Problems upgrading from El Capitan to Mojave - please help.

I can't find a download for Mojave. I followed a link to Apple store but got a message that the download was damaged and couldn't be accessed. Has anybody had a similar issue? I've logged in to the Apple Store via iTunes as well -- the upgrade is not there. Are there other reputable download locations?

MacBook Pro 15", OS X 10.11

upgrading to os mojave I want to upgrade high sierra to mojave on my macbook pro (mid 2012). I use this apple support site to access the mojave download (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683). the link for mojave download directs me to the apple apps store: https://apps.apple.com, where there is a link to the os mojave download. However, when I click on the download link, I get this message: copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can‘t be used to install macOS. Is apple going to fix the download corruption or are they intentionally preventing the downloading of mojave?

Can't Access Mojave Upgrade On App Store I have tried multiple times to download macOS Mojave from the App Store using the official link. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?ls=1&mt=12 I get this message: "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store." I can access the download to Catalina, but I cannot use Catalina due to many 32-bit applications on my iMac. Is there still a way to upgrade from El Capitan to Mojave on this date of May 9, 2020?

Look in your Application or Downloads folder for "Install Mac OS Mojave" and drag it to the trash and empty. Then restart and download it again.
