I need to upgrade my first generation Macbook Air 1,1 to Lion OS x10. I need to install other software that requires 10.7 also a java update that requires 10.7. I am currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my macbook Air 1.1 will not go up to Mountain Lion. The Lion software update 10.7 is no longer available from the store or downloads.

Where do I get this?

It was only released a couple of months ago.

I really feel disinfranchised already by not being able to upgrade and keep up with other software needs but to not allow me to update to my full capacity is really ridiculous.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Where is my download for 10.7?

I just called Apple after backing up my computer.

I purchased OS X 10.7 Lion for 19.95 plus tax.

I will receive a series of 3 emails over the next 48 hours.

The final email will contain the code and instructions for 2 downloads in my household for Lion OS X 10.7.

Thank you for the quick help and response during this frustrating period.

I appreciate it.

Jenna
