I am trying to upgrade from snow leopard to snow lion. I know that I need to install lion first before installing snow lion, but i can not find it in the app store. Any ideas where I can get lion, so I can upgrade properly.
There is no 'snow lion'.
Snow Leopard = 10.6
Lion = 10.7
Mountain Lion = 10.8
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:

You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
upgrade snow leopard to snow lion
