Quickbooks Desktop for Mac 2020 quit working

Before I upgrade to the newest version of QuickBooks Desktop For Mac and MacOS Sequoia, does anyone know if the 2020 Version V19.1.16 R17.3 will work properly with MacOS Sonoma 14.7.4?

 

I currently have my Quickbooks working fine with Sonoma 14.5 and don't want to jinx anything.

 

Thanks.

It's great that your QuickBooks works well with Sonoma 14.5, @DLA. However, please note that QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2020 is incompatible with MacOS Sonoma. Let me provide some further details for clarity below.

 

Only certain versions of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac are compatible with macOS Sonoma. Here are the supported versions for compatibility:

 

  • QuickBooks Mac Plus 2024 R1.1
  • QuickBooks Mac Plus 2023 R5.2
  • QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022 R10.2
  • QuickBooks Mac 2021 R13.3

 

Since QuickBooks Mac 2020 is no longer supported, it no longer receives critical security updates to protect your data. Continuing to use this version might lead to compatibility issues and, without access to live support, these problems could be more difficult to resolve. Thus, we recommend upgrading to a supported version of QuickBooks.

 

Additionally, please ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for QuickBooks Desktop to prevent any further issues. This will help in maintaining smooth operations and security for your data:

@Shania_C, I don't believe that information is 100% correct.  I'm currently using QuickBooks Desktop For Mac 2020 Version V19.1.16 R17.3 along with MacOS Sonoma 14.5 and they're both working seemingly fine with each other.

 

Is there any way to confirm, in fact, that it will continue to remain compatible with Sonoma 14.7.4?

@DanLA 

You may experience random minor issues when running QBD 2019 and 2020 on Sequoia. QBD 2021 is more stable at the moment. You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA and you might be lucky to get a license from them.

I'm currently running Sonoma 14.5 without any issues.

 

Will macOS Sonoma 14.7.5 work the same with my current version of QB Desktop for Mac 2020 V19.1.16 R17.3 ?

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) products will function well as long as they fulfill the system requirements needed to run the application, DanLA.

 

The operating system Sonoma 14.5 is compatible with QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2020, and its updated versions will also work. However, please note that using the latest iOS version may lead to unexpected issues if the software you are using is outdated.

 

Additionally, since Intuit has stopped selling QuickBooks Desktop software online, you cannot purchase it through official channels. It's advisable to buy QuickBooks Desktop products directly from Intuit. Purchasing from another vendor may lead to future complications, especially since the product is unavailable for new subscribers in the US.

Yes 14.5 is compatible with QBD for Mac 2020, because that's what I'm currently using.  What about iOS 14.7?

Install the trial version for 2023 or 2024. Did you encounter the same problem?

@Boiler83, give it a few more days or a week.  Mine was acting finicky until it just started working seemingly fine.  Maybe the Quickbooks software takes time to digest and interact with the new iOS, not sure.  But hopefully yours will work fine too soon.

Yes, I contacted @Fiat Lux - ASIA  a few times, but always seem to get the run around to purchase the online subscription version and not any clear answer where to find and purchase the desktop version.

It's very possible you're asking the wrong question. They won't mention anything related to QB Online as long as you insist on using QB Desktop.

Dear @Fiat Lux - ASIA, where can I buy the desktop version of QB for Mac 2024?  And I insist that I'm not interested in the online subscription version.

They won't answer your specific question here to avoid upsetting "them". LOL
