Mac users who have older hardware laying around which are unable to run modern versions of Mac OS X may be relieved to discover that Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) are available to download directly from Apple. These versions of Mac OS X are over half a decade outdated and are now unsupported, making them appropriate for advanced users and those who require specific legacy software support within a virtual environment or on appropriately aged Mac hardware.
If you do download and install Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you can continue to obtain combo updates all the way through Mac OS X 10.6.8 through Apple Support, and they should still be available through the Software Update mechanism on the older Mac OS X release as well.

For Mac users without a membership to the Apple Developer program, paying the $99 annual fee makes to access the downloads makes little sense. Instead, you can still opt to purchase a physical installer DVD of Mac OS X Snow Leopard from Apple for a cost of around $20. Whether or not an old unsupported release of Mac OS X like Snow Leopard is worth $20 when all newer versions like OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Mavericks, and OS X Yosemite are free and downloadable directly from the Mac App Store is debatable, but the old system software could be appropriate for certain environments where the newer releases of Mac OS X are unsupported on specific Macs, or where a virtual machine of the older OS is required.
can anyone help me. i have a mac 10..8 and want to upgrade for free online. havent had any luck and some websites tell me to download utorrent etc but the computer does not let me download that as well
I have a copy of Snow Leopard server, from when you could still download it for free from ADC (I do not even pay for a membership. It is in the free downloads). If you email me through the contact link on my website (click my name) I may be able to send you a copy.
hello i have a mac IOS X 10.5.8 and want to go to snow leopard but i do not want to purchase it for 20 bucks. do you know of the best way to download it? ive tried to doenload torrent etc and it does not work with anything
I am looking for Leopard 10.5 so I can upgrade from 10.4.11 . My girlfriend has been after me to upgrade the system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. She has a PPC IMAC G5 2.1 Ghz. Anywhere I can download it?
You need to be logged into ADC and have the cookie saved in the default browser, then click the download link and it will begin to get Mac OS X Snow Leopard (or Leopard, but why get Leopard when you can get Snow Leopard?)
I downloaded and installed the 10.5.8 Leopard Combo directly from the Apple support site a few days ago and reinstalled it on a Twin 1.8Ghz G5 Mac Tower. You just have to trawl through a lot of pages to find it, but there was no need for me to be a developer to get it. :)
The 10.5.8 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard versions 10.5 to 10.5.7 and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac, as well as specific fixes for:
Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) is the sixth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.

It retailed for $129[2] for the desktop version and $499 for Server.[8] Leopard was superseded by Snow Leopard (version 10.6) in 2009.
