Can I recover lost iOS 5 versions of apps that have been upgraded to iOS 6 and beyond

My iTunes account covers an iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1) and an iPod Touch 5,1 (iOS 8.0.2) and some of the apps stored by iTunes are no longer compatible with iOS 5.
My iPad has recently got totally frozen and so had to be put into recovery mode and restored but this process has caused me to lose apps that are on the iPod and upgraded for iOS 6 and beyond.
For example, my iPad no longer has iBooks which is the main reason that I bought it originally.
Is there any way that I can recover these lost apps? They are not in my waste bin/trash folder.

If you have purchased/downloaded the App before, and it appears in the Purchased tab of the App Store on your iPad , then tapping on the cloud icon next to it  to start the download will issue the Non compatible error, but will in fact prompt you to download a compatible version if your iOS version does not support the most current one and if there is a compatible version available.

  • Any Good Apps That Have Been Updated For iOS 4?

    So I'm trying to find some good apps that really take advantage of the iOS 4 new features. Was just curious if anyone's using an app that was recently updated with the notes that it supports iOS 4. I know Fandango does, but it doesn't really have any iOS 4 features built-in...

  • Can you share specific apps with other devices under same Apple ID?  ...or do you need to enable he sharing of all apps that have been downloaded under that ID?

    My family has multiple devices under one apple ID.  I want to share only certain apps with certain family members.  Is it possible to limit what apps are shared with which devices or do I need to share all of the apps that I download for personal use?

    Thanks.  I turned off the automatic downloads on the new devices (minis), but when I go into the app store I don't see any of the apps I have bought (for my original iPad) under "purchased".  I was thinking that this was the logical place to find those apps that I want to download to the new devices.  What am aI missing?

    How can I get a refund for an unwanted app that I just purchased?

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund. Consider whether or not you want to do this now carefully first; if they grant one, you'll need a very good reason to get another from them.

    If all your files are missing
    You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.   
    If files are missing from one folder
    Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
