If i have model A1811 should/can i download lion in order to get icloud? Are they compatible?

If i have model A1811 should/can i download lion in order to get icloud? Are they compatible?

A1811 is simply the white or black plastic case non-Unibody MacBook. Any one of 17 different models.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The model 1,1 cannot run Lion all the others can run Lion but you'll have to max out your RAM and upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard first.
You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

Where can I download Lion v10.7?

Just updated to OS X Snow Leopard and now woud like to update to Lion. Where can I download Lion 10.7?

You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Expanding on this, you get an e-mail containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac Apple Store to download Lion. Do save a copy of that installer because the, IMO, poorly designed app deletes itself as part of its installation process, necessitating wasting resources DLing it again if you need to reinstall or restore the OS.

Can I Download Lion with AT&T 4g wireless device?

Can I download Lion with an AT&T 4G wireless device?

I would have expected the question to go, "can I RE-download..." if that were the case, which is why I gave the long version.
I recently bought Mountain Lion by this method, and was surprised by how convoluted it is AND how long you may wait for the download code to be sent. Once installed, I can RE-download on a whim, as Mountain Lion does appear on my Purchases page in the MacApp Store.

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

I hate the fact that I found this topic on Google, but after I had to log in to post this reply it took me somewhere else! Again, a site designed by people who must never use their own software. Any site that makes you log in to use a feature should not cast you adrift one you've logged in for the express purpose of using that very feature. It makes me angry before I even start! I am only here now because I have been run through the hoops trying to buy Lion and install it. When I launched the app store, it had a lion's face I had to click on to download. But there was no link to Buy or Download. Eventually after many relaunches I accidentally discovered that if i clicked on £20 it changed into a green Buy - but only if you click directly on it, it you click on the down arrow it invites you to copy a link or to share it with somebody.. Then it made me log in again (what instant amnesia this site has) and I had to re-enter all my credit card info because it would not access an Australian American Express card even though it has a UK billing address. So I went back again, and still got the Lion. I clicked Buy several times but nothing happened. Then out of the blue it changed to Install. I clicked that many many many many many many times. Nothing happened whatsoever. I am going to have to give up for now and try and get through to Apple tomorrow as they shut up shop and there is no sales or tech support. God knows how many times they have charged my credit card for all the times I clicked Buy and nothing appeared to happen, or maybe it did happen and just doesn't tell you.
So far tonight I've done nothing but start and restart AppStore, log in over and over, click the price>Buy and try to click install. and for all this effort so far I have got a big fat zero.
I would have thought by now that Apple would have had some experiene in designing and delivering software over the internet, but my experience tells me that they are complete beginners whe it comes to user-friendly ecommerce. This is some of the laziest web work I've had the misfortune to be annoyed by.
Here's what I think should happen:
Log in once and once only
Click the product you want
Click Buy (a separate button from the price tag)
Once sale approved, click Download
Progress bar appears

How can i download lion from 10.6.8 because I can not find the download on the app store?

How can i download lion from 10.6.8 because I can not find the download on the app store?

The only way you could get Lion for free was if you had purchased a new Mac within a certain number of days before Lion's release. Buyers could then get a free upgrade to Lion. That offer is long gone. Otherwise, it's never been free.
Mavericks, 10.9.x is the first OS Apple has ever released for free to everyone (who's Mac can run it).

If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

Well, it hasn't worked that way for me.
I bought Lion for $29 from the App Store this morning, and DLed/installed it on my MacBook Pro with no problem. This afternoon I went to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server Mac Mini. Went to the App Store, clicked the Lion Server at $49.99, and was prompted that "because this is an OS X server, you must purchase a OS X Lion as well as OS X Lion Server, for $79.98" [Cancel] [Purchase Both]
If I try to install just Lion from my "Purchased" list in App Store, I get exactly the same message. If I try to install Lion from an install DVD, I get a "checking with App Store" and then the same message.
Spent over an hour on the phone with Enterprise Sales, who agreed that's not what was supposed to happen, but had no resolution. It isn't critical to me timewise so they are mulling the situation over.
My recommendation if you have SLS and clients to upgrade is to do the Lion/Lion Server purchase *first* for the server. Hopefully then the Lion license will be available for your other machines. I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that the other way *doesn't* work.

Can I download Lion?

I have a MacBook Pro, but my version is 10.5. I can't download Lion via my computer since I don't have the app store. Am I still able to go to the store and buy Lion and have it run on my laptop? I would really like to buy it... seems cool!

You have to have snow leopard in order to upgrade.
Buy the Snow leopard disk. Install it. Install the mac app store. Download Lion - if your Mac will support it.

I'm having the exact same problem with a dual core iMac. Absolutely driving me nuts...cleared out all my caches before starting; have restarted MANY times after every failure; plenty of RAM, plenty of GBs on HDD; all else updated and my broadband working fine.
Can anyone help on this?

Can I download lion I purchased for my mr my mac onto my ipod

can I download lion I purchased for my mac onto

You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?

Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?

You can install it on as many computers that you personally own. But if you have several then you may want to avoid having to download it multiple times:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?

I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
- how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
- Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
- would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
- is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?

What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

How many computers can you download Lion to?

I can't download Lion from App Store - says an error has occured. Have rebooted and contacted Apple support. Can anybody help?

Every time I try to download Lion, the download, the download appears to start, but then stops, saying an error has occured, with nothing downloaded, and the App icon disappears from the dock.
Has anybody else experienced similar?

same problem and precisely with the OS X lion up to date program.
I called apple but they said there's nothing they can do for now. there are many problems they are trying to resolve and one of them is the up to date program.
the only solution available they said is to wait. but they didn't specify for how long.
One would think that they'd test their solution well when they took the decision to make the OS available only though the appstore or at least offer a back up solution should people be unable to obtain it like it is the case for us.

Can't download Lion: "There was an error App Store (100)" !!

Hi All,
The App store has an error when I try to buy Lion, and prevents me from doing so!
I get two messages:
"The item is temporarily unavailable, please try again later"
followed by,
"There was an error in the App Store (100)"
I have retried several times without success.
My guess is the App Store can't cope with the download demand.
Anybody else had difficulties trying to buy/download Lion?

The support article above may be correct. I eventually (30 min) after quitting and restart the App Store and retrying to purchase Lion many times, I was able to download it. This problem has never happened before with any previous App Store purchases.
