Currently, it is in developer beta. This means it is not stable and has more bugs than stable release. My Mac is running smoothly with the stock Monterey but things start to get worse after upgrading to Ventura Beta.<\/p>\n<p>The most annoying thing is that some of my frequently used apps crash or don&#8217;t work normally, including Parallels Desktop, Bitdefender. So I made up my mind and decided to downgrade from Ventura to Monterey.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apps_Not_Working_on_Ventura\"><\/span>Apps Not Working on Ventura<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Below is a list of Mac apps that don&#8217;t fully work on macOS Ventura. If you are a heavy user of those apps, we highly recommend going back to Monterey and revert back to Ventura when the bugs are fixed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Partially_Working_Apps_in_Ventura\"><\/span>Partially Working Apps in Ventura<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bitdefender<\/li>\n<li>Crossover<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft OneDrive<\/li>\n<li>Parallels Desktop 17<\/li>\n<li>Oracle Virtualbox<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft Excel 16<\/li>\n<li>iTerm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fully_Broken_Apps_in_Ventura\"><\/span>Fully Broken Apps in Ventura<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Dropbox<\/li>\n<li>Malwarebytes Anti-virus<\/li>\n<li>Onyx<\/li>\n<li>Adobe Photoshop<\/li>\n<li>Cyberghost<\/li>\n<li>NordVPN<\/li>\n<li>VLC Media Player<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will update the above list from time to time when the potential bugs are solved.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backup_Your_Mac_before_Downgrade\"><\/span>Backup Your Mac before Downgrade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OS downgrade is a dangerous task you should be very careful. So the first thing we need to do to backup important data on your Mac. You can do this with the stock Time Machine app or third-party app like Carbon Copy Cloner, which offers more flexible options and much faster than Time Machine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backup_Your_Mac_with_Time_Machine\"><\/span>Backup Your Mac with Time Machine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Backing up your Mac with Time Machine is simple and straightforward.

It is a very powerful backup utility for Mac. It can create a bootable backup of current macOS system, which can be used to restore your system in case of a failure. Carbon Copy Cloner can also be used to clone your hard drive to another drive.<\/p>\n<p>Carbon Copy Cloner is a great choice for backing up your Mac. It is very easy to use and has a lot of features that make it a great choice for backing up your Mac.<\/p>\n<p>1. Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner.<\/p>\n<p>2. Connect the hard drive that you want to use for your clone. This can be an external hard drive or a USB flash drive.<\/p>\n<p>3. Launch Carbon Copy Cloner and select the source and destination for your clone. The source should be your Mac&#8217;s hard drive and the destination should be the hard drive or USB flash drive that you connected in step 2.<\/p>\n<p>4.
