How do I update a 2007 Mac Book Pro to snow lepeord?

I have a Mac Book pro (2007) I would like to update to Lion but it currently has leopard on it and I need to find snow leopard before I can update to Lion. Where can I update the Mac Book to snow leopard?

You call Apple and purchase a Snow Leopard installer disk. After you install Snow Leopard you update to 10.6.8 and then from the App Store you can purchase and download Lion.

  • How do you put a 2007 Mac book pro back to original condition

    Hi. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro. I decided to reinstall the operating system and it failed. It got so far into the installation that it erased my hard drive. So I tried to boot it from the disk again but it just ejects it. I tried using the "C" key and that didn't work. I also tried holding down the "Option" key and selected the Mac OS Snow Leopard Install Disk, but it still just ejects it. I even tried to reset the PRAM and SMC, but it still didn't work.  So how do I boot from the disk to reinstall the operating system on it?

    Hi J,
    Is this the original disc which came with the MBP? If not, that is likely the issue.
    If it is the original disc, is it in good condition and clean?
    If yes to both of the above questions, you may have a bad optical drive.
    Were both the MBP and the optical drive working fine before this?

    The key, during both life and death, is to recognize illusions as illusions, projections as projections, and fantasies as fantasies. In this way we become free.

  • If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.

    Uh uh, I see!
    Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
    together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
    Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
    You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
    After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS

    You will need something such as this:

    Note that this will only transmit video.  If you need sound, the audio output port will have to be tapped.

  • I have a mac book pro with snow leppard, I tried to get update to flip4mac but I get a message saying unable to contact server ? is this happening to any one else

    I have a mac book pro with snow leopard, I tried to check for updates on flip4mac but got message saying cannot contact server try again latter. This is the second day in arrow with this response. I got a I Tunes update yesterday and my flash player is up to date. is this happening to anyone else ?

    I am recieving this error as well.
    Yes, going to the website is an option for updating, but the Flip4Mac System Preference panel affords a method to check for updates without going this route.  It may be either a problem with Telestream's software, or perhaps it's a probelm with system configuration (corrupt prefs, outdated URL, etc.)  Telestream is aware of the issue, but has not as yet found the problem / solution.
