Can i get Lion on my mac?

Hi,
My Macbook has Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) on it. can i get Lion once its out?

Your hardware should be OK, but you're right, you're on 10.5 Leopard, you need 10.6 Snow Leopard.  It's a $29 upgrade, then another $29 to upgrade to 10.7 Lion.

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

    I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8.  How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.

  • Can't get Lion Server to work

    Hi
    As written above. I can't get Lion server to work.
    I have succesfully installed the program, and turn on some of the services. Then I have bought a domain, to connect to my server. But if I try to connect to my IP, from another computer, it doesn't connect. I have tried to "port forwarding" port 80 on my router, and given my Mac a static IP. I have checked with a "Check port opener" if the port 80 was in reach, it was.
    So my question is, what is the next I can do to make it work. First with the IP and then with my domain?

    Yes, SMTP used to work but stopped after new cert applied. IMAP works fine. Removed SSL and still doesn't work (although should it be restarted or is save for changes okay).

  • How can I get Lion re installed after crash and no recovery disk?

    I bought Lion some time ago I did not do a recovery disk and now I had a huge crash. I started over with Snow Leopard cause that's all I had. How can I get Lion re installed?

    Make sure you're up to 10.6.8 through Software Updates, and then re-download Lion from the App Store.
    Incidentally, many Macs (from 2010 models onwards) have the ability to run Internet Recovery, even if your original hard drive crashed, which will allow you to re-download and install Lion directly from the internet.
    But the best way is always to have a local backup of your system drive.

  • Frustrated with Mountain Lion. Where can I get Lion instead?

    Since I can not upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, where can I purchase/download OS X Lion instead? Can not find it anymore in App Store or Apple website. Please help.

    You can still get Lion but you have to CALL the Apple Web store, and or Phone ordering #, and they will email you a code you can use on the Mac App Store to download Lion. Cost $29.99.
    It is something like 1-800-MY-Apple.
    NOTE:
    If they sell it to you and you download it SAVE those files to another folder on your drive and use the lastest version of this program,
    Serial Serveur » Lion DiskMaker (US)
    To make yourself a Lion Install USB thumb drive so you will always have a way to reinstall Lion on all but the newest Mac computer you own (the newest Mac's have a special build of Lion that the normal Lion installer will not work on).

  • Hi, I have a MacBookPro 5,1 with a software of 10.5.8, can I get Lion software in my computer?

    Hi, I have a MacBookPro 5,1 with a software of 10.5.8 Leopard, can I get Lion software in my computer or Snow Lion? Some of my apps need them..
    Thanks (:

    Your MBP will have to meet these specifications:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
    You will have to install Snow Leopard first and update it to 10.6.8;
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You then will have to contact Apple customer relations for a redemption code for Lion.
    If your MBP meets these specifications, you can install Mt. Lion;

    Ciao.

  • Where can I get Lion?

    Now that Mountain Lion has been released, and the App Store confirms that it will not run on my Mac Pro tower, where can I get Lion?  I'm currently running Snow Leopard but would obviously like to move up to the latest available OS for my machine. Unfortunately it looks like Apple has removed any and all links to the Lion OS. Why?

    That's got to be a mistake.  GIve it a day or two and try again.

    You won't find iCloud in Snow Leopard. Upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • How can I get music from old mac to new mac?

    How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

    I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac? I have plugins that I would like to keep in their current form.

    burnttimber,
    I am afraid the only (legal) way is to buy it second hand with a licence transfer through Adobe, from someone that has not used CS5.5 for any kind of upgrading (including a discount on CC).
    Transfer an Adobe product license

  • Where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install?

    I am trying to install Maya 6 on my mac and I get the error that my computer is too new... where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install? I have an old powerPC that I could put this on instead of my newer computer. My company does not have to resources to upgrade the copy of Maya at the moment, so this is my best option.

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
    Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
    Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD. It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page

    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide

    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
