I just loaded Big Sur, 11.4 on my MacBook Pro. When I try to open an existing project I get the error message "Sorry, can’t load this project because it is created by a newer GarageBand version. Please update GarageBand!"
Now I can't find Garage Band 10.4.3. to update.
MacBook Pro thinks all my apps are up to date. Not that smart, eh?

You may want to move the installed GarageBand 10.3.2 to the Trash (but do not empty it). Restart the Mac. Then go again to the App Store and search for GarageBand. Is there now a download arrow near the GarageBand icon? This should then install the most recent version.
Did the installation of macOS Big Sur, 11.4 really succeed? Have you checked the system version in the > About this Mac menu?

The most recent version of GarageBand offered at the AppStore is GarageBand 10.4.3.
You should find it at the AppStore, if you enter "GarageBand" into the search field.
If you are running this version, you should be able to open older projects with it.
Which version of GarageBand created the projects you are trying to open?
You may no longer be able to open very old projects, that contain audio files in a format no longer supported on Big Sur.
When I find GarageBand in the AppStore it does not have an update tab, just an open tab. When I open that tab it opens GarageBand version 10.3.2.
I can't find GarageBand version 10.4.3 to load.
The projects I am trying to open were created on GarageBand 10.4.3 and Big Sur 11.3.1
The installation of macOS Big Sur, 11.4 did succeed, then the installation of GarageBand 10.4.3 worked, AMAZING.
Thanks so much!!
Should I now empty my trash with the old GarageBand in it?
Thanks again.
Can't update Garage Band 10.4.3.
