My quicken won't work after I installed mac os x.   I downloaded quicken 2007 but need to retrieve my info from my old quicken records.  HELP!

I'm new to apple support.  Didn't realize I had to type more.  I just updated my imac to os x so I could use icloud, etc.  To my surprise, my quicken no longer works.  I downloaded quicken 2007 but can't seem to find a way to retrieve my old info.  Any ideas?

I know you are frustrated from updating and that is understandable.  BUT: we should be able to fix it for you. BTW: this forum is NOT Apple Support: we are just Apple users like you who share our knowledge and help.
What model iMac did you recently update?  Under the Apple Menu, go to About this Mac and tell us what it says; and then click MORE INFO and SYSTEM REPORT and tell us what Model Name and Model Identifier.
Your older Mac is the iMac G4 "Luxo" (so called, because it looks like the Luxo logo of Pixar turned upside down, the character from Pixar's first short film).  Chances are you were using Tiger OS X 10.4.x; maybe upgraded to Leopard OS X 10.5.x.  It does not support Snow Leopard or above.
My daughter purchased that iMac and we still have it and it works with Leopard OS X 10.5.8.  I do not remember it coming with Quicken 2006, as I would have commandered it for my collection because I was using Quicken Deluxe 2002 up until Intuit released Quicken 2007 for Lion.  But if you say that is where you got it, you must be correct.
Can you restore your newer iMac back to whatever version of OS X that it was running before?  Do you have a Time Machine backup?  Or other suggestions to restore the older OS X are here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20095881#20095881
Downloading the new Quicken 2007 for Lion before you upgraded is usually not an issue.  There is a data upgrade issue BEFORE you upgrade if you, like me, were using a version of Quicken older than 2005.  Then you must use Quicken 2006 or Quicken 2007 PPC version on a Mac that will run it (i.e., pre-Lion or Mountain Lion) to update the older data file to one that will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
When you say something about a "qif" file; where are you hearing this and in what context?  This should not come up in this context, but maybe if you were using Quicken on a PC. Were you using Quicken 2006 on a PC and not a Mac before?
Quicken 2006 CD means you are using exactly that and not Essentials: GOOD!
Does your iMac Luxo have Quicken 2006 installed on it?  If not, what version is installed on it?  If not, perhaps you can use your Quicken 2006 CD to install Quicken 2006 and again attempt to access your old Quicken data file and see if this works.
Lastly, if you feel comfortable with emailing me your old data file, I can do the translation work for you and resend it back to you to use with Quicken 2007 in Lion.  I can understand if you feel that this is sensitive data and do not want to share it with a stranger...

  • Pacman won't work after Shorewall install

    Today I got shorewall and dnsmasq installed and operational. However, I can no longer install packages with pacman. I get the error:
    :: Retrieving packages from core...
    error: failed retrieving file 'gpm-1.20.6-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz' from mirrors.kernel.org : Connection refused

    error: failed to commit transaction (Connection refused)
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    No matter which mirror I use. Any ideas?
    And yes, I can ping google.com and other outside addresses.

    @nadman10
    I've never used shorewall, but it appears to be a firewall.
    It is unlikely that the default configuration of shorewall knows anything about pacman, and thus wouldn't allow the pacman protocol though.
    You could try adding the following to your /etc/pacman.conf file under [options]:
    XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c %u -O %o
    This would (I believe) cause pacman to use ftp to retrieve the data files which shorewall would (most likely) allow.
    Of course, if pacman uses a standard protocol (like ftp) then this wouldn't fix your problem.  In that case you would have to look through the shorewall documentation to find out how to allow the pacman mirrors to have access to your machine.

  • Facetime won't work after Lion install... No mic from isight

    After installing Lion on my 2010 mac mini, Facetime won't recognize my firewire isight mic. Video comes in from the isight, but it doesn't find it as an audio input choice. System preferences recognizes it and hears your voice, but not Facetime. You can Facetime with someone but they won't hear you. Skype still works fine on Lion using the same isight (audio &video).... tried resetting PRAM but still nothing...  C'mon Apple.. Lion and Facetime need a fix here!!  I've read others are experiencing same issue!!

    In Lion, neither the previous version of FaceTime Version 1.1 (258) from OS X 10.7.1 nor the current Version 1.1.1 (262) from OS X 10.7.2 can use external iSight's Firewire mic.
    The firewire iSight camera works with Lion's FaceTime, but the iSight's Firewire mic is not available for selection in FaceTime > Video. One alternative is to use another video chat app such as iChat or Skype.  Both iChat and Skype can use external iSight's mic in Lion (and earlier Mac OS versions.)

  • Username and Password won't work after Archive & Install...?

    Can someone help me out here. I had to do an Archive and install on my sisters iMac G4 this evening, for Tiger OSX. She was getting continual Kernel Panics and could not boot to her desktop even once. So I did the Archive and Intsall, but after 2.5 hours and using both Disc 1 and Disc 2 for the process (like it had asked for)...and it all finished, a welcome screen pops up after the OS launches prompting me to enter the computer name, and password. We have this information saved, and always have, but the iBook is not accepting them?? Any thoughts or suggestions on what we should do next? The options I have on this screen are (sleep, restart, shutdown, or login...with the name and password fields above) Thanks everyone. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Smartmediaman

    I did check those options to preserve the users and network prefs. Just put in the install disc 1 and ran change password, but the only option in the drop down was for the system administrator (root), and I put in a new password, and confirmed it, then...rebooted to desktop and same window popped up prompting me to enter the computer's username and password, and still...nothing worked. Any other ideas folks? Thanks,

  • Fingerprint Software won't work after re-installing

    I have uninstalled and re-installed the Fingerprint Reader, version 3.2.0.341 - 4/20/09.  When I try to enroll a fingerprint, I get the message from "Fingerprint Enrollment:  FPApp.exe - Unable To Locate Component" saying "This application has failed to start because css_banner.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
    I have re-installed, choosing repair, but I still get the error.  However, I see css_banner.dll in \Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Update:  I uninstalled version 3.2.0.341 and installed version 3.2.0.116.  I have the same problem.
    Message Edited by mhedstrom on 05-13-2009 11:38 AM
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've solved the problem:  I had to repair the Client Security Solution.
    I noticed that if I tried to open Client Security Solution, I got a similar error about css_banner.dll being missing, followed by a message that CSSLauncher.exe had encountered an error and would close.  So I decided that since the css_banner.dll is part of Client Security Solution, it made sense to try to reinstall or repair this application.  I downloaded version 8.2 from Drivers and Software and it offered a 'repair' choice.  After doing the repair, my Fingerprint Reader application worked.  I upgraded the Fingerprint Reader back to the new 4/20/09 3.2.0.341 version and that one seems to be working fine.

  • Facebook games won't work after Maverick install on MacBook Pro

    I just installed Maverick on my MacBook Pro, it is a mid 2009 model.  Ever since when I get on Facebook with Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, I can"t get any of the games to load.  Everything worked just fine last night before the install, but now I am at a loss as what to do to fix this problem, short of wiping the HD and starting back over in Snow Leopard.

  • Spotlight won't work after clean install

    I did a clean install of a 10-seat licence of 10.5 server on the primary partition of a Mac Mini. Logged in with the admin account (the only account), I cannot get Spotlight to find anything at all (even searching for something that it should find, like "Safari" just gets me "No Results Found").
    I've done software updates, re-booted, and repaired permissions. Any ideas?
    (On a side-note, I'm trying to find where the Weblog server stores media files; so if anyone can tell me that I'd appreciate it).

    I can't believe it , I've finally got Leopard on my brand new iMac, which was supposed to come with it pre-installed! A friend who has Leapord came over and saw my screen and icons and said, 'that doesn't look like Leopard, you should reinstall.' We did, and now everything works great (including printer, Bluetooth A2DP and Spotlight, which hadn't been working prior). Airport works, too, but it was working before thanks to the WPA fix. Somehow my Intel iMac, purchased in December from the San Francisco/Marina Mac Store, came with a faulty OS installation. I wasted soooo much time trying to fix it when I just needed to reinstall (w/o erasing my HD). Maybe this can help others having similar problems. Happy Mac-ing!

  • Apache won't work after 10.5.2 update

    Apache won't work, after I installed the 10.5.2 update.
    When I type the following in the terminal: sudo apachectl -t
    I get a error:
    /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 81: 711 Segmentation fault $HTTPD $ARGV
    Does anyone know how I can solve this?
    thank you!

    I too had the same problem after the auto update 10.5.2 - specifically the 2008-002 update broke my machine in a number of areas.
    I downloaded the package and ran it, this seems to have mopped up the problems caused my the first run.
    The update is located at:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/
    Look for 2008-002 (Leopard) it's about 50MB.
    Hope this works for you too.

    External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

    They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
    A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.
