William.

I wondered if someone could help. I have an old macbook running OS 10.6.8 and I would ike to upgrade it. These machines don't have recovery mode. I can't go to the App store on the machine because App Store needs a more recent version of Chrome than my OS can support. So I'm in a bit of a bind. Any ideas?

Do you have to access the update via App store / Chrome?
Can't you upgrade directly from your mac?

Other than that only creating a bootable USB with 10.7 comes to mind -

Here's the thing, I'm running the lastest version of chrome that I can with 10.6.8, and I cant connect the relevant page on the app store, the connection just times out.
