You must upgrade to Snow Leopard, then Lion. There is no direct upgrade from Leopard to Lion.

Maybe they've pulled Lion temporarily in order to clear server bandwidth for the expected feeding frenzy over ML?
There's always that possibility but I suspect that any Lion purchases today will be just a drop in the bucket. Still, there really ought to be some provision for those whose Macs can't go beyond Lion to upgrade since continued Snow Leopard support is now in question (the reason I finally moved to Lion).
There are a lot of people complaining that their free upgrade redeem codes for ML aren't working so I bet keeping Lion available is way down on Apple's to-do list. -
My Mac is a OSX 10.5.8 and i want to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2 Do I have to also get Snow Leopard? Can the be purchased together?
Yes you have to purchase Snow Leopard first. Once you have it installed then update it to 10.6.8 using the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Once you have updated and thorougly tested your system then purchase the Lion upgrade from the Mac App Store and follow the on-screen prompts.
At the very minimum make sure your computer meets the System Requirements for Lion and make sure you have all your applications up-to-date. As you may (or may not) know PPC based apps will NOT run under Lion so please check your apps to see that they will run under Lion. Please look at the article link below for instructions on how to tell if they will or not.

I want to upgrade to Lion but hav ebeentold I can't because I have a G5 non intel based system. If this is true can I change the motherboard and install Lion
If you are running Snow Leopard OS 10.6 you do not have a PPC Mac as they cannot run it, so you already have an Intel Mac. The question is, which one?
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, runing the latest version of Snow Leopard. The Lion upgrade can be installed on all your authorized personal Macs.
But in any case you cannot replace the motherboard with a different one in any Mac. -
I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade. I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5. On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

TS4058 Why has iChat been taken from me? I don't want to upgrade to Lion!
Why has iChat been taken from me? I don't want to upgrade to Lion!
Hi,
iChat 5.x.x works in Snow Leopard.
(Older versions also work in earlier OS versions)
iChat 4 and iChat 5 had a method of getting to a registration page for @mac.com names.
The iChat version no longer does this (but the registration page still exists)
In addition to this if you selected AIM then the option does not work now as AIM moved their Registration pages soon after Snow Leopard came out.
@mac.com registration page
Keep the password to 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)
You cannot use an email that has already been used with or is an Apple ID.
AIM registration Page
You cannot exceed the 16 character limit here
You need an email for Confirmation and for Password recovery (You can use it again and again if you want to set up loads of names)
You can chose a Name or use an existing email.
iChat can also use Jabber IDs
Google Mail IDs can have Talk enabled in their Google Account settings and then it can be used in iChat
Facebook have a Chat option that needs enabling.
Both use Jabber servers and your ID with them is a Valid Jabber name.
There are lots of other Public Jabber servers.

Taken from Apple Website....
OS X Lion system requirements
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
In other words, FIRST UPDATE your system to 10.6.8.... 10.6.8 will install the MAC APP STORE on your computer.. SECOND.... Buy Lion from MAC APP STORE (you may need to create an Apple Login and Password). THIRD... Launch the LION installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Made sure to install ONLY THE COMPONENTS, don't ERASE your system before install. This way you don't lose your data (pictures, music, documents, etc.) -
I want to upgrade to lion server but I need to install version 10.7 first?. Were do I find 10.7?
I have a mac mini server currently with OSx 10.6.8. I want to upgrade to lion server but am told I need to install version 10.7 first?
Went to app store, cant find version 10.7. can anyone help me locate where I download server version 10.7?The current version of Server on the MacApp Store has been updated
to 2.0 and requires Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8). You could just
upgrade to Mountain Lion. With the exception of some new features,
it is in reality an improvement to Lion. The upgrade is cheaper as well.
If your Mini Server can be updated to it, you might as well just go with
Mountain Lion.
You do realize that the OS and server are two seperate entities now? -

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...

I bought my macbook pro in march 2007. I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion. Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?
The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007. -
After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". Anytone?
This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.
