Hello,
I am trying to download older GarageBand files for editing on my newer mac. This mac has never had GarageBand 6.0.5 (what the older files came from), so I am unable to download the older version from my past purchased apps in the App Store. Is there another way to download or purchase a GarageBand version 6.0.5 and install it on my mac?
Thank you,
Marta Williams
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
If you are using the same Apple ID as before, you should be seeing GarageBand 6.0.5 in your previous purchases, even if you never have used it on the new Mac. But GarageBand 6.0.5 will not run on any new system. macOS 10.14 is the last system that supports GarageBand 6.0.5. Is that your current version? A new Mac should have come with macOS 10.15, that is incompatible with the older GarageBand version. But then you could purchase the newer GarageBand 10.3.5 for free from the App Store.
If you are still running macOS 10.14 on your new Mac, you could simply restore the GarageBand 6.0.5 application from the backup of your old Mac to the Applications folder of your new Mac. Restore also the folders /Library/APllication Support/GarageBand and /Library/Audio/Loops. from your backup.

GarageBand 6.0.5 on newer Mac?
