HT204266 How do I find an older version of an app?

Because I have an older iPad that I just inherited, I can't run important apps now that the new iOS update has come out. Does anyone know if there is a way to get older versions of the apps from apple? I have already checked with the developers, who say that apple should offer an older and compatible version of their app. But, when I got to download them I just get the message that I need to update to ios 6.1.1.

If an older version is not in Apple's Itunes store, you can't get it.
 Cheers, Tom

How do I find and older version of instagram for iOS 6.1.6

How do I find and older version of instagram for 4th generation touch iOS 6.1.6?

In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPod has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPod, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid. I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater. This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded. Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?

One of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

How do I access an older version in the App Store?

Does anyone know how do I access an older version of FCP X in the App Store to reinstall on an older computer that won't support this latest version? I recall minimum spec on older version being 2GB RAM (4GB recommended). Now it's 4GB minium (8GB recommended) and I cant install via my Apps Store account. I know upgrading RAM is an option but I am looking to get back the version I had running before I had to wipe & reinstall the laptop this past week as I'd prefer not to have to send money on this older machine (2008 unibody MacBook with 3GB RAM)
Thanks in advance for any help/advice (or offers of cheap but reliable UK based RAM sources)

iBungie,
I hate to say this, but Apple would like you to buy, a new MacBook, or iMac, or new Mac Pro
That way, you can do, what they want you, to do.
I've noticed a change in their business practices, over the last 4 yrs.
I tried to update to FCPX.1, but was told I would have to update the OS to 10.9 from 10.7.
When I updated from 10.6.x to 10.7 I lost the use of 5 3rd party software programs.
I do not want to lose, the use of other programs, by updateing the OS to 10.9.
Been a Mac user for over 25 yrs. Lived in Cupertino before and during the growth of Apple.
Meet both Woz & Jobs, during the late 70's & early 80's.
If you can afford a new system, then do. If not, look at systems from around 2012 that can handle the RAM, plus they will still have optic drives and hard drives. I have clients that want a disk.
Any way good luck.

How can I download an older version of an app?

*sigh* Okay. Let me begin.
So I have the iPod Touch 2nd generation, whose firmware is 4.2.1. It won't update any further than that. Since basically every app in the iTunes Store is only for iOS5 or 6, I can't download any more apps.
I had a few apps from when my firmware was actually acceptable and have kept them since. But today I did a restore (I backed it up, too!) but it somehow updated all my apps to the most recent versions which are not compatible with my iPod. I don't know where the old ones went. Not in the trash. Nowhere to be found.
I think for Words With Friends, my iPod can handle version 5.30 and nothing newer. But I tried to download it off a few different websites and iTunes is giving me syncing errors. I think I need to download it directly from the company (through the App Store or something which only offers the most recent: 6.01 or something similar).
But I don't know how to do this. Any suggestions?
I am a very disappointed Apple user. I'm beyond frustrated with this. Same flipping thing with my Apple computer. Bought it a few years ago and can't download anything on it anymore since the programs don't support my operating system.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

How do I install an older version of an app from the Mac App Store?

I have an older MacBook (OS X 10.6.8) and I can't install most apps. On iOS it will install the newest compatable app. Is there a way to do something like that on a Mac?

Then you won't be able to download the older versions. In order for that to be an option, you need to have previously downloaded the application, and the developer needs to have chosen to make the older one available.

How can I find an older version of itunes?

Hi
I need to reinstal itunes 9.2 to my Mac.
I was having a problem with itunes recognising my iphone so followed instructions to uninstall itunes. However when I tried to re-install I find that in the last couple of days itunesx has appeared. My Mac is too old to accept it. I cannot find a version of 9.2.1 (which is I think where I was at). I did download 9.1 thinking automatic update would take care of it for me but it doesn't. And when I try to open itunes it won't read the library as it was created on a later version.
Grateful for any advice on how to get back to where I was?

So it is locking up at Cover flow view?
Have you tried creating a new user account, and seeing if it locked up in there as well?
When you do launch iTunes is the iPhone already connected or disconnected?
You mention you tried uninstalling and reinstalling. If you could try doing it in the order below and see if this make any difference. If not follow the link below

How can I find an older version of iMovie?

Hi. My Mac Pro at work can only use up to OS 10.6.8, and it doesn't have iMovie on it. So, I need to find a way to download iMovie 9.0 and then install the updates. Does Apple provide this? Thanks.

Install it from the computer's original disks(phone Apple if needed) or buy an iLife 11 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

How do I download the previous version of Firefox (3) as my system won't support Firefox 4 (can't find the older versions archives anywhere on your site).

I already had Firefox version 2 on my mac (OS 10.4) and tried to upgrade to version 4. Couldn't find any details on system requirements, so just went ahead and tried to download latest version. By the time the process informed me that it wouldn't work on my system, the old version 2 had somehow been deleted. Now I have no Firefox browser at all and cannot find any older versions archived.

I think you can run version 3.6:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
I just read today about a separately maintained, unofficial version of Firefox for 10.4 users called TenFourFox. They are somehow repackaging the latest Firefox to work on 10.4 (''on non-Intel Macs''). You might want to research it and see whether it makes sense for you: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

How can I get an older version of ibooks?

Sorry if this question has previously been answered....I cant find a direct answer.
I purchased a 1st gen ipad in pristine condition. Unfortunately I cannot find an older version of ibooks anywhere. istore will not allow me to install the newer version because of compatibility issues. ( I have OS 5.1.1 ) I am not offered a compatible version through the store. Reading is important to me and I love the ipad. Is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance.

HI! I have a somewhat similar problem I have an iPad with an iOS 5. I already have downloaded the iBooks and been using it for a long time. The problem is that i used my Apple ID on an iPhone 4 with an updated iOS 7 and downloaded iBooks on that device. When i checked my iPad, i can't access the iBooks anymore. It started to reinstall by itself but it is only installing halfway. Same problem i have with my Twitter app. I have already logged out my Apple ID on the iPhone 4 and tried to reinstall iBooks on my iPad but its says that it is already iBook 3 and that it is only compatible with iOS 7. How can I reinstall the older version of iBooks without losing all the books that I have placed on it? Please, i badly need your help. Thank you!

How can I download an older version of Safari (5.0.5 or lower)?

To run software with an AP French textbook, I have to download an older version of Safari. 5.0.5 is the newest version I could use. How can I find an appropriate version to download? This is to use www.successnetplus.com with Allons au dela.

Hi Katy
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110722154439693
or
http://www.macworld.com/article/161367/2011/07/revert_safari.html
but download 5.0.5
which is forcing the install using Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com/
or
(re)install the 10.6.8 1.1 combo (1+ GB) which does overwrite safari 5.1 with 5.0.5
followed by checking software update
the first is quickest, but requires using Terminal
another browser is easiest if you can find something suitable, since you'll retain the latest safari.
