Why can't I install Pages anymore?
I have a late-2011 version of the Macbook Pro, bought in early 2012 and running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Sometime later in the year I paid $19.99 to download Pages from the App Store as it did not automatically come with my Mac. Recently my hard drive broke and was replaced by Apple under my Apple Care warranty, and now I have to re-install my old apps. When I go to the App Store, under Purchases I can see that Pages is there. But when I click Install, I get the message, "We could not complete your purchase. Pages cannot be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.9 or later is required."
Seriously?! I already paid a lot for this product and only got two years out of the purchase. I don't want to update to Mavericks just to have Pages.
Why does this problem exist anyway? If I didn't update iTunes, it's not like I wouldn't have access to the music I already purchased. I don't understand why this is the case with the App Store.
