Everytime on my MacBook Pro 16" 10.15.7 I try to update Garageband it keeps saying "GarageBand can’t be installed on “MacBook Pro” because macOS version 11 or later is required"
So I deleted it and tried to new download from the Mac App Store and STILL and getting this message!
What is going on???

OK. I've managed to get rid of the annoying update badge (using TimeMachine only) on my iMac Late 2013 running Catalina 10.15.7.
First, make sure you have a TimeMachine backup which includes GarageBand 10.3.5 (or make one).
Second, delete the GarageBand App** by dragging the App icon in Launchpad to the trash. Restart your machine and the red badge will no longer be showing in the App Store icon.
Third, now open a Finder window, select Applications and then enter TimeMachine.
Fourth, Select the latest backup and the finder window will show that last backup's Applications window.
Lastly, scroll down and right click on the GarageBand App icon and choose restore. when it asks "where to" select your Applications folder.
GarageBand will then re-installed and be ready to use.
Obviously, make sure you have backed up all your projects before attempting this.
** do NOT delete this App without a backup as you will NOT be able to re-download it from the App Store.
There is clearly a bug in the Update on the store because I also have macOS 10.15.7 and it's telling me I have an update, but gives me the message it will only install on macOS 11.
Running into the same problem. My mac is too old for Big Sur as well.
It's annoying, so I recommend just removing the App Store icon from your dock, and you don't have to see the red circle reminding us of our failures.
I'm having the same issue also on a Mid2012 MacBook Pro Catalina 10.15.7 It's aggravating. Please tell us how to exclude this app from Update ant the AppStore.
I had to do a fresh install of Catalina, due to something causing it to constantly reboot my macbook after the last set of updates .
So now I can't even re-download GarageBand either.
There is no way to get rid of the Red update icon.
Yes. I should have updated this a long while...that is what I also did and it works out.
Easiest solution: drag the app to the trash but do NOT empty it. Restart your Mac. Open trash and “put back” the app.
I can't update GarageBand
