Can OSX Lion be downloaded on my MacBook?

Can OSX Lion be downloaded on my MacBook with 2Ghz Intel Core Duo running on OSX 10.6.8
Lion says Yes, but my MacBook says NO
When I try to download Lion on my MacBook, the AppStore says that a Intel Core Duo is needed.
My McBook has an Intel Core Duo. So, what can be the problem?
Why doesn't it work?

It requires at least a core 2 duo. not core duo

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.

OSX Lion re-download

OSX Lion will be available only in the mac App Store and it can be redownloaded to multiple macs.
I know that this is possible with songs but if for example, I bought lion and want to share it with another person. Can I just log in to mac app store in their mac and re-download OSX Lion from there? and once Lion is fully downloaded in their mac, can I log out from the mac app store without losing the download?
This is just out of curiosity, I know that some people are trying to get their friends to sync their songs in their ipod, but will this work with apps in mac?

Did both of you read the part "this is just out of curiosity," I am totally against this also. It is only a reference for anyone who tries to google this question.
The price of $29.99 is a deal, given that for it's price you can buy 4 windows 7 home premium softwares. I hope by it's launch apple will patch up some bugs to prevent people to share macapps, because it is unfair for us who pay for the apps.

Is your OS X Mountain Lion not downloading?

OS X Mountain Lion is not downloading. It keeps saying that there is an error or that it will take up to 195 days to download then just says calculating. It has not moved at all in hours. My internet is fine. Maybe the servers are busy?

Click the apple logo and select About This Mac to see if it's on the list.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
The following Macs with 10.6.8 or later, 2GB of RAM, and 8 GB of hard space (presumably an additional 15% of free hard disk space will be beneficial as has always arbitrarily been found in the past) will be able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8 when it is released in July 2012:
iMac 7,1 and later
MacBook 5,1 and later
MacBook Pro 3,1 and later
MacBook Air 2,1 and later
Mac Mini 3,1 and later.

Check in the Purchased tab of App Store. Does it say it is downloading, or is it paused?
How fast is your internet download speed? Cable? DSL? LAN?

Have you tried option clicking the Purchases in the App store?

Osx mountain lion not downloading

My download of osx mountain lion gets to 142mb then stops! I've tried deleting the purchase and redownloading still the same thing,
does anyone have an answer for this annoying issue!

Hello, how much free space on your Hard Drive?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

Mountain Lion not downloading

Hi, I have been invoiced as having purchased OSX Mountain Lion but I keep getting an error message when trying to download it from the App Store. It basically gets to around 50MB as downloaded and then says 'The Application could not be downloaded. The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.'
My internet connection is fine and stable. I have 8GB Ram and plenty of free hard drive space. I am currently using Mac OS X 10.6.8
Does anyone know what the problem could be please?
Thanks
Matt

Fine and stable, ok. What is your download speed?

This is usually the problem.

Mountain Lion Not Downloading Past 53mb

Mountain lion won't download past 53mb before "calculating" the download time remaining. I've restarted my computer and cancelled and restarted the download. Still freezes at the same spot. Any solutions?

Then the next question is what kind of access do you have, DSL, cable, FiOS, or something else? The full ML download is almost 5 GB so young can have issues with a slow connection and a file that size...not knowing where you are, can you try an off-hours time for the US west coast?

Why isn't OS X Mountain Lion not downloading from Mac App Store?

Hi all,
I have recently downloaded the OS upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store for £13.99, and it is't downloading. Since purchasing I have received the bill from Apple outlining I have purchased the item. But nothing has happened as yet. I have looked under purchases in the Mac App Store and it just shows the progression bar...
79.3 MB of 4.37 GB - Calculating...
I have restarted my IMac many times and still nothing!!!
What can I do?? I have the icon for Mountain Lion in the dock but the only options available I can see are... Pause, or Cancel Download.
Please help!!!
I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Thanks in advance

It looks stuck, and at this point, you probably ought to cancel the download and start it over again. (No worries about paying again... once you buy something in the App Store, you own it for as long as it stays in the store and can re-download it all you like.)
Also, before you consider installing the upgrade, note that there are some things you should do:
1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
6) Install the upgrade.
Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

Just purchased Mountain Lion - not downloading

I recently purchased a Mountain Lion upgrade for my 2010 Macbook (which came bundled with Lion). I purchased the software, redeemed the code and can see the software under the MacApp "Purchased" tab. There is a "Download" button, but nothing happens when I click on it. When I click "Check for Unfinished Downloads," I get a message saying that all downloads are complete. How do I complete this download?

Is this the upgrade path where they email you a code to unlock the file?
You may have to contact Apple Store main number (web page) & ask.
Or if not available through weekends/afterhours, use Contact web page.
Not sure given the vintage of my stuff.
Good luck & happy computing!

OS X Mountain Lion Not Downloading

Trying to download OS X Mountain Lion but nothing seems to be happening - It just says that it is 'downloading' and all I can do is pause it or cancel download. I've tried both and I've checked all my software is up to date . It has been saying 'downloading' for several hours now. I've got Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. on a 13 inch Macbook Pro mid 2010.

I had the same problem. Took me three attempts to download the software. Try logging out of the App Store, close out of the App window and then re-openning the App Store and logging in again. Then click the download button again. If it did not complete the download it appears to keep track of that and not charge you again. My last attempt it looked like the download was zero % complete. When I restarted it, it appeared to recognize where it left off an after a minute or so, started where it left off.
This software is a significant size and will take a bit to download. Add this to any ongoing internet activity and the capacity of your network and it could take some time. Hope that helps.

Mountain lion not downloading --or really slow

Hi, Ordered the download last night. My Mac Pro is using Lion 10.7.4, and is fully updated ---but the mountain lion download appears to be stuck (...still downloading this morning). Please advise. Thanks.

Then the next question is what kind of access do you have, DSL, cable, FiOS, or something else? The full ML download is almost 5 GB so young can have issues with a slow connection and a file that size...not knowing where you are, can you try an off-hours time for the US west coast?

Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion not downloading Printer Drivers

I have an Epson XP-300 All in One Printer. I tried downloading the software and its drivers from the installatioin CD and Epson Website but my Mac just won't do it. When I click Download on the Epson Site safari won't open the page. It tries to but then says "Safari can't open page". I am running Mountain Lion.
Help...anyone?

Thanks for the quick reply Sig. I actually downloaded this file from the exact location you suggested last night. I then deleted the printer from "Printer and Scan" list and tried to add it again hoping it would solve the problem but now I can't even add the printer again since the Mac doesn't even recognize there is a printer in range. Still don't know what to do. Suggestions?? Thanks.
