Hello  @Bobby1432 ,

Thanks for reporting this crash.  And thanks for giving QuickBooks Mac a try on macOS Sonoma betas.

What version of QuickBooks Mac are you running when you encounter this?

I would like to get some more information from you about the crash, including any QuickBooks crash logs you have on your Sonoma system.  Please send me an email with your contact info to 'QuickBooksMacBeta' (at) "Intuit.com".   We are currently conducting external beta testing of a new version of QuickBooks Mac.  If you would also like to participate in external testing, please let me know.

Thanks for helping us improve QuickBooks Mac.

I'd love to participate.  I have sent the logs you requested.

I have sent the crash logs to the email requested. I'd be happy to participate in your beta testing process as well.

I can't even use QB for Mac. The program starts and I log in and then nothing. I actually had to downgrade the OS in order to get back to my companies.

I'd like to participate.

I had to downgrade Mac OS as well, qb does not even open, login screen and then nothing.

Hello there, @sb3421.

I appreciate you downgrading your MacOS to use QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Since it still doesn't work, let's clean install your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac so you can open and work with it. Let me guide you through the process.

Before doing so, you should have a backup copy of your company file so you can use it to restore when reinstalling the software.

Firstly, let's uninstall your QBDT for Mac. Before uninstalling, have your QuickBooks Desktop download file (or installation CD) and license numbers ready. Here's how:

1. Close your QBDT for Mac.
2. Go to the Finder menu, then select Applications.
3. Drag the QuickBooks icon to the Trash.

Then, remove the QuickBooks PLIST files. To do so, you can follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Finder menu.
2. Hold down the Option key, then select Library.
3. Open the Preferences folder.
4. Find PLIST files that contain com.intuit.QuickBooks20XX, then move them to the Trash.
5. Note: XX is the QuickBooks version you’re using.
6. Empty the trash.

Once done, restart your device and reinstall QBDT for Mac.

Come back to this post if you have other concerns or follow questions about this. I'll be around to provide further assistance.

Hi,

I did the clean install but still nothing after qb login screen.

this happened only after the Sonoma 14 install.

I did not roll back the update because it is not such a short process.  I am still in Sonoma.

I would rather fix this problem than downgrading OS.

I feel like it cannot launch the sidebar controls that float and gets stuck.

We're pleased to have you back here, @sb3421. We understand that downgrading your OS isn't a great deal for you since it will take a lot of time. 

We have here some additional insights about the concern that is helpful on your end. Since the SONOMA 14 OS is still in its BETA release, the QBDT Mac system doesn't support it yet. Which might cause the issue you're encountering in the system. 

With this, we recommend downgrading your OS to continue using QBDT Mac smoothly. We can refer to this article for the supported operating system for Mac: System requirements for QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022.

Moreover, we can read this article to learn more about QBDT Mac: QuickBooks Mac Plus User’s Guide.

Nice tip but it didn't work. After reinstalling, the program didn't respond; just the spinning wheel of death. I sent an email asking to participate in the beta program but have not heard back.

Hi, tlenzmeier.

I appreciate your participation in the SONOMA 14 OS that is still in beta release.

We receive a large volume of feedback and inquiries, so it may take some time for us to respond to each one. Rest assured, we received your email and may respond to it the soonest.

Also, feel free to browse this guide for more information on managing your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac: QuickBooks Mac Plus User’s Guide.

I'm always a post away if you have QuickBooks concerns.

I have asked to participate in the QB/Sonoma beta program. When can I expect a response?

Wondering the same thing! Another fine QB experience.

I can see what you've been through about dealing with Sonoma and we know how much time it can take when something isn't working the way you need it. 

As mentioned by my colleague above the SONOMA is still in beta release, which means not fully public release. Although we don't have a specific time frame as to when this will be mediated upon, rest assured, we're actively working to sort everything out. 

I suggest visiting our reference page, which contains updates to the new enhancements of all QuickBooks Products every month: QB Firm of the Future.

For additional QuickBooks-related concerns, don't hesitate to post them here in the Community. We're always available and willing to lend a hand to your queries. Have a great day ahead.

Sonoma will be released on September 26th. That's 10 days from now. When will QB be functional? You've had months to figure this out.

This is really bad, what do we do now? Turn off updates in Mac?

I'll share some updates and insights about the macOS Sonoma for QuickBooks Desktop Mac, @sb3421.

Yes, it's correct that Apple will release macOS Sonoma on September 26th. However, Intuit has not yet certified macOS Sonoma for company use. That said, please refrain from updating your machines and I recommend to keep checking the macOS standards site for our official timeline and announcement for the Intuit-wide release.

Should you have anything else to share or ask about the QuickBooks operating systems, please don't hesitate to leave a reply below. I'll jump to this thread to provide answers and additional assistance. 

Regardless of whether or not you've certified it is besides the point. A veritable raft of applications are already able to run flawlessly on Sonoma. The real question is why haven't you certified it? The fact you haven't and the fact that you said not to update means we have to suffer through on our existing OS while you try and figure it out. 

Once again, Intuit caught with their pants down and only making excuses.

wow and you think this is an ok answer?

intuit did not know it did not work from the beginning until we called and spent a day to roll back updates, intuit did not fix the problem up to this date. moreover we have to check a link that does not work to get updates on the issue.

I'd like to know WHEN this issue will be remedied by QB!
