Reinstall Imovie, GarageBand, etc after formatting MacBook Pro

HI,

I bought this computer in 2012, so I thought it was time to I erased my computer and reinstalled the operating system (Yosemite 10.10.2).

So far everything is working ok, but today I realized I don't have imovie, iphoto, garageband, etc. I'm using the same apple ID, so I thought that I should be able to download them for free.

I could download the iphoto, but I wasn't that lucky with the other apps.

Could you help me?

Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID?

If they were on your mac, they should be in the Appstore "purchased" unless you had them already before that.

If you have a TM backup, go back to the date that they were on your mac, then restore them, so that they are on your mac, working or not, then download from the Appstore from the left tab.
