I have Quickbooks Mac2012 and upgraded my Mac in January that runs Monterey. I tried to install the quickbooks using the CD and I received a message that says Mac2012 won't run on this version of Mac. What can I do?

I can help you with what you need to do with your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2012, @CakeMaker60. Thus, you can install the software seamlessly.

I'll have a way to correct the issue you've encountered in installing the QBDT for Mac 2012.

QBDT for Mac 2012 is already outdated. That's why you can no longer run on your Mac with the Monterey version. With this, I'd recommend updating your account to the latest release. Before that, ensure that your computer meets the systems requirements. 

Once confirmed, follow the steps below: 

1. Go to the QuickBooks Download page. 
2. Select your Country, Product, and Version in the drop-down arrow. 
3. Click Search, then Download. 

After that, open QuickBooks and follow the on-screen instructions to install the program. Ensure to create a backup of your company file for future use. 

To get Product and License numbers, I'd advise contacting our Customer Care Team. Make sure to contact them within business hours to ensure a swift response.

You need to have QBD 2019-2022 to run on Monterey. You can still purchase the one time license for QBD 2019-2021 to upgrade your version from some partners if required. Install the trial version of it to make sure it works on your machine.

when you say partners to buy one time license who exactly are they? I'm in Hawaii and things are hard to find here

I am about to purchase Desktop MAC Plus BUT I can't find if the 2022 software supports the M1 processor.

Can someone tell me if they are running the software MAC Plus on Monterey with the M1 chip PLEASE

Thank you for joining the thread, @PhantomGirl.

QuickBooks Desktop for Mac Plus 2022 can work with the M1 chip. Please know that the M1 chip is currently working on the 2022 version only. But our product engineers are already working on including it in the other versions.

Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you succeed with QuickBooks. I've got your back, @PhantomGirl.

Mark_R - I'm using a Mac with an M1 chip running Quickbooks 2019 for Mac, version v18.0.14 R15, Build 3478. Are you sure that QuickBooks Desktop for Mac Plus 2022 doesn't support the M1 chip? Why would a 2019 version of QB support M1 Macs while a 2022 version doesn't?

@ChriSeattle.

I'd like to let you know that we've updated the answer posted above.

As always, you can post here again if you have any additional QuickBooks-related queries. I'll keep an eye for your response. Keep safe and have a good one!

I am on Quickbooks 2019 and I have been able to get the software to work in macOS 12.3.1.  If have the computer that it will run on like macOS 10.15.7 Catalina you can update that version on that machine.   Copy out the quickbooks 2019.app in the Applications folders.   Once you have macOS Monterey running just copy over the file into the applicaitons folder.    You will have to register the application online.   I don't know after May 2022 that it will work to register it.  

I don't mind paying a reasonable fee $100 a year or something to keep current but $350 is just too much.   I'll keep an old computer around just to run Quickbooks until I can find something that will work.

I would like to upgrade to Monterey, but am finding conflicting information.  I'm using QBDT 2020 for Mac.  According to QB website R14 is available, however, when I check for updates on my Mac I get a message that I'm up to date: 

QuickBooks 19.0.11.988 R12.1 is currently the newest version available.  Is 14 available?  How/where do I get it? Thanks

QB 2016 will not open with os monterey 12.0.1. How can I upgrade and save file if it will not open. 

@larsofbatavia 

QBD 2016 for Mac doesn't support Monterey. Utilize the trial version for QBD 2019, 2020 and 2021 for Mac to upgrade your version for the time being. You can decide later whether to purchase a one-time license for QBD 2020 or wait for the upcoming release of QBD 2023.

HELP!  I did an update to the Mac Monterey version 12.5 and Quickbooks 2019 will not open.  

@michellecof 

Afaik Monterey 12.5 was released in July when QBD 2019 has outdated. Consider buying QBD 2022 immediately to upgrade your files for $275 or less. Otherwise you will buy QBD 2023 at a higher rate next month (i.e. $550)

I can help you with opening your company file, @michellecof.

QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2019 R13 and later versions work well with macOS 12 Monterey. To open the company file successfully, update your QuickBooks for Mac to the latest release.

1. Go to the QuickBooks dropdown and select Check for QuickBooks Updates.
2. If a newer version is available, select Install Update.
3. When prompted, select Install and Relaunch.
4. Once done, QuickBooks for Mac automatically opens.

If you'd like to update it manually by uninstalling QuickBooks for Mac and reinstalling the latest version, check out this article: Update QuickBooks for Mac to the latest release. That'll guide you on how to restore your company file right after.
