Q: Cannot upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard
Firstly, i bought a second hand macbook late 2006 3GB of ram second hand off ebay a couple months back. I downloaded far too much stuff so wanted to reset the mac to factory settings to start with a clean install again. So i rebooted and when it came to installing Lion i signed in with my apple ID and an error message popped up and said try again later. I looked online and found lots of people having this issue but with no solution. Confused i rang apple support and the gentleman told me to purchase snow leopard CD and install that then upgrade back up to Lion 10.7.5 which i previously had and seemed like a good idea.
I am currently running 10.6.8 but having issues with the software update feature. I click restart and the system restarts and all that pops up is the background image and the cursor.
I would me most grateful if someone could give me some advice as im currently £15 out of pocket and all i wanted to do was a clean install Thank you so much in advanced
