MacMini 2018 - Have been running Monterey with no issues at all. Updated to Ventura and now:
* Can't start in Safe mode or Recovery mode
* When Mirroring to my tv, Advertising and streaming sites such as Twitch & Kayo still work fine. However if I try to mirror a common free-to-air tv channel (Australia), which I've been doing for the last few years with no issues, now it will show me the ads and sometimes the opening frame but even then, if I switch to 'Full Screen', the mac screen goes black and the tv screen all white.
* Photos will no longer import from my iPhone 8
* Some menu items just don't work (Sorry, can't remember which because the major problems took my attention)
In all, Ventura is currently a disaster for me. I want to return to Monterey but can't figure out how to do it. - I've looked at a number of YouTube supposed solutions but none of them have worked. I've tried the MacWorld advice on making a bootable USB but that doesn't work. I've tried recovery from the Internet but that sends me to the AppleStore for Mac Monterey and when I try to download it the Mac gives me a dialogue to tell me I can't because I'm using a newer OS.
I am stuck. I have no idea what to do. I've been using Apple since the Apple II and macs since introduction and have never met such a cock-up before. I'm over it.
If anyone can help advise me I really would appreciate it.
