How do I restore previously purchased version of OS?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download OS X Lion. When the download finishes, the OS X Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps.

HT201272 How do you restore previously purchased apps in version ios 4.3.1?

I restored the iPad from backup via iTunes and got my bookmarks back but not my apps
I learned that as of 4.3.4 you can just go to the purchased button in the app store. But how to do this in 4.3.1?
Please help

Thank you, but that does not work in 4.3.1
Any other suggestions?
Of course it does not work with 4.3.1.
I showed you wher it says " iOS 4.3.3 or later,"
Do you not see that?
4.3.1 is NOT 4.3.3 or later

How do I download a previously purchased version of Adobe?

I recently had to rebuild a computer and I can't figure out how to download my previously purchased version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro Student and Teacher Edition from the Adobe web site.

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Can anyone tell me how to find and restore previously purchased OS updates to my iMac?

Can anyone tell me how to find and restore previously purchased OS updates to my iMac?

Please go to the Apple (upper left corner) and click on About this Mac. In the resulting window, click on the numbers underneath until they display the OS version.
Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion are all OS X - they are 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 respectively. After you get the OS version, click until you get the "Build" number and post that as well.
If your Mac is from 2010, it most likely came with Snow Leopard. If you purchased Lion, then you should be able to see it under your Purchases in the App Store (not iTunes). But, first, we need to figure out what was installed on your machine after the hard drive replacement.
Not sure about iPhoto at this point - may have to do with whaever OS version is installed. Check in Applications folder in column view and post back which version of iPhoto you have installed.

assumming your mean photoshop elements 11, if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

How do I restore previous versions of a file?

How do I restore previous versions of a file?
please I really need your help

If you've overwritten the previous version of the file, you're probably out of luck. Some applications, like MS Word, create a temporary copy of the file, but they usually delete it once changes are saved to the original file.
You can use version control software such as CVS, SubVersion or ClearCase to keep track of changes to files. You could also store previous versions with some kind of backup scheme, with such tools as Apple's Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper or Retrospect.
OS 10.5 Leopard will include a sort of built-in versioning tool called Time Machine, as well as (reportedly) come with SubVersion pre-installed (OS X currently comes with RCS and CVS).
You might try data recovery software such as DataRescue to see if it has the ability to recover your file.

How do I restore an adjusted version from Time Machine?

I use time machine.
How do I restore an adjusted version?
E.g. I take a 1000 pix, bring them into a project, spend a few days making adjustments.
Client cancels project.
I delete project.
Month later I figure out a new market for that project. (Yeah, I shouldn't have been so quick to delete...Work with me)
I can restore the masters from Time Machine. (I use referenced images)
How do I recover my adjustments, without overwriting my library? Groveling through the .aplibrary they are stored as xml files, but there is a chane of references and set of encoding that is not transparent.
At this point the ONLY way I can see is to:
* Rename my present library
* Restore the entire library, whcih if I have lots of images can take hours.
* Find the project.
* Export the project.
* Delete extra library.
* Rename my original library.
While this gets my adjustments back, it does NOT get them back in an editable form. they are now locked in.
Is there a way to export versions as version info? E.g. as an xml file that sits in the same directory as the master?
Spin the question differently. How can I send YOU a set of versions of a particular master, WITHOUT copying the data of the master for each version.
Say we have referenced files on a network server. I want to send you a version, but NOT the master.
E.g. I send you ONE master, and 6 versions of it. In YOUR version of aperture how can you load the 6 versions to continue tweeking them.

There is another, huge thread on TM backups on this forum and exactly this issue has come up. Sadly, no one has a perfect answer. I do not have a spare drive available to test this myself, but I would try something along these lines.
-- Ask TM to restore your full Library and the Masters, if Referenced. I believe that TM will give you the option to not overwriting your current Library, but be careful. However you do, stick this "Recovery Library" out somewhere. (Yes, this is gonna take some time, run it overnight.)
-- Open "Recovery" with Aperture and select the Project(s) that contain the images you want. Export these "Projects as New Library." (Don't export as either Versions or Masters.) I would select the box "Consolidate Masters" and I would probably discard the Previews. Stick this somewhere.
-- Now open "Original Library" and import the "Library" that you exported back into your Original Library as something like "Stupid Lost Project."
-- You should now have a Project full of adjusted, and adjustable images. (N.B. this is basically the technique I use with my laptop. I shoot, load into AP3 on the laptop, noodle, and then export/import into AP3 on the MacPro when I get home.)
-- Clean up. (Delete "Recovery", convert the recovered Project back to Referenced Masters, if you wish, etc.)
One good argument for never throwing those old USB drives away.
I have missed some of the details in the process, so be careful, but I believe that this will work until Apple lets us run Aperture inside Time Machine.
Best wishes.

How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable? The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device. I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

How can I restore an older version (before the sync)?

I'm using Numbers on my iPad and my Macbook.
Yesterday I opened my Macbook and for some reason it opened the Numbers app but didn't sync.
I didn't really need to work on the file so I just left it open.
A few hours later I wanted to do some work on my iPad.
It prompted me with a "there's a newer version on your Macbook" and asked me if I want to sync to that version.
I actually forgot I didn't do any work on my computer and tapped on the sync button.
Now I lost all of the information since before the sync.
How can I restore the older version on the iPad - before the sync?

From your last backup.

They should be on the computer. Just sync them as you did the last ipod.
If you failed to put them on the computer then redownload them using the instruction in the article your reference above.
