I wanted to thank you for your great videos. Earlier today, I could not for the life of me find a current backup to our books. I thought it was because I was trying to clean off the laptop desktop. In panic mode I stopped, thought about my options, and immediately thought, "Go to Candus' videos and see if she has something on restoring QB." Your tone, attitude, and knowledge are re-assuring to this "old bird" when I run into trouble trying to manage our small town public library's books. Our tight budget doesn't allow us to hire out our accounting but we still must maintain good records for taxes and state reports. I agree with others, you are a Rock Star! Thank you!

OMG, Candus ... I just encountered a possible crash yesterday!!! So this video could not have come at a more fortuitous time!!! My computer guy was able to get everything back for me, but I will definitely be purchasing an external drive and be backing up going forward ... as always, YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!!!

Hi Candus! Watching your videos and you explain things very well! I'm having problems going from 2022 desktop to a 2021 new disk. do you have a video on that? it sounds like im doing things backwards but just trying to save $$ on the subscription end of things. and trying to retire without going broke first:)

Hello, could you explain if your first computer where you have QuickBooks burned down in a fire and you have to buy another computer, how can I recover the program and install it on my new computer, thanks

Is there a way to move quickbooks desktop program to another computer without a CD? I have my files saved to a backup already.

I want to know how you can retrieve a lost file in quickbooks

Why can't anyone answer the question: My laptop died and quickbooks went with it. All I have is my "company.qbb" backup file. What is the process after install a fresh copy of qickbooks?

I have a different question altogether: I am downloading a new desktop pro 2017 version on a NEW windows 11 computer. But it's not working. The message I get is ' browser is not supported' . I am SO confused: the point of having a desktop version is to NOT be on the internet.
Needless to say, I can't open the program. Any solutions? or am I stuck with having to migrate to the online version

My computer crashed, I had a old version of QB Enterprise no password or account for it I think our former office guy took it off his computer because he wasn't using it, I have the files in a HD enclosure I just purchased QB online how do I transfer files to QB online?

[humblewalker]

Ok but how do we retrieve it on a different computer.
