Quickbooks For Mac 2013 Couldn't Be Opened Because It Isn't In The Correct Format

Windows 10 isn’t all that fundamentally different than Windows 8.1 and so I figured the process should still work in some fashion. After opening the Print Management tool and looking at the properties, here is what I’ve found has happened. People come to QuickBooks Learn & Support 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. It is possible that you couldn't activate because you were not connected to the Internet. After the trial period, you get a hard-prompt saying to activate now (the machine must be connected to the Internet). I reinstalled Office 2013 and it did not correct the problem. I, too, can't even open existing word docs from 'My Documents' because it says the library no longer works and can be deleted. Oct 19, 2014  The file isn’t in the correct format.

QuickBooks Data Corruption A QuickBooks Company file may not open for a number of reasons. It may have become damaged the last time it was in use, or it may have been damaged due to some form of corruption on your hard drive where the file is stored. Other common factors include problems with reports or transaction templates that were left open within the file the last time it was closed (especially if you have the preference selected to ‘save desktop upon exit’.

Other reasons include using the wrong version of QuickBooks, or issues with the location of the file such as access permissions, problems with the file name and file extension, or a conflicting *QBW.tlg file are additional reasons why you might not be able to open the file. You may experience various error messages including the -6000 series (there are several), or the H### series, C= errors (such as C=343 or C=422, although these are rare), various Unrecoverable Errors (I wrote an article about this last week) and many more.

Preliminary Step: The preliminary step is to always make certain that the problem is really with ‘your Company file’ and not QuickBooks itself. One good way of doing this is to press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key while double clicking the actual QuickBooks application icon (not your QuickBooks file icon). If the program still does not open while holding down the Ctrl key then you have a QuickBooks application issue, and not a ‘file issue’. If QuickBooks does open, then try opening a ‘sample company’ file, and if the sample company opens then chances are the problem is with ‘your own Company file’.

So let’s assume for purposes of this article that you have determined that the problem must be with your Company file. A short time back I also wrote an article about QuickBooks not allowing you to log-in, because the QBW.tlg file or the database server thought that you were logged-in, so I won’t go into those things now, other than as the QBW.tlg file may relate to other problems. Step 1: The 1st step that I recommend is that you return to the ‘No Company Open’ screen, if you have that sample file open, then select the option to close/log-off from the File Menu.

Step 2: From the ‘No Company Open’ screen, the 2 nd step is to select the Utilities sub-menu from the File Menu, if the option to ‘Stop Hosting Multi-user Access’ is available, you want to select it. What we are trying to accomplish here is ‘turn off’ the hosting function either on the computer you are using, or on any other computer on your network that is acting as the ‘host’.

So you may need to go through the same steps I outlined a moment ago regarding use of the Ctrl key to open QuickBooks without any Company file being opened, then proceed to shut-down hosting on any/every computer you find it running. (Note: Hosting should NEVER be turned on in more than one computer on your network.) Step 3: The 3rd step is to use the Windows browse feature to locate the directory (folder) where your Company file is stored. At this point you want to make a Windows ‘copy’ of your CompanyFile.QBW and CompanyFile.QBW.tlg file and safely store them away in a directory called ‘Safety-1’ you create (I almost always suggest on the ‘desktop’.) Now I want you to repeat this process to create another copy in an additional directory called ‘Safety-2’ and copy the two files to that directory as well.

For Mac owners still running OS X 10.5 Leopard or earlier versions of the Mac's operating system, there has been another casualty of time's passing -- the ability to use Skype.
