Install GarageBand on old MacBook High Sierra - MacOS version 12.3 or later is required error

We could not complete your purchase. GarageBand can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" because MacOS version 12.3 or later is required .
MacOS version 12.3 is Monterey.
Download an older version of GarageBand?
The current version requires macOS 12.3 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.
In this video I will show you how to download the top free app on the Apple store GarageBand on an old mac using macOS High Sierra.
GarageBand 10.3.5 is compatible with my 2010 MacBook using macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
The newest version is GarageBand 10.4.7
The newest macOS is Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)

Wow..! Would not have believed this. I've tried all sorts of ways to download Garageband on my old 10.13 version of High Sierra, but always failed. This guy is a genius. The program works in every way. Thanks so much.

[@SuAmigoAlex]

Glad I could help!

[@jayyv2x272]

this indeed still works and if u don’t have another computer to do it with but have purchased garageband on your phone it will still work

[@lillebroer75]

How? I tried and none of the iOS device downloads are showing up under purchases when I log into my account from a MacOS device. Can't figure it out. Any advise?

[@Dicktoben]

Can you explain a bit better ? I downloaded it on my phone and not sure what to do now to get it on my Mac

[@jctotgaminginc]

That’s because the Mac version is a seperate app

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Perfect for me. You definitely earned my sub with this one. I have an old iMac running MacOS High Sierra and I want to use it for recording. previous to this I was told I would have to upgrade to the newer OS by using a patcher and then possibly losing Wifi and some functionality. Thank you for sharing this.

This is FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. I subscribed and liked….. i used the same process on an IPAD that used to have garage band on it but when I handed the ipad to my wife it said it cannot download gb as it needed an iPad version no 17 although the latest iPad versions just reached 16….. all stupid methods used by apple. No wonder they have to have so many so called bug fixes

[@SuAmigoAlex]

Thank you so much

[@lillebroer75]

Unfortunately this work-around won't solve the issue for me as I never purchased/downloaded GarageBand from the App Store via MacOS. It was preinstalled on my 2011 computer when I bought it. I only purchased a later iOS version for my iPad - however, the iOS purchases don't show up when I log into my App store account from a desktop computer. It says "No purchases", so I do not get any download version at all. Is there any way I can still download a working older version somehow?

[@chinito6715]

Same here !

[@chinito6715]

Let me know if you found a fix for it

[@PunkRock131]

exact same problem

[@mija288]

Your workaround is finding a friend with a newer OS, download GB to theirs and then have them go to previously purchased, put in their PW on your computer, download and their you go

[@kevinwilliams4403]

still works. it is a joke that you cant just install the latest version on the older device. also why limit the most recent version to newer macs. just installed it on my 2016 mac after i installed it on my 2021 mac

There you go, accordingly to Apple, old computers don't have the hardware to handle new software.

It will work on iphone? If i have newest version os IOS on iphone, and then download it from app store in iphone?

Apple quiere q te compres una nueva mac por eso a las mac viejas ya no les da soporte, lo que muestro en el video es un truco que sirve si es q tienes acceso a otra mac con un macOS mas nuevo, si no lo puedes hacer no hay mas nada que hacer, lo q no te haz dado cuenta es de la cantidad de gente que ne agradece por hacer el video, en cambio tu lo que haces es quejarte. Hacer estos videos toma tiempo y esfuerzo. Piensa en eso antes de hacer un comentario negativo.
