Cara, No I cannot boot into either instance of Ventura. Some background. A month ago the screen on my 2020 MBP broke while I was booting from Sonoma to Ventura. After repairs the Sonoma volume was fine. But I had to delete Ventura and install a new copy. I set it Up just fine.
This id where things went sour. I could could restart in Sonoma but not Ventura no matter what I did. Subsequently I created yet another Ventura, did the setting up, it went well. Until I booted to Sonoma then tried two boot into either copy of Ventura. When I reboot while holding the option key, both Venturas will say “this version needs to be installed" From E.T.'s Keyboard... Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. -Carl Sagan My e-Mail: [email protected] > On May 3, 2024, at 9:44 AM, Cara Quinn <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sorry to hear that. > > Can you boot into the Ventura volumes from recovery mode?
