Link to download Lion

I have an older used Macbook I purchased a few months back. I can't upgrade it to Mountain Lion, but my understanding is that it will run Lion. Currently it's running Snow Leopard. But I can't find a link to download Lion--plenty of links to upgrade the software for Lion if it's already installed, but that's it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks all!

Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.

Download Mac OS X 10.9 from the Mac App Store. If it's incompatible with your computer, Mac OS X 10.8 will be as well.

A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
(If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?

I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
- how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
- Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
- would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
- is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?

What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

Problems downloading Lion 10.7.4

I'm trying to download Lion 10.7.4. I've tried 3 times. The Lion icon on my dashboard does nothing, just has a msg that says "waiting". Has anyone else had this download problem?

Final Verdict from Apple Download URL itself for 10.7.4:
4 and above: 117
3 or lower:      82
Not particularly the rosiest of endorsements.
--Only speaking for a select audience of iMac 6,1 users below--
Already have LION installed:
I'll just flat out tell you...DON'T. Run away, far away. Stay with 10.7.3 until another update.
Otherwise If you are a type person that doesn't perform a restorable mirror back up prior to updating, there is more than minor probability you may regret not doing so. See my previous Post reference links.
Running Snow Leopard:
Same as above...wait till 10.7.5 or somehow find a 10.7.3 install.
Regardless of the LION version:
I personally have installed LION. It's not a total horror show, and I reap the benefits of the new features such as iCloud and seamless transfers of iPhone's PhotoStream not in Snow Leopard. It is slower, be warned. Even with MAX ram of 3GB installed.
Final personal soap box comment:
I had ended up with two iMac's, a 6,1 and Early 2009. Had I kept the iMac6 (which I graciously gifted) I would have just upgraded the iMac9 and would have gone though the motions of reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on the iMac6,1, the performance impact bothered me that much.   ...but.... had I only one iMac and it being 2006, I would have left LION on. So the features outweighed performance impact in that one model scenario.
Steady yourself for the worst possible performance hit after upgrading to LION, and you will be delighted that not soooo bad. Expect miracles from your aging 2006, disappointment ahead.

I downloaded Lion on my MacBookPro and on my MacMini. I have Air Drop on the mini, but not on the laptop. What am I missing?

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

I hate the fact that I found this topic on Google, but after I had to log in to post this reply it took me somewhere else! Again, a site designed by people who must never use their own software. Any site that makes you log in to use a feature should not cast you adrift one you've logged in for the express purpose of using that very feature. It makes me angry before I even start! I am only here now because I have been run through the hoops trying to buy Lion and install it. When I launched the app store, it had a lion's face I had to click on to download. But there was no link to Buy or Download. Eventually after many relaunches I accidentally discovered that if i clicked on £20 it changed into a green Buy - but only if you click directly on it, it you click on the down arrow it invites you to copy a link or to share it with somebody.. Then it made me log in again (what instant amnesia this site has) and I had to re-enter all my credit card info because it would not access an Australian American Express card even though it has a UK billing address. So I went back again, and still got the Lion. I clicked Buy several times but nothing happened. Then out of the blue it changed to Install. I clicked that many many many many many many times. Nothing happened whatsoever. I am going to have to give up for now and try and get through to Apple tomorrow as they shut up shop and there is no sales or tech support. God knows how many times they have charged my credit card for all the times I clicked Buy and nothing appeared to happen, or maybe it did happen and just doesn't tell you.
So far tonight I've done nothing but start and restart AppStore, log in over and over, click the price>Buy and try to click install. and for all this effort so far I have got a big fat zero.
I would have thought by now that Apple would have had some experiene in designing and delivering software over the internet, but my experience tells me that they are complete beginners whe it comes to user-friendly ecommerce. This is some of the laziest web work I've had the misfortune to be annoyed by.
Here's what I think should happen:
Log in once and once only
Click the product you want
Click Buy (a separate button from the price tag)
Once sale approved, click Download
Progress bar appears

Link to download a purchase

i purchased a copy of OSX Mountain Lion from the App Store yesterday, and have been told it will take 1-3 business days to receive an email with a link to download. Really Apple. 1-3 business days to download software! It should be immediate just like every other software company in the world. Seems it only took a couple hours for you to process my payment. Very disappointe.

First, Apple is closed for two weeks for the long holidays. Second, on top of that it is the weekend. Third, you didn't buy this from the Mac App Store, you bought it through the Apple Store, a different division of Apple. Your purchase has to be communicated to a real employee who will hand generate the redemption code for your purchase and tuck it away in a locked pdf which they will then send to you in two different emails, one with the locked pdf and a second with the password to unlock the pdf. And they are doing it for perhaps millions of folks buying different versions of OS X in this manner. But most important, just a little while ago when you opened your account here in the Apple Support Communities you promised in return to be allowed to post here, that you would not criticize Apple, its products or its business decisions. I'm embarrassed for you that the first thing that you did was break your promise.
Why have you bought OS X Mt Lion? Do you have a minimum of OS X Snow Leopard on your Mac right now?

Downloading Lion from Appstore where to do see progress of download

Downloading Lion from the App Store. Where do I find the progress of the download. There is just a window at the bottpm of the screen the says downloading

Contact App Store support - there's a link on the right hand side of the App Store window.

Now that I downloaded Lion games on the Pogo set site won't load. I checked everything I could think of - is there something I can do about this?

Games on the pogo site wont open after I downloaded Lion. I don't have any problem with any other site I go to - just pogo and i've never had a problem before I downloaded lion, is there something I can do?

I'm having the same problem with Pogo now that I've installed Lion. I used your link,ds store, to check plug-ins and it said I needed to update my Java applet. However, the download screen says that updates for Apple are only available inside Software Updates. That's the first thing I checked when I started having problems, and I have no pending updates to install. I guess that means we're stuck until Apple releases update fixes for us in the next day or two (if they stick to their previous pattern). I also had my Mail application freeze and had to Force Quit. I must say, this is the buggiest OS upgrade I've ever installed from Apple! I'm having my family members and friends hold off on purchasing Lion until these issues are corrected. Is there a preferred way for us to contact Apple to register our issues with Lion so they can track these glitches?

Downloaded Lion - now Air does not recognise mobile internet dongle

I downloaded Lion yesterday (love it so far!) but since then my Orange internet dongle isn't recognised! Downloaded the Orange software again (and again and again) but keeps telling my to connect the dongle - which is already there. The Orange site suggests that the update might have put my dongle into a suspended state and to contact Mincrosoft (and, I suppose in this case, Apple). Can't see anything on the apple site, though. Anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it? Isn't it funny that I am using Orange with an Apple ?

OK - replying to my own question!
I've now spoken with Orange and they tell me that this is a known issue - and from other posts seems it's the same with a number of mobile broadband providers. They say they are working on it and it will be days rather than weeks to get this issue resolved. She has sent me a link to a site which talks you through a manual workaround - and again I think this is the same with other providers. I haven't tried it yet. But I suppose if this doesn;t work, then I'll have to wait for Orange to get their software together. Such a pity that they don't seem to work in advance with Apple on these things (and vice versa, of course). I could really have been left quite stuck, as I work away from home and rely on this service for home comms, films, etc.

I need help please. I cannot get into my mac after I downloaded Lion. i never used a PW before . can anyone help me please?

Hi Folks. I cannot get into my Mac book air after downloading Lion. I do not and have never needed to use a pass word. what can I do to get back in ?

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.
