OK...
Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...
And the Download Code for Lion...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install of SL... Run Software Update and Update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8...
Next go to the Mac App Store and Purchase Lion... Using your Download Code...
BUT...
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
You will also need more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com/
Lastly... with regards to Lion...
Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

Install at least 4GB and kiss all your PowerPC based programs , drivers for third party hardware and performance goodbye!

You might want to make a 10.6 clone on a blank external drive first, make it a LOT easier to return to the fast Snow Kitty later.

Upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop.

upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop. The message show can not load parallel drivers.
Anyone can solve it?

Do you have Parallels Desktop 6? That is the version you need to have it run under Lion.

My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook. She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard. Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first? Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook. She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard. Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop? And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free? Both computers use the same apple ID.

She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

You can try converting a synchrnous soap call to asynchronous using a custom module
Here your module will send a response back to the sender system and make an asynchronous call forward

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running?

Trying to download Mountain Lion on Mac Mini currently running Lion 10.7.4. Computer is set to never sleep. When I check progress it says "waiting" under purchases on App store. What does this mean? Way too long to still be waiting. HELP

In the app store where it says waiting, do you get the option to "resume"?
