You can sign out of the App Store on the High Sierra (10.13) machine and I think it will stick in your purchase history so you can then re-download onto the El Cap machine as needed.(Why Apple doesn't let you do this just from the regular App Store window, I have no idea who knows if it's an oversight or some crappy forced-upgrade scheme.) Click on Install and it should tell you that while the newest version isn't compatible, you have the option of installing the last compatible version.Then go back to the older Mac running 10.11 and go to the "Purchased" tab in the App Store-you should see iMovie on the list.This will put it into your purchase history. Using the newer Mac, sign into the App Store using your Apple ID and download the latest iMovie.Note: You must have access to a Mac running High Sierra you don't need it permanently, but you have to be able to sign into the App Store on it. So after a lot of poking around and a few dead ends (in particular, ignore the frequent pointers to /downloads they only have upgrade installers, not clean/new installers, and only for iMovie versions in 9.x and previous, nothing in the 10.x series), I found a somewhat derpy workaround. Fail.Īpparently I am not alone with this problem, but didn't see any solutions online.
#Install imovie for mac el capitan 10.11.6 mac os#
I ran into an issue today where I wanted to install iMovie on my El Capitan (10.11.6) MacPro, but found a really crappy catch-22: you can't install it from the App Store because Mac OS 10.11 is too old for the latest version of iMovie, but then there's no way to get the older version (10.1.6) of iMovie if you don't already have it in your purchase history.
