How do I import data from mac 2010 desktop version to the 2019 online?

Hi @christine_ste17.

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

 

I'll be happy to explain how to import your data from Mac Desktop version to QuickBooks Online.

 

Please review this information before beginning this process:

  • You must be logged in as the Administrator in both your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac company file and your QuickBooks Online account.
  • You can only convert your QuickBooks Desktop data within the first 60 days of your QuickBooks Online company start date. When you convert, your Desktop file will replace your Online file and overwrite any existing information.
  • Do not convert your file if you've already turned on Payroll in QuickBooks Online.
  • Your QuickBooks file must be under 350,000 targets (file size does not matter). If you're over the target limit, you'll only be given the option to import your lists and/or balances.
  • Inventory can only be imported from QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. If you want to import your inventory, save your company file as a QuickBooks Desktop for Windows file, open it on a Windows computer, then import using the latest version of QuickBooks for Windows.

Once you have reviewed this, please follow the steps here.

 

Please keep me posted on your results with this here, the Community has you covered. Thanks again, I'll be standing by for your response.

How do I import data from mac 2010 desktop version to the 2019 online?

Hello - I have just started a free trial of Quickbooks online. I currently use Quickbooks for Mac 2010 and need to import that data to the online version. However, the 2010 Mac version does not allow me to do this. I have tried Transactionpro without success. Is there a simple way of getting this date to online version otherwise I will not be able to use the online version. Thanks

2 options:

1. Convert your file on the trial license of QBD Mac 2015 as the first step. Then convert it on the trial license of QBD Mac 2020 prior to migrating to QBO.

2. Purchase a 3rd party conversion service.

 

Another option, install the trial license of QBD Windows 2010 to convert your file of QBD Mac 2010. Then you may utilize TP to migrate the data.

Hey there, @Tops

 

To successfully move your data from QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2010 (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll need to update your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac to the latest release. Don't worry. It only takes a few easy steps. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Open QuickBooks. 
  2. Choose Check for QuickBooks Updates from the QuickBooks drop-down menu. 
  3. Press Install Update
  4. Hit Install and Relaunch when prompted. 
  5. After the update is complete, QuickBooks for Mac will automatically open. 

 

Afterward, you can start the process of moving your company data from QuickBooks Desktop for Mac to QuickBooks Online

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. The Community is always here to have your back.

Thanks. I am based in Ireland so can't purchase a trail version for Mac. Which 3rd party conversion service would you recommend?

Thanks. The 2010 version is so old that it doesn't allow me to upgrade to beyond Quickbooks 11, unfortunately.
