Hi
I have a MacBook pro. my OX is 10.8.5 and I would like to buy a LIon, when i tried to buy it, i got a message which said i need OX 10.6.... or more..(snow leopard), I tried to downloaded but I couldn't downloaded.
Now I need to install snow leopard and then buy Lion, it is impossible to upgrade Leopard to LIon directly.
if anyone knows anything about that please let me know.
THanlks

yes I need S. LEopard first but how can I find it, I dont have any DVD or... I download snow leopard but it didnt work?????
any comments?

!0.8.5!!??

Obviously Einstein was wrong about time travel. You are probably about a year in the future, since the rest of us only have 10.7.3 if we have the latest Lion update.

I want in on that time machine!! :rolleyes: :D :D

If you have 10.6.5 go to :apple: > Software Update and update to 10.6.8, as you already have Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, but you need 10.6.6 at least to use the Mac App Store (MAS).

To find out what Mac OS X version you run, click :apple: > About This Mac:

That's the price, it's less than $50 as the prerequisite for Lion is Snow Leopard. Nobody is forcing you to update.

For the humor impaired among us, that was a minor attempt at humor...as in a little good natured teasing.

As if that was not entirely clear in the text, I added 3 smilies to ensure that I would not be misunderstood.

Apparently I failed...

Lighten up a tad, alanak.

Thanks and it is totally fine, i didn't take it serious at all. I just stocked with my computer since I dont wanna pay extra to buy sl because i want to buy Lion after that. its crazy.
I download sl but the its included .exe files, so it didn't work either :(
bythe way I made mistake again my OX is 10.5.8 :)

.exe files are Windows executables and will not work on Mac OS X, maybe you have got a Hackintosh version.
Why do you want/need Mac OS X 10.7 Lion? If so, you have to spend the money or ask somewhere else for help, as this forum does not allow helping you pirate software.

Then you need Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard first.

Just pretend Lion is $49 still cheap for an OS.

What is it in Lion that you need?
