Does anyone know if QB Desktop for Mac 2020 is compatible with the most recent updates of macOS Monterey? I know some users are experiencing difficulty using QB Desktop for Mac 2020 when they update their macOS to Ventura. But what about when running the most recent updates for Monterey (for example version 12.6.8). If I do this, will I still be able to use the main features in QB Desktop for Mac 2020?

I have the information you need concerning system compatibility, JCW228.

 

QuickBooks for Mac 2020 is now fully compatible with macOS 12 Monterey. For the best performance, please make sure you have upgraded to the R11 version or any newer versions available. This will enable you to fully utilize the program's features and functionalities on the macOS Monterey platform.

 

Allow me to provide you with this article for additional information about the update: Intuit’s Support Policy for QuickBooks for Mac Running on MacOS 12 Monterey.

 

You can also follow these steps on how to get the latest maintenance update within the product:

 

  1. From the QuickBooks▼ dropdown, select Check for QuickBooks Updates.
  2. If a newer version is available, select Install Update.
  3. Click Install and Relaunch when prompted,
  4. When the update is complete, QuickBooks for Mac automatically opens.

 

Just in case you need to make some changes to your company file and preferences, I'll share this article as well: General Preferences for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

Thank you for your quick reply! So, does this mean that I will be able to run any current and future updates to macOS Monterey without it affecting my use of QB Desktop for Mac 2020 as long as I am running the R11 version or any later version?
