why not? It's a simple thing to dual-boot and you get to run the appropriate Java JRE on your Mac. The only expense is the $20 Lion costs and the time to DL if from the MAS. Do note that you have to get a redemption code via e-mail from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. That allows you to run both OSs, get the job done, and, when finished, you can always erase the Lion volume, leaving you exactly where you are now. BTW, if you do DL Lion, quit the installer and save a copy of that Install Mac OS X Lion.app so you don't have waste resources DLing it again, either to reinstall it or recover it. The ill-designed installer deletes itself during the installation process.

How can i install mac os x snow leopard on a macbook pro new hard drive

I replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro and I'm having difficulty installing Mac Snow leopard on the new hard drive.

Getting Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Hi,
I would like to buy the new Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, but, to my great surprise, I have found that the price for the "Single User" version is £ 30.18 (GBP) on the Apple Store UK website, while the price on Apple Store US is only $ 29.00 (USD).
Can anyone please explain this price difference? Isn't the version of Snow Leopard sold by Apple Store UK the same version as the version of Snow Leopard sold by Apple Store US?
Also, isn't Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard available as a digital download, so that buyers can simply download the software, instead of having to wait for it to be shipped by post or having to go to a store? (As a side note, I guess that, in this day and age, that option would be more environmentally friendly as well.)
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can anyone please explain this price difference?
Read the Terms of use: Discussion of Apple Policy is prohibited.
Somewhere along the way, I would not be surprised if you could define pricing as a kind of policy. If you don't like the pricing, you don't have to buy it.
There are things in England that are hundreds of times cheaper than the price difference on the operating system, such as healthcare. So I really wouldn't moan about it.
Also, isn't Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard available as a digital download, so that buyers can simply download the software, instead of having to wait for it to be shipped by post or having to go to a store?
No.

How can i install mac os x snow leopard on Lion?

You cannot. Either you erase the drive on which you installed Lion then reinstall Snow Leopard or you create another partition on the drive and install Snow Leopard on that partition so you can dual boot.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
