I can share some information about the error you're having when trying to open your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, @Lynfield.
If you're encountering an error while opening QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) on your Mac, you can try to resolve it by holding down the Command button while opening the program. However, if the error persists, there's a known issue when attempting to open QuickBooks for Mac on Sonoma OS (v14). Customers have reported being unable to open QB Mac on the new Sonoma OS and receiving a spinning wheel. Our Product Engineering team is aware of this problem and is currently working on a fix.
In the meantime, I suggest contacting our Customer Support Team, so you'll be added to the list of affected users and receive an email notification once we resolve the issue.
If you are unable to access your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, you can click on the What can we help you with? link. From there, select QuickBooks for Mac from the dropdown menu and provide all the necessary information about your concern. This will help us check for any available types of support that may be available at that time. Then, let them add you to Investigation No. 93522.
I also suggest creating a backup of your company file at the end of every session to restore your company file in case you encounter any errors: Back up your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac company file.
