The only other thing I can think of is to purchase a new computer with the current version of iMovie on it, or a used computer that has iMovie on it. If you kept a Time Machine backup, you can restore iMovie from that.Īlso, search Amazon online and see if you can purchase iMovie as part of the iLife '11 package. Then look at your purchased folder and see if some version of iMovie is still downloadable, though I doubt it. You might try signing in to your account at the app store, using your apple I.D. 2.) Connect your USB thumb drive to your Mac, then launch the DiskMaker X application from your Applications folder.
Yosemite was the last operating system where iMovie 9 was fully functional. However, iMovie 9 does not work well with El Capitan and later. It is separate from your old Leopard operating system and should still be on your computer in the applications folder if you haven't erased it. You might still have the old iMovie 9 on your computer.
And the older versions are no longer for sale. As you have found, you won't be able to purchase current iMovie version 10.1.8 because High Sierra is required.
