The latest release for QuickBooks MAC 2006 is currently R4 and the latest release for QuickBooks Pro for Mac 2007 is R6. The update displays the following message: "there is not enough disk space to install." Intuit has resolved the problem that caused this on the server. There was a problem with the update for QuickBooks Pro MAC for version 20. It may be possible to recover the missing files.
If you have lost files from your desktop and have not yet rebooted your computer, DO NOT reboot it until you speak with technical support. The files from desktop are missing or unable to copy files to desktop (after update) Intuit has posted a knowledge base article ( KB ID# 1009249) addressing the issue: Especially if they store documents on their desktop. If you know people that run their own businesses and use QuickBooks for Mac, do them a favor and warn them. TUAW is copiously documenting the brewing fiasco. If you haven't launched the application yet, disable the update code in Terminal with this command:ĭefaults write 2006 QBCheckForUpdatesKey NO If you've already launched QB and it's asking you to update, force quit the application (command-option-escape). There's an angry lynch mob currently marching on the Intuit and Apple boards and I expect it to grow as people come into work this morning and launch QB. Luckily I dodn't lose anything from my desktop because I use NoodleSoft's excellent Hazel (US$22, free trial, review), a great little application that moves all the crap that ends up on my desktop. I was a little miffed when it told me that I didn't have enough room to download the 100kb update as I have over 100GB free on my hard drive. I was doing some end-of-year accounting in QuickBooks 2006 for Mac over the weekend and received the software update notice (didn't grab a screen shot). An apparent bug in the software update code causes the accounting software to throw a vague "you don't have enough memory" dialog after attempting to download a 100k update while it simultaneously deletes your desktop folder. If you use QuickBooks 2006 or 2007 for the Mac– don't launch it.
