    By the keyboard command - depress the Command + Option + Esc keys. If that doesn't work, depress/hold the Power button.

     

    There is no download of Leopard 10.5. There are free updates of Leopard downloads. iOS5 is the operating sysyem for iPhones & iPads, not MacBooks or any other Mac models. Click on the Apple in the Menu bar & select about this Mac. It will show you your operating system version.
