how do i uninstall ventura 13.7.4 - reinstall ventura 13.7.4 on my imac?

thanks for replying, PRP_53 (i was the driver - and now caregiver for an early morning surgery).

i have the intel imac, and os ventura, 13.7.4 - wasn't aware that the application info i supplied wasn't as definite as it seemed.

this is my second request for assistance, my 2/16 went unnoticed. last night i searched online to see how i could do the uninstall - reinstall, but the "command + R" after activating 'restart' would not work (for me); the computer continued with the restart.

any advice or technique(s) would be most appreciated!

thanks in advance

mike

the good news is that i now know how to get into recovery mode.

but i still got the error notice when the wall paper finally activated took 4 minutes, 3seconds - i timed it).

i tried twice and it hasn't corrected the issue.

is there anything else you could recommend, keeping in mind my level of experience: 3.1 on a scale of 10.

PRP_53,

the instructions on the link you sent is temporary. it did react to the adding of folders or files. it accepted a current folder that used to be in my wallpaper's library - then the other folders (i have added over time) popped back into view.

but this only lasted for about 6 days. it has gone back to the error message and once again will not accept any folder i try to add.

i am kinda back where i started with this. i was hoping this was a system-wide problem that the software writers could correct via an update, but there are not enough squeaky wheels to be heard. let me know what we can do next.

btw - this is what i sent to the survey that asked me if your solution helped - i said no, because:

"...this answer/reply is just the standard way of adding folders and files, aka photographs.

i keep getting the error message "...Settings Error The operation couldn't be completed. com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomainerror15.)..."

PRP_53 was helpful+!..."

thanks again again

hey PRP_53 - i am going to do this now (shut down, et. al.)

thanks, no problem with that PRP_53; take the time you need - i got plenty of stuff to attend to, and at least my screensaver still functions.

yes - and i will use the link to see what steps are involved - thanks...i did scroll the entire contents, but i have to call this day done. i will get to it later this morning (it is sunday)
