OS X 10.5 Leopard .

Anyone have the install disc i can borrow or buy? Trying to upgrade my OS on the cheap.

Thanks Dan

I have not yet gotten over there to try it, but one of the eternally cheerful youths that works at the Apple store hinted to me that if I made an appointment at the Genius bar, they might hook me up for my old G4 PB17, since Leopard is no longer commercially available.

Huh, thats interesting. Never thought of that. I have an Emac thats at least 7 or 8 yrs old. Let me know if they hook you up. I was thinking if someone had it I could pay shipping to and from and a usage fee or just buy it outright. The cheapest I've found is $110 on ebay.

I have the OE install disc and the Snow Leopard disc kicking around someplace. I will also just note that Leopard is easily found on the torrents, or at least is was a year ago when I Hackintoshed my Dell Mini9. Come to think of it, I have leopard on a DVD someplace from that effort and could send you that...

I have a eMac. Would that disc work on my mac? I'm trying to dl a torrent right now but it's moving slow.

I found a used emac just like mine w/ Leopard 10.5 for $60! My my computer isn't worth much : (

It should - I don't think the OS disks are machine specific.

A friend at work just had this problem, as his old Macbook was running Tiger still, and his wife's new iPhone4 wanted Leopard+. He called someone at Apple, explained, and they sent him a copy of leopard for free. From there, if he wants snow leopard, it is only like $40 to upgrade.

Tim, Mac OS discs are somewhat machine specific, but mostly due to what's supported and all the changes made over the past 10 years.

You can't run 10.6 on an Emac, for example (or anything else without an Intel chip). 10.5 will install on an eMac though, and it runs nicely. Just did it on mine, actually with a borrowed 10.5 disc.

Hey Tim, Any chance i could borrow that disc? I'll pay shipping to and from .

Not mine, and I already gave ti back, unfortunately.

Gotcha. This is killing me. I've tried to download a torrent with no luck. They're at least a $100 on Ebay sometimes more

Hat jemand sagen "Leopard"?

If you call Apple and give them the serial number from your computer, they will sell you a machine-specific disk of Leopard for $16. I'm still going to try the Genius Bar next week, though.

Hey Duke, Just called Apple and they said they sell for $129. I found an eMac with Leopard and twice the processor speed for $80 locally so I'm just going to pick that up.

Does anyone know when Macs started using Intel processors?

Thanks Dan

Dan - I called and said I could not update my iPhone to the current IOS using 10.4, which is true. I said I would buy Leopard if it was available at retail, which it isn't. The guy asked for the aerial number of my computer, but not my iPhone, so you could try the same tack.
