Glad you've reached out to us here in the Community. It's my pleasure to help you today.
To give you the right amount of information and solution to fix the error you have while working with QuickBooks, may I ask what specific area you're working in while getting the error?
In the meantime, you can try using the basic troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. First, open your account using a private browser, you may use the following shortcut keys:
Google Chrome, press CTRL+ Shift + N
Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL+ Shift + P
Internet Explorer: press CTRL+ Shift + P
Safari: press Command + Shift + N
If it works fine using the private browser, open your account using the original browser and clear the browser's cache. You may also try accessing your account using another supported browser.
The error 404 occurs when you're trying to reach a web page you're trying to reach but could not be found on the server. To fix this, let's run some basic troubleshooting steps to isolate this issue.
Let's begin by accessing QuickBooks Online in a private browser. Since this type of browser doesn't store cache, it's easier for us to identify if this is a browser issue.
Follow these keyboard shortcuts to start an incognito session:
Here's how:
Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: Command + Shift + N
Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
If it works, you may want to clear the browsing history of your regular web browser. This will remove previously stored browsing data that might have caused the issue. Otherwise, you can try using other supported browsers to be thorough.
Additionally, we have easy-to-access articles, webinars, and video tutorials that will help you in familiarizing the different tasks, features, and functions of QBO. Below are the following:
I am a student taking the QBO course and I am getting an error code when I try to log into the Payroll with the sample company. I have already tried logging in on a private browser and it did not fix the problem.
Thank you for joining the thread, @carter11_2. Let me help you with concern.
If you are using the Test drive account for QBO, there are limitations with regards to using the company file. However, we have QuickBooks Online for Students where you can also replicate the lessons that you learn in the course.
