QuickBooks for Mac keeps quitting when I open a .QBO file from my desktop to import.

I am having the exact same problem.  I am fully updated, I rebuilt the file, etc....  So I've done plenty of trouble shooting and it is still crashing.  Very frustrating to say the least.  This time of year!  Following this thread for a solution!

What happens when you use the import option from the downloaded transactions window or the file menu?

Hi everyone,  

We can download the Diagnostic Tool to fix the crashing issue. 

Here's how:

1. Click on this link QuickBooks Install DiagnosticTool.
2. When prompted, save the file to the local Desktop.
3. Close any open programs and run the QBInstall Tool.
4. Restart the computer after running the tool to ensure the components are properly updated.

Once done, try importing again. 

If you have any further concerns, please let know. I'm here to help out.

Thank you for your help - unfortunately when I try to open the Diagnostic Tool file I receive an error message that I can't open it because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS.  Do you have a Mac version I can use please?

Thanks for your response.  The same action happens (QB automatically quitting) when I do either one of those.

Apparently this is not a quickbooks issue but I have just got off the phone with quickbooks support and it is an issue with the chase QBO files.

Chase is apparently working on it.   Lets see how long it takes them to fix.  Yes a bad time of year to have this issue

Is this fixed yet?

This is a link to an .exe file and this is a QB for Mac thread.  .exe files don't work on Macs.  Why is this thread marked as solved???  This continues to be an issue and its been a few weeks.    

Is this an issue with QB for Mac 2019 or just the 2016 version?  I running 2016 and still getting the crashes.  If this issue is resolved with the new version I guess I will consider the upgrade however there is no sense to pay more for something that doesn't give you more.

Anyone know if QB for Mac 2019 actually solves this problem?

Hello there, gwinnyd.

Thanks for joining this thread.

The issue with QuickBooks being unable to verify the Financial Institution information for this download or "OL-222" when attempting to import a webconnect file downloaded from Chase is reported to be ongoing issue. We are still working with Chase Bank to come up with a fix.

We will update this thread once we receive confirmation from our product engineers.

For now, you can visit this link to learn more about the latest updates on the investigation: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/community/Banking/ALERT-Error-QuickBooks-is-unable-to-verify-the-Finan....

Hi,

This worked for me two weeks ago after I uninstalled and re-installed Quickbooks, even ran the diagnostic tool. Now, it is not working. I am updated to the most current Mac Desktop Quickbooks. Even when I am in Downloaded Transactions and want to switch accounts I have QB crash on me. 

Hi symmarkgroup,

Thanks for joining the Community. I'm here to ensure you're able to navigate QuickBooks without any issues.

Let's start by running the Verify and Rebuild utility tool to resolve this issue. This tool can help identify and remove common data issues in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. Before doing so, please secure a backup copy of your company file.

Here's how to run the tool:

1. Go to File and select Utilities.
2. Choose Verify Data.
3. If a problem is detected, go back to Utilities.
4. Select Rebuild Data. 

As a reference, you can also check out this article for more troubleshooting steps: Resolve Crash Catcher displaying while using QuickBooks for Mac.

From there, you shouldn't have any further issues after following these steps.

Please keep me updated on how this goes. I want to make sure everything you're all set with this concern. 

I don't think is a Chase Only Issue since it's happening to me on Amex QBO

Definitely not limited to Chase.  Crashes EVERY time an Amex qbo import is completed & window closed.  Only portions of the import "stick".  I end up needing to do 2-3 imports to finally capture all transactions.  Started happening with qb2016, hoped it would be fixed for qb2019.  Nope.

Please Intuit - this must be rectified.  I don't relish the idea of searching out a bookkeeping alternative, but these hiccups & limitations that the Mac version continues to have as compared to Windows is crippling to my productivity.  And I'm not switching platforms across my business...

I've checked here and haven't received reports from other users concerning importing the data from the AMEX bank. If the problem persists after running the Verify and Rebuild Data, I recommend reaching out to our Support Specialists this time.

I have exactly the same problem with AMEX. Every time I try to import their qbo files from Quickbooks 2019 for Mac, it crashes.
