switching operating systems and upgrading to 2022

I’ll help you with the process of moving data from your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2019 to QuickBooks Desktop 2022, @Hannah S.

Let’s start with reviewing if you meet the minimum system requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2022. This way, we can make sure it’s compatible to run on your computer.

To get your data, you can update your QuickBooks for Mac to the latest release. Next, let’s eliminate the special characters from any memos.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, then click Custom Transaction Detail Report.
2. Select All Dates from the Dates drop-down menu.
3. Double click a transaction with a memo.
4. Select Save after deleting the special characters from the memo section.
5. Close the transaction.
6. Repeat the process for each transaction.
7. Re-sort your lists.
8. Verify and rebuild your company file by selecting Utilities from the File menu. Then, choose Verify Data.
