You can download the new Safari 6 if you want to, but I recommend sticking with version 5 (linked above) unless you upgrade your Mac to Mountain Lion.

No problem. Thanks for the points!

Feel free to ask more questions about Safari or Mountain Lion.

Uninstall Chrome and any Google software, then search online for the rootkit autoupdater and how to uninstall that.

I agree with you, 10.6 is so much better and faster, runs your older PPC based software.

Nearly 50% of OS X users are still on 10.6 🙂

Apple is still issuing security updates for 10.6, however Safari 6 (with numerous patches) is only for later OS versions.

So you should be using Firefox as it's at 17.0 now and receives attention and updates, unlike Safari 5.04 which isn't.

You might want to be considering making bootable clones of 10.6 and also installing Deep Freeze, just in case Apple cuts off security updates for 10.6 you can keep your machine secure.

Blazing fast. Incredibly private.

Safari is the best way to experience the internet on all your Apple devices. It brings robust customization options, powerful privacy protections, and optimizes battery life — so you can browse how you like, when you like. And when it comes to speed, it’s the world’s fastest browser. 1

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent cross‑site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

Customization

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customizable than ever. Organize your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favorite features — like Reading List, Favorites, iCloud Tabs, and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad, and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favorites, cookies, and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

Web apps let you save your favorite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favorite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them, and switch among them across devices. You can also share Tab Groups — making planning your next family trip or group project easier and more collaborative.

Smart Tools

Designed to help your work flow..

Built-in tools create a browsing experience that’s far more immersive, intuitive, and immediate. Get detailed information about a subject in a photo with just a click, select text within any image, instantly translate an entire web page, and quickly take notes wherever you are on a site — without having to switch apps.

Notes is your go-to app to capture any thought. And with the Quick Note feature, you can instantly jot down ideas as you browse websites without having to leave Safari.

Translation

Translate entire web pages with a single click. You can also get translations for text in images and paused video without leaving Safari.

Interact with text in any image or paused video on the web using functions like copy and paste, translate, and lookup. 6

Visual Look Up

Quickly learn more about landmarks, works of art, breeds of dogs, and more with only a photo or an image you find online. And easily lift the subject of an image from Safari, remove its background, and paste it into Messages, Notes, or other apps.

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

Learn more about passkeys

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS, or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video, or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work, or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passkeys, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimizations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.

Make Safari your default browser

Customize your start page, view your browsing privacy report, monitor your saved passwords, use apple pay in safari, view your tabs across all your devices, read the safari user guide, get safari support.

Reinstall Safari after applying 10.6.8 v1.1 updaters

If you updated Safari to version 5.1 and then applied the OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 update, you will need to redownload the latest version of Safari again.

When Apple released OS X 10.6.8, a number of people found problems including issues with the printing system that resulted in print jobs hanging. To correct some of these issues, Apple rereleased the update as version 1.1 of the updater; however, if you have applied this update, you may (or may not) notice that your Safari version has reverted.

Apple released the original OS X 10.6.8 update before it released the latest Safari 5.1 update, and then released the revised 10.6.8 updater about 5 days after Safari 5.1 had been out. As a result, the Safari 5.1 update was not included in the 10.6.8 update and people who had been running OS X 10.6.8 and updated to the latest version of Safari will find their installed Safari versions will be back at version 5.0.5 instead of 5.1.

Ultimately this should not be much of a problem for users, as the versions are very close and should still support most of the same features; however, there is a possibility that the older version of Safari may handle a few things differently. OS X should detect the older version of Safari and offer you an update through Software Update, but if not, then you can download the latest version of Safari from Apple's software downloads page .

I have MacBookAir 13 (bot in late 2010) running Mac)S 10.6.8. I mistakenly installed Safari 6.0 and now I can NOT use it or even open it!!! How do I get rid of this newer version of Safari and get the correct one installed?? Thankx for your quick reply or at least directions to WHERE I can find the answer!!! jimbriz  

Lifeisabeach

Delete the copy of Safari that you do have, then download and run the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Hopefully that will give you Safari back. Then run Software Update from the Apple menu and check for the latest version of Safari that way. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Hello, I need specifically one of the 2 versions above for an early 2011 Macbook Pro 17inch without DVD drive. I try to make an install USB key but I am unable to find a full installer of any of these 2 versions. I have an 10.6 USB installer key but it won't work as it is an early version of the OS. The MBP requires 10.6.7 and up. I need the Snow Leopard 10.6.8 for a game that runs up to that OS. Thank you for any help. I appreciate it.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, need to download mac os x snow leopard or leopard adc has it.

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.

Downloading these prior releases of Mac OS X requires an appropriate Apple Developer login that you’d get with joining the Mac Developer program, and are otherwise inaccessible from free developer accounts or the general public. System requirements for legacy versions of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard are quite basic, and the releases run fine in virtual machines as well. We’ll touch on install methods with links to appropriate tutorials in a moment.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) Direct Download Links

The following two disk images are the complete installer DVD in DMG format. The downloads come directly from Apple, and require an ADC login to access.

• Download Mac OS X 10.6 10a432 DVD image (direct link from Apple)
• Download Mac OS X 10.5 9a581 DVD image (direct link from Apple)

Once you get the dmg files you can either burn them to a DVD to make an installer disc, create a Snow Leopard bootable install drive from them, or run Snow Leopard within a virtual machine like VirtualBox or VMWare. The virtual machine approach continues to work with all modern versions of OS X, letting Snow Leopard run atop Mavericks and Yosemite.

For running on native hardware, the system requirements for Mac OS X Snow Leopard are quite basic, including an Intel processor, 1GB of RAM, and 5GB of disk space.

It’s very important to note that new Macs can not run Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Only older hardware can run older versions of Mac OS X in general, attempting to install Snow Leopard on something like a new Retina MacBook Pro will fail and is not worth attempting.

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.

I don’t have an ADC Login but still want Mac OS X Snow Leopard, what should I do?

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.

Thanks to @stroughtonsmith for pointing out the legacy software ADC links on Twitter.

I have a Mac Pro intel based system

Doesn’t work. even with ADC login.

i need an img or dog of snow leopard plz and ty…

Is the snow leopard dwnld still available? Thank you D

Is it still possible to get dmg image from you?

I still have the Disc for snow leopard, who wants a dmg image?

That would be extremely helpful!

I would love a copy if you would be so kind!

That would be awesome! Does it work on the PowerBook G4?

Yes please!!

Do you still have a dmg of OS X Leopard or snow Leopard that you can make available?

Yes please!

Can any get me the 10.6???!!

Fortunately, Leopard and Snow Leopard are back in the Apple Stores (by order); and DMGs of install disks may be had at archive.org!

I still have my original copy of macOS Snow Leopard ;) i always held on to it because its valuable and quite handy when dealing with old macbooks

glad I found this, And yes it still works, downloading Snow Leopoard now

Exactly what were the steps you used? Did you use the pdf thingy? If so, how? I can’t seem to get it to work.

Can you send a copy of the DMG to me? I don’t have a developer account, and I can’t afford it.

I’d like to know how to contact June beetle for the leopard OS in case you have any link for the download.

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

Snow Leopard is 10.6, you can’t upgrade from 10.8 to 10.6 that would be a downgrade. This is downloading Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Hello, please my iBook g4 hard disk crashed and I replaced it, now I need to install Mac os x 10.5.0, can anyone help me on how I can download the full install dvd because I an not ADC

I’m upgrading an iMac8,1 to a current MacOS (hopefully Sierra, but may not come closer than Yosemite) and I require 10.6 before I can continue the upgrade.

Paying for the 10.6 DMG doesn’t make sense for me, since I will run it exactly once.

This policy appears to cut off an entire class of Macs. I know my iMac is quite dated, but it’s the best display in the house, and it’s used simply as an iTunes server and for “guest” web access.

A year or so ago, I found the 10.6 server link and downloaded it, all without an actual paid developer membership. Now it just takes me to the unauthorized page.

Turns out that this was actually a different build, the file downloaded as “snowleopard_10a403_serverdvd.dmg”. I still have it if anybody is interested, seeing as it was a free download I don’t think this is an issue. I had to log in, but I was not paying for a developer membership. You can contact me through my website.

can u send me the file that worked for u please I have been trying and I get to pick that drive and it starts and goes to question mark in a box grrrrr so frustrating

Do you still have a copy of this server image?

Hi all — I still get emails about this occasionally, but it’s actually a beta version of 10.6.0 Server, which isn’t what most people want.

So I thought I’d point you to a better source: “dosdude1 dot com slash os”. It’s got everything from Snow Leopard to Sierra, and he’s a well respected developer so you can trust that they’re safe.

Feel free to still email me if you actually want the beta.

Still works in 2016. Thank you so much, saved me almost $500 for Leopard server!

Hey John Smith,

I’m looking for a Snowleopard iso to enable an old filemaker server P-to-V.

Can you help?

If you are still looking for a copy:

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

If your Mac is a PowerPC machine it is at the end of it’s road.

I’ve received quite a few emails over the last couple years. Updating this message to add a few things — It’s not a release version. It’s an early beta of 10.6.1. It’s not something you want for daily use. It’s probably more interesting to collectors than your average user.

I don’t think they even meant to let you download it from the public page. It’s the only full macOS installer you could ever get from there.

If you’re still interested, I’ve got it (and some other Apple related files) at junebeetle [dot] github [dot] io [slash] links.

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?

I’m after the intel 10.5 rather then the PPC version, PPC version I have.

I don’t suppose anyone knows where to find this after the new changes to the developer program?

Download Mac OS X 10.5 9a581 DVD image (direct link from Apple) not working any more…. Need 10.5.8 in order to run a software i a PowerPC. Any hints? thanks

Half a decade, oh, my God! Wait, that’s 2010. Never mind.

just a few comments: 10.5 is still partly supported from senior advisors at applecare 10.6 isnt unsupported – its fully supported

versions 10.7.x and 10.8.x arent free of charge

10.6 is not supported at all and cannot be found on the dev web site. Pretty sure I stopped paying for upgrades after snow leopard.

btw those DVD image files are from the original 10.5.0 / 10.6.0 and not from the last retail 10.5.6 (9G66) / 10.6.3 (10D575) install DVDs.

so, yeah it need the combo updates (10.5.8 / 10.6.8)

I have a newer current Mac but on my old Mac I installed Linux Mint and it runs great. There is still life for your old Macs yet.

Still on 10.6.8 and all is well. Couldn’t get Yosemite Sam to install. Kept getting error msgs. Gave up. I have too many convenient apps that I like to upgrade and there is nothing I need in the newer OSs.

This links are not working for me and yes I do have a ADC account.

Just log in to your developer account. I think you select “Mac”, then scroll down and select “View All Downloads”. Then just type “Leopard” in the search field. It’s probably on the last page of downloads due to its age.

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?)

That would depend on if you have a PowerPC or Intel, I guess.

10.6 was the last version that ran both PPC and Intel. Hoqubble has a point :)

No. 10.5 (Leopard) was the release you mean.

Wrong 10.5.8 was the last OS X Version PPC

10.6.8 is for Intel Macs

As a developer, I run Snow Leopard on one partition and Yosemite on another. I only use Yosemite for development and testing. Snow Leopard is my daily OS.

The problem w older systems is a computer will not install system software older than it was produced. One must use Virtual Ware on a new machine or use an old machine.

I have an expensive program that won’t run past Snow Leopard. Is it true 10.6 is no longer supported by Apple?

No more updates for Snow Leopard beyond 10.6.8. Just install Firefox and Thunderbird for you browser and email clients. Plus don’t install apps unless you know it’s from a reliable source. You’ll be fine. ;)

Thank you sir. I just told a woman the same thing today. Glad it was validated by seeing your comment. Though somebody down below in the comments is saying it’s still fully supported, I think they mean by Applecare. Gmail and Youtube are telling people their Snow Leopard version of Safari is outdated. I also think people are screwing up their Safari by downloading the Safari update through the quick links the Youtube page provides to update your browser.

Still better builds than OS X Yosemite.

it IS!! i’ve used leopard, mav, el cap and sierra, and leopard is, BY FAR, the best os i’ve ever used. period.

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 Combo is just a update for the 10.5.0 -> 10.5.7 and is not the full dvd installer.

the same for the 10.6.8 Combo.

you can’t boot/install from the combo updates ;)

If you install from a disc made from 10.5.0, and then boot and first thing you want to do is run Software Update, it will offer the 10.5.8 combo update but it can’t be installed. You have to download and install first the 10.5.6 combo update and then you can do the 10.5.8 combo update. I found this out recently reviving a PowerBook G4 with a replacement hard drive. Leopard retail DVD I have. Neither Software Update nor my 10.5.8 combo.dmg worked, so following a tip, i found the 10.5.6 combo update .dmg online and that worked to get me over the hump and then I could use the 10.5.8 combo and Software Update took care of the rest.

Ah the perks of being a developer. iOS and OS X betas, and DVD image downloads of ancient crusty Mac OS! Snow Leopard was such a great release and so stable.

I ran Mac OS X Snow Leopard in a virtual machine for a while so that I could play Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne (such a great game!) but it never really worked well. This makes me want to try it again on a much newer Mac, perhaps it would play well on new hardware, anyone try this?

Apple appears to have pulled this—I have memberships in both Mac and iOS developer programs and these are not available to me. Which is really too bad because I do need 10.6 for compatibility testing.

go to this site https://developer.apple.com/membercenter/index.action#agreements

it will take you to a pdf, you don’t have to read it. Just go to the site then try downloading.

Hello, I can confirm this works. I was just able to start downloading 10.6 by navigating as suggested above. Note: Do not just reload the “unauthorized” page, fire off the download link in the article above again. HTH, David

where can i find that pdf ? guide me please i need leopard 10.5 .

Trying to find a 10.5.x install disk to update an old 20″ PPC iMAC recently given to me. It’s currently running 10.4.11. Hoping this link would work, alas I’m not ADC. No joy at Apple store nor 800-Apple.

I also need this same thing. Any luck on this yet?
