Question

Mac Sonoma and QB Server

This issue has to do with the Quickbooks SERVER for Mac.

 

I can load Server once, but if I need to quit and reload, it automatically crashes.  I have to go into the Library folder, remove the server plist file, reboot and then it will run. I have to reset the backup folder and re"share" all my company files.

 

This is NOT just my mac.  I just got a brand new mac and it's doing the same thing.  I have chatted twice with QB tech support.  The second time they said they needed to research it and get back to me.  I got an email a week later asking me to rank the solution.  There was no solution, it's still broken.

 

So just an FYI, if you use QB server with your mac, upgrading to Sonoma will break it and it doesn't look like they intend to fix it.

As my post stated, this is Quickbooks SERVER, not the main Quickbooks program itself.

Please send a message via QuickBooks->Feedback menu saying that the server is crashing.  I'll alert the team.

Hi @AVIDPgh. Thank you for alerting us to your issue. @IntuitBrooks informed the development team and we've diagnosed that a QBServer crash occurs on Sonoma when closing the application with 3+ files shared or opening the QBServer with 5+ files shared. We are working on a fix. As @IntuitBrooks suggested, please reach out to us via feedback and provide an email so we can contact you directly.

 

Thank you!

We have actually reproduced the issue on Ventura OS as well, so it is not isolated to Sonoma.
