quicken should work with lion.
Quicken Essentials will work with Lion.  Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet.  It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered.  Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies.  The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken).  That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it.  Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company.  Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market.  That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.

    If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
    Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user.

  • I want to get a MacBook Air soon but I want to know us Apple is going to decrease the price

    I want to get a MacBook Air soon but I want to know us Apple is going to decrease the price

    As BT said - no one knows. Looking at general practice - Apple may release new verisons of macbooks to replace existing once, probably at similar price. You may be able then to get the current ones at reduced prices as refurbnished ones.
    The bottom line - the new macbook could come out tomorrow, or in 6 months. If you keep waiting - you'll never get one.
    If it fullfils your current needs - that won't change. Go and get it. They are amazing machines. With Apple you can generaly return in within 14/30 days (depend on country) if you're not satisfied (*or if apple release new ones within that time )

  • Does someone know when our movie project and finally our iDVD project is done, can we erase the clip that we had imported in iMovie without danger?  Or we have to keep the clip in iMovie until the DVD are burn?

    Hi
    Most processes in Non destructive Video editing is based on that the raw-material is safe and intact. So by trashing it most things can or will go wrong.
    So e.g. in iMovie project - there is NO Movie - just a small text document refering to Your raw-material, audio files and photos (within or not in iPhoto Library) on how they are to act together to Play Your Movie.
    And by changing any of them the Movie project will be affected or destroyed.
    reg. iDVD there is also a link back to iMovie - Most famous to set of the iDVD BUG !
    To do that - one starts a new iDVD project and add movies etc. Then find something i one movie in need to be adjusted. Closing iDVD and returning to iMovie and doing this. Then when back to iDVD it will notice and ask You to Up-date or Cancel. Neither works. The iDVD project is harmed. All Chapters now point to Chapter One and more strange things happens.
    the medicine I use - I start a brand new iDVD Project and re-do it and hopefully not fine any more to be fixed in the movie.
    This indicates the strong link inbetween iDVD and iMovie and I would not touch anything in iMovie till DVD is Burned and Ready AND Plays Well !

  • My ipod is lost and out of charge . whats the best app to find it or locate were itwas last used

    my ipod is lost and out of charge. whats the best app to find it or locate were it was last used ect

    There is no such app. There are apps  available that will periodically email the location but those have to be installed before it is lost.However, typically those do not works with iPods since iPod have to be connected to the internet via wifi to send the email.

  • The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem.

    I'm trying to make a DVD menu in Encore, and then when it came round to loading my AVI  files into it, bam. Apparently, I don't have the decoders necessary - this is unusual.
    I'm running on a Apple MacBook Pro, and I have Perian installed for all my codec needs. I just don't understand!
    Any help would be most appreciated...

    Welcome to the forum.
    It is most likely that the error message is telling you the truth - the necessary CODEC is not available. It might not be installed, or might be broken.
    The first step is to gather the full details of your .AVI files. This ARTICLE will help explain the potential issues. Sorry that the utilities mentioned are for the PC. Do not know if you can run them in Parallels, or Bootcamp, or other, but similar should be available for the Mac if you cannot.
    I have to admit that I know little of Mac's, and especially how they install and handle CODEC's. On the PC, I can offer help there, but not in this case. Again, with my "sorry."
    There could be two ways to handle the issue, and that might depend on the info gathered afer you read the above article. It could be that the simple installation of the proper CODEC will fix it perfectly and easily. Or, it could mean that you will need to convert your .AVI to something along the lines of a DV-AVI. Though I do not use them in Encore, I have no problem working with .MOV [Animation CODEC] files from FCP in my PrPro. I've just always done all editing in PrPro, before Exporting/Importing to En. I do not know how En will handle .MOV's, but if some Mac-only CODEC is used, probably not so well.
    Good luck,

  • What is best laptop for personal use ?? my requirement is gaming and whole day personal usage ?

    am fed up for buying a new laptops ?

    These would be okay for gaming and still stick under the 1000 buck mark
    The thing I look for in a laptop (that I want to game on) is a discrete graphics card notably either ATI or NVIDIA ... if it says Intel Graphics i stay away from those... they just aren't going to handle gaming that well.
    These laptops are intel based processors that I kinda lean toward these days - you may get better value out of an AMD based machine... I personally like intel a little better right now for processors.
    Memory - I just look for 3GB and above.
    these really only apply to Best Buy... other places are going to have different models

  • Best Pactice for Connecting ASA to Catalyst Switch with Mulitple VLANs

    Hi all,
    Have the following network topology that was in place when I started the job (See attached pdf).  Am thinking it might be better if I could eliminate the Cisco 2811 router and connect directly from the ASA to my 12 port fiber switch (192.168.7.1).  In my thinking this would eliminate an unnecessary piece of equipment and also give me a gig link to my ASA as opposed to the 100 meg link I have now with the old router.  The 12 port fiber has links to most of my IDFs and is acting as my VLAN gateway for all inter VLAN routing.
    Is my current topology ideal or would I be better served to remove router and connect directly to the 3750G-12s Fiber switch or my Master Switch (192.168.7.4)?  Only thing I don’t like about direct connect to Master switch is that it takes scheduling a major outage for me to reboot it.  However, if that is best practice in this case, I can live with it.
    It appears the 12 port fiber cannot have IP addresses  assigned directly to Ports, only to VLANs.  So would I have to create a separate vlan for my ASA and assign IPs to the vlan on each end of the connection?
    I have read some suggestions that say it is better to terminate all VLANs on the ASA.  So as I understand that would require creating subinterfaces on my ASA LAN port and assigning each subinterface to its own VLAN  Inter VLAN routing would then be controlled by ASA.
    Does not seem practical to me as I have about 15 VLANs total.  Not showing everything in the drawing.
    Guess my main question is “What is best practice for topology and routing in my scenario?”

    Hi Mcreilly,
    You should be able to assign an ip address on cat6k sup720 if you are running native ios on sup 720.
    If you are running catos then you will not be able to do that and you can have it configured as trunk and connect to the router.Also I do not think that you need subinterfaces on router and trunk on switch because your cat6k with sup720 must be doing intervlan routing between vlans.
    You can just connect it on some port on any vlan and same subnet ip address which you have it on msfc for that vlan you can assign on the router interface and anybody want to go out via t3 link will get routes on sup720 and move out via router vlan.
    For suppose you do not want the router to be part of existing vlan you can create one vlan on cat6k sup720 and assign one port to that new vlan and connect the royter to that new vlan port and then create logical interface on msfc for that new vlan and assign an ip address range on that logical vlan and same subnet ip address range you can assign on router physical interface.
    Any one from other vclan get routed on sup 720 msfc and will move out via the vlan on which you have connected the router.
    because you have only one router you will not be able to maintain box level redundancy by which i mean if the router goes down t3 will be unreachable.

  • I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
    Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
    Flight to germany, but it over their.
    I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
    For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.

    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

  • I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni and I was wondering what the best type would be to get? One with retina display etc

    I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni next year and I'm not sure what type to get. I've heard different things about the retina display and that people only get it to edit photos etc but then people have said that it is quicker and makes the laptop lighter. I'm also unsure of how much storage I will need. If anyone can help that would be great!!

    There are two screen displays available - Retina and non-Retina - and there's a world of difference between them. The Retina has non-user replaceable RAM and flash storage (well, the latter without voiding your warranty) and the non-Retina has user replaceable RAM and HD/SSD. And then, of course, there's the difference in the resolution of the screen itself... and a difference between the 13" and 15" screens (available in both 'flavors').
    How much storage you need will depend on your needs.
    I don't recommend the Retina models at this time - too many issues with tinting (on Samsung displays) and image retention (on LG displays).
    So take a look at what the non-Retina machines have to offer - you can customize to your heart's content but remember that you can always upgrade the RAM and the hard drive in the non-Retina machines yourself.
    My 2¢...

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
