I keep trying to update my software to Monterey but my computer is not letting me. Also, I cannot seem to use any adobe products as apparently they need a newer OS as well. Please help.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
Hi ktnurse82,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Wondering which Mac OS version you are trying to update from.
If it is MacOS 13 High Sierra, the difficulty is likely to be a compatibility issue.
Am no expert in this area, yet your request surely deserves a reply.
Mac OS versions before Catalina (Mac OS 10.15) used 32 bit apps,
whereas
Mac OS Catalina and later versions must use use 64 bit apps
32-bit app compatibility with macOS... - Apple Support
32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support
Locate all 32-bit apps in System Info
