This is a free download from Apple.īecause of the age of the Mac, you should consider abandoning OS X altogether in favor of version of Linux. This purchase is for a download of the software to upgrade from Snow Leopard. You should attempt to download to a flash drive in advance or use another machine to download to a flash drive. In other words, the version of Safari is to old.
I should point out you probably will not be able to download this update from a OS X 10.6 install.
You can then either burn to a DVD or create a bootable USB flash drive installer. A free ISO can be downloaded from the internet. The path to store the Mac from scratch would be as follows.
I assume that you have not purchased Lion from the Apple App Store and therefore can not download a copy. The last version of OS X compatible with your Mac is OS X Lion 10.7.5.
