I just checked the App Store for updates. As expected, there were updates for several apps in order to add Big Sur support:
Thanks - this worked for me! I clicked on my profile picture in the bottom left of the App Store (Account), which shows my past downloads / purchases. This allowed me to download the version of Garageband that was compatible with Catalina. Safari downloads the following older installers as a disk image named InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. Open the disk image, then open the.pkg installer inside the disk image. It installs an app named Install Version Name. Open that app from your Applications folder to begin installing the operating system. GarageBand is an app for creating, recording, and sharing your music. It has everything you need to learn to play an instrument, write music, or record a song—your own home recording studio.
How Do I Download An Older Version Of Garageband For Mac
- GarageBand
- iMovie
- Keynote
- Numbers
- Pages
- Xcode
I clicked the “Update All” button to be informed “GarageBand can’t be installed on … because macOS version 11 or later is required.”
- When Apple launched MacOS Catalina, it killed off iTunes for good, replacing it with Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts.One consequence is you can no longer use iTunes to sync your music to.
- If a GarageBand update is available, click the Update button to download and install it. Check device or software compatibility If you're using an external audio interface, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in not made by Apple, make sure that it’s compatible with the latest version of GarageBand.
Seriously? Big Sur just shipped yesterday and Apple has already made a flagship app incompatible with everything else?
And why is it being presented on my list of updates if it’s incompatible? In the past, the App Store would never show incompatible updates.
This is absolutely shameless self-promotion. If they think this is somehow going to convince people to upgrade their comptuers to a new and untested operating system, they’re completely nuts.
Is Garageband Compatible With Catalina
UPDATE: Further investigation (see comments below) indicates that this was a mistake, not an intent to drop support for GarageBand on macOS versions 10.*. But at this time (November 17, 2020), the mistake has not yet been corrected.
