Best personal finance app for mac?

I'm looking for the best finance app for my iMac. I'm most interested in tracking my accounts -- banking and investments. I'd like to have the software on my two iMacs and on 2 MacBooks without purchasing the product 4 times. Budgeting function is not a great need as I'm retired. I've been using Quicken for Windows.

Why not stay with Quicken and use Quicken for Mac? I searched the support site for you and found that you will be licensed for three installations with one purchase. So, unless you can forego quicken on one computer, you will have to purchase two copies.

What is the Best personal finance software for mac?

I was a quicken user years ago but they don't seem to have an updated version. Any suggestions?

Updated for what? Home accounting principles are pretty much the same now as they were in 2007: Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $15 here:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
I would still be using my Quicken Deluxe 2002 if it did not require Rosetta, which is no longer included in OS X since Lion.

Any recommendations for personal finance tracking/reporting software?
I've used Quicken and Bento but wonder if there isn't some easier way to keep track of credit cards, cash, income, checks, etc.
Thanks.

Some often recommended include iBank (which I use and am quite satisfied with), MoneyDance and, if your needs are very modest, Quicken Essentials. Intuit has promised a version of Quicken 2007 that will run under Lion sometime this spring, but I've not seen any more specific date.

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

Hi- I am new to owning a Mac. I have had ipad and iphone for years. Does anyone have suggestions for best home finance software? I have been looking at Ibank 5 as an option. Any concerns with this software?

Best finance app for iPad and macbook

Any suggestions?

No. Apps for Mac do not run on iPad. The same is true of iPad apps. They cannot run on Mac. Different Operating systems.
Unless the developer of the App offers a code to get an iPad app in the purchase of the Mac version or something like that, you would indeed have to purchase the iPad version separately.

What is the best personal finance/checkbook app for the MacBook Pro that syncs with the iPad?

I would not use a Microsoft OS to do this. If you are concerned about the security of your info over WiFi I suggest you not make use of Mac OS. Recent headlines show that they are considering hiring Windows Vista security persons to beef up theirs.
Vista?! I can see for miles and so can everybody else.

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

What is the best word processing program for mac?

What is the best word processing program for Mac?

That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
Academic?
Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

Cool Apps. for Macs

I just purchased my first mac a macbook pro about a month ago and i was wondering what are the best applications to download for a mac? What do these applications do and where they can be found? I have seen a lot of cool apps for macs but i just don't know which ones are worth downloading and i will have he most fun with. Thank you very much. I cant wait to get your suggestions.

Again, the problem with your question is that it's too broad: You're like a guy standing in front of a carpenter, a plumber and an electrician and saying: Look I got a great new toolbox, what cool tools should I get? And the first thing those guys are going to say is: What's the job you're trying to do? A woodsaw ain't much help for cutting pipe?
So FileMaker Pro is a great database app. Explore it to the fullest. You'll master it in about a year. See the problem?
i would like for image editing. I want apps that will make my mac more fun to use daily.
Image Editing
iPhoto is on your Mac. You can use external editors with it:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Other photo apps worth looking at:
PhotoPresenter is an excellent slideshow app.
If you want to make slideshow movies: iMovie, PhotoToMovie, Final Cut Express are all excellent for the job - they're arranged in price order there too.
Budapest Sculptures was made using Final Cut Express
There are a multitude of online tutorials, forums and whatever on digital photography - google them. Again, that's another year of your life used up
Regards
TD
