How do I get previously purchased software on DVD listed as an App Store download?

As many likely have, I have previously purchased Apple software (Aperture, Final Cut Express, iLife, iWork) before App Store began. I obviously do not want to re-purchase but now my Macbook Pro and Air do not have DVD drives.
Is there a way to get App Store to recognize these purchases so that I can have them listed in App Store?

To recognize software purchased on a DVD in the App Store, the only way to do it is to repurchase them in the App Store.
If your MacBook Pro and Air don't have a SuperDrive, you can buy an external optical drive to install it or, if you have another Mac, you can use Remote Disc to install the software on both computers. Also, Final Cut Express isn't available on the App Store

Can you help me?

  • How do I get old purchased software again (iWork, etc)

    I had a hard drive crash in my iMac.  Lost all data because my external back had failed two day earlier! Anyway, how do I get stuff I purchased back on my machine, such as iWork, and more that I can 't recall right now.
    Thanks!

    If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, log into the store with the appropriate Apple ID and click the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You'll see all your purchases there and will be able to re-download them. If you did not purchase them from the MAS  you'll need to reinstall them from the CD/DVD or other internet downloads.

  • How do I get previously purchased downloads on my new ipod

    I had to replace my ipod due to theft. I have logged on and set up my new ipod but can not find previously purchased downloads now. Can I put them on my new ipod? If so, how?

    All your downloads should be in iTunes.
    Did you purchase the items on the iPod?
    If you did, did you transfer the purchases from the iPod to iTunes?

  • HT201272 I previously downloaded iphone apps and stored them on my phone and computer. Now I want to download them to my ipad but my iphone bit the dust. how can I get previously purchased apps to my new ipad.?

    I purchased an application that offered all kinds of books, imbedded within, at no cost...now on IPAD all like books, study guides, are imbedded for purchase. I dont see why I have to pay for the application twice...It was Olive Bible : offering on my phone at least 5-10 different  translation, plus 20+ books by the old Church preachers dating back to the reformation forward. Please advise how to access my iphone apps...already paid for...to install on my ipad.

    If they are still in the store and you are signed in with the same account (and they are compatible with iPads) then you should be able to download them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app - you may need to tap the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of that screen and select 'iPhone Apps' instead.
    Or if you have on your computer's iTunes you can connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them to your iPad.

  • How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

    I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
    So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it.  Apple has me confused.
    Anybody have a clue?

    Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
    P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals.  I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
    I'll call Apple tomorrow.

  • I recently purchased U2 Any DVD Ripper on Mac App Store and can not get it to work!  Help!!

    I can not find any documentation on how to use this software.  I can not figure out how to get it to copy a DVD to Mp4 format on my media hard drive, allowing me to watch the video on my apple tv.  Please help or direct me to get a refund for this $14.99 purchase. 

    Did you reset your PRAM?
    command-option- p-r
    Hold down all four keys as the mac starts up and wait for the chimes to ring twice. Then let the machine start up as usual.
    If it works be sure to check your date and time settings (the system will tell you)
    You can also start up from your system disk holding down the c key as it starts-- go past the language screen and open disk utilities from the menu bar run disk repair and then repair permissions. Set your startup disk to your new drive.
    Hopefully that will take care of the problem.

  • How do I get my Pages '09 (that I paid for in App store) into my new Macbook Air (as it's no longer available)?

    I canot use the "new" Pages 5 for the raft of reasons poiinted out in these forums. I need a robust, full-powered word processor on my robust, full powered MAC.
    I bought Pages '09 from the APP Store long ago for my old Macbook Air.
    I upgraded to Mavricks on my old Macbook Air and see I still have the "old" Pages '09 app in my Applications directory.
    Now I have a new Macbook Air I just bought on its way to me now.
    Can I just copy the app from the file right over--or will it fial to run as it was not "installed" properly?
    HOW DO I GET PAGES '09 onto my NEW Mac?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    If that doesn't work you can use Migration Assistant - of course that will move all the application to the new computer.

  • I upgraded my mac mini to Yosemite, now I lost iphoto, how do I get it back? When I go to the app store, its says its not available in the US

    help

    You would need iPhoto 9.6.1.  If you have been using iPhoto and kept up with the updates then it should be in your Purchases in the App store.  If not then it is gone and you will have to use the new Photos app.  If you had an earlier version of iPhoto you can delete that one and when you again download from the App store it will download 9.6.1 (this assumes that it is in your purchases from before).

  • How do you get previously purchased items to my iphone

    So after iOS 5, I thought you were supposed to have the ability to download previous songs and tv shows onto my phone (no matter how long ago you bought them).  I cannot do this.  When I use the music application and go to purchased, it says I have nothing purchased?  Does anyone have a similar problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    You only get one download if audiobooks.
    It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    Did you fail to do this?
