Yep, I'm clueless again. You have to click on the "A" App Store icon on your Mac to get to the App Store. I had thought that I could get to the App Store thru the Apple Store. Silly me. I had to go to the local Apple Store to get some guidance.


The App Store icon should be in your toolbar at the bottom of your screen or you should be able to find it somewhere on your Mac. Then I tried clicking on Purchases like the Apple store guy said but my Lion purchase didn't show up there. Then I tried Categories and found Redeem there and maybe downloaded Lion for my old MacBook there but I haven't found it on my MacBook yet, so will have to do some searching. Oh, I had to go back to Purchases to do the download although the Redeem page said it was downloading Lion. Supposedly downloading now. Very annoying, this process is. Even Mickysoft seems easier to update.

If your Mac is running Snow Leopard 10.11.6 or higher you go to the tool bar that displays all your computers applications - e.g. Safari, iTunes, Garage Band, etc. You'll see the blue 'A' App Store symbol. Click on this. When it opens look to right of the screen and you will see Quick Links. Under that is a list of options one being 'Redeem'. Click on that. Then enter the redemption code that you have been e-mailed in the box that you see, to download. What Apple DO NOT MAKE CLEAR is that the Apple Store is different, to the App Store that you access from your tool bar.
