QuickBooks Online for Mac app crashes

Hello there, soundsessential

I know how vital for your company to use QuickBooks Online (QBO) Mac app smoothly. I'm here to help ensure the troubleshooting is a breeze for you.

We'll have to uninstall and reinstall the QBO Mac app to start on a clean slate. Here's how to remove the program:

1. Close the QuickBooks Mac App.
2. Click the QuickBooks drop-down menu and select Quit QuickBooks.
3. Choose any blank space on the desktop.
4. Head to the Go menu and select Go to folder.
5. Enter ~/Libray/Application Support/QuickBooks into the Go to folder field.
6. This action will direct you into the current user's Library fold.
7. Highlight the QuickBooks folders and right-click to select Delete or drag and drop the folder to the trash. 

Next, reinstall QBO on your computer. If you're unable to lodge the program, I recommend contacting our QBO Care Team to assist you further. Follow the steps below to obtain the support details:

That fixed it but getting to a download of the app required a lengthy support chat. The instructions above are not quite accurate and links lead to Windows instructions. But deleting the library files and reinstalling the app has fixed the crashing.

I don't have a Quickbooks folder in the Library/Application Support.

Now what?

So my app continue to crash upon trying to load it.  Once in a blue moon it actually works.  I went to Library/Application Support, but there is no Quickbooks folder.  Now what do I do?

This continues to happen to me when they issue new updates.

Earlier this week it kept crashing and I finally found that if I log into QBO in a browser and then go to the Settings cog icon in the upper right, there's a "Get the desktop app" link in the first column.

Try downloading that and just deleting the existing app, replacing with the one downloaded.

I've also found a bit of a reliable workaround.  The app opens for a few seconds, at which point I reset the app data under the help menu.
