Hi marco2mv,

The latest version of Numbers requires macOS Big Sur or later. It looks like your Mac is running macOS Catalina or earlier (possibly macOS High Sierra?).

To check if your Mac can upgrade to macOS Big Sur or the latest macOS (currently macOS Monterey), please provide the year in which your 15" MacBook Pro was made. To check, click the Apple logo in the top left corner, then select About This Mac.

In theory you should be go into the "Purchased" section of the App Store to find the version of Numbers you previously purchased with your AppleID. Some versions of macOS require certain versions of the Apple apps like Numbers.

You can use LibreOffice which is a free open source office suite which includes the Calc spreadsheet in addition to a word processor and some other features found with MS Office suite. The most recent version requires macOS 10.12+.

"Macintosh GA" is the name of your boot drive volume.

Hi Encryptor5000,

I bought this MacBook Pro in January 2011 and that`s the model: Early 2011. But this model had a problem, the video card burns in most of them, so when it happen to me, apple change the video card for free but 2 years later it burns again so I bought another one (a PC one) and I left my mac inside a closet for 3 years and 3 months ago a friends told that he knew somebody who can repair it, so I go because apple says that they will repair my mac but only once. So it was repair but taking away the video card and it became a normal Mac, not a MacBook Pro anymore but I don care because it`s for my 8 years old son.

Now I can`t install any software and that`s the reason why I came here, my son use it for gaming but I would like that he can use another apps too

Thanks a lot

I hope you can help me

I forget to mention that the OS is High Sierra 10.13.6 and they told me that I would`t support a newer version because its a 2Ghz Intel Core i7, 8Gb 1600 DDR3 with a Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

It means that I can`t install the numbers I use to have 3 years ago?
