Imovie - upgraded mac and lost it I had iMovie on my mac (version 10.14.3), and the system was upgraded and i lost iMovie as the latest is not compatible with my system. In applications it is there although faint with a no exit line through it. I have gone to at the apple store and clicked on purchases and found iMovie there. Clicked download, but it will not open if i click open. it is not showing as an application. How do I get it back?

Unable to re-download iMovie on MacBook after updating. I recently updated my MacBook Air (2017) to 10.13.6 as it is the newest version available to me. To be able to do this update I had to uninstall and delete quite a few things and I didn't realise but I deleted iMovie. When I try to reinstall it in the App Store I am unable to as it says I need to have updated to 10.15.6 or later although I am unable to. I really need to reinstall it as I use it every now and then for editing things so if anyone has any way to be able to download the newest version available for my computer that'd be great. Thanks.

In the App Store sign in with your Apple ID and go to the "Purchased" page.

On the Purchased page you should see iMovie listed.Download.
