Bento not working with El Capitan

[Joanne T]

I have used Bento 2 up until the point I had installed El Capitan. Then I found out that it was discontinued and tried the Bento 4, which did not work either (in El Capitan). So, I tried to install Snow Leopard (DVD) to maybe run Bento on it, but I did not manage to even install Snow Leopard. I really want to access my Bento database. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello and welcome.

You may run into compatibility options, since Bento hasn't been updated/supported and discontinued since 2013.

-Where did you try to install Snow Leopard?
-Do you have a spare external hard drive that you could install Snow Leopard on and run Bento there?

Thank you for your reply! I do have a spare ext. HD and will try that. Currently, I'm using my older Mac Pro and use that in Target Disk Mode hooked up to my iMac. So, I will use one of those 4 drives to install Snow Leopard and Bento on there. Thanks again!!
