macossnow leopard
I couldn't find Mac OS X Lion in the App Store. Can I go from Snow Leopard to Lion without migrating to Mountain Lion?
Many programs are now dropping support for Snow Leopard (newer XCode, newer fortran compilers, etc.), but I don't want Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion still lacks support for some software that I like (ex. Little Snitch).
What are my (legal) options?
You can register as a developer for free on developer.apple.com. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for
Once registered you can download Xcode 3.2.6 from the developer site:
This issue affected several people after upgrading to Mountain Lion. For many, reducing their MTU size solved the issue:
ping behaves over time. You can further reduce the MTU size in steps of 4.However, there seems to be another issue: Proxies. The solution suggested here is:
This should be fixed with an upgrade to OS X 10.8.1 (not sure if an upgrade to Mountain Lion directly brings you to the latest upgrade, or to 10.8.0).
Actually, I would first try the upgrade to 10.8.1. If this does not work, try the proxy solution. If this does not work, try the MTU size reduction.

Call Apple, 1-800-My-Apple and order Lion over the phone.
This is the only way to get it now. Apple will email you a code you use on the App store to download it.
BTW - Little Snitch is Mountain Lion compatible now. I highly recommend upgrading to Mountain Lion.
