Will Lion come on disc or Mac App Store only?

I'm basically wondering if I can skip an update by missing out snow leopard and going directly for Lion on Disc in a box (probably, prefereably family box set of Lion, iWork, iLife...)
Or is this info not finalised yet.
Anyone with anything concrete on this I'd love to know.
Thanks.

Oh, and is it even worth putting either on my 6Yr old MBP?
Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion.
Stuff back in that vintage was mostly Core Duo or earlier and isn't supported, or might be Core 2 Duo or later and is... Most of the C2D processors started showing up in Mac systems back around the end of 2006, IIRC.

When Lion officially comes out from the Mac App Store, I understand that I can just buy it from there. However, will the laptops have Lion automatically? Or does it come with Snow leopard still.

The ones sold that day will come with Snow Leopard most likely but they will be able to get a free upgrade to LIon if they apply within 30 days. Hardware coming through the supply chain from the day of the announcement will have Lion installed so it depends what stock people have to move before buyers see those.

Is Mac App Store only for USA?

I tried to sign in my ID and activate the account as per the steps set for first time user. However, when I comes to the PayPal part, it barred me from proceeding further. The error message was my PayPal was not registered in USA. Must the buyer have USA billing address? How can other countries user purchase app from your MAC App Store then?
Regards,
kim

Usually you are restricted to making purchases from the iTunes Store, and so also the Mac App Store for your country of residence. So you cannot use a bank card or a PayPal account from Malaysia in the US Mac App Store or iTunes Store. Just as I cannot use Mexican accounts in the US stores.
The only way that the system would allow you to make purchases in the US Stores from Malaysia would be if you have a US bank card or PayPal account and the billing address for the account is a US address. Even though this usually works I believe that it is actually a violation of the Terms of Use for the Apple Stores.

Lion no longer available on Mac App store....

So what do we do if we need to download Lion again?
If we have Mac's which do not support Mountain Lion, but are currently running Snow Leopard, then how do we get Lion?
If we need to reinstall Lion, or create a bootable USB Key for Lion, then how can we do so, since it is no longer available on the store?
What if we need to reinstall Lion? What do we do then?
This is ridiculous. Is it going to be like this for other apps like Xcode as well?

I just called the number PDilla gave; they took my credit card info, and will send a download code and instructions later. I was a little surprised it wasn't immediate, but I'll report back when I get the mail (or when I don't :-) ).
Apple hardware runs a long time (this is an early 2008 Macbook); you'd think they'd keep software such as Lion available for those of us that have hardware that cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Update: In the time since I began typing the info, above I have received an acknowledgement of the order. The email implies that it will be a physical shipment, but the Apple store representative said it would be a code for download. It has not yet shown up in the Purchases section of the Appstore.

looking fro help to get new version of itunes downloaded on imac that is running snow leopard and trying to update to lion but cannot find the mac app store.

App Store is an application in Applications folder on your hard disk.
But what error do you get, when trying to update iTunes? That should be possible in Snow Leopard too!

App's Will Not Update in Mac App Store

I'm going try to make this a clear as I can. This problem only occurs when try to update App's in the "Mac App Store only " and not in the iTunes Music Store. And it only is happen in one users account. Every time I try to update apps in the Mac Apps store under the Update Menu. This is what happens.
I t will show you that you have and App ready for update.
1) I press the button to update.
2) It will ask me for my AppleID/Password
3) After entry my Apple ID Info: Here where I have the problem starts. The update will not download and all I get is the clock of spin. It just spins and spins. No draw timebar and no download.
I've remove the following in the (user/library) the following files and it dose not solve the problem.
user/Library/Prferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
user/Library/Prferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
user/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
This is only happen in one my one user account. If I go to my backup account I can download Mac App Store Update with no problems. This only stated after updating to Lion.
Help and other ideals or fixs in the the users/library that I should be looking at?

Why is the Mac App Store loading the wrong Apple ID when I try to redownload my copy of Lion?

Pretext:
I purchased my MacBook Pro 17" Back in March of 2011 from MicroCenter in Madison Heights, MI. Later I purchase OS X Lion 10.7 from the Mac App Store on July 23rd, 2011 under my Account along with a couple of other programs. I know it is under my account because, I have redownloaded the OS X Lion Installer twice before (10.7.1 and 10.7.2), making my own bootable copies on USB drives as emergency copies.
Now my Apple ID has never changed, the password is still the same as when I set it up back when I signed up for my iTunes Music Store account, the only thing changed is my payment options (reissued debit cards, and a bank switch). The account has always been mine alone, never part of any family account or anything of the sort. Outside of that, nothing has ever been editted on my accounts.
Last month my father decides to finally update from his 2002 Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver) to a new MacBook Pro a month ago. I show him how to make a bootable USB stick so he can always have an immediate backup installer. Both him and I are on AT&T which likes to cap bandwidth so remote installs are an insane proposition. He makes his own bootable USB stick of 10.7.3., and in an effort to save bandwidth I borrow it and make a duplicate.
Now I did boot from the copy of the USB stick, but never installed, I just wanted to make sure it loaded just in case. Anyway, I quit of out the installer return to my usual start up disk (OCZ Vertex 3 120GB) and continue on. Eventually I download the 10.7.3 update through the System Update. All is well and fine. Couple weeks later, I decide to make another fully bootable USB stick, go to redownload from the App Store (new AT&T billing cycle) and now it is asking me for my father’s Apple ID and Password. It refuses to take my Apple ID and password and tells me there is an error and tells me to try again shortly.
So I turn on the Mac App Store Debug Menu, clear cookies, and reset the app. I try to redownload again, but his Apple ID is still on my machine. He has never used this machine, not once. How do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Mac app store will not start in maverick os x. Anyone has any suggestions?

pleace help me...

Use OS X Recovery to reinstall Maverisks and hopefully it will repair the ise with the Mac App Store. This is safe to do over your current installation, but you should always be sure that you have a current backup of everything.

Mac App Store desn't reconize iPhoto '11 and neither iWork '09

I have an iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Mac App Store desn't reconize iPhoto '11 and neither iWork '09, what can I do?
Thanks!!

Have you installed iWork and iLife through App Store or from a disc? Note that they'll only appear on the App Store if you purchased them on App Store

"Updates" in Mac App Store contains multiple instances of same patch?

I started with a newly opened MacBook Air (mid-2013) with Mountain Lion. I used the Mac App Store to install Mavericks and the few subsequent OS patches. In "Updates", I see multiple instances of the same patch, listed a few times:
MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v1.9 (3 times)
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update v4.09 (2 times)
MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update v2.7 (1 time)
iPhoto v9.5 (1 time)
I haven't noticed anything wrong with the system, but it's weird to see a patch "installed" multiple times? Anyone know why this is?
Thanks!

Yes, seen that little occurrence more than a few times, eventually it will vanish from what I've seen.
If you installed it fine, no worries.
techs are looking into this.

Can't follow a link to the mac App Store

If I click on a link that will be taking me to the mac app store (not the itunes one) I end up at "install the app store..."
I have it installed, I can be logged in and still I cannot follow a link, I end up having to search for whatever I was aiming for manually.
All my software is up to date, my machine is a newish iMac.

I don't have one to hand, sorry, but I will see what I can find.
Okay, just googled one - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/compartments/id402352687?mt=12
I click on the "view in the mac app store" and it takes me to http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/?id=402352687 which for me is the Apple page describing the Mac App Store and advising me to download and install it.

Does purchasing a Maverick Mac give you iWork on the Mac App Store?

Hi everyone!
I have not purchased iWork from the Mac App Store before, but I've seen it and used it on iPhone and I prefer its simplicity to Microsoft Office. Plus, I give presentations frequently enough and I like Keynote a lot more for all its usability and effects.
I'm thinking of getting another Mac soon, and I'm glad to hear that the new Macs running Mavericks come with iWork. However, I'm wondering if I will have iWork as under my Purchases in the Mac App Store by default after buying the new Mac, since they come together. That way, I'll be able to install it on my other Mac, since the Mac App Store allows you to install your purchases on all the devices you own.
Does anyone know whether I'll be able to do this? Will iWork be put under my Mac App Store purchases since I will own it as a result of buying the new Mac?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, once you have the iWork apps installed on the new Mac, the apps will be available to download and install from the Purchases pane on your other Macs.
