How to get back installed apps after a fresh install?

I would like to start a new installation, format Macintosh HD and reinstalling Snow Leopard. From that point carry on with Lion, Mountain Lion and, eventually but not sure, Mavericks. After the new install could be problems retriving all intalled apps from Applestore?
Thanks

My imac started with Snow Leopard, then after Lion and Mountain Lion i accepted the upgrade to Mavericks and i didn't appreciate the new interface and usage of some apps, i.e. iMovie. Meanwhile, even before Mavericks, os was slowing down, but even if a bit annoying and unusual still accetable. Consider that i have installed a bunch of apps regularly purchased, mainly fom Applestore. No fancy gadgets. So, as i didn't like that much Mavericks decided to restore from Time Machine. Possibly was a mistake and now i have an enviroment i feel i can't manage. Today, for instance iDvd shut down in an unaspected way three times and then i decided to reinstall. Agree Mac is not Win and, in fact, never had such a problem, but now i need, say for my interior peace, to start from a clean situation. That's why my question, what about my actally installed apps?
Thanks

How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake.

How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake?
Note that I bought my mac pro retina in the first week of December 2014. Yosemite, Numbers, Pages and Keynote were already installed. By mistake I removed the three apps by dragging them into trash. If I log into the Appstore, I see that Pages, Numbers and Keynote are not available for free now.
How do I get them back?
PS: I want to get the genuine versions without resorting to illegal means or taking advantage of bugs.
Thanks in advance.

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

How to get backed up apps back after restoring it to factory settings

Hi, I recently tried to update to the new 3.2.1 update, but something happened and it restored my iPad back to factory settings, the good thing was that I backed all my apps before I tried to update, but now I can't figure out how to get them back. I see them in iTunes, but when I sync my iPad it doesn't download them back (and yes, I'm using the same account).

Have you tried this:
To restore the software on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad:
Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
When the device appears in the iTunes window, select it.
Click the Summary tab, click Restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you back up your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, you can restore your settings from the backup at the end of the restore process.
Good luck.

How to get back WhatsApp data after hard reset. Backup disappeared

So after suffering phone issues for months but being a new mum and having no time to reset my phone to factory default, so I could send it away, I finally last night thought I'd backed up everything, ready to reset!
All my photos and videos are on google cloud and my 64gb SD card too. I'd backed up my SMS with an app and backed up all app data to Google. I'd also used the Sony backup/restore app to backup all my apps and I thought I'd backed up WhatsApp in its settings/chats/backup.
I know WhatsApp makes a backup at 4am every night in case you reinstall it and so I thought I was fool proofed and reset/erased internal memory.
On reinstaling, Google automatically started downloading apps again, which I didn't get, as I thought my backup from the Sony phone app would restore everything so i cancelled that.
WhatsApp hadn't installed yet so I installed it from the play store and it said it could restore my data, so I said yes! BUT it restored a backup from June 26th 2015, not from the last day as I'd have thought from 4am backups!
So I uninstalled WhatsApp and went to restore from the app backup file, which I could see had a backup of WhatsApp from 1st August 2015. Prob was it kept crashing on restoring the opera browser. It completed once but WhatsApp hadn't installed. So I ran it over and over. It still crashed on Opera.
So I used Es file explorer to unhide files and found the Backup on my SD card with 1st August and inside could see WhatsApp. I cut the opera backup file from the back up folder and pasted it somewhere safe to see if the restore would not run. But when I went back to the Backup/restore app and clicked restore, my 1st August back up folder had disappeared! I went back to Es file explorer and sure enough, the folder was gone from the apps backup folders!
It isn't in any recycle bin and now I think I've lost a month's worth of WhatsApp messages, which are really important to me! When I get chance, I'm going to put the SD card in my Mac and see if I can find the file there but has anyone got any advice on why the folder disappeared, when I only cut the opera backup from the folder?

P.s, all hidden files are shown in es file explorer as this backup folder was hidden originally. It has a '.' in front. So I'm pretty sure the folder it's gone, but as I've not erased my phone again, shouldn't the folder be somewhere in my SD card still and how can I find it using my Mac?

How to re-install apps after Snow Leopard install

I went from OS 10.4.11 to Snow leopard 10.6 OS, I have not Updated versions yet.
I used SupperDupper to back all of my hard drive of 10.4.11, prior to install of 10.6 OS.
I sort of thought that my applications and all of my settings would still be in place, that Snow Leopard would carry them over to it's new OS.
What a disappointment. No personal computer stuff from my old OS is present.
No System setup information is present, no Air port settings, No e-mail settings, no network settings, what a pain in the ........ well you know.
I got a basic OS right now and nothing else.
I do have the whole hard drive back up on an external though. how can I have MAC take the settings and third party applications and place them on the new OS without making problems for the new OS. Don't want to replace new MAC app files, with old ones.
if I use drag and drop then I have to spend a day and a half rebuilding network connections and then registering everything again.
How do I protect the integrity of 10.6 but still get my applications working without re-loading and without re-regeistering everything again application, by application.
Thanks for you replies
Randy

Alright, Superduper app on the backup drive allows me to launch SD, however, when I select the copy from drive (my backup) to copy to the copy to drive, the laptop HD, I find that the Laptop HD is grayed out.
I dragged and dropped SD to the Laptop and then launched and received the same result, the Laptop HD is still grayed out.
My SD says at the bottom of the window, Unregistered, but it was registered on my laptop before the OS install.
So i am I right that I have to get my network working, then register SuperDuper again, then see if I can select the Laptop HD as the destination drive for moving the apps over to?

First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

Re sync them from iTunes or re-download them from the App store. You will not be charged again if you download them with the same Apple ID used to purchase them originally.
