Assuming that the iMovie version that you deleted was an iMovie 10 version, the following procedure will download the highest version of iMovie 10 that your present operating system will run. It might not be older than the one that you deleted. But it won't be the current version presently available in the app store.


To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the

trash. (You can skip that step if you had iMovie 10 on your computer before, but deleted it.) Sign in to the app store and open your purchases folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You will see your purchases displayed, including iMovie 10. Redownload/update iMovie from there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash (if you moved it there) and return it to the Applications folder.
