How do I get iLife and iWork back after HD failure

While I was backing up my HD with Time Capsule the other day, it started to fail (yes, irony abounds).
Cloning didn't work and so I have a repair shop trying to recover my data. I did get a new HD and clean install of Lion (which is what I was using before the failure), but I don't have a complete Time Capsule backup.
What I do have is an older drag-and-drop copy of my User folder and almost all of my apps, but some of them, most notably iWork and iLife, do not drag-and-drop sucessfully.
I tried to go to the App Store, but it seems that there's no record of me buying iWork via the App Store (I can't remember how I bought it) and I can't seem to figure out a way to get iLife back.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, alas, my AppleCare has expired, so the Genius Bar isn't an option.
Thanks!

But of course, my point never was that Apple should "give it away for free." But if disaster strikes, then I don't see a problem with Apple offering re-downloads of AAC files that...
1. the customer has already paid for, and...
2. to a customer that can be positively identified (i.e. can login to the iTunes Store with the same credentials used to purchase the material originally), and...
3. to one of the customer's "authorized" computers.
This just seems like a complete no-brainer of a customer goodwill policy.

  • I installed Mac OS 10.9.4, but did not get iLife and iWorks. How can I obtain these

    I installed Mac OS 10.9.4, but did not get iLife and iWorks. How can I obtain these? Somebody talked about redemption codes, but I did not find any extra information. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance and best regards

    If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install them from the computer's original disks.
    If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID used to register the computer, click on the Purchases tab, and download them.
    If neither of these is applicable, buy them from the Mac App Store.

  • Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
    Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
    How do I get "save and quit" back?
    Thanks

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
    * also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
    It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
    I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
    Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on

  • HOw do I get my purchased music back after having to restore my Ipod touch

    I had to restore my Ipod touch because of a corrupted file. How do I get my purchased music back?

    The answer is that the iCloud advertising in Danish speaks of restoring apps, books and music and shows this, and in small print / gray print adds that in some countries this is not available. The Danish copy does not say that in Denmark the service is unavailable (suppose the English copy in US spelling showed the service, but did not say that the service was unavailable in the US).
    http://www.apple.com/dk/icloud/features/apps-books-backup.html
    Gendannelse, der ikke er et stort projekt.
    Når du indstiller en ny iOS-enhed eller skal gendanne oplysningerne på en, du allerede har, klarer iCloud-sikkerhedskopiering det tunge arbejde. Forbind enheden med Wi-Fi-netværket, og indtast din Apple-id og adgangskode. Dine personlige data – og musik, programmer og bøger købt fra iTunes – vises på enheden.2
    2. Sikkerhedskopiering af købt musik ikke tilgængelig i alle lande. Tidligere indkøb gendannes måske ikke, hvis de ikke længere findes i iTunes Store, App Store eller iBookstore.
    After another couple of hours of hunting around, a Knowledge Base article in Danish turns up which begins by saying that purchases from the App Store, the iBookstore and the iTunes Store are restorable, but in small print / gray print advises which countries the service in fact covers. Denmark is not covered.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539?viewlocale=da_DK
    I iTunes 10.3 3 og iOS 4.3.3 eller nyere (iOS 5 eller nyere til iPhone (CDMA-model)) kan du automatisk få overført køb fra App Store, iBookstore og iTunes Store til dine andre computere og enheder.
    Automatisk overførsel af musik og overførsel af tidligere købt musik er for tiden kun mulig i Argentina, Australien, Belgien, Bolivia, Brasilien, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cypern, Den Dominikanske Republik, Ecuador, El Salvador, Frankrig, Guatemala, Honduras, Irland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakiet, Spanien, Schweiz, Storbritannien, Tjekkiet, Tyskland, USA og Venezuela.
    Naturally, the Danish copy should in both the advertising and in the additional information start by clarifying that music is not restorable for Danish customers. Instead, the Danish copy extolls a service that does not cover the iTunes Store in Denmark. The term for this in Danish is 'vildledende markedsføring' which is to say that the marketing is misleading.

    the following post by Zevoneer in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8794716 says it all:
    Did you back up your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
