[QUOTE="Bob M., post: 1852864, member: 200112"] Hi, I have an iMac and I'm using Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6. This version of the operating system was installed onto my iMac at the Genius Bar/ Apple Store about 18 months ago. Now, I thought that Garage Band came bundled as part of the operating system download but apparently not in my case as I don't have it but I would like to start using it. I looked into downloading Garage Band on the internet and the download is free but the current version of Garage band being offered is 10.3.4 and the download info says you must have Mac OS 10.13.6 or later to use this version. Now, as I have 10.12.6 and I'm unable to download a later operating system due to hardware limitations of my iMac, I'm wondering if it's possible to download an earlier version of Garage Band that will work with my iMac and how do I go about doing that? Also, I'm looking for something that can play various audio file formats on my iMac or convert audio file types so I can play them, listen to them. My current problem is that I cannot play MP4 files sent to me on my computer but I think I should plan for the future and get something that can read and play (or convert) many types of audio files. I guess I'd prefer a free program but if it's not too expensive and still suits my needs, that would be fine also. Any recommendations? Thanks, Bob M. [/QUOTE]
