Hello tutusuzyq,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are having an issue redownloading apps to your MacBook Air. I'm happy to provide you some information.

Here is a resource that can help you.

If you no longer has access to the Apple ID. You will need to delete the apps and download them under your current Apple ID. If questions after reviewing the link, please let me know.
