How to Upgrade to Mac OS X Lion

OS X Lion includes a new feature for managing your apps called LaunchPad. The interface is almost identical to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch home screen, allowing you to easily view, launch, and manage your apps in one convenient location. This article will walk you through the process of deleting apps from LaunchPad in Mac OS X Lion.

Steps

  1. Your Mac must have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo, Xeon processor, Core i3, Core i5, or Core i7.
  2. Note: You will have to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.6.7 using Software Update to access the Mac App Store.

    If the App Store isn't showing an upgrade, then you have the latest version. If there's some reason you believe that's not true, contact Apple for assistance.

      Tips

      • Don't worry about your computer getting hot, even though it does during installation it is temporary for the time being. Once the downloading is done your computer will get back to normal.

      • You can open Launchpad in OS X Lion using custom shortcuts or hot corners by setting them in System Preferences.

      • Swipe between pages of apps in Launchpad by clicking and holding your mouse while making a swiping gesture left or right, or use a two finger gesture on your trackpad.
        Thanks
