Quickbooks 2019 for Mac crashing after install

I have just installed Quickbooks desktop for Mac 2019, and the program opens and launches the welcome screen.  However when I try to open any file, including the sample, the program crashes.  I have reinstalled with same result.

Quickbooks 2019 for Mac crashing after install

I'm here to assist you in opening your newly installed QuickBooks, Lifeline.

 

QuickBooks might not be compatible with the system you are using that's why it crashes when we try opening it. We can uninstall QuickBooks again and then repair it before we reinstall. This way, we can refresh the installation process. 

 

Here's how to repair QuickBooks by removing both the PLIST files from the User and System folder: 

 

User PLIST

  1. From he Finder menu, hold down the Option key.
  2. Select Library
  3. Open the Preferences folder.
  4. Look for all the PLIST files that contains com.intuit.QuickBooks2019 . 
  5. Move them to Trash
  6. Empty your trash. 

System PLIST 

  1. Go to a new Finder window to open the Macintosh HD
  2. Form the Library, select the Preferences folder. 
  3. Still look for all PLIST files with the same file extension. 
  4. Move then to Trash and Empty it afterwards.

After removing the PLIST files, let's restart your device and then reinstall QuickBooks

 

Feel free to get back to me if you need help with running your company.
