[QUOTE="usagora, post: 1852868, member: 60390"] Normally MP4 files contain video, not just audio. But VLC Media Player should be able to handle just about any MP4 file (assuming it's not corrupted) just fine, whereas sometimes QuickTime is not able to decode it: [url=https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html]Official Download of VLC media player for Mac OS X - VideoLAN[/url] VLC can also convert MP4 to MP3 (audio only). [B][SIZE=4]AS FOR GARAGEBAND:[/SIZE][/B] I'm not sure if you'll be able to download a compatible copy from online. Just to be sure about your iMac's compatibility with High Sierra, click on the Apple logo at the top left of your screen, then click About This Mac. Underneath the operating system name/version, it should say iMac, followed by the screen size and model year. I believe if it's late 2009 or newer, you should be able to install High Sierra (10.13). If it's older than that, I would suggest seriously considering looking for a newer iMac on the used market. If that's not an option, you can look for maybe an iLife '11 disc on eBay. [/QUOTE]
