Your comment about "I can't use the app store as i need the 10.9 version" does not make any sense since the App Store was released with 10.6.6.
You are correct that there are no updates for 10.7.5. What you need to do is open the App Store and purchase El Capitan.

Dec 18, 2015 9:25 AMby hhfjhskjhaf,Sorry about that, all i really know is I'm on an old macbook and when i click on "about this mac" it says MAC OS X version 10.7.5, i hope this is enough info, my problem is when i try and download an app i want to use (Garageband) it says i need version 10.9, but I've tried to update to El Captain but its not compatiable, how could i get the version required for the app store, or could you even tell me how i could get garage band for the older version? Sorry I'm noob so hopefully this all makes sense

You need to tell us the model or year of the Macbook you have exactly.
In About This Mac, there should be a year displayed. Or an identifier in the form of X,Y where X and Y are numbers Alternatively, click on System Report, and tell us the model number from there.
If the App Store is telling you that El Capitan is not compatible, then its not, and you won't be able to run the new version of Garageband,

Personally I don't trust any of them because I have had to help others repair the damage done to their Mac after using those sites.
I leave to choose up to you. If you want a copy of Garageband bad enough to risk your system that is your decision.

Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Lion is just too old at this point.
