Hi,


Try the following procedure to obtain the highest version of iMovie that your operating system will run:


To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the trash. Sign in to the app store and open your purchases folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You will see your purchases displayed, including iMovie 10. Redownload/update

iMovie from there. That should be successful but, if not, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash and return it to the Applications folder.
