Migrating data from Quickbooks for Mac to Quickbooks Online

I'm trying to export data from a free trial of Quickbooks for Mac 2019, after upgrading from Quickbooks for Mac 2016. I have tried several times, following the directions given by Quickbooks. It says my data is ready, then has me sign into our online account. Then it has me confirm my email. Then it opens up a spinning circle that keeps spinning. I have left it as long as an hour with nothing happening, and our file is not very large.

 

Can anyone help?

Migrating data from Quickbooks for Mac to Quickbooks Online

Thank you for sharing a screenshot and providing detailed information on your issue, @BethLove. But don't worry, I'm here to help make sure you can move your data from QuickBooks Desktop for Mac to QuickBooks Online so you can get back to business.

 

Since the email confirmation window just keeps spinning and you haven't received any error message, it's possible that your QuickBooks data is damaged. To get this resolved, let's run the Verify and Rebuild Utility tools to fix program-related issues in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the QuickBooks File menu, select Utilities, then choose Verify Data.
  2. Select OK when you see the message QuickBooks detected no problem with your data. You may continue using your company file.
  3. If Verify finds an issue with your data, you will be prompted to Rebuild Now or View Errors
  4. Click Rebuild Now.

 

After the steps, you can now start the export process again.

 

If you get the same result, I highly recommend reaching out to our QuickBooks Support Team. This way, they can further check on this matter and provide other troubleshooting steps to get this fixed. 

 

Once you've successfully moved your data, you may notice differences in how your books appear. You can check out this article to learn what data will be imported to QuickBooks Online: Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

Please let me know how it goes in the comment section below, @BethLove. I'm only a post away if you have any follow-up questions.

Hi @BethLove ,

Where did you acquire the QB for Mac Desktop 2019 free trial?

I'd like to get/have/use that, too.

Thanks!
