1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:04,000
So first thing we’ll do is make a backup copy.
2
00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:08,000
No audio – Screen Display Only
3
00:00:08,000 –> 00:00:11,333
No audio – Screen Display Only
4
00:00:11,333 –> 00:00:16,000
I’m just going to save this to the desktop because I will
5
00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:20,000
not be using it after today, hopefully.
6
00:00:20,000 –> 00:00:24,000
No audio – Screen Display Only
7
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:28,000
No audio – Screen Display Only
8
00:00:28,000 –> 00:00:32,000
No audio – Screen Display Only
9
00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:36,000
Okay so know that I have a backup copy saved, I’m going
10
00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:40,000
to do my conversion.
11
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:44,000
So, we’ll go to File> Utilities
12
00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:50,000
and then Copy Company File for QuickBooks Mac
13
00:00:50,000 –> 00:00:55,966
Looks like your QuickBooks for Windows might be a better fit for your company here’s why.
14
00:00:55,966 –> 00:00:56,000
15
00:00:56,000 –> 00:01:00,266
QuickBooks for Mac is great for light inventory needs, but
16
00:01:00,266 –> 00:01:03,000
doesn’t support complex inventory needs
17
00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:06,566
like using units of measure assembly
18
00:01:06,566 –> 00:01:10,566
items or a manufacturer part numbers
19
00:01:10,566 –> 00:01:14,566
I don’t need those so much
20
00:01:14,566 –> 00:01:18,566
These features aren’t available, so
21
00:01:18,566 –> 00:01:22,566
here are the items in there that might you might
22
00:01:22,566 –> 00:01:26,566
want to consider. If you’ve got custom
23
00:01:26,566 –> 00:01:31,766
forms or custom reports you have to create them in QuickBooks for Mac
24
00:01:31,766 –> 00:01:34,733
So, that’s not the end of the world, but we want to make sure
25
00:01:34,733 –> 00:01:38,566
you know about it. So, do we still want to go? Yeah.
26
00:01:38,566 –> 00:01:45,100
You see the file is the CompanyName.Mac.qbb
27
00:01:45,100 –> 00:01:48,233
We’re going to Save that.
28
00:01:48,233 –> 00:01:50,566
No audio – Screen Display Only
29
00:01:50,566 –> 00:01:54,566
No audio – Screen Display Only
30
00:01:54,566 –> 00:01:58,966
You have successfully exported your Company File
31
00:01:58,966 –> 00:02:01,700
They’re telling us where it is. It’s under
32
00:02:01,700 –> 00:02:06,566
Company Files>Vicki . It’s here Users> Public Documents
33
00:02:06,566 –> 00:02:12,100
>Intuit> QuickBooks> Company Files> ….Ok, so it’s pretty in-depth
34
00:02:12,100 –> 00:02:14,566
We need to be able to find that.
35
00:02:14,566 –> 00:02:21,200
You’re going to want to save it to a drive that you can use on your Mac
36
00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:26,466
I’m going to put it on my OneDrive and it should be accessible through my Mac
37
00:02:26,466 –> 00:02:26,566
38
00:02:26,566 –> 00:02:28,366
39
00:02:28,366 –> 00:02:34,733
You can see that I’ve made a folder for this to go into
40
00:02:34,733 –> 00:02:37,533
So whenever I get over to my Mac I can find it.
41
00:02:37,533 –> 00:02:43,866
The instructions that we had earlier for where the file went is
42
00:02:43,866 –> 00:02:43,966
43
00:02:43,966 –> 00:02:52,233
This PC>C>Users>Public>Public Documents>Intuit>QuickBooks>Company Files
44
00:02:52,233 –> 00:02:52,333
45
00:02:52,333 –> 00:02:57,066
and then you need to find the one that’s the Mac
46
00:02:57,066 –> 00:02:57,100
47
00:02:57,100 –> 00:03:02,466
Drag it over to our OneDrive and we’re going to put in our folder
48
00:03:02,466 –> 00:03:06,666
or whichever drive you have that you’re going to use.
49
00:03:06,666 –> 00:03:09,866
Once that’s done we can move over to our Mac.
50
00:03:09,866 –> 00:03:09,899
