Hi, I am running a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 and want to upgrade to OS Lion. I realise that I need to be running OS X Snow Leopard but do I need OS X Leopard first? and is it possible to get OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard as downloads?
Thanks:Confused:

You don't need Leopard first. You can just download and install Lion from the Mac App Store as long as you are running Snow Leopard.

Lion is the only version of OS X available for download.

I never upgraded to Leopard, so can I skip that step and just get Snow Leopard, and then download Lion after that?
Thanks

If you are currently running 10.6.8, like you said in your first post, you are running Snow Leopard.

Oh right, that´s OK then! So I just need to download OS X Lion? Another question, - if I bought my MacBook Pro in Santiago Chile will it make any difference to the OS X Lion download if I download it from the US Mac site?
Thanks very much for all your help btw

Just to clarify, Leopard was the PRECURSOR to Snow Leopard, so it is completely moot to your situation.
