My max is version 10.6.8. How do I upgrade it to at least 10.7, preferably 10.8. I tried going on to the mac app store and buying mountain lion but it said it wasn't compatible with my computer.
You can't upgrade it to 10.8, and if it has a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU, can't upgrade it to 10.7 either. To tell what CPU it has, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.
If your computer can run 10.7, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for it.

In that case, you can use OS X Lion. Follow the steps of my comment
