Quickbooks Mac 2019 Layout Designer App Crash

Hi Quickbooks Support Team,

 

 

Im currently  using Quickbooks Mac 2019 and my OS is Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54). I cannot edit my invoice template since Layout Designer can't be open. It crashes right away.

We are aware of this happening in QuickBooks Mac 2016 and 2019.  If it is happening to you in an older version please let me know here.

 

We hope to have an update very soon that will show up when you run QuickBooks->Check For Updates.

I am having the same problem in QuickBooks MAC 2016. Can not get the Layout Designer to open with the Edit or Create New Template drop down option.  Keeps saying it quit unexpectedly!

 

Thanks!

Good day, wicked lester,

 

Thanks for joining the discussion. Let me share an update about the unexpected behavior you're getting when launching the Layout Designer.

 

Our Support Team currently tagged this as an ongoing issue with QuickBooks Mac Desktop. They're already investigating the cause of the issue and are working to roll out a fix for this unexpected hitch. While they do, I'd recommend getting in touch with our QuickBooks Mac Support so you're added to our notification lists of affected users.

 

Here's how you can get them:

  1. Open this link: https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact.
  2. Choose QuickBooks Mac Desktop.
  3. Click on the Company File menu.
  4. Scroll-down and click either Get Phone Number.

That's it! You can have our representatives add you to the investigation number  INV-25004. Once done, you'll get live notifications when an update is available.

 

As a workaround, you can try @enetanswers resolution to install the latest update of the software. Also, when QuickBooks 2016 & 2019 server quits unexpectedly under a multi-user server, try the following steps below:

  1. Open QB Server 2016/2019
  2. Select the plus icon in the lower left corner and add company file/s needed for sharing.
  3. File/s should now show as added and shared under QB Server 2016/2019
  4. Open QuickBooks 2016/2019
  5. Open company file under “Shared Files”

Please let me know how it goes, wicked lester. I want to ensure everything's working good on your end. Have a good one!

I have more steps we can try, ModelCarsMag.

 

Let's open QuickBooks in Safe Boot.

 

Here's how:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Press the Power button, then press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard until you see your Desktop.
  3. Open QuickBooks and try printing a statement.
  4. To return to normal startup, reboot the computer without pressing any keys.

You can also try holding down the option key when pressing the Print button.
