Can I upgrade my two year old mac book to Lion? it is currently running on 10.6.8?, Can I upgrade my two year old mac book to Lion? it is currently running on 10.6.8?

I would like to Sync the TV shows I have bought on my Ipad2 with my Mac book - I gather this is only possible if I get Icloud on my Macbook? Is this possible if I am running OS X 10.6.8?

If not how can I sync my itunes purchases on my Ipad with Mac book 🙂 Thank you

MacBook (13-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

iCloud is for Lion only. Your MacBook should be fine:

OS X Lion system requirements

To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:

An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM

If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
