Thanks for this information.  I’ve been a loyal QBDT user for decades, and I remain loyal because I loathe QB online.  This incident, however, may have turned me off Quickbooks permanently.  Like everyone else, I downloaded Sonoma 14.0 last night (Sept 27).  Today when I tried to open one of my QB files…it crashed immediately.  

I’ve now been on the phone with Apple for approx 1.5 hour trying to restore everything - fortunately I have everything backed up on an external hard drive.  I expect the process to take at least another 2 hours.  But getting my functionality back will not excuse the incompetence at Intuit.

Guess what, Intuit?  I will NOT purchase your online version because it sucks.  I’ll take my business - and my clients’ businesses - elsewhere.
