How do I get a previous version of Apple software? specifically ios, iworks apps

Hi all,
I have an iPad 1 that still has the original ios loaded. I don't want to load ios5 or greater due to excessive processor demand on iPad 1, slowing it significantly. However Apple genius bar tells me that the only upgrade available is the current version of the ios. Is there a way to get a previous version, like 4.3?
Also, on the iPad iWorks apps - Pages, Numbers, and Keynote - the current offerings in the App store require ios5. Is there a way to get previous versions that will run on 4.3?
thanks in advance for any guidance!

If you do a web search for "iOS direct download", you'll find sites that have links to a direct download from Apple's servers. Make sure of two things:
1) The URL for the download begins with "appldnld.apple.com". If you see any other server listed, that would be some unauthorized site and downloading from that site will be extremely risky;
2) You get the correct installer file for your model of device. If you get the wrong installer, you risk permanently disabling your device.
Once downloaded, install it by Option-clicking the Update button (Shift-click in Windows) in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file.
As to earlier versions of the iWork apps, no, if you didn't get the older versions from the iTunes Store before the upgrade required iOS 5, then there's no way to get them now.
Regards.

  • How can i get the previous version of iTunes back

    I have a MacBook with a DVD/CD drive, Mac OS X (10.7.5). I recently updated to iTunes version 12.0.1.26. It seems to be designed for Macs without a DVD/CD drive. How can I get the previous version back? I don't have a back up or use time machine.

    Thanks Chris, there a number of problems I'm experiencing. When I insert a CD, despite the preference being ticked, I nolonger get the box that asks me if I want to import. When I did manage to import I couldn't find where the file had gone. Perhaps what I need is a good user guide for the latest version of iTunes because at this point the impression I have is unless I'm buying from iTunes nothing seems to work as it previously did. It is impossible to add anything to my library.
    I'd be the first to admit I'm no computer nerd and all the information I've found so far to try and sort out my difficulties don't seem to work. Can someone please tell me where can I get a good user guide for iTune 12.0.1.26 because I find it far from intuitive? At least then I have a chance of working out if it's me or the machine.
    Many thanks in anticipation.

  • My antivirus software dosen't work with firefox, How do I get a previous version?

    After installing the new Firefox update. It says that my antivirus scanner will not work. How do I get my previous version so I can use my program?

    Firefox didn't say that. Firefox only disables Firefox add-ons that aren't compatible with the new version of Firefox. It doesn't do anything with the actual AV program.
    Check with your AV vendor for an update for Firefox 6 compatibility.

    If you don't already have a previous copy backed up somewhere on your computer, you can't. The iTunes Store will have only the most recent version of any app.

    P.S. Firefox 17.0.1 is supposed to be released Friday ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2012-11-28#Current_Releases ref.]) so you should start checking for updates tomorrow by going to the Firefox Help menu and clicking on "About Firefox". See [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] for more information.

    Please help.  I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes so I can synch my new iPhone.  I keep getting "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group."  Please help as I have absolutely no idea.  Thanks.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How do I delete an older version of Apple Software Update

    When I try to install iTunes 10 I get the message "The older version of Apple Software Update can't be removed. Contact your technical support group." (which is me). After clicking "Ok" a dialogue box says "Itunes Installer Interrupted." "The installer was interrupted before teh requested operations for Itune could be completed." Your system has not been modified. To complete these operations at a later time, please installer again." "Click finish to exit the installer." The same result when I restart & run it again. I ran "WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86" repair patch, and checked the registery to verify that "Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6001.22159" is installed.
    Now what?

    many thanks. Most likely damaged installation configuration information for your "existing" copy, then.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

    I can not install iTunes on my PC, I get an error message: "unable to remove previous version Apple Software Update"

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
