In case it helps anyone, while downgrading from Monterey to Catalina, I kept getting an error in my terminal when trying to erase / make my USB a bootable. I followed some advice online and formatted it instead as ExFAT instead of MacOS Extended and it worked! Something to consider trying in case you're running into the same issue.

Hey, so I was stuck in the same boat that the erase button wouldn’t work… i would click the erase button and nothing would happen. Follow everything he says on the video up until the erase part (if the erase part doesn’t work for you obviously).. I shut the MacBook down.. then powered it on.. press Command and R until it boots you to “Monterey Recovery”. Once in “Monterey Recovery” it’ll look similar to those erase instructions (recovery mode Faraz is showing) except you won’t be able to “show all devices”. Erase your internal disk.. give it a name and choose APFS and erase. It should work… once you’re done erasing exit this recovery mode. Turn off your Mac. Turn it back on and continue with Fazal’s instructions… (right when he said turn it on and hold the option key) … obviously there won’t be nothing to erase since you just did it in Monterey recovery. Continue with installing the MacOS you want. Hope this helps. Sorry if it’s extra wordy…and sorry if it doesn’t work for you like it worked for me. Good luck!

It had Monterey loaded on it and the Time Machine restore wouldn't work with that OS on it. I didn't figure that out completely for a long time. So I realized I needed to load Mojave on the new used computer and I followed your fine instructions. After that, I restored (Command R) (NOT transfer data but restored) from my Time Machine backup. This last step is not in this video (in case you have a similar problem). 🙂

Nice mate. I’ve just bought an old refurbished MacBook Air running Monterey to replace my 2008 (yes… two thousand and EIGHT) iMac running El Capitan. After migrating my apps and user data it’s a catastrophe. Have already spent hours trying to get stuff running. Safe mode usually ok but as soon as I go normal… So I guess it’s just way too big of a leap. Prolly woulda eventually figured out (via Apple) how to downgrade but you’ve summed it up nicely 👍 Never had to downgrade an OS in 25 years of Apple/Win use (solving the issues was always the cleanest an quickest way forward ) but I guess there’s a first for everything 😂

2012 mac mini here, that I'm proud to still have as it means I do NOT support Apple. Catalina was murder on this poor little fellow, despite SSD drive and 16gb ram. had to downgrade to high sierra, Sierra was impossible. Now this ol girl is working again ! TEN MORE YEARS !!!

When I click on the operating system links, the "GET" button has been replaced by "OPEN". I've never downloaded the Operating Systems and have no way to get them. Will someone please help me to get around that issue? Thanks

Faraz I have a 2019 Mac Pro and I was wondering if I upgrade the boot drive to Monterey (or other newer MacOS) will it always let you downgrade? I have heard that once the firmware is upgraded to a certain point you may not be able to downgrade. Do you know if this is true? Thanks, great video !

Can I do this without formatting my SSD? Just want to install Mojave over Big Sur and keep my files. Which step should I take? Thanks.

You can do that but you need make partition on your drive, as you cannot overwrite in the same drive. Formatting was do the clean installation on your system..

Hi... The instructions are great. However I hit the wall. I cannot erase my internal Apple HDD on iMac, I pressed the erase button but didn't bring me anywhere. Any suggestions please?

Hey, so I was stuck in the same boat that the erase button wouldn’t work… Follow everything he says on the video up until the erase part (if the erase part doesn’t work for you obviously).. I shut the MacBook down.. then powered it on.. press Command and R until it boots you to “Monterey Recovery”. Once in “Monterey Recovery” it’ll look similar to those erase instructions (recovery mode Faraz is showing) except you won’t be able to “show all devices”. Erase your internal disk.. give it a name and choose APFS and erase. It should work… once you’re done erasing exit this recovery mode. Turn off your Mac. Turn it back on and continue with Fazal’s instructions… (right when he said turn it on and hold the option key) … obviously there won’t be nothing to erase since you just did it in Monterey recovery. Continue with installing the MacOS you want. Hope this helps. Sorry if it’s extra wordy…and sorry if it doesn’t work for you like it worked for me. Good luck!
