Apple has released the macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update, which includes several security fixes for your Mac. You can get the details of the update in Apple’s macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update support document.
I'm running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. Since my iMac can't be updated to Big Sur, I decided to try to delete Garageband from my iMac and reinstall it. But to reinstall you have to go on the App Store in your computer and then click under your user name and then you'll see all the apps you have previously downloaded or bought.
- Dec 10, 2020 GarageBand is the easiest way to create a great-sounding song on your Mac. Add realistic, impeccably produced and performed drum grooves to your song with Drummer. Easily shape the sound of any instrument in the Sound Library with Smart Controls.
- What version of GarageBand will work on Catalina (version: 10.15.7)? Question I realised I can't get the latest version of GarageBand from the app store as I don't have Big Sur (I can't upgrade, 2012 iMac is too old).
- Nov 12, 2020 Open GarageBand on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. In the My Songs browser, tap Browse, tap Select, then tap the project you shared from your Mac. Tap, then tap Ringtone. Enter a name for the ringtone, then tap Export. If the ringtone is longer than 30 seconds, tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically.
Before installing the update, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac’s data in case the update causes an issue with your software and you need to restore. Here’s how to install the update.
Click on the Apple menu and select About This Mac.
Click on the Software Update button that appears in the Overview tab.
The Software Update system preference should open. Click the Update Now button when you are ready.
Your Mac will need to restart.
I just checked the App Store for updates. As expected, there were updates for several apps in order to add Big Sur support:
- GarageBand
- iMovie
- Keynote
- Numbers
- Pages
- Xcode
I clicked the “Update All” button to be informed “GarageBand can’t be installed on … because macOS version 11 or later is required.”
Seriously? Big Sur just shipped yesterday and Apple has already made a flagship app incompatible with everything else?

And why is it being presented on my list of updates if it’s incompatible? In the past, the App Store would never show incompatible updates.
This is absolutely shameless self-promotion. If they think this is somehow going to convince people to upgrade their comptuers to a new and untested operating system, they’re completely nuts.

UPDATE: Further investigation (see comments below) indicates that this was a mistake, not an intent to drop support for GarageBand on macOS versions 10.*. But at this time (November 17, 2020), the mistake has not yet been corrected.
