File sharing can interfere with installing or updating TurboTax on Mac OS X.
To avoid problems, temporarily turn off file sharing:
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- Click the Sharing icon.
- In the list of services on the left, find the File Sharing entry.
- Clear the On check box.
- Install or update TurboTax.
After installing or updating, you can turn file sharing back on by repeating these steps, except in Step 4 you would put a check in the On check box.
