Who else out there got screwed this weekend when they tried to open their QuickBooks program on their Mac? I lost my entire desktop and was told it would be $500-700 to recover and no promises. If you haven't opened QuickBooks and you have a mac don't open it. Go to Intuit's website and find out the details.

Whoa...I've had my macbook for a year now and I absolutely love it. This is the first thing like this I've ever heard!

If you have QuickBooks don't use it till you find out if it is safe or not. It isn't a Mac problem it is an Intuit problem. Quickbooks goes to update and it creates a new file with the word desktop in it and erases your existing desktop. Just learned that I had all my files recovered most likely but none of them are named properly. So that means that I get to go through 25000 files opening them up trying to figure out what the hell is what. I am so pissed at Intuit and myself for not backing things up properly.

Every time Intuit has a major update, it is always a screwup!! I think that they are actually trying to surpass Microsoft for the buggiest product. I just wish there was a valid alternative.
