I cannot download applications purchased in 2011

In 2011 I purchased some Apple applications on the App Store (Keynote, Pages, Compressor, FaceTime and iBooks Author). Having had a disk crash, I need to download them again, but I cannot get the same versions I originally bought. I am asked to first update to 10.9 'cause the new versions don't work with Lion.
I don't want to update my OS, I want the original programs I purchased in 2011. Is there a way out? Is it really possible that I cannot get a non-updated copy of my programs? It sounds absurd.
HELP!
Massimo in the UK

wait a minute: how could I back up the full programs if their files and pref were installed in different places without me knowing where they were? I do have a copy of the programs, but they do not open now on my reformatted HD. :-(
Any words of wisdom?

    Hello! I cannot download applications, when I try to do it the application says "waiting" but it does not continue downloading! Can someone help me????

    Download only one application at a time.
    Click all downloading applications until they all say "Paused".  Then click one at a time, let it complete downloading, then click the next and repeat.

  • HT5070 Is there a block on downloading movies? I cannot download my purchase seasonal movies on my Apple IPAD. I am working in Erbil Iraq.

    I need to know why I cannot download my purchase movies while working abroad.
    I work in Iraq and before coming over I purchase the Walking Dead Series, but now when the new episodes comes out I cannon download them. Why is that?

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

  • HT201272 Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..

    Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..
    How could I get app updates without change country back to origional country where I purchased app.?
    I have purchased lots apps on 2 country by same AppleID.
    It does not make sense to change the country setting.
    Due to in some country, iTunes online store only offer music/movies but NO TV show.
    So I change registered country of my AppleID to US store.
    Now I could purchased HD/1080p movies/TV shows, but cannot get app updates on iTunes which I purchased on pervious country.

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

    iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.  Anyboy else get this looping error?

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • TS3274 I cannot download applications

    There seems to be a problem when I enter my password, but I can log in fron the computer. I cannot download applications from Ipad

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Maybe that will refresh your account.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download an app.
