I cannot find OS X Lion in the App store.

I can't get Mountain Lion because of the age of my MAC.  Where do I go to purchase Lion these days?

Check that the computer has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU, and then phone the online Apple Store.

  • I bought osx lion for download but I cannot find where it is on the app store.  i currently have 10.5.8 so I dont know if that has something to do with it.

    You cannot use Lion until you have upgraded to 10.6.8:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    You received a coupon you can use and redeem on the App Store to download Lion. There is no App Store in Leopard.

  • Cannot buy osx mountain lion as the app store rejects my password

    Help how can i get the osx mountain lion?

    Also keep in mind, that with the recent (or maybe not so recent) password update, the Apple ID password must include:
    At least 1 letter
    At least 1 capital letter
    Must not contain multiple identical consecutive characters (eg: ffffff)
    Must nor be the same as the account name
    Be at least 8 characters total
    and must not be a common password (im not going to lie, i have no idea what that means)
    So if this helps narrow your search down, I'm glad!
    Good luck!

    Hi Tahan007,
    Check these threads out:
    Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Cannot connect to App Store since 10.8.1
    why is my app store sign in saying connection failed?
    Also if you're running any anti-virus SW, you might try temporarily disabling it

  • HT1338 How can I upgrade to Lion?  My iMac cannot support Mountain Lion but I do not see Lion in the app store anymore.

    I want to upgrade my 2006imac with 3GB ram but mountain lion requires 4gb. Can I purchase mountain lion in the app store and it will install lion or will it just charge me $20 for an OS I can't use?

    A 2006 iMac cannot run Mountain Lion at all. Mountain Lion only requires 2 GB of RAM, but your model has a video controller which doesn't support features required by Mountain Lion, so Mountain Lion does not support your model. The earliest iMac which can run Lion is the mid 2007 model (aluminium body). A full list of supported models is available here.
    If you attempt to buy Mountain Lion in the App Store using your 2006 iMac, the sale will not proceed and you will get an error message saying you cannot purchase Mountain Lion because it is not compatible with your computer. You will not be charged.
    If you are currently running Snow Leopard and want to upgrade to Lion, but didn't already purchase Lion (e.g. for use on another computer), it is apparently possible to place a special order for Lion via a telephone call to Apple Customer Support. (I say "apparently" because there have been reports that Apple told some people this was the correct solution, but early attempts to place an order were refused with Apple Support claiming they weren't selling Lion at all. I think this was a temporary situation and it should be resolved by now.) There are links to support telephone numbers here.
    Apple will charge you the standard retail price for Lion (e.g. US$29.99 in the US) and supply you with a "redeem code" for the App Store. That is entered by going to the Featured category in the toolbar, and clicking Redeem under the Quick Links heading on the right side. Once your code is redeemed, Lion will be added to the list of purchases for your Apple ID, and you can download and install it.
    If you had already bought Lion for use on another computer, you can re-download it from the Purchases list in App Store, but there might be a couple of catches:
    1. Some people have found that Lion was added to their list of hidden purchases. You need to unhide it first. Do this by going to your Account page (under Quick Links, or "View My Account" under the Store menu in the menu bar). If you have hidden purchases, there will be a "View Hidden Purchases" link, and from there you can unhide Lion.
    2. If you are running Lion and want to redownload the installer on that computer, you may need to hold down the Option key when clicking on the Purchases heading in the toolbar, to enable the download button for Lion.

HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly

    This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
    First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
    Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.

  • Redownloading OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store

    Hi,
    i need to re-download OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store, but cannot find the download. Trying to use my redeem code from the OS X Developer Programms tells me that the software is not available.
    How can i redownload the DMG to install Mountain Lion again ?
    Cheers,
    Oliver

    The redemption code can only be used once. If you downloaded Mountain Lion already, then in App Store sign in with the proper Apple ID. Click on the Purchases icon. Search the list for your download. If you don't see it then it may be hidden: Mac App Store- Hiding and unhiding purchases.
    If you are trying to download beta software, then:
    Please don't post here about beta software. There are confidential forums set aside for developers to use. Developer Forums. If you are a paid developer or seed tester then it's a violation of your NDA to post in these forums. If you aren't a developer or seed tester then you have an illegal copy.

  • I downloaded OSX Mountain Lion via the App Store but I can't download to my other mac

    I downloaded Mac OSX Mountain Lion via the App Store.  My understanding is that you can download it on up to 3 machines?
    I have downloaded it to one iMac and one MBP but have one more to do.  I've accessed the App Store with my admin logon on my last MBP to download it but can't seem to find it in my purchased history to do it.
    I can go into iTunes into my account and then purchase history where it's recorded, but there's nothing here about how to download it again?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Log into the Mac App Store using the EXACT same Apple ID as before when you first purchased ML, and in your Account look under "Purchases", where you can download it again.
    Hope this helps

  • If i buy lion on the app store can i do an online reboot? (comman+R)

    ad to restart my macbook but im not the first owner. got it off craigs list. guy had his username and password but was locked out the main account (admin/master) i had leopard and snow but it wasnt letting me boot from disk. idk why. so i did some research and i followed a guy to whipe the HD and internally reboot from the laptop itself with lion but he never mentioned i had to sign in. well low and behold, my apple ID i use for my phone was never used to originally purchased the laptop... SO... If i purches the osx lion on the app store using my apple ID would it work? let me know please!

    You can purchase Lion on line from the Apple online store. (Lion is no longer listed in the APP store)
    But first you have to install the original OSX, update it to 10.6.8, and then install Lion.  All OSX's before Lion come on disks and cannot be downloaded like Lion.
    Since I do not know the exact MBP you have, if it came with Leopard (10.5), you then would also have to purchase the Snow Leopard disk (10.6), install it, update to 10.6.8 and then it would be ready for Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks ( assuming it qualifies for those OSXs).
    Ciao.

    Make sure your Mac qualifies for Mountain Lion  >  Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that before downloading apps.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
    Try deleting the cache, cookies, and preference files (plist) associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    com.apple.storeagent.pllist
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, try the App Store.
