Here's the full description from Apple's support page for the update:Įnhancements to the Mac App Store to get your Mac ready to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion.

Most importantly, the Snow Leopard 10.6.8 update will add "Enhancements to the Mac App Store to get your Mac ready to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion," so make sure you install it if you plan to get the $30 upgrade next month. Mac OS X 10.6.8 is now available for download here or its Software Update mechanism, and brings with it a number of "general operating system fixes," including improved VPN reliability, and removal of known variants of Mac Defender. If not, reboot normally and try again.Apple has released what seems to be the last update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard before its next major operating system version, Mac OS X Lion 10.7, hits the market. Perhaps attempt the install while in safe mode and see if that is successful.

If I have missed something I hope someone else will jump in here and offer a suggestion.Įdit - You might try a restart in safe mode and let the iMac do cache cleaning and housekeeping. I apologize if my attempts to help have wasted your time. To that end, I've collected this link to the Mac OS X Mountain Lion retail purchase and download from the Apple Store. It may be that your original thoughts to download Mountain Lion and begin your upgrade from there were smack on target. And I believe your iMac meets the requirements for the upgrade. You have the links to the Apple Support documents detailing how to upgrade from Snow Leopard to El Capitan.

You might try once more to download a fresh copy of 10.11 El Capitan after first deleting the current download. As I see it you are following the instructions as presented in the support docs and I felt sure that the combination of available downloads would have been enough to get you to your destination here. Unfortunately I am unsure what the hang up is in this case and am at a loss as to how to proceed from this point.
