I'm attempting to download iMovie essentially for the first time. I'm sure my 2017 macbook pro came with it, but I must have deleted it at some point. Everything on the internet points me to the Apple app store, but the iMovie available there says "iMovie can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because macOS version 10.14.6 or later is required."
How do I get up to 10.14.6? I'm basically technologically illiterate. thanks.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13
You can choose to download a specific Mac OS version by going to this page: https://support.apple.com/downloads/macos
The suggestion above might fix your issue if you're looking to download the latest iMovie version. However, what I did was that I went to the app store and viewed my past purchases (it will prompt you to sign in with your Apple ID and password). The older version of iMovie was listed there. I clicked on Install and it installed an older version that was compatible with High Sierra 10.13.6. Problem fixed.
Dear omega7785,
I am also running macOS High Sierra and can’t install the new version of iMovie. There are some tutorials on YouTube for how to install iMovie 9 (The older version) on macOS High Sierra.
Hope this helps!
This is correct.
Step 5 has an error.
Workaround:
Skip step 5 entirely and drag the iMovie.app file from the folder created by step 4 directly to your computer's Applications folder instead.

This solution did not work at all. I lost my current version of iMovie which is not supposed to be compatible with High Sierra when I placed it in the trash. I checked the trash to make sure it was there, but it was gone. Then, when I went to try to download it again, the app store app would not allow me to download it even though it was listed in my purchases. Beware!
I have a iMac 27-inch Mid2011 and cannot upgrade past High Sierra 10.13.6. How can I make it so I can download iMovie and other apps?
the issue is that the mac in question can not update to mojave
is there a way to download legacy versions of imovie?
My Mac version is 10.13.6 and it can't uploud anymore. if I want to download iMovie it need 10.14.6 . Is there any solution that I can do to download iMovie . thanks.
Sign in to the app store and click on Updates. See if you can upgrade to Mojave.

Yeah, it does look rather complicated. But, hey, if it works so be it. :)
Thanks for posting the solution.

Thank you! This solved my issue :)
My purchased section still shows nothing, yet i now have imovie on both my phone and ipad with the same appleID...?
iMovie for iPad and iPhone iOS is an entirely different app than iMovie for Mac. Because you can get iMovie for iOS doesn't mean that you can get iMovie for Mac.
