Of course. You need to purchase Lion from the App Store, not download one of the update packages.

I downloaded OS X version 10.6.8 when I try to install I am being told I need OS X version 10.6.8 to install it.
Snow Leopard needs to be purchased in DVD form, and is not available as a download.

I recently upgraded my Snow Leopard OS X to Mtn Lion, vers. 10.8.3 and all seems well, however, I seem to be missing several (many?) apps which I had before and which I believe came with my Mac OS X desktop when I purchased it in 2012. Most importantly, I'm missing IPhoto and IMovie. The "Apps" folder is certainly much smaller now than before and I don't seem to have provision to re-install my apps - several of which are absolutely essential.
I did go to the App Store, signed in and looked at my purchases. They did NOT include IMovie and IPhoto = which are absolutely essential to my use of this Mac - and the reason I purchased it in the first place.
If you have suggestions, please and give me some ideas. I am a 73 year old Disabled Veteran and def need help!
Thanks to one and all.

<Email Edited by Host>Since your Mac came with Snow Leopard preinstalled you will need to use the disks that came with it to reinstall iPhoto and iMovie with a custom install of the Installed Bundled software. You should have a disk similar to #3 in the screenshot (lower right hand corner).
Do a custom install of the iApps you need and apply the necessary updaters from the Apple Downloads web page.

When I go to upgrade my itunes software I get a message that I do not have enough space. My hard drive has 120 gb free and the files are only 42 mb. What am I missing?
You Hard Drive might be framented or have bad sectors. Use Windows utility to deframent the drive and Scan Disk for file allocation errors or bad sectors.

My macbook air will not download itunes 11.1 because some of the files could not be saved? Need it to download ios 7
That would be my first guess. You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform. -

Trying to upgrad to Mountail Lion and got an error message : 403 Forbidden. What does this mean? What can I do? I had no problem when I upgraded to Lion.
403 Forbidden HTTP status code in response to a request from a client for a web page or resource to indicate that the server refuses to allow the requested action. In other words, the server can be reached, but the server declined to allow the requested access.

trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion, error message; " product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" ??
what to do? This is in App store. I followed the link e-mailed to me that an upgrade was available....... Puzzled.Several causes for this problem have been reported. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when it's resolved.
Step 1
Back up all data.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 2
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 3
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications. -
Trying to upgrade to mountain lion but I get a connection fail
connection fail only when I am trying to upgrade to mountain lion during the apple ID process
I had a similar problem when I migrated from a Macbook (old OS) to a Mac Air (OS 10.9). The "fix" was to ensure that my computer system date was the right one - believe it or not. The default system date was a year prior, and since I"ve updated it the correct date, no issues.

How do I upgrade to mountain lion if I'm running leopard?
How do I upgrade to mountain lion if I'm running leopard?
Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Read the Technical Specifications
For Mountain Lion. Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Once you've upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Remember to repair permissions both before and after each upgrade/update.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion. Start by buying the Snow Leopard retail disc
10.6.3, then update to 10.6.8 via the combo updater >>>
You can no longer buy Snow Leopard from Apple retail, only as follows. If you are in North America ... Buying Snow leopard from Apple. Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for a single.
In Europe or otherwise call your National Apple Helpline … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
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.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again. -
