#Garageband for mac 10.10 install

Scroll through this list of previously purchased apps until you find GarageBand.Click on your face – it’s in the bottom left of the window for me, it may be somewhere else for you if you’re running a version of macOS older than Mojave.If you don’t have GarageBand installed, and can’t access the latest version via the Mac App Store, but you HAVE downloaded and installed at some point with the iCloud account you’re signed into your Mac with then it should be a simple fix. That way if you DO have compatibility issues or just hate it or something, you can revert back to your current setup. If you do plan to update to Big Sur, as always make sure you make a Time Machine backup first. If you have a machine older than the models displayed on screen now then unfortunately you won’t have access to big sur or GarageBand version 10.4. Owning an older machine can actually stop you from accessing any version of GarageBand, but more on that later.

#Garageband for mac 10.10 install

Machines older than six or seven years old are unable to install Apple’s latest operating system and as such, are unable to install the latest version of GarageBand. Having said that most big issues with Big Sur have been sorted, so you shouldn’t really run into many issues though a quick google search will be able to tell you if a particular piece of hardware or software that you rely on is compatible.Īnother issue you may run into regarding Big Sur is the age of your Mac. Hardware and software compatibility issues and macOS updates unfortunately go hand in hand nowadays so holding off from updating to Apple’s shiny new operating system until all the wrinkles have been ironed out is perfectly understandable. So if you haven’t updated to Big Sur, doing so will allow you to download GarageBand from the Mac app store. The latest version of GarageBand, version 10.4 and above is only available to users who are running MacOS Big Sur.
