Database corruption can occur when the formatting of one or more data pages become damaged, rendering the information on that page, and perhaps many pages, inaccessible.

Whether QuickBooks for Windows, or QuickBooks for Mac, data corruption is probably the most common cause of QuickBooks data loss, and despite Intuits efforts to improve the stability and redundancy functionality of QuickBooks, some forms of data corruption are becoming more prevalent than in the past.

While much of the underlying database structure remains reasonably consistent between Mac and Windows, variations in the interface make for additional complexities when attempting to identify and potentially repair data corruption issues.

Here you will find information such as file size, transactions, targets, and links as well as other data that identifies the various components of the database and QuickBooks application.

The QuickBooks database, whether for Windows or Mac has limitations as to the overall size of these List tables.

The Verify utility performs a complete validation and verification of the database, but messaging differs from the typical messages displayed by QuickBooks for Windows.

For example, the Verify utility may return a message indicating that b-check failed.

Rebuild is designed to remove damaged data from the file, where possible, and to also rebuild the indexes used in tracking the data within the file.

In some cases data is rewritten to the file, but some structural changes maybe associated with those rewrites.

In such cases pre-rebuild and post-rebuild accounting balances may be different.

Because of this you should always prepare certain reports before running the Rebuild Utility.

In QuickBooks for Mac these reports are produced from accounts rather than their respective items (as in QuickBooks for Windows).
