If you’ve switched from QuickBooks for Windows to QuickBooks for Mac, you’ve probably noticed some differences. QuickBooks for Mac is built as a Mac product from the ground up, so the interface elements will be familiar if you’ve used other Mac applications. If you’re used to using keyboard shortcuts, they will be different on the Mac. Converting your file from Windows Want to switch from QuickBooks for Windows to QuickBooks for Mac? We’re glad you’re here. So you’re probably wondering if you can convert your QuickBooks for Windows company file into QuickBooks for Mac.
The answer is: Yes! You can convert any company file from U.S. Versions of QuickBooks Simple Start, Pro, Premier, and Premier Accountant Edition 2009, 2010, and 2011 for Windows. If you are using a QuickBooks for Windows version that is earlier than 2009, you can still open your file in QuickBooks for Mac. It’ll just be a couple of steps more. Before you start, be sure that you’re familiar with what data is converted from QuickBooks for Windows to QuickBooks for Mac.
Note: If you don’t have access to QuickBooks for Windows to convert your file, we can help you. In QuickBooks, open the Welcome window (Help Welcome to QuickBooks) and click Switching to QuickBooks. On your Windows computer: 1. In QuickBooks for Windows, open the company file you want to convert. Choose File Utilities Copy Company File for QuickBooks Mac.

Got a QuickBooks mess? Call the QuickBooks Gal today at 775-348-9225! Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about 'unapplying' credits in QuickBooks.
While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills).
So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the 'Apply Credits' button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear.
The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. Bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit.
You can then re-enter the credit. Welcome to another QuickBooks Gal Minute. I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooks Gal.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Do you know the difference between a QuickBooks Back up (.qbb), QuickBooks Portable file (.qbm), Accountant's Copy (.qbx) and a QuickBooks Company file (.qbw)? As a consultant & a bookkeeper, I am often asked what's the difference between these types of files. Many times a client will bring me their work along with what they think is a backup when, in fact, they have just copied the entire QuickBooks company file. Of course, I can't restore from that type of file, however I can drag & drop it into the proper directory on my computer in order to process their work.
However, if they had just brought a backup or portable file, then I could have restored and worked just as easily and they would not risk their company file by copying it.I am always afraid that I might accidentally delete it, so I stay away from that option! Here's a comparison of thes.
Qbmac2019(4x4) Yes, Mac lovers, that is what I said. Intuit has re-released ‘QuickBooks for Mac’ for 2019 with enhancements to boot. Even though the last updates to QuickBooks for Mac were back in 2016, and we didn’t even see a ‘2017 or 2018 version’ of the Mac product, you now have a new and improved version for 2019. This isn’t a ‘fool you with a box’ and only give you the Mac App for QuickBooks Online this is the real thing to run locally on your Mac computer under the Apple-Mac-OS. Speaking of the OS, the requirements for this version are at least Mac OS X v10.12 (Sierra), but also supported are Mac OS X v10.13 (High Sierra), and Mac OS X v10.14 (Mojave).
You will need a Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo (or higher) Processor, a minimum of 2GB of RAM available to the application (4GB is recommended), at least 250 MB of available disk space for the application, and a CD/DVD drive or Internet connection for installation. You must use a 100% Macintosh-compatible printer if you plan to print invoices, check, deposit slips, lists, purchase orders, mailing labels, reports or graphs. You will need Intuit (QuickBooks-for-Mac-formatted) checks if you plan to print checks. As you can see in the image below, when the QuickBooksMac2019.dmg file is downloaded it opens to allow you to simply copy the QuickBooks for Mac program into you Mac 'Applications' folder. It takes only moments to then activate the software, register your license and be set and ready to go with the QuickBooks for Mac you always loved, plus more. QBMac2019Install-and-GUI Now not being a QuickBooks for Mac (regular) user and not having anything but a 'sample file' provided with QuickBooks for Mac to play around with, there wasn't really any data supporting the new features. But I did my best to capture some meaningful images that will show you the variety of new and/or enhanced features in this 2019 version including:. Bank/Credit-card Reconcile Discrepancy Report which identifies changes made to reconciled transactions since the last reconciliation.
But note, this will only impact transactions created in this version, it won’t track transactions entered into older versions of the software. (Might be a reason to think about starting a new file when you transition to this newest version of QuickBooks for Mac.). QBMac2019iCloud-file-sharing Please note that this feature is not intended for multiple users to be working on the same file by syncing copies simultaneously while other users are still in the file. For more details about ‘file-sharing’ using iCloud, consult the official Apple website regarding iCloud Drive and file-sharing functionality. Passwords will now be required if your file contains any sensitive information. All such information including social security, tax identification, bank account, and other identifying information is now encrypted by QuickBooks. Complex passwords with a 90-day reset requirement will be required for access to such files for each user account. (Note: I was required to create a complex password (even in this sample file) the moment I started to open it initially.).

QBMac2019Report-options By the way, I do realize that this isn't the entire Balance Sheet (or even the entire first page). But you get the idea. Square Import feature allows users to incorporate their sales data from Square by means of a.csv file import. Since I don't have a Square account I didn't have a way to test this feature, but it seems pretty straight forward. When you click on the little 'Square' icon at the top of an import transaction window (like the one for Sales Receipts as shown below), you are presented with a dialog box from which to select the.csv file for import. Pretty straight forward stuff. QBMac2019Square-file-import To me this seems like the 'good old Mac' product that most QuickBooks for Mac users liked so well. It offers these, and perhaps a few more enhancements and improvements we were not made aware of. Without spending a lot more time with the product it would be hard for me to say what else users of the Mac version may find to their liking.
Undoubtedly, the thing the Mac users will find most appealing is that what they thought was an 'abandoned product' back in 2016, with notice that it would not be supported as of 2019, is now 'back' with a new version. So, from all of us here at Insightful Accountant, 'welcome back, Mac!'
