How can I get lion on my intel mac

How do I get a copy of Lion for my intel power mac?

No PowerMac has Intel CPU on it.   If it is a G5 it is a CPU made by IBM, not Intel.  If it is G4, it is made by Motorola, and G3 is made by IBM.     10.7 will not run on any PowerMac.    Neither will 10.6.  Apple's transition to Intel was even more confusing for various Intel models:
1. iMac, read the EMC# on the bottom of the foot of the iMac.  If it is it is white plastic with a right side of LCD loading optical drive, they will have an EMC# on the base which is enumerated 2104, 2105, 2110, 2114, 2118, 2111, 2133, or 2134 if they are Intel.  Otherwise they are PowerMac G5 if everything else is the same.
2. Mac Mini, will have at minimum 4 USB ports on the rear if they are Intel.  Otherwise they are PowerMac.
3. Mac Pro (Intel) has a cheesegrater case with two optical drive bays (not necessarily both being filled with a drive).  PowerMac G5s only have one bay.
4. MacBook labelled below the screen is Intel.  Powerbook and iBook are PowerMac.
5. eMac is PowerMac only.

    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?

  • How can I get LION to let me see the side of folders?

    How can I get LION to let me see the side of folders?
    and files? at the bottom of the window as in snow leopard.
    I miss this and rely on it to monitor the available space on the hard drives ect.

    Dov, that is close but not in the status bar but at the bottom of the volder window. Surely , everyone can't have forgotten snow leopard and leopard et al already, where you could could to display at the bottom of all ovened folders to see the status of the the files and hard drive. Boy I WISH I HAD A SCREEN SHOT OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. 
    Yes you can get the info from get info and in the list view. But we use to be able to have a line at the bottom that gave a running total, which to me was very useful as I throughput mondo files to discrete drives thoughout my network for sorting photos by topic to seperate drives.
    ah here we go a screen shot off my macbook running snow leopard, it is that grey  bar at the bottom which says "4 items 137,26 GB available",that I am wanting in the LION window bottom.

  • 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.

  • HT200027 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?

    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.

  • I don't have my iPhone but how can i get my contacts on my mac?

    i don't have my iPhone but how can i get my contacts on my mac?

    I suppose you have/had them on your iPhone, but do not have your iPhone with you now.
    Did you ever sync the iPhone with iTunes, did you ever backed up the iPhone to iCloud?

    how can i get my iMessage on my mac to sync with the texts i get on my iPhone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you aware it only syncs iMessages. Also once enabled only new messages will sync, try messaging the user from the Mac and see if that gets things going for you.

  • How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    There is no direct way to print the screen in OS X.
    What you can do -
    Take a screenshot of the screen. Press Command-Shift-3 and a picture of the screen's contents will be taken, then placed as a type .png image file on the Desktop. You can then open that image in Preview by double-clicking the image file, and print it from Preview.
    Other screenshot commands -
    Command-Shift-4 changes the cursor to a crosshair. Drag that to enclose just the part of the screen that you want to capture, and release. The image file created will include only the part of the screen selected.
    Command-Shift-4 followed by pressing the Spacebar will change the cursor to a glyph of a camera. Click this in a specific window, such as a doc window, pulldown or popup menu, etc., and just that window will be included in the screensot.
    Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4 will take their respective screenshots but place the result on the Clipboard rather than generating an image file on the Desktop. This image on the clipboard can then be pasted into a document of your choice.

  • How can I get Lion to work with label printer- Brother  QL 570 or Dymo 450 Turbo?

    I can't get Lion to work with label printers, either Brother QL 570 or Dymo Turbo 450. I want to uninstall Lion and use Snow Leopard unless there is a way to make Lion work with these devices. Any ideas?

    Dymo has released new drivers since Lion came out. Have you downloaded and
    installed them from the Dymo website?
    Some people have said that their Dymo label printers were set to off line by Lion, but
    worked fine after going to Print & Scan, selecting the Dymo printer, and making sure
    it was active/on-line. I had to do that with my Dymo 450 Label Writer.
    I cannot offer any tips about Brother, but you may wish to check their website
    for latest drivers.

  • How can i get lion 10.75

    How can I download lion 10.7.4.

    If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences. If you're running Mac OS X 10.6.6 to 10.6.8, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for it.

    You're going to need to go buy it from somewhere. MS may sell a digital version of MS Office that you can buy and download or you may need to find the boxed software for a Mac somewhere.
