Cannot get compatible version of iMovie for Monterey and Purchases in App Store show nothing.
I recently upgraded from Mojave to Monterey and iMovie stopped working (no longer compatible), so I went to the App Store, but I can't get iMovie from the App Store because Monterey is no longer supported for iMovie (which is really dumb, by the way; Monterey came out in 2022). I cannot upgrade my OS any further.
Looking on the forums, someone mentioned going to App Store and looking under "Purchased" but it shows nothing there. I contacted Apple Support and they were useless (in fixing either the "iMovie" issue or the "Purchased" issue).
I don't understand why Apple cannot just
- check your OS and give you the latest compatible version when you click "Get"
- clearly host previous versions to download as needed (like many companies do)
- be able to send you previous versions when you ask for them (again, like many companies do)
Not just for iMovie by the way, in general.
Any other ideas? Or do I just not get to have iMovie because of Apple's weaknesses?
