Where can I obtain a genuine Mac OS X 10.5.8 Installation Disc?

Hi everyone,
I bought a 2nd hand Apple MacBook about 18 months ago (via eBay).  It is my first Mac.  It did not come with its original OS X 10.5.8 Installation Disc/s and I now have one or more problems with my Hard Drive, so I need the Installation Disc/s.  Can someone please advise me where I can buy the correct (genuine) version of Installation Disc/s for my MacBook, please?
Many thanks in advance...
Kind regards,Nigel.

You can call Apple Customer service with the serial # of the MacBook and have new disks sent to you.....
....1-800-676-2775
....I am not sure how much$$

  • Where can I obtain the AHT on disk for my Mac Pro 4.1?

    Where can I obtain a disk (iso) of the AHT for my Mac Pro 4.1 (latest OS X Yosemite) that I am busy upgrading?

    If you can fiddle with file permissions without going nuts, the original gray discs or the downloads mentioned (once the .dmg is mounted) provide a roughly 60 to 100 MByte .diagnostics [invisible] directory at:
    /Volumes/disc_name/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics
    You can see this folder (on the DVD or in the download) with the Finder by looking in CoreServices, using the Find command and specifying name .diagnostics and Visibility [invisible].
    Open a second Finder window and navigate to the comparable place in the current Directory structure:
    /System/Library/CoreServices
    drag and drop the .diagnostics directory from the DVD or the download in one window to the current Core Services folder in the other window. Observe carefully to see that it actually does the copy, as Find-ing it in the current directory structure is quirky.
    You may have to authenticate as Admin, or you may already have access --
    -- otherwise you can change the permissions of the current CoreServices folder to allow you to Read & Write
    -- don't forget to change permissions back if you modified them.
    NOW try Restart and hold the D key.

  • How or where can I obtain, purchase or download Internet Explorer for Mac?

    I need to run a program on Internet Explorer. Where can I obtain, purchase or download IE for my Mac desktop computer?

    Running IE in a virtual environment would be an option.
    Software like VMware Fusion or Parallels do the trick.
    But you would need a valid Windows license or just run a limited demo for a couple of days.
    Goodluck

  • Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?

    Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Yeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
    It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

    It should be in /System/Library/Frameworks/
    10.6 update 3 deprecated that path, and since that Java update (if you've installed it) it would be
    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

  • Where can I buy a genuine Apple replacement battery A1280

    As above, where can I buy a genuine A1280 replacement battery for my Macbook Aluminium Unibody late 2008 5.1 notebook? Is it worth buying from a Battery UK company off the internet, or Amazon or eBay? (Have read various negative comments about using a non-Apple replacement).
    If not where can I find a suitable one? I am in the UK.  Thanks Anne

    Hi,
    Go to this page

    Find the battery you want and the address of your nearest Apple Dealer or buy online.

  • Where can I obtain bootcamp assistant 4.0.1 software

    Where can I obtain bootcamp assistant 4.0.1 software?

    If you had 4.0.1 on your OSX installation at some point and have a Time Machine backup, it can be restored. Bootcamp Assistant (not the Support software) is built-in into OSX as Rudegar says. The only other method is to re-install the OS it came with on an external drive and boot from it. It is an Apple code signed application, so please be careful when copying/trashing the Assistant itself.

  • Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

    Hello,
    Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
    To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
    There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
    Best of luck.

  • Where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell me where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?
    I looked in the Apple page but without any success... And other websites only have Tiger or Leopard version.
    Thank you in advance,
    Sandra Costa

    Welcome Costrasandra!
    Scroll to the very top of this page. See where it says 'Downloads' Click it. It will take you to Apples download page and right there on front is the download and info on Safari's latest version 3.1.2.
    actually... here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    But I don't understand what you mean, MacOSX 10.4.11 IS Tiger.

    Where can I download iBooks for Mac？ I did not find it in APP store. Thanks

    Do you have a backup. If so you should be able to restore it from that. Otherwise you can reinstall OS X. See Carolyn's post in I accidentally deleted iBooks on my Macbook Pro (late 2011) running on OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite. Will iBooks be reinstalled if I install the next OS X major update once it is out?
