I need to update from Mac OS X 10.5.8 to 10.7

I need to update my software. I bought a new Iphone5 and need itunes 7, but need to update software before I can do that. Is it possible to jump from Leopard to to Lion?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

No; you need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer to install Lion. Since iTunes 10.7 requires 10.6.8 and that's also a free download for people running Mac OS X 10.6, get a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, and unless you have another reason to upgrade the computer's OS past 10.6.8, don't bother.
