how do i download ios x 10.6.8?

If you mean iOS 6, click here, ignoring the instructions for doing it wirelessly if the device is running an iOS version prior to 5.0.

If you mean Mac OS X 10.6.8, you need to run Software Update(if you're running 10.6 through 10.6.7) or buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD(if you're running 10.5.8 or earlier.)

You mean Mac OS X 10.6.8, or iOS?

Assuming you mean Mac OS X:

If you don't already have a version of 10.6, you will need to buy it: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. This page has the requirements to run Snow Leopard as well as the link to buy it.

If you already have 10.6.x, go to the Apple menu in the upper left and click Software Update.

It's iOS 6. iOS software is for all "iDevices" like the iPad.

OS X 10.6.8 is an version of OS X ( called OS Ten, non- Apple users get this wrong all the time) that runs on Apple Mac computers.

That stated what model iPad do you have?
