migrate all files from QBO back to QBD all migrated except files of what I had put in while I was QBO

I had been on QBDesktop for 20 years and thought I'd like to give QBOnline a try but didn't like the structure of it at all, so I called Quickbook associates to help me get back over to QBDesktop, well after numerous attempts they didn't have a clue. I was recemented to a company called Four/way/QuickBooks Inc. they wanted to charge me 4 thousand dollars to get me started plus charged me amounts of money to attend meetings and if you missed a meeting on the phone, they would charge 50% of the cost If I couldn't attend. I'm not making this stuff up it's the truth! I decided to just try myself and see if I could do I, so I looked at videos and printed off materials to follow step by step, I DID IT IT WORKED! I'm 74 years old and half nuts now, and I did it, except it was one thing that didn't migrate, it was all the work I did in each of my companies in QBOnline for two months and it was a lot of work! My question is how I get them over without not paying them thousands of dollars to migrate? I hope someone can help me I would appreciate it so much. Thanks

Thanks for following up on this thread, mfd11comcastnet.

 

I'm happy to provide some additional info about migrating from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

While there are many similarities between the two QuickBooks platforms, there are also many differences. These differences cause certain data to convert differently or not migrate at all. The work you entered in QBO may not be able to convert to the Desktop system.

 

The following article provides additional info about how features and data move from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please review the details from the article to see how the data moves between platforms, and see whether or not the work you entered is able to migrate. If you need a hand with anything else, please drop a comment below.

migrate all files from QBO back to QBD all migrated except files of what I had put in while I was QBO

Hello there, Mfd11. I'd be glad to walk you through the process of migrating your company files from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Before we proceed, can you please share details about this one thing that didn't migrate back to your desktop program? This information will assist us in finding the right solution.

 

When transitioning from QBO to QBDT, we can transfer specific data using the migration tool, which is cost-effective. To get started, download the migration tool and the desktop program. Keep the desktop program open while transferring your files. Follow these steps to proceed:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account and go to the Export Overview page.
  2. Select Get Started and choose Download tool (keep this page open on your browser).
  3. Install the migration tool, then select Next.
  4. Read and accept the terms in the license agreement, then click Next.
  5. Hit Install, then select Finish.

 

Once completed, we can proceed with exporting your data:

 

  1. In the Prepare to export page, hit Continue.
  2. Select the QuickBooks Online data you want to export, then select Continue (Choose All financial data or All financial data without transactions).
  3. In the Request your data page, click Continue.
  4. Fill in the Name and Email address fields, then select Continue.
  5. Select Close (Email confirmation may take time, depending on the data to migrate. Check your QuickBooks Online home page for updates).
  6. Next, go to the Export Overview page.
  7. In the Prepare to export page, follow the instructions for online migration. Then, select Continue.
  8. In the Exporting from QuickBooks Online page, select Continue to Download.
  9. Then, click Download QBXML file.
  10. Save the file to your desktop program, then press Continue.

 

By following these steps, we can migrate your data without incurring high costs. You can find detailed instructions in Step 3 of the article Move data from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop. After that, proceed to Step 4 to confirm if the exported data matches.

 

You may check out this article for additional information on moving from QBO to QBDT: Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have further questions about the migration process from QuickBooks Online to the Desktop, please feel free to reach out. I will be checking this thread from time to time. Have a productive day!

I think people are confused with my migrating, when I exported from QBOnline to QBDesktop, I got all my files back except for the work I put in online during the 2 months I was using that software, then I realized "I don't like this program and decide to export, but once again the work I did was a lot on both of my companies and I didn't get that work! Why didn't this work I did on QBOnline go over to my Desktop? When I tried again, I just put dates to cover what I did and tried to migrate but no such luck! Thanks, Warren

@mfd11comcastnet 

Consider to purchase a 3rd party conversion service. You can ask for the refund if they can't help you.
