Cannot Connect to App Store in MacBook Pro

I'm here to ensure that you're able to install your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, TonyaLaB.

 

First, let's check the minimum system requirements for your Mac version to make sure QuickBooks can be installed. Then, prepare your product and license number to start installing your QuickBooks Dekstop Pro. 

 

After that, you can follow these steps on how to install QuickBooks Desktop:

  1. Download your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac version or use the CD installer. If you’re trying to download the installer and are having trouble, you may need to clear the browser’s cache use a different browser.
  2. Close all running applications.
  3. Double-click the downloaded installer or insert the disc into the Mac CD drive. The QuickBooks installation window opens automatically.
  4. Drag the QuickBooks icon to the Applications folder. The Applications folder opens automatically.
  5. Double-click the QuickBooks icon to open the application.

For more details in installing QuickBooks, you can refer to this article: Install and set up QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.
