[Hidden-tech] quickbooks technician needed

[Don Lesser]

Stupid question, but they had you run a Verify and Repair on it, right? That would be the first thing I’d do.

 

Next, I’d try to make a copy of the file from within QuickBooks. (Copy File for QuickBooks Mac on PC version File menu.) This should rewrite the file.

 

You’ve probably done these, but off the top of my head, these are what I’d try.

The “they” is quickbooks technical support, supposedly a level higher than the first people you speak to (who couldn’t solve it)

 

It backs up every time I quit, and they’re saying it’s not corrupted, but is damaged, most likely from a power or connectivity interruption. You’d think a huge software company would expect such things, and also, they’re saying they’ve rarely seen this. 

 

The cynical side of me agrees that they are salespeople in techies’ clothing.

Just curious: who is the “they” that are offering tech support? Is it Quicken, or a third party? 

 

Related: do you backup your files every time you use QB? If so, were both your primary and backup files damaged?

Ira,

 

I would personally be skeptical of who you are speaking to at that point. There are a lot of semi legit or not legit at all companies out there pretending to be tech support for companies that are just trying to sign people up. What you describe sounds kind of like one of those. 

 

We absolutely work on QuickBooks issues for Mac if you want to bring it in for us to diagnose and repair. Our rates are way less than that as we charge by the hour and can't imagine it taking anywhere near long enough to rack up that kinda bill. 

Thanks,

Hello- my quickbooks 2011 for Mac kept quitting; followed their recommendation to upgrade to 2016, same problem; now they say upgrade to 2017, or pay $364 for one year of tech support, so they can use 3rd party tools to fix damage to files (as they diagnose- not corrupted, but damaged- from power interruption?) – they are really pushing the tech support, and wondering if there’s any local, less expensive, less vested interests person in the area?
