  • This tutorial shows you how to get Mac OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) running on a late-2006 Mac Mini (model A1176), which officially can only support up to Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), according to this Wikipedia article. Although I have not tested it myself, the same steps would probably work if you have an early-2006 Mac Mini.
  • If you can upgrade to Mountain Lion then read my post 'Where is the Mac App Store on Leopard (10.5) or Snow Leopard (10.6)' to make sure you have the version of Snow Leopard that has the App Store. Once you have the App Store then continue down to the 'Upgrade to Mountain Lion from the App Store' section below.

As you may have noticed Lion (10.7) is no longer available in the App Store. Apple intentionally pulled it from the App Store so people would go right to Mountain Lion (10.8) instead. As of today the latest version of Mac OS X is Mountain Lion, so you might as well just install that, but you don't want to or if you machine doesn't support it then you'll want to go with Lion.

Lion (10.7) isn't available to purchase thru the App Store, but you can still get it for $20 from Apple directly by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).

If you can't go to Mountain Lion, then you still need to get Snow Leopard installed because you can't go from Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion directly, you must first get Snow Leopard (10.6).
