Cannot update older version of iMovie Hi, just upgraded my MacBook Air to macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and found that I need to update iMovie also. Since the newest update of iMovie in the App Store requires macOS 11.15.1 or later, I need to update it to the older version (it pops up in the update). But after I click "download", the pop-up keeps showing instead of downloading the older version of iMovie. Is there any particular reason why it keeps showing the pop-up even after I click "download" many times? Thank you. ps: I cannot upgrade to the latest OS due to the storage issue

imovie in Macbook air I am trying to download the imovie app from the appstore. However, my computer is saying "iMovie can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because OS X version 10.12.2 or later is required." I do not have any updates to download however.

iMovie can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because macOS version 10.14.6 or later is required. Despite the fact that I've recently updated my macOS to 10.13.6, the App Store refuses to let me install iMovie. It keeps saying I need to update to version 10.14.6 but there are no updates available. Help would be much appreciated, thank you!
