The new patch (version R5) disables the automatic update mechanism. Intuit issued an initial patch on 18-Dec-07, but it was still possible to download the bad patchĪccidentally under certain circumstances.

Only QuickBooks 2006 users lost any data QuickBooks 2007 users merely had extraneous folders placed in their user directory when the update failed. The files were permanently deleted, not moved to the Trash. The update would fail partway through the process, alerting the user that “There is not enough space to install.” The updater would then delete the Desktop folder.

The QuickBooks Fiasco - Several weeks ago, just as we (and many others) were starting to wrap up for the holidays, some users of QuickBooks Pro for Mac 2006 experienced failed automatic updates that deleted the Desktop folder and its contents.

All QuickBooks users should immediately apply this patch, even if you manually disabled automatic updates. Instructions for manually updating QuickBooks are available from Intuit. On 04-Jan-08, Intuit released a patch for QuickBooks Pro for Mac 2006 to resolve a widely reported problem where all files on a user’s Desktop, including subdirectories, could be permanently deleted if automatic updates were enabled.
