Best Answer:Office 2011 is compatible with Lion, but 2016 is not. You should still be able to find copies of 2011 on shelves. Not sure if you can still download it from Microsoft's site directly.
You can also use something like Pages or OpenOffice.- Answered by Glenn B from Grantham

How to download Lion osx 10.7 on MacBook Pro osx 10.6.8? (Mid 2011/hard drive corrupt & dvd/cd won't mount) Any suggestions & recommendations welcomed
MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 Mid 2011 model Power Mac 5.3.
My hard drive is corrupt, missing Volumes, losing iTunes songs from imported CD'S left n' right. I tried to download Lion, but when I clicked on Buy Now, it went into my Cart, meaning no direct download?
I am hoping that with Lion OS X 10.7, it will not only repair hard drive issues, but also upgrade my MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 as well. I brought my Mac to a PC/Mac repair shop, the tech there, hmm, did not fix issues.
Also, I do not want to lose Software already installed on hard drive, as all my Adobe, Apple & complete software library was destroyed in 2013 by Hurricane Sandy (she took my house as well).
Any support, suggestions and or recommendations greatly appreciated.
Thank you!- Asked by L A S from North Bergen

Will OS X Lion 10.7 work on my older MacBook4,1.
Specs.
2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 667MHz DDR2
3MB L2 Cache.

- Flag as inappropriate (Will OS X Lion 10.7 work on my older MacBook4,1.)
Best Answer:Yes, Lion 10.7 will work on Macbook 4,1 (Early 2008 White Macbook). I have the exact same Macbook / ram / 10.6.8 as you and have felt increasingly compelled to purchase and install 10.7, mainly for security concerns, as it is still supported by Apple as well as Java security updates, and also 10.7 will run the still-supported Safari 6, unlike 10.6 which is stuck with Safari 5 and it's gaping security holes. Firefox 30 is great but I will also use Safari 6 if I install Lion.

Answer
I had a problem with Mavericks on my MacBook Pro. The only way to downgrade is to erase the disk (use Disk Utility)
Then use a physical copy of a previous OS, or....
restart the computer and hold command-R while the computer is booting up. If command-R does not take you to the menu screen for the reinstall you can also reboot while holding the option key and that will get you there.
Once you arrive at the menu screen please choose reinstall Mac OS X...
The procedure took me about 45 minutes total. Then I re-installed my apps and replaced my backed up items and have been happy ever since!- Answered by Michael A from League City

Best Answer:
Hey. The answer to your question is unfortunately no, as you need at least a Core 2 Duo CPU in your MacBook Pro. However, if you don't already have it, 10.6 Snow Leopard is a totally great OS, or you can also run the latest Windows and Ubuntu versions available. Hope I could help!

can you upgrade from osx 10.5.8 to OSX Lion
- Asked by Franco P from Canada
- 22-Oct-2013
- Flag as inappropriate (can you upgrade from osx 10.5.8 to OSX Lion)
Best Answer:Not by using this method. You must be running 10.6.6 Snow Leopard to be able to run Lion by using this method. This method is a redeemable code for the Mac App Store to where the OS will begin to download immediately.
To get Snow Leopard, you must purchase it the DVD (search "OS X Snow Leopard") from the Apple online store, install it, and then return to this page to buy the Lion upgrade. Please make sure your Mac is able to run Lion before purchasing any software.
I hope this helps.- Answered by Andrew S from Warren
