Is there a way to import a .dmg or .qb2014 file into Quickbooks online?

I recently lost all data on my old desktop and had to buy a new one. With that came a new OS. I'm not able to use my QB2014 desktop software with this new OS. I'm hoping to use QB online, but it seems that the only way to import my data is thru CSV files. I don't have a way to open my QB2014 data to generate these files. Is there another way to import? It sounds like QB 2016 desktop also doesn't work with my OS (High Sierra).

Hi there, tocleo,

 

I can add some information about importing your QuickBooks Desktop data to QuickBooks Online.

 

Since you're unable to access your QuickBooks 2014 file in High Sierra, we can use the QuickBooks Mac 2019 trial version to open your company file and extract your data for import. Here's where you can access the Mac 2019 trial link: QuickBooks Desktop Trial Links

 

Once downloaded, make sure it is updated to the latest release to avoid migration errors. To update QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, please see Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

 

To export your Mac file, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open your company file and login as Admin.
  2. Go to the File menu.
  3. Select Export to QuickBooks Online.
  4. After the export, connect to your QuickBooks Online account using your userID and password.
  5. Click Sign In.
  6. Click OK, got it on the prompt.
  7. You'll get an email confirmation within 24 hours once the import is complete.

That's should get you back on track, tocleo. To know more about the conversion process, please check out this article: Convert QuickBooks Desktop for Mac file into QuickBooks Online

Thank you so much. This got me into the online trial version- hooray!

 

Now, I'm wondering if I'm able to use a QB Self-employed Online account or do I need to use QB Pro online? I already have a business online account for my biz. I'm hoping to use this account for my personal finance tracking, but would prefer not to spend the Pro price. 

 

Thanks so much!
