I have a MacBook Air that somebody installed Windows 7 on. I can't do a internet iOS install, I need to boot from a thumbdrive. Where can I find Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard for download?
Leopard has never been available for download.
It was only available on DVDs. Apple has since stopped producing them. So you will have to buy them from the online shopping sites now.
Leopard 10.5 is NOT available for download, and never has been downloadable.
You can contact Apple support and get the original installation disks, or you can see if you can get the installation DVD from eBay (I do not know if it is available from Apple any longer, but you could try that as well).
Any copy you do find for download would be an illegal copy and possibly pre-infected with malware.
Thanks Bob. Could you recommend a solution for my problem? I have a MacBook Air A1237 with Windows 7 on it. I would like to put iOS back on it.
Contact Apple Support and request the original installation DVDs for your Macbook Air. There is a shipping and handling charge.
Or get Snow Leopard 10.6 from the on-line Apple Store (it is still available) and install that instead of Leopard. Besides, if you wish to upgrade to anything newer than Snow Leopard, then Snow Leopard is the minimum starting point, as it was the first OS X release with the App Store application, which would be needed to download the first OS X releases that are available via download (Lion, Mountain Lion, ... El Capitan).
Thank you. That sounds do-able.
Ordered Mac OS X Snow Leopard from Apple Store. Shipped over night. Installed it on the MacBook Air. Problem solved. Thank you everyone.
Great, thanks for the report! 🙂
Where can I D/L Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard?
