But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac or virtual machine running that operating system.
For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it. Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive.
After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Locate InstallESD. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks. If your Mac runs macOS Sierra Instruction to downgrade from macOS Sierra. Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers.
The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine download it for free here. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. If you go to developer. I'm guessing that Unfortunately, that means that you'll only be able to get the installer from the App store, and the only way I know of getting older version from the App store is if you have previously "purchased" that version and wish to download it again.
Go to the Purchased tab in the Mac App Store , you can redownload previously purchased macOS versions there even if they are older than the currently installed one. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Others suggest using developer. For buying even older versions of Mac OS X, you may have some luck searching on Amazon or Ebay and buying old physical copies of the installer disks.

This was reaaally helpful! I thought there was no way to use some apps having other than the latest version of iOS and the latest devices. Yes, it does work for free apps; price has no bearing on older version availability. Thank you for the information.
Your information is still relevant for iTunes version Thanks a Bunch!! Just managed to get a really useful app thanks to you! The work-around worked like a champ to let me download old version, EXCEPT when I try to open the app, it requires me to upgrade which of course I can't. As mentioned, not all apps offer older versions. Although it did allow you to download an older version, the app developer does not want you to use it for one reason or another and has intentionally bricked it.
I wonder if you can help with this: I opened an app on my iPad to find it had automatically updated - and I don't like the new version at all. I have an old version of an app on my wife's iPad, and it still works fine.
When I go into iTunes the app is not in my library so I don't have an old version on iTunes that I can easily download as per this article - but I do have it on the wife's iPad. Is there a way of getting it off hers and onto mine? When I back up her iPad I see the old version on it but it doesn't appear in the iTunes library. Downloading "not in my library" onlt downloads the new version. That does sound like a tricky situation, but I think we can get it resolved. The first thing you should do is delete any newer copy of the app from your iTunes library, if you have one.
Next, on your wife's iPad which still has the older version of the app, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. This should load the old copy into your iTunes library. If you do not already have a copy of the app on your iPad, you should then be able to do a sync and have the older version downloaded to your iPad.
Hope this works for you. Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work I'm afraid. When I try to transfer the purchases from my wife's iPad it does not result in a copy of the app appearing. The app similarly does not appear in the list of apps that are on my wife's iPad when I connect it up to iTunes - and yet, it does show up in the screen arranging pane, and it IS there on the iPad, as I can use it on her iPad. I don't understand why it doesn't appear and doesn't transfer when it is plainly there.
If only I could get it off I understand I could easily load it onto my own iPad. So the solution did not work with my wife's iPad - despite the app being on there it would not transfer when "transferring purchases". Luckily I also found a copy on a third old iPad and the solution worked perfectly there. Thanks guys! You are welcome! I am not sure why it didn't work on your wife's iPad, but glad you found another iPad to get it working.
I seem to be stuck with a similar issue. I can get the app downloaded and I get the message that asks to download an older version. So I have don this. However, when I open the snapchat app and attempt to login I still get an error message saying that the app is still only available for iOS.
It seems that downloading the latest compatible version does not do anything. How do I get around this? I have used the app just a few weeks ago with no problems. Can we download the older version of the voice on stage?
