• Tutorial How to get older version of GarageBand back on Catalina or lower. If you need help getting a previous version of Garbageband because you’ve restored, deleted, lost, can’t find a download online or you’re new to appleid and somehow missed the boat but you’re on Catalina or lower?

Quickly and easily Whenever you’re using a software instrument, amp, or effect, Smart Controls appear with the perfect set of knobs, buttons, and sliders.

I just checked the App Store for updates. As expected, there were updates for several apps in order to add Big Sur support:

• GarageBand
• iMovie
• Keynote
• Numbers
• Pages
• Xcode

5) Re-start Garageband, and then click “Open Anyway,” after opening the plug-in. For whatever reason, it was as simple as that to get all of my old plug-ins to work, with the exception of SL Drums 3 from Beatmaker, whose website is now down.

I clicked the “Update All” button to be informed “GarageBand can’t be installed on … because macOS version 11 or later is required.”

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.

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.

Thanks for reaching out through Apple Support Communities. We're glad to help with GarageBand!

You've currently got the latest version of GarageBand installed that is compatible with macOS Catalina. The subsequent version is 10.4.1, which requires macOS Big Sur, so this message you're seeing when attempting to update is expected.
