'When I go to restore the file into my QuickBooks it asks me to update the file. We are both using QuickBooks 2013.' Obviously, though, you are not running the same program at all. 'will she be able to restore the file back into her computer using QuickBooks for Mac?' What happens when you try? The issue is not '2013' but maintenance release levels, which are not going to pace together PC and Mac. Whether or not it affects 'roundtripping' is something you might read about at qblittlesquare.com I suppose.

People come to Accountants Community for help and answers—we want to let them know that we're here to listen and share our knowledge. We do that with the style and format of our responses. Here are five guidelines:. Keep it conversational. When answering questions, write like you speak. Imagine you're explaining something to a trusted friend, using simple, everyday language. Avoid jargon and technical terms when possible.

When no other word will do, explain technical terms in plain English. Be clear and state the answer right up front. Ask yourself what specific information the person really needs and then provide it. Stick to the topic and avoid unnecessary details. Break information down into a numbered or bulleted list and highlight the most important details in bold. Be concise.

Aim for no more than two short sentences in a paragraph, and try to keep paragraphs to two lines. A wall of text can look intimidating and many won't read it, so break it up. It's okay to link to other resources for more details, but avoid giving answers that contain little more than a link. Be a good listener. When people post very general questions, take a second to try to understand what they're really looking for.

Then, provide a response that guides them to the best possible outcome. Be encouraging and positive. Look for ways to eliminate uncertainty by anticipating people's concerns. Make it apparent that we really like helping them achieve positive outcomes.

I'm looking for a solution to allowing Mac's access to Quickbooks enterprise Solutions 12. I have 12 mac users that need to have access to Quickbooks. Quickbooks enterprise as far as I know doesn't have an installer for OSX. Only 4 of the Mac's are Intel's otherwise I would just use virtual box or any other vmware to install windows and Quickbooks on a virtual machine.

I currently have them connect through remote desktop to a workstation that has Quickbooks installed but it's not a very idea solution since I end up having to reboot the host box frequently. If any one has come up with a good way to support Mac clients in Quickbooks enterprise environment I would be happy to learn how you did it. Eciment wrote: We are running the same version, but there are a few other factors to take into account. One of our QB files is over 2.5 GB in size.

We have had corruptions over the years, and even had some consultants look at it and run some fixes for the corruptions as well as shrink the file size over the years. But, we are crashing even smaller files that have no historical data dating back more than 1 year, and even those crash from time to time.

We are running the software exclusively on the server, not just the DB - workstations are NOT connecting from their local machines. Every user logs in to the TS and runs QB from the server. Thanks for your help.

2.5GB is pretty big. We're only at 1GB and I would consider that a fairly large size. That's also keeping roughly 5+ years worth of data for a 130 employee company.

When you say it crashes, what exactly happens? Just a couple things to check on that can cause headaches: 1. Make sure QBDataServiceUser21 has at least modify(Quickbooks recommends Full Control, but I don't think it would ever need to delete the root folder) permissions on each folder that contains the Quickbooks company files(Quickbooks also recommends that the parent folders have the same permisions). Running Quickbooks backups(with verification) frequently can keep things running smoothly and also keep your TLG file under control. We had an issue where the TLG file was growing by 50% of the company file size per day. I didn't even notice until it got to be a bloated 17GB.

Also, the Quickbooks 'community' can be a great place to ask specific questions. I've found that the people on there are often more knowledgeable than Quickbooks Support. Occasionally, you get someone good at Support, but it's very hit-and-miss. Regarding the TLG file problem, I must've called Support 3 times, each with a remote session, and they never were able to fix the problem.

I had an answer within 4 hours on the community by a guy that merely runs a Quickbooks blog. We were considering moving to a TS setup at one point, but it just didn't fit our environment well. Our users only connect from within the building anyway and had already purchased the maximum of 30 non-TS user licenses. Quickbooks, in general, can be very quirky. I have a desktop image set up on at least 8 new machines. Two of them have constant problems with Quickbooks.

They're literally identical setups and the users have identical levels of access. I've reinstalled, repatched, etc.

I'm kind of glad we're not using TS in this instance because at least there are only two people affected by the problem instead of everyone. I didn't see enterprise 12 on that list so I'll see what happens. Since using Quickbooks enterprise 3 years now I haven't had any issue that required me to get support (knock on wood) yet. But your right it would suck to not be supported, I'm really just curious to see if it runs though.

It would require a lot more testing maybe by one or two users before I installed on the rest. Yep Quickbooks would not start after the installation. That was version 11 that I was trying first, now I'm trying version 12 but I'm expecting the same outcome. Oh well it was worth a shot.

Still, the fact that all the ones that have been tried say that they don't work, and the rest say unknown is a bad sign. I used to work at Intuit, so I'm intimately familiar with QuickBooks (I actually started there supporting QBES) - I've never talked to anyone who got Crossover working. Your best bet is either VMs or TS, like Tim recommends. Anything else either won't work, or worse, will cause data corruption as Tim says.

TigerBlood wrote: I would prefer to just do VM's or Terminal Server but most of the Macs are PowerPC and I'm pretty sure that you can't use VMware on that architecture. If I set up a Terminal server with Server 2008 R2 SP1 would I be able to access the hosted application from a mac, I don't have any experience with Terminal Services and haven't read the documentation yet. Terminal Services is your best bet, and it is easy to setup. Costs a bit for the licensing, but worth it in saving you the hassle. Using TS means you only have to upgrade the one installation, and you don't have to deal with the mess of the database hosting.

The Mac version split off from the Windows version a long time ago. It got cancelled a couple of times and then resurrected.

The end result is that the Mac version is behind the Windows version in terms of features, and there is no Enterprise client for Mac. Your one other option would be QuickBooks Online, but that is only if you can get by without the Enterprise features that QBO doesn't have. And I don't know if you can convert from Enterprise data files to QBO yet, so you'd have to check that.

With just the MS software (MS TS server, MS TS client app on Mac) the user experience would be similar to their current experience using remote desktop to access a Windows Workstation.

With additional software you are able to make the application on the terminal server act like it's a local application. I normally use Citrix for this, but many options exist.

Yep I just wanted to check out the application publishing feature, I know you said it wouldn't work for Macs but just still wanna see how it functions. Does Citrix require Terminal Services or can it be stand alone?

If I use a Citrix solution do I need to have licenses for the TS and Citrix? Sorry for the dumb questions I have the same amount of experience with Citrix as I do with TS which is none. Lister: Where is everyone Hol? Holly: They're dead Dave. Lister: Who is?
