Is QuickBooks down this afternoon, or is it just me?

Hey there, Whereismycoffee. 

 

There hasn't been a reported outage. So more than likely there's something happening on your end. Let's try some troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve the issue. Follow along below:

 

Step 1: Clear your browser’s cache

Your browser’s cache saves files on your computer to load websites faster on your next visit. But overtime, it also gets full with outdated files that may cause small issues.

It’s a good idea to clear cache from time to time. Follow the linked steps for your browser:

Note: Be sure to uncheck Cookies and other site data so you won’t get signed out of websites, including QuickBooks Online.

After clearing cache, make sure to restart your browser.

Step 2: Clear Intuit-specific cookies from your browser

Most of the time, you only need to clear your browser's cache. But if you keep having the same problem even after doing that, you can clear Intuit-specific cookies. This helps refresh website preferences that might be causing problems when you use QuickBooks.

Note: It’s important to only clear Intuit-specific cookies.

When you’re ready, follow the steps for your browser.

  6. Select Remove All.
