Converting quicken to my mac

I have quicken 2008 on my old toshiba and would like to upgrade and transfer to my mac book pro? How do I do this or is there an apple equivalent?

Converting Quicken Windows to Mac

I've followed the instructions on Intuit's site, and continue to get error messages when uploading the Transaction QIF file into Quicken for Mac.
Invalid QIF Header: Type:@N|
Invalid QIF Header: Type i (but with a Spanish accent over the i)
If anyone has run into this and fixed it, or has additional pointers on making this switch, please advise!

This is one of those cases where I'd stick with the Windows version and run VMWare Fusion or Parallels. When I switched to the Mac from WinTel machines about the time the Intel-based Mac's came out, I maintained a Windows machine solely for Quicken. It was obvious that the Mac version was an afterthought to Intuit and it still remains a poor stepchild to the Windows version. The moment there were reliable VMs available to enable the Mac to run Windows applications under a VM, I simply installed the Windows version of Quicken into my Windows XP virtual machine (VMWare now, but Parallels at the beginning) and have continued to use it to this day. With more than 15 years' worth of data collected in Quicken, I wasn't about to risk data loss making the transition to a well-documented file-incompatible system. When Intuit decides to make the Mac and Windows versions identical and use the same data files, then I'll switch to a Mac version. Until then, it is no sweat for me to run the Windows version.

Quicken 2007 investment data transfer to Quicken Essentials for Mac

Will my 10 plus years of investment data transfer from Quicken 2007 for Windows to Quicken Essentials for Mac without loss of data?

There is a version of Quicken 2007 for Lion and Mountain Lion available. If you own Quicken 2007 for Mac, it is a US$15 upgrade.
Many Users balked at the loss of capabilities in having to move to Quicken Essentials, and Quicken eventually came around and "ported" Quicken 2007 so that it could run on 10.7 and later. I run it and it mostly works, but for tax estimates, they force you to their online tax estimator or suggest you buy their stand-alone product that will accept tax info from Quicken -- no more ballpark estimates from inside Quicken.

It appears the conversion from Quicken for PC is incomplete, and requires generation of a QIF file which is then imported:

Converting PC docs to Mac

How do I convert MS Works (pc) files to my new imac??

You have several options--don't pay attention to the person who thinks and says "you don't"
You can download and use NeoOffice for free, which can open the works files--then you can save them as a .doc format to use with Word. If you don't want to buy Word, you can just se NeoOffice for your office needs.
I have the same problem--I tried to get my dad to use Word, but he was used to Works--so all of his files from the past decade are works files. Now that he has a Mac, I have him using Word.
What I don't know is if I can get a converter for Microsoft Word:Mac so that I don't have to convert them manually--or if I can convert them all at once, instead of doing them one at a time. I have a lot of Works files to convert, so I don't want to have to do each one individually.
If I find anything else, I'll post it here.
Anyone else know of anything better?

Converting file from a mac to pc?

How do I convert files from a Mac to a PC

Are you talking about Data files such as Microsoft Office etc? Picture files such as Jpegs?
Depending on what you are talking about, you may not even need to convert them. Please provide specific details.

Converting Pagemaker 7.0 mac platform to indesign cs pc platform

Is it possible to convert a file from mac platform pagemaker 7.0 to the pc plateform Indesign CS?

If possible, it is a good practice to open the PM file in PageMaker. Make sure all links are up-to-date. Make sure all fonts are present. Do a Save-As for good measure. And aferwards open the file in InDesign. InDesign will open and convert to an InDesign document which you thereafter save.

Corrupt Data File Quicken 2007 for Mac (Lion)

Bought QM 2007 for Mac (Lion compatible) and without touching my personal data file, opened a new file and immediately got the "...corrupt data in data file" message. I've tried everything I could find including: trashing the Quotes file, my old Quicken 2006 app, removing any 3vix files, intuit preferences, etc. Nothing helped. I then ran QM2007 on Snow Leopard with my old data file, and after trashing the Quotes file, it worked. So I saved this file and transfered it to my Lion machine, trashed the quotes file. Same error, ...data corrupted. Thinking it's my Lion machine, I opened it in Safe mode...no help. Created a new account...no help. Imported .qif file..no help. I've searched the Quicken forum...no help. I'm very desparate; anyone have any ideas?
Mac OS X 10.7.5, Mac Pro (2012), Quicken 2007 for Mac (Lion) 16.1.4.

Thanks, Baltwo. I'm convinced it's something about my Lion installation that's the cause, since others as yourself seem to be OK—although I haven't been able to run it down. The Quicken 2007 is a fresh installation, each time I try out a new approach, I reinstall the software. Now perhaps it's accumulating some ancillary file that doesn't get trashed, but I can't run that down. I did find something interesting in my systematic search for a cause, and that is that when i install it on my Snow Leopard machine, it works fine with a new, unpopulated data file. But if I re-index my Q 2006 file, trash my Quotes file, then import it into QM 2007, the "corrupt data error" comes up. So I know everything (the QM 2007-Lion) works in Snow Leopard without prior re-indexing the data file, just not in Lion. So I saved my data file that worked in the Snow Leopard version (so it's now a QM 2007-Lion file), try to open it on my Lion machine with a new QM 2007-Lion install, and the corrupt data error appears. As I said above, opening in Safe mode, creating a new account, running my disk through Disk Utility and fixing permissions, nothing has worked so far.
So I bit the bullet and created a Snow Leopard virtual machine (Server version) with my Parallels, and it finally works, including downloading my investment, credit card, etc. accounts. Now I can move on with my taxes, but I'm still perplexed why Lion won't let me run it. I don't like my SL VM because Parallels won't permit coherence, so it's kind of kludgy.
That's my story after many hours of troubleshooting. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Thanks for trying to help.

Quicken: PC to Mac conversion

It seems from many of the threads that the Mac version of Quicken is nothing like the PC version and that importing PC Quicken data into Mac version is problematic.
Looking for feedback on which scenario is preferable:
1. Continue to run Quicken on PC through 12/31 then switch to a Mac friendly product;
2. Purchase Quicken for Mac and import pre existing data.
All ideas welcome and thank you.

You are asking this in a forum about iWork Numbers so you may not get many responses.

Convert Windows ipod to mac; Can I go back?

I read the following on Apple's knowledge info.
"You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
Now my question is if I convert a windows ipod to a mac ipod and then can I go back later and convert it from a mac ipod back to a pc ipod?
Has anyone done it successfully? I understand it isn't officially supported.

If I use my daughter's PC (with iTunes & iPod software) to configure the iPod to be formatted to accept the PC data, I need to "reset" the iPod.
You mean to restore the iPod. Restore and reset are quite different operations.
This will erase everything which is no problem as I have all the music on my Mac and can reinstall - or can I?
Yes, you can.
When resetting the iPod on the PC does that operation make that PC the "master" and cause the iPod to want to be connected to it for updates of songs?
After you restore the iPod on the PC, it makes the PC the master.
Will that cause the iPod to think my Mac is not its "master" computer?
Yes, it will.
To use an iPod between these 2 computers and allow the iPod to be readable by both the Mac and the PC, you should restore the iPod using the PC and set the iPod to manual update. Check this: Using iPod with multiple computers

Is there an application to convert VOB files to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

Is there an application to convert VOB files to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and if there is how do you convert.

VOB files are video files. Tiger is an operating system. Converting video files to Tiger frankly doesn't make sense. Can I convert a Beethoven symphony into a toothbrush?
What is your actual goal in this? You can play VOB files with VLC, and there is still a Tiger version of that. Converting to another format is harder since usually when you are working with VOB files you are doing higher end video editing.
If you goal is to convert commercial DVDs you have ripped, don't bother asking. Discussing that is against the terms of use of this site since ripping commercial DVDs is illegal in the USA and some other countries.

You can use the adaptor that came with your device. They work in the UK. You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor, however. You can buy them at most AAA travel outlets, computer stores, or buy Apple's World Travel Kit.

Quicken 2007 for mac qif files

My MBP (original 2006) died without having a chance to transfer quicken files via quicken 2007 for mac. Now I find that I cannot run quicken 2007 on my new mbp (late 2011). I have everything backed up on time machine but no where to run the the quicken program to do an export. Want to get away from Quicken. Can I, from time machine, export my quicken files to GIF? Any help for suggestions would be appreciated. I live in a little town in Montana and don' know of anyone who has an older mbp that I use.

Wikipedia explains DS_Store files more thoroughly. It might not be anything now looking at it. The software such
Applejack
EaseUS CleanGenius (formerly known as MacCleaning)
Diablotin System Optimizer
Maintain
Macaroni
Mac Pilot
Onyx
Yasu
Spring Cleaning
MacKeeper
Are all risky to use on machines without a backup. If none of them sound familiar, then your issue is somewhere else.

Can't expand Quicken 2007 for Mac updates

I've downloaded new updates for Stuffit Expander, but I cannot get my updates for Quicken 2007 for Mac to expand and open up. I get the pop-up message "Stuffit archives are not supported."
Where should I start looking for answers to this problem?

I did install the new updates for Stuffit Expander.
I ended up opening Stuffit first, then I opened the Quicken update files. The Quicken files loaded and updated the application.
Quicken's updated. It doesn't function any better than it did before, but it's updated, thanks.

Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
From Windows to Mac?
We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
---Timothy

The problem looks like this:
1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
3. We log into the server from Windows.
4. We try to pull his data from the server.
During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.
