Is QB really prepared (that might be a first!) so that we you upgrade to OS Ventura, QB Desktop for Mac 2021 will still work?

Hello, @GK5919. I've come to share some insights about how OS Ventura works with QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

Yes, QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2021 is compatible with macOS Ventura. However, we haven't received any updates that it works seamlessly with QBDT for Mac 2021. That said, we can't guarantee it won't run into any issues.

 

You can read through this article that contains the list of the minimum system requirements for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2021: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2021.

 

On top of that, I'll add this handy resource to help you if you run issues along the way: Verify and rebuild data in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

You can always reply or reach out to us again if you need anything else with managing your QBDT. We're always here to guide and assist you whenever you need help. Have a good one!

We released the update for Ventura for QB Mac 2022 yesterday.  We are working backwards through the other versions but should have the update released soon.  Until then you probably should hold off on upgrading to Ventura.  

 

The issue, as always, is that Apple doesn't provide much advance notice of when they'll release the final. We have to test each QB version against each beta update Apple ships.  It just takes time. We've been working on Ventura issues, and providing feedback to Apple on things they broke, for months.

That should say QB Mac 2023... sorry.

Once i upgraded to Ventura my QB 2021 desktop, version 20.0.10 R11>2 constantly crashes. When opening a new account, empty folders are added to the menu list. Closing them works sometimes, and other times a Crash Catcher appears. What a waste of time. I have spent hours trying to figure out how to fix this and have verified and rebuilt my accounts. Nothing works. No update has been provided and I've seen articles indicating that Intuit will no longer be supporting QB desktop any longer. So disappointing to have spent thousands of dollars on a product I'll no longer be able to use and transactions in its proprietary files that cannot be imported into other software.
