this is crazy. I have a clean iMac that runs 11.7.9. I can't purchase a old iMovie version from Apple (say iMovie 9) to run in it? Just because I bought a second hand iMac without iMovie to begin with?
very frustrating.

If you have downloaded iMovie in the past under your current Apple ID, open the App Store, click on your name on the bottom left which opens "Purchased". Look for iMovie in the list and if listed, clicking the cloud download icon will download a compatible version. If you've never downloaded iMovie before, it's too late.

Does buying a new 2014 MacAir with iMovie installed? I've been using that for years. Also I just bought a iPhone 14 that has it already installed. I also remember buying Ilife with my first iMac years ago. Does any of that qualify? Thanks for your time.
Thanks
it’s a strange apple thing.
If and when a maybe changed from Apple ID, say 10 years ago, is not known anymore by me and had probely a good reason. Fact is that Imovie is stil on me devices. Is there a way to explore old apple Id’s?
or
can I try to log in with an Apple ID from a friend and after putting iMovie on my Mac and then
log in with my own Apple ID ?
FWIW, as I explained, if you have ever downloaded and installed iMovie while using your current Apple ID, you can download a compatible version. If not, you can't.
Got it. Thanks
You're welcome.
Hi same issue as above. I have purchased imovie before. It’s not in the list (AppleStore) on the iMac but it is on the list of my phone when I do the same check (applestore)
If you are using the same Apple ID used to download iMovie previously it should be listed in "Purchased".
download iMovie for iMac 11.7.9
