If you need to downgrade your macOS due to issues with an unsupported upgrade from OpenCore Legacy, follow these steps: First, download the correct macOS version for your computer. Then, use OpenCore Legacy to recreate a bootable drive with the same hard drive or USB you used for the initial unsupported installation. Once done, restart your computer. The external USB or hard drive will now serve as a bootable installer for the desired macOS version. Restart your computer, go to Disk Utility, erase everything, and then install the macOS you want. After installation, you should be fine. One important note: it’s wise to let the OpenCore Legacy Patcher team fully resolve any issues before proceeding with upgrades. From my experience, you’re not missing much from the latest update, like Sonoma, apart from some widgets, which are not essential. Your computer is your responsibility, so make informed decisions about your upgrades. Hope that helps!
i upgraded to Sequoia, it was laggy on my 2012 man mini, so i followed this and downgraded to Ventura, not all the steps were as prescribed, but erasing the hard drive before installing certainly made a difference. So far, its snappy and behaving like it's got a new l;ease of life! Thanks a bunch!
I am considering going back to Monterey. I have a M2 Max Studio and I have little issues plaguing me on Sanoma, from file transfers to slow apps. Ventura wasn't better. I love all the new qol updates, but I hate the new settings menus and Mission Control is real glitchy some times. Thanks for the great explanation!
Thank you! I've gotten pretty used to the settings menu at this point although it was a bit frustrating at first. I feel like that Max Studio should run Sonoma pretty smoothly but might be worth a shot downgrading if you really don't like it. Good luck with the decision!

You also need to enable the permission to allow boot from external drive and change security to medium to allow any version of macOS. Key piece of info missing from this process that added extra steps for me.
This is a very helpful Channel. Thank you for all of your Help and you're excellent Explanation's. I upgraded my MacBook Pro from 2015 to Sequoia and now back to Monterey. It was so easy. Thank you very much.🙏🏻 Greetings from Germany, Markus
Glad you made this video also! Have to downgrade and hoping it will fix my issues. 😢 In case anyone else is experiencing the same: I have a 2013 MacBook Pro that I upgraded to Sonoma (with your video thank you!!) and lately I’m having issues with things crashing. Right click inside any Finder windows will close the program. Preview and all web browsers I’ve tried have all ended up doing the same thing. Even with multiple restarts and reinstalling Sonoma with a cleared out hard drive. 😢
I use Macs every day at work and provide support for other users. I have used every version of OSX/MacOS since Panther. I have a Mac as primary computer at work and I only do updates or upgrades on that machine if absolutely necessary, so it’s still on Big Sur and that runs just fine. I have a new MacBook Air that I use away from the office and that came with Sonama which was problematic as it is not fully supported by Dropbox which we use a lot at work. I upgraded Sonama to Sequoia as I wanted iPhone mirroring but it was only after upgrading that I found it does not work in the EU. I find that Big Sur is the best all round OS for just getting on with work and getting stuff done. I don’t experience any issues with lack of support for apps and the settings for things like printers is much better and easier in my opinion.
I bought a used Macbook Pro mid 15 and the keyboard is unresponsive as is the trackpad. I'm now guessing it's because they had upgraded it to Sonoma via Open Core. It was not running smoothly at all, constantly freezing for seconds at a time. I'm now looking into downgrading. Have you found a solution to the keyboard issue?
@e.v.i. Yeah, I did a clean reinstall (back to Monterrey) then everything worked fine, however, the special characters were a pain in the ***. No matter if you connect a wireless keyboard for some reason the delay made it pop up (like the special keys in mobiles) So I ended up in a forum and found out the terminal code to turn them off for good. If you're going to stick with the stock keyboard is not necessary to turn them off, but if you want to use a wireless keyboard you might want to have this trick on hand.

Thanks very much for this and the bootable drive how-to. Always heard of them, but I've avoided making one for years now - I worked around it by just using a regular HD external drive to boot from.

My m1 2020 macbook pro's touchbar has been flickering a ton in dim light, and won't stop. At points it gets really annoying. I am currently on macos sequoia 15.1 with apple intelligence, but now about to downgrade to big sur.

Hi Anson, Excellent tutorial video！ I am one of your subscribers, and I would like to ask you a question. In your tutorial videos, there is a glowing effect around the cursor. Could you share how you achieved that effect? I think it looks great; THANK YOU!
Hi, great video! I have a MacBook Air (2018, model 8,1) that’s running very slow on macOS Sonoma. I’m considering downgrading to the original Mojave. Do you think that’s a good idea, or would you recommend a different version? I’d appreciate your advice!
On intel device there is a security feature in recovery that, if it isn't turned off before wiping the drive, won't allow you to boot and install from USB drive. This should've been said too. I found about it the hard way on a 2019 MacBook Pro with i7.
I had thought about going back to Big Sur. Sonoma is nice, but without working bluetooth peripheral support, (Keyboards, Mice) and no Bluetooth wake from sleep, poor 3D graphics stability that causes finder to become unstable and crash, and some other general stability issues i've encountered, It feels functionally less useful than it was on the aging Big Sur OS. I think when Big sur finally stops running the software i need it for, i'm more likely to install Linux on my 2014 MBP, as I just today found out Mixxx now fully supports my DJ Controller (Traktor S4 Mk3) I was already one foot out the door with Native Instruments and considering my next hardware purchase to be a Standalone Mixer, but if the software support for Big Sur gets cut off before i get the opportunity, then I at least have a viable backup plan using Linux. PRAM reset didn't help.
@@sainturya I had to reinstall a older version of OS, Big Sur and it now has Wifi and everything seems to be working well. It took a lot of work, but it's worth it. (because this fool just trashed our computers with his fool advice while neglecting to mention that WIFI didnt work!)
@@MixerM8te could you tell me what’s the exact version that did work for you? cuz i’ve tried the same thing after numerous attempts with the same problem (i installed the 11.6.1 hoping that it wouldn’t have the same issue but it did). should i go with the first available release of the os?
downgraded from ventura to big sur but now wifi and bluetooth don’t work at all like the hardware isn’t detected or something like that. how can i fix this?
I'm so close! When deleting "Volumes" in Terminal to be replaced by the name of my new drive, it just says "An error occurred erasing the disk." What should I do??? You're the best! Thanks a million!!
I updated from Sonoma 14.6 to 14.6.1 and now I can’t get ANY WiFi. I’ve tried several different fixes but nothing is working. There aren’t ANY available networks and my Mac won’t even recognize my hotspot. I can’t downgrade cuz I have no internet. Any ideas?
out of curiosity, can this be used to downgrade Sequoia from 15.1 to 15.0? the download options seem to only cater for the latest of each major release... I have issues with my external display that (I think) started with my recent update to 15.1, and were not fixed with last week's 15.1.1 update.
To be fair, these days you actually need need an internet connection when installing/reinstalling just to verify MacOS install with Apple servers and download appropriate firmware updates... regardless which method you use. Intel or M1/M2 etc.. USB install vs local You can use access local recovery, and from Utilities menu choose "Startup Security Utility" and change to "Reduced Security". the. restart from chosen method. Also Mac Ventura and above you do not need Disk Utility... On the Apple menu from recovery "Erase This Mac" will all that.
HI ANSON! Any chance you could help me with this? I’m resetting my MacBook Air (going from Monterey to the factory-original Mojave) but in disk utility I now have a folder called “Update” in the ‘Internal’ section. Should I delete this?

I'm trying to do this with my late 2017 iMAC. After doing all the steps that u passed, it keeps showing that image of circle with a strip in the middle, saying the iMac cannot suport the macOS Monterey. What should I do?
I have ugraded my mac 2019 13.1 ventura to 13.6 ventura and my mac is not running correctly after 1 or 2 minutes it stuck and then retarts automatically and then I saw error and then it tries to restart again and when I tried to go to dist utility by pressing command +R it shows a glob and a bar but it is not showing disk utility and also even after doing that it is not fixing.
hi can you help me with my problem? My macbook pro was perfectly fine in Mac OS Mojave but it asked me to update to ventura. Im back to the black screen and went to apple and they said my hard disk got damaged due to the update. Cant I just reinstall my old Mojave back?
hey thanks for the great content. I have a bit of a an issue and i was wondering if you've you've seen this before. I installed the core patcher to update my ios on an imac 2015. it worked well for a while but after a month or so the performance wasn't great things where taking a while> I decided to do an update and having done the update using the core patcher and the update from system settings everything seems ok until I sign in. Once I sign in after about 30 seconded I get kicked out. I can sign in again but shortly after I get kicked out back to the login screen. At the moment I can't downgrade and I at a bit of a lost on what to do, have you ever seen this before? thanks for the help
Hi, I put ssd (internal) and hdd (external) in my mac. You said that we need to erase data on the main drive (in my case means my ssd data). Is it fine if I’m not erasing my hdd data?
Am i able to do this without it wiping my boot-camp partition? im downgrading my 2014 macbook pro from big sur to high sierra for 32 bit support and also to have iTunes back.
I updated to unsupported Sequoia on my 2016 MBP with TouchBar, it’s pretty fair but I’m completely unable to open Messages app or FaceTime. Can anybody help fix this without the need to downgrade??
I cleared my hard ice through disk utility and don’t have enough storage to reinstall BigSur as it says 90GB is taken by other storage but I can’t get rid of it, anyone know how?
I have a Mac running Ventura and am considering trying out Sonoma. If I make a time machine backup before I upgrade and decide to downgrade again, can’t I just follow this process to downgrade and then restore the time machine backup from the clean reinstall of Ventura?
this is exactly what i have done I backed up my Ventura to TimeMachine upgraded to Sonoma hated it tried to restore from TM but with no luck found this video reinstalled Ventura from USB stick and used Migration Assistant to restore my Ventura backup and everything looks perfect now
Can someone please help me, everything went smoothly but I cannot install apps store or third party it just gets stuck on the installer. Even when I go to privacy and click open anyway , it will not allow me to install any apps.
So I updated my wife's macbook 2013 to Mountain Lion... now I cant connect to the internet.. App store wont connnect nor anything on Safari. Happen to have a solution to fix this?
A faster way would be to switch to the OS previous from your actual latest update then go through apple and install the proper OS , self tried and successful

Mac pro 2016 i7 8th gen I updated and wifi not showing available network.... In diagnosis mode showing
I'm trying to do this with my late 2017 iMAC.
After doing all the steps that u passed, it keeps showing that image of circle with a strip in the middle, saying the iMac cannot suport the macOS Monterey.
What should I do?
I have ugraded my mac 2019 13.1 ventura to 13.6 ventura and my mac is not running correctly after 1 or 2 minutes it stuck and then retarts automatically and then I saw error and then it tries to restart again and when I tried to go to dist utility by pressing command +R it shows a glob and a bar but it is not showing disk utility and also even after doing that it is not fixing.
When I paste the command ---/volumes/(name of USB) I just receive " /volumes/(name of USB is a directory", what do I do from here?
I have succeeded in downloading BigSur to driv. When I go to Terminal it will not let me edit box and change last Volume to BigSur?
hi can you help me with my problem? My macbook pro was perfectly fine in Mac OS Mojave but it asked me to update to ventura. Im back to the black screen and went to apple and they said my hard disk got damaged due to the update. Cant I just reinstall my old Mojave back?
Why when I restart my Mac again It doesn’t show the new installer in the pen drive to open it with? I cannot do this part 🫠
Do u have a list of data to remember to secure before u erase the newer version of system. To besure there is no data los og importent thing?
hey thanks for the great content. I have a bit of a an issue and i was wondering if you've you've seen this before. I installed the core patcher to update my ios on an imac 2015. it worked well for a while but after a month or so the performance wasn't great things where taking a while> I decided to do an update and having done the update using the core patcher and the update from system settings everything seems ok until I sign in. Once I sign in after about 30 seconded I get kicked out. I can sign in again but shortly after I get kicked out back to the login screen. At the moment I can't downgrade and I at a bit of a lost on what to do, have you ever seen this before? thanks for the help

I have another idea to run 2 Mac’s at same time and then use migration to clone the max with the new os. But use a computer that has no real data

MacBook pro 2017 update me battery life 2 hour please help

i used the command diskutil and shows 15 disks is that normal?
I have a Mac running Ventura and am considering trying out Sonoma. If I make a time
machine backup before I upgrade and decide to downgrade again, can’t I just follow this process to downgrade and then restore the time machine backup from the clean reinstall of Ventura?
this is exactly what i have done
I backed up my Ventura to TimeMachine
upgraded to Sonoma
hated it
tried to restore from TM but with no luck
found this video
reinstalled Ventura from USB stick
and used Migration Assistant to restore my Ventura backup
and everything looks perfect now
@@bart5384 much appreciated mate, thank you.

Unfortunately, not to my knowledge.
Are you saying Big Sewer intentionally?
Isn’t it pronounced Big Sir?
Can someone please help me, everything went smoothly but I cannot install apps store or third party it just gets stuck on the installer. Even when I go to privacy and click open anyway , it will not allow me to install any apps.
I guess you have to disable mac security. Just search how to disable mac SIP
So I updated my wife's macbook 2013 to Mountain Lion... now I cant connect to the internet.. App store wont connnect nor anything on Safari. Happen to have a solution to fix this?
maybe buy a dongle that allows you to connect it to an ethernet port
Thanks a lot.....You're a genius
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
but what is the main hard drive? lol the one that says machintoss- data?? helpppp plz
Yes that’s it
Will this erase all of my data?
A faster way would be to switch to the OS previous from your actual latest update then go through apple and install the proper OS , self tried and successful
Thanks a lot!
Mini just stopped booting up
Can this completely erase the OCLP ?
Did for me, especially when I combined my volumes at the end of the video. I couldn't find any sign of OCLP.
@@AnsonAlexander when I did the same steps OCLP was gone but I don't know what is happening I'm using a MacBook pro 2015 but it still showing me to update to the latest version of Sonoma that is 14.4 🤷
