UPGRADES AND COMPATIBILITY for Mac 10.13.6 and HIGH SIERRA

Hi there. I have a Macbook Pro 10.13.6 (Mid 2012) running MacOS HIGH SIERRA.

Ages ago I deleted Pages I guess, cos I never used them and now I want to use them

but App Store says that the new version is not compatible with my version of computer.

Also Garage Band updates seem not to work with my Mac version or Photos....

What do I do? Is there any more recent OS later than HIGH SIERRA that I can download on my computer so that the apps can run? Or where can I download previous versions of Pages compatible for my computer?

This is worth a try: Instead of trying to get the too-new version of Pages from the main App Store window, find "Purchases" at the top of the App Store window and click it. You should see stuff you have previously had on the computer.

That shows your purchases. If Pages shows, try re=downloading it that way. That may—just may— allow the store to serve up an older version. I've had it work on other apps but it seems to be on an app-by-app basis.

No guarantees but cant hurt anything to try.

Back up your data, check the application compatibility table, click here, and then on the download link for a more-recent OS. Your computer's maximum one is Catalina.

Catalina and above won't run 32-bit software; if you choose one of them, use Go64 as well.
