    Downgrade to previous MacOS saving data

    I foolishly believed Apple that Ventura is nice, so I upgraded not making time machine backup prior to that. Little did I know... Can't believe now how bad it is compared to Monterey!

    Shared Photo Library Monterey

    Is there anyway to get shared photo Libraries working on Monterey? Have a 2015 5k iMac, works fine but open core messed it up. I'm going to restore to OS 12 and accessing photos is the only thing that bothers me about not running the latest os. Any work arounds would be great.

    To solve the problem of Big Sur USB Bluetooth issues (due to USB 1.1 compatibility), it's well documented that USB 1.1 peripherals need to plugged into a USB 2.0 Hub.
