Access Bento Information to transfer from Mohave to Catalina now that Catalina is installed

2. Downgrade Using a Time Machine Backup

Using a Time Machine backup is another simple way to install an older version of macOS. This of course assumes that you created the backup on an older version of macOS.

To downgrade using a prior Time Machine backup:

Plug your Time Machine disk into your Mac and power it down or restart it.

During startup, hold Cmd + R to enter macOS Recovery.

When the macOS Utilities screen appears, select Restore From Time Machine Backup and click Continue.

On the next screen, click Continue again.

Select your Restore Source. In this case, that’s the backup drive you plugged in earlier.

On the following screen, select the backup you want to restore from. You’ll be able to see which version of macOS was used to create that backup.

Follow the prompts to complete the reinstallation, then restore your files from the backup you created.

Aha, just found this...

For very simple isolated forms, you can just export from Bento as a CSV.

I'm assuming you do not have a Mac running the older OS that can run Bento?

Well, what OSes do you have for it?

For my 21.5" 2011 iMac I have these...

10.6

10.7

10.8

10.9

10.10

10.11

1012

1013

I also need to access my bento list. I did not realize I wouldn’t be able to get them from Catalina. I don’t have another Mac, I have lots of iPads any ideas.

yes, it should be on the time machine

There has to be an easier way than this. Can you export Bento database into something else?

Do you have a Time Machine backup that you can restore the older OS from?
