iMove update I am trying to update iMovie on my MacBook Pro but as it was first installed under a previous Apple ID Appstore won’t let me upgrade. Why can’t I have a new copy using my current ID? (ID was changed because I passed on my business so had to use a new email.) Current OS is Ventura 13.2.1 – not the 10.10 shown
