how do I upgrade from leopard to snow leopard and then again to Lion?

If you have Snow Leopard (SL) install disks simply boot from them and archive and install or whatever you wish to do.

Once SL installs immediately run Software Update (under the apple) until all the updates available have been installed.

In SL you will notice the app store icon (looks like a white A with blue background).

Click on it, log into your apple account or create one.

Purchase and download Lion. The installer will run automatically.

Good Luck

Do you know if Snow Leopard is only available on disk, can it be purchased online through Apple store? I am trying to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then hopefully to Lion after I can get to the App Store!

Thanks!

Snow Leopard is only on Disks

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...

General requirements

* Mac computer with an Intel processor

* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)

* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

* DVD drive for installation

* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It looks like they might still have it...

If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...

Lion/101.7 System requirements

• x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)

• At least 2GB of memory[14]

• Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed

• At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[14]

Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).

Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

You can only buy the disc in the online store, license and all.

I´ve heard/read something about Mobile.me users has received a email from apple releasing Snow Leopard for free to then go and upgrade to Lion, is that true?
