When trying to open the QuickBooks Online for Mac app this morning, it tries to open and then crashes. It was working fine yesterday. Nothing has changed on this side - no OS updates etc. I can't do any data resets via the app because it doesn't open. I would delete the app and reinstall it but I've searched for a download link for the app for ages and can not find one - why's that so hard to find? I can log in via a browser so I can get to my data, but I would like the app to work...

Hello there, soundsessential

 

I know how vital for your company to use QuickBooks Online (QBO) Mac app smoothly. I'm here to help ensure the troubleshooting is a breeze for you.

 

We'll have to uninstall and reinstall the QBO Mac app to start on a clean slate. Here's how to remove the program:

 

  1. Close the QuickBooks Mac App.
  2. Click the QuickBooks drop-down menu and select Quit QuickBooks.
  3. Choose any blank space on the desktop.
  4. Head to the Go menu and select Go to folder.
  5. Enter ~/Libray/Application Support/QuickBooks into the Go to folder field.
  6. This action will direct you into the current user's Library fold.
  7. Highlight the QuickBooks folders and right-click to select Delete or drag and drop the folder to the trash. 

 

Next, reinstall QBO on your computer. If you're unable to lodge the program, I recommend contacting our QBO Care Team to assist you further. Follow the steps below to obtain the support details:

That fixed it but getting to a download of the app required a lengthy support chat. The instructions above are not quite accurate and links lead to Windows instructions. But deleting the library files and reinstalling the app has fixed the crashing.
