I am syncing data between QuickBooks and my MVC application. I am able to sync data while keeping the Company file open in the QuickBooks but not able to sync data when I close the QuickBooks window. I am getting below error:
My problem is, I can't keep open single company file as I have to sync data with multiple company files as well.

FYI: It was working earlier, but it suddenly stopped working.
In Log its show "Could not find or create an instance of QuickBooks".
Here are things to look at if you are getting a "Could not start QuickBooks" error message.
Make sure your app is built for Target x86 only.
Make sure the Keep QuickBooks running is Un-checked in the General
Preferences.
Make sure QuickBooks and your application are running at the same
user level.
They both need to be running as a normal user or both running as
administrator, but not mixed.
If you are running in Visual Studio and trying to debug, you are
probably running in a mixed permission mode. VS runs as
administrator, so you will need to start QuickBooks using the Run As
Administrator option.
Make sure the Path and Filename are correct.
QuickBooks and QBXML SDK applications are NOT designed to run as a
service. They have to run in the context of a user.

you should be able to just manage your CloudKit data. There have been incompatible changes to the CloudKit containers during the beta's. Is your container created during the beta phase? If you keep having this problem and don't have valuable data in your container, then try resetting it. Click on Deployment and then on Reset development environment
For my case the Apple ID associated with my developer account was not activated for iCloud. You can determine if it is or isn't by going to https://www.icloud.com and trying to sign in with your developer Apple ID. If you can't then you won't be able to sign in to the dashboard either.
What I ended up doing was going to My Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com/) and reverifying my Apple ID address. Once this was completed I was able to login to both www.icloud.com and the iCloud CloudKit dashboard.
I just had this problem and looked everywhere for a solution, but had no luck.
Finally, I realised that this started happening immediately after I added a record to the iCloud (CloudKit) database from one of my devices, so I thought deleting all records might work.
This wasn't too easy as I, like you, couldn't log into the dashboard, however I ran the following code snippet in my application for each entity in my database, and that fixed the problem.
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ application: UIApplication) {
let publicDatabase = CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase
let allRecordsQuery = CKQuery(recordType: "ENTITY", predicate: NSPredicate(format: "TRUEPREDICATE", []))
publicDatabase.perform(allRecordsQuery, inZoneWith: nil) { (records, error) in
for record in records! {
publicDatabase.delete(withRecordID: record.recordID, completionHandler: { (deletedRecord, error) in
if error == nil {
print("Deleted " + (deletedRecord?.recordName)!)
} else {
print(error!)
}
})
}
}
}
Replace "ENTITY" with every type of record in your database and run again.
So if you have just two entities: Pet and Task, first set "ENTITY" to "Pet" and run the application. Then set the "ENTITY" to "Task" and run the application again.
I realise that your question was asked a while ago, but this bug clearly still hasn't been fixed and so I hope my solution helps anybody else who has this problem.
I was getting this same error message yesterday when trying to access the CloudKit Dashboard. I had previously accessed it with no problem. After trying several of the above suggestions with no luck, I called Apple. Apparently it was a system wide problem. That allowed me to stop messing up my code looking for the problem and just move on to another task. So, if nothing else seems to be working, that might be worth checking.
I am developing an iOS application to use Amazon cloud services(S3 service).
Since i need to authenticate the user, deployed TokenVendingMachine in AWS Elastic BeanStalk as per the steps provided in the Token Vending Machine for Identity Registration - Sample Java Web Application
But when iam trying to login through TVM, getting an error "signature doesn't matching".

I need clarification on few things
Do we need to make any modification on the WAR file associated with IdentityTVM template application? (Assuming, need modification in TokenVendingMachinePolicy.json file, please advice?)
Is there any relation between IAM user policy and TVM policy, should we give special attention to these sections while creating TVM in elastic beanstalk?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
There are a couple of places you can look at:
when you create a new account, avoid using special characters like #, ?, etc. The sample code doesn't sanitize user name, and may have an issue dealing with special characters.
make sure you entered the same user name/password combination as one that you created.
this blog post simplifies TVM deployment process. It's worth a try.

I'm going to assume that your QWC file is with the correct format.
If may looks something like this
<QBWCXML>
<AppName>Example WS</AppName>
<AppID></AppID>
<AppURL>https://localhost/Quickbooks.asmx</AppURL>
<AppDescription>Example Service Service</AppDescription>
<AppSupport>https://localhost/</AppSupport>
<UserName>Etile</UserName>
<OwnerID>{XXXXB9B1-86F1-4fcc-B1EE-566DE1813D20}</OwnerID>
<FileID>{XXXX4FB5-33D9-4815-AC85-BC87A7E7D1EB}</FileID>
<QBType>QBFS</QBType>
<Scheduler>
<RunEveryNMinutes>1</RunEveryNMinutes>
</Scheduler>
</QBWCXML>
When you add the application to QuickBooks's Web Connector, you will be prompted to allow the application access to QuickBooks data. You need to select the last option "Yes, always; allow access even if QuickBooks is not running"
And don't forget to return the full path to the company file from your Web Service's authenticate() method.
A Sample SOAP Response would be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://developer.intuit.com/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:authenticateResponse>
<ns1:authenticateResult>
<ns1:string>1e3ea2ed-a734-03e4-ed8c-80eb12f19845</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>C:\Quickbooks Company File.QBW</ns1:string>
</ns1:authenticateResult>
</ns1:authenticateResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Note that if you are using quickbooks-php, the file must be added manually for some reason. The Web Connector documentation and the new QuickBooks integration wiki both lack clarity on this detail.
I was banging my head against the wall on this but after 4 hours on the phone with Intuit and finally having the tier 2 engage there development team they clued me to into some more details on this vague as hell error. When you get this error the problem is not that it can't start quickbooks its that you're request from your server is attempting to open the file incorrectly. Things that will cause this. The name of the file is wrong, the path of the file is wrong. Your request is not formatted correctly.
In my case we had the file name correct but my server was suppose to pull the path of the file which you can confirm in the register at hkey_current_user\software\intuit\qbwebconnector\soapwebservices\ look for companyfile and you'll see the name and full path.
hope this helps someone deal with this vague error.
As log data is showing -> user authenticated, that means .qwc file is in correct format. After authentication, web connector is making a request to QuickBook to connect, which is failing in your case.
Steps to connect to QuickBooks desktop through web connector are :
Run web service and QuickBook desktop application in Admin mode
Name of web service and QuickBook company name should be same
Run QuickBook desktop in multi-user mode so that you can connect QuickBook through web connector as well.
In web service code, if user is authentic then make authReturn[1]=""
// to connect to the company file that is currently openned in QuickBooks
It worked for me.
All the best for you.
Using Delphi 2010 and Indy 10.5.8.0.
Against the server Titan FTP I'm getting all the time the exception "Invalid argument to time encode" (EConvertError) when connecting.
The server log tells me:

Any ideas?
The server is sending a faulty UTC offset in response to the SITE ZONE command. That is a bug in Titan. When Indy tries to parse the value for use in later TDateTime operations, the parse fails. Contact the Titan devs and let them know about the bug. In the meantime, I will look into updating TIdFTP to handle that error in the future.
