Haunted Garage Mac OS

I've seen a lot of posts with people having similar issues installing GarageBand on their older Macs. I made the mistake of doing a clean install of MacOS 10.13.6, which is High Sierra. I tried installing GarageBand from the App Store, but it just kept crashing. After fussing with Apple support for two days, the simple answer is 'It doesn't work'!


There is a solution however, but you have to be willing to revert back to a previous version of MacOS. The earliest version you can still download and install from Apple is Yosemite. After jumping through some hoops, I am happy to report everything works as it did before I made the mistake of upgrading my MacOS to High Sierra. Here's how I did it. WARNING, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM AND DATA

In order to install a working version of GarageBand, you will need two things:

  1. An App store account with a historical purchase of GarageBand that you can click on to redownload and install a copy of GarageBand. The App Store will automatically check what MacOS you are running, and download an older, compatible version.
  2. You need to be running MacOS Yosemite.


Download Yosmite MacOS

Click on this link: https://support.apple.com/en-ph/HT211683


Scroll down to the Yosemite link and click on it. Your web browser will download the Yosemite installer as a disk image named InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. This next step does not actually install the MacOS. It just installs the installation application so that you can run the installer. Open the disk image, then open the .pkg installer inside the disk image. It will install an app named 'Install OS X Yosemite' in your Applications folder. Now you are ready to create a bootable USB startup disk containing the Yosemite MacOS installer.


Create Bootable USB

Plug a 16GB (minimum size) USB thumb drive into your Mac. Next, rename the drive: USB. In order to create a bootable drive, you will need to use a Mac app called Terminal. You can find the Terminal app inside the Applications folder, inside the Utilities folder. Launch Terminal. You will be using the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal.

Type or paste the command below in Terminal. The command assumes that the installer is already in your Applications folder, and USB is the name of the USB flash drive you're using (as directed above. The syntax must be exact!
