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'!
After you install GarageBand on your computer, additional content—including patches, drummers, and Apple Loops—may be available. Some additional content may be needed to perform certain tasks. In these instances, a dialog appears, informing you that additional content is needed, and asking if you want to download it. More sounds, more inspiration. Plug in your USB keyboard and dive into the completely inspiring.

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:
- 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.
- 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!
sudo /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app
Installing Yosemite MacOS
Restart your Mac holding the “Option” key. This will put your Mac into Restore mode. When the OS comes up, it will prompt you for which hard drive to boot from. Select your “Install OS X Yosemite” USB drive.
The installer will launch a minimal OS containing a restore application menu. Before you can install your new Yosemite OS, you will need to erase your existing hard drive.
WARNING, THIS NEXT STEP IS IRREVERSIBLE!!! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR SYSTEM AND DATA BACKED UP, AND YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATE METHOD TO INSTALL THE LAST VERSION OF MAC OS YOU ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST DATA.
Launch the Disk Utility app, select your internal hard drive, and erase it. It will reformat as MacOS Extended Journaled.
Quit the Disk Utility app, which will return you to the restore application menu. Now select the “Install Mac OS app from the list, and proceed to installing a copy of Yosemite.
Installing GarageBand
Go to the App Store, log in, and click on the install button of your previously purchased copy of GarageBand. Enjoy making music!

Apple's recording studio app provides a wide collection of controls, tools and effects that will help you create high quality audio content
What's new in Apple GarageBand 10.4.3:
- This update contains stability improvements and security updates
Apple’s vetted audio editing app, GarageBand, is designed to bring the capabilities of a music creation studio to your own desktop, and it comes with a large sound library, allows you to have your own virtual recording sessions and enables you to add amazing effects to your audio content.
GarageBand comes with 40 built-in lessons that will present basic elements related to playing different types of music, such a rock, classical, blues and even pop.
The GarageBand app will listen to your practice sessions in real time and presents statistics about your accuracy level.
There is also the possibility to take “Artist Lessons”, which means that you get to practice on famous songs while being taught by the artists that made them popular. Take into account that there are additional requirements to gain access to these lessons.
If you want to work on your own songs, GarageBand offers you the possibility to use a virtual session drummer or the sound of other instruments included in the library (the extensive controls, such as amps or stompboxes, allow you to personalize the sound).

Furthermore, you can choose to play any instrument by using your iPad: use the Logic Remote on your device and connect it to your Mac via your Wi-Fi network.
The recording can be mixed and mastered: you can use up to 255 tracks for the same song, change the audio’s timing, adjust the rhythm and much more. The final result can be sent to your iTunes library or you can upload it directly to Soundcloud.
To make sure you always have access to your projects, you can choose to sync them to your iCloud account: as a result, you will be able to continue working on your songs on your iOS device (you must install the GarageBand for iOS app).
All in all, GarageBand provides you with a plethora of audio editing tools which help you record tracks in no time and generate high quality audio content using your Mac.
