On my old Mac, I used IMovie quite often but I just recently got a new Mac and cant seem to install it. Every time I try to reinstall it by selecting the little cloud icon, nothing happens and I can't find it in my launchpad, downloads, desktop, or anywhere else. I've tried so many ways to see whats going on but I still can't figure it out. How can I fix this?
Windows, Windows 10
Hi, keely293,
Try this procedure: To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the trash. (You can skip that step if you had iMovie 10 on your computer before, but deleted it.) Sign in to the app
store and open your purchases folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. (NOTE: For El Capitan and older, click on the Purchases tab at the top of the app store screen and then sign in. Click on Purchases again to reveal your purchases.) You will see your purchases displayed, including iMovie 10. Redownload/update iMovie from there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash (if you moved it there) and return it to the Applications folder.
