And when I go to the App store to purchase the upgrade it responds that it is not compatible with my computer. Any help here?

The hatter is correct that it was pulled. But this is to avoid people buying it by accident.


If you are certain 10.7 Lion is what you want, it appears you can CALL the Apple online store and they will arrange to sell it to you.


The same appears to be true of the 10.6.3 DVD. CALL the Apple online store to order.

I agree it seems dumb.


And Apple does not seem to have adequately trained their people to the way you buy these items during 10.8 roll-out crunch.


We can only hope that they find a way so that folks do not buy older Mac OS X by accident, but that they can still buy if they know that is what they want.


You can still re-download if you bought 10.7 Lion before, it is just new purchases that have this added complexity.
