Hi @mandypanad,

 

I'll share some steps you can take to resolve this issue where you're unable to open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest version.
  2. Ensure the extension of the file you want to open is QBW.

See this article to proceed with the troubleshooting: What to do if you can't open your company file in QuickBooks Desktop. Scroll down to the Step 3: Figure out what's causing the issue section to continue.

 

I suggest you see this article: Fix locked file errors in QuickBooks Desktop. It's a list of steps you can take if your company file is locked.

 

Post a reply if you need further assistance, and I'll be sure to get back to you.

I'm trying to verify data and it's detecting an error. I tried to rebuild the data and reverify the data and still says it's corrupted. I'm trying to export my data to windows platform after the data is corrected.

Thanks for joining in this thread, @c3087. I can help you fix the errors.

 

When there are corrupted data, we can recover all or nearly all of your data with the use of QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery (ADR) tool. Please note that the process can take some time. 

 

ADR can help you recover your lost file by:

  • restoring lost transactions using your current Transaction Log file and a copy of your Company file.
  • restoring all but the last few hours of transactions with a copy of both your Company file and your Transaction Log file.

 

Here's an article with more detailed steps on recovering lost data: Recover lost data with QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery

 

For future reference, read through this article: Export, import, and edit IIF files. It'll help you learn about moving data to and from QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

Looking forward to helping you again if you need further assistance. Take care.

Contact Support and ask for Intuit Data Service to check your file. You may also ask a 3rd party file repair service to fix it.

When requesting support, I realized that I should have requested the support for QB Mac.  Are the procedures the same?

When I am working in my program I often get a lockup where the whole program seizes and rather than the normal cursor a whirling ball of kind of rainbow colors takes over. I can do nothing but do a hard restart to get it away. I asked for help some months ago and a tech told me to to to rebuild data and then verify data. I’ve tried that numerous times but I keep getting the same issues b

please help me. Thanks

Thanks for posting in the Community space, @Alyhuz.

 

I appreciate you performing the steps shared by our Tech Team. Since you already tried the steps and still having the same issue. Let's repair your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Repairing QuickBooks can help fix common errors you encounter while using, updating, or installing QBDT. 

 

Here's how to run the repair tool:

 

  1. First, back up your company file.
  2. Restart your computer.
  3. Click the Windows icon and type in Control Panel.
  4. Choose Programs and Features then Uninstall a Program.
  5. Select QuickBooks and click Uninstall/Change.
  6. Click Continue, or Next.
  7. Select Repair and Next.
  8. Hit Finish.

 

Once done, make sure that you have the most recent fixes and security updates. You'll need to update your QuickBooks to the latest release. If you got an error while repairing your QBDT, please refer to this article: Repair QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

 

Also, QuickBooks' performance decreases as the size of the company file increases. However, there are no actual limits on the size of your company data file, but performance may be hindered if your network is not capable of handling large data files.

 

Moreover, to give you tips on the system requirements that work best with QuickBooks Desktop, I suggest checking out this reference: Find out what your computer needs to run the best QuickBooks Desktop experience.

 

Keep me posted if you have any other questions. I'll make sure to get back to you. Take good care!

You may contact Support and ask for Intuit Data Service to check your file (and fix it if required). Otherwise you have to pay a 3rd party file repair service.

I got you covered today, sterry89.

 

Once you upgrade your version of QuickBooks, you'll want to go to the Downloads & Updates page to get the download link for your version of QuickBooks. To download the installation file, you can follow the steps below:

  1. From the Downloads & Updates page, select your country, product, and version.
    If you don't know what version you use, see Not sure what version you use?
  2. Select Download.

Then, you can install QuickBooks on your computer. In addition, if you’re upgrading to a newer version (year) of QuickBooks Desktop, you’ll also need to upgrade your company files so you can keep using them. You only have to upgrade a company file once.

 

For more information about the upgrading process, please read these articles:

You might also want to visit these articles so you'll be guided on how to get started with the program.

 

If you have other concerns about upgrading QuickBooks Desktop, I'm just around to help. Take care always.
