If you already have Lion installed and you need to reinstall it, though, hold down Option and click on the Purchased tab in the Apple Mac Store to see the download link again.

You have to upgrade straight to Mountain Lion. And in fact, you can no longer upgrade to Lion, as it’s been removed from the Mac App Store as of July 2012. Once you do that, and you have the Mac App Store installed, go there to upgrade. That said, you first need to ugprade to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 through Apple’s support website. You have to upgrade digitally, or not at all - meaning 10.6.6, the earliest version to support the Mac App Store, is also the earliest version that can upgrade digitally to the newest version of OS X.

Prior to this, you could update the same version of OS X online through Apple’s Support Download section of its website, but you couldn’t go to the next major version without the DVD.Īnd in fact, there are no DVDs for 10.7 Lion and newer versions of OS X. That’s because 10.6.6 is the first OS X version to introduce the Mac App Store, which enabled online upgrading from Macs across major versions.

You have to patch Snow Leopard all the way to 10.6.6 first on Apple’s website (and Apple recommends going all the way to 10.6.8). You can’t go straight from the earliest version of Snow Leopard to Lion. Upgrading from 10.6 “Snow Leopard” to 10.7 “Lion” Lion system requirements: Note that 10.6 Snow Leopard is the minumum version to be able to run our Mac optimization app, MacReviver. If you have any Intel Mac, just put the Snow Leopard DVD in the drive and follow the instructions to upgrade.Īs we said earlier, if you still have a Power PC Mac, you’re stuck at 10.5 Leopard, as that was the last version to officially support non-Intel Macs. This DVD is also the only way for Macs with older versions of OS X to gain access to the Mac App Store and upgrade past Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is the last verison of OS X available strictly by DVD. Upgrading from 10.5 “Leopard” to 10.6 “Snow Leopard” Snow Leopard system requirements: If you have an early Intel-based Mac, it’s wiser to skip Leopard and go straight from Lion to Snow Leopard - assuming you meet the memory and hard drive requirements. Still, there’s a lot you will no longer be able to do on your Mac until you get a more recent, Intel-based machine. Leopard is the last version of OS X that supports PowerPC Macs, so it’s a good idea to have this latest version. If you’ve got an older PowerPC Mac that you’d like to upgrade all the way, put the 10.5 Leopard DVD in the drive and follow the instructions.

I had delayed the update this long because of a software suite I was using (They didn't have a sierra update until last week). I've done this on all of my other computers except my late 2012 iMac.įirst let me describe the issue, last week I decided to update this beast of a machine with the latest OS. I have scoured the web after many failed attempts at installing macOS High Sierra. Hello all, i'm new to the group and hope you all can help me.
