Home finance program

Does anyone know a home finance program that works with Snow Leopard. I understand that Quicken Essentials has received low ratings. I am looking for a basic program.

I started out with Quicken on a PC about ten years ago. When I moved to Mac, I found the Mac version severely lacking. Still, I stuck with it and its dated OS9 feel for another year before giving up (I really wanted Intuit to publish a decent Mac version of this app).
I switched to iBank, and after a few months of constant, unnecessary software patches and sluggish register entry response, I was ready to switch back.
Intuit finally released Quicken 2007 for Mac, which looks a tiny bit more Aqua, but is still the same stripped-down, half-baked version of the Windows application Quicken users have come to know and love. What's more, when I try to register my new Quicken 2007, I get constant server errors. And checking the quicken.com boards for Mac-related help is like waiting for Godot.
But, for all it's quirks and brutish lack of Tigerian or Leopardian style, Quicken really is still the best app for personal finance on the Mac, and that's not saying much. Every other app I've tried (and I tried several) came up severely lacking in comparison.
You'd think those greedy bloodsuckers at Intuit would be falling all over themselves to port a graphically rich version of their flagship software to Mac -even if it is only for another 10% market share. I guess we'll just have to keep holding our breath.

Home finance software recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good home finance program? I've read poor reviews of Money and Quicken. I am currently using iBank and hate it. Are there any others?
Thank you!

Finance Programs

I am looking for the right finance tracking program to use on my Mac. The problem is that I have the business records in MS Money for Small Business 2005 in my office and I need to work with them away from the office on my Mac.
Is there a program for Mac that will convert the Money files to an equivalent program in Mac?
Will Quicken or Quickbooks convert PC files to Mac Quicken if I change to Quicken on the PC?
I can't use remote, the internet is not available at the office.
I couldn't find MS Money for Mac, but if it exists, will it convert the files from PC to Mac?
By the way, I have also converted from PC to Mac for the first time within the last 2 months and I am learning my way around it. So far, so good with most of the applications. I won't go back to Windows unless I have to (such as for work)!
Thanks for any and all help I can get.

Brian,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. Having said that, the Pages forum is the wrong place to get info about finance programs. I'd recommend going to the newsgroup comp.sys.mac.apps. I've had very good luck getting my non-Apple software problems solved there.

What is the best home finance support for mac?

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?

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.

Business and Finance program??

Im not sure if Im posting this question in the right section, but what they heck!
I need to know what is the best finance program to do simple accounting work on a Mac? Is there a free program that I can download (similar to NeoOffice) or do I have to buy the best software?
Hope someone can help me out

Impossible to answer, as only you know what you want/need to do.
You could try looking in VersionTracker or MacUpdate to see what applications are on offer.
For simple business accounting work I would invest in MYOB or Excel.

Home users program

I purchased and downloaded MS Office 2010 through the home users program about 2 years ago. My hard drive recently crashed and I needed to reinstall all of my programs. I no longer have the confirmation email that was sent to me with my purchase.
Is there still a way with my order # or something to help me get MS office 2010 back on my system?

Mac personal finance program...help!

I have recently switched from a pc to a mac...the only problem i'm having is finding a mac finance program that is comparable to quicken for pc. The feature i most need but cannot find is the ability to enter multiple manual transactions by just hitting enter in between..i have tried quicken essentials, moneywiz and now Ibank...none have this feature..
does anyone know of a program that does have this feature???
thank you!

Hi Erika,
Intuit has a version of Quicken 2007 that is compatible with Lion,
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
Perhaps it will have the feature that you are looking for. As a long-time Quicken for Mac user, the current situation is frustrating. Intuit has allowed it's Mac personal finance products to fall far behind their Windows counterparts. Alternatives, like iBank, are getting better but still don't offer all the features of Quicken 2007.

Home finance software help

hello i am very new mac user switching from windows, all our finances are on microsoft money. Does apple have a program already installed in the tiger ver 10.4.2? is there a program any one can recommend? I need to be able to print checks. Thanks!

Hi alasalla,
Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Look for Quicken 2005 in your Applications folder. Quicken has also been bundled with the 'consumer' Macs since the Performa series (mid 1990s) or earlier, but I don't know if it is included in the 'professional' machines (such as your PowerBook.)
If not, check the Made4Mac software guide on this site. Click the  tab above, then the Made4Mac link in the bar below the tabs. Click Home and Recreation in the menu on the left, then the Accounting and Finance radio button in the list. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Find Software.
This forum is dedicated to Apple's productivity application, AppleWorks, which is available as a retail item, and is bundled with current 'consumer' Macs (iMac and iBook and the Mac Mini). You might find further results by posting your question in the PowerBook section of the Discussions.

All of Office 2010 Student and Home Edition Programs open as Microsoft Single Image instances since Installing Outlook 2013

Office 2010 Student and Home Edition has been running without problems on my PC since 2012. Recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2013 (The version of Office 2010 did not include Outlook), since then, every time I open any of the original Office 2010 Programs
eg XCEL, WORD, POWER POINT, ONE NOTE, the program opens in 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' which appears to have to be installed every time any of the programs are opened. The Installation process takes anything up to a few minutes to complete and sometimes
when filing or printing a document, the install restarts, on occasions, in an endless loop which requires random,imaginative keystroke action to terminate. The program shortcut icons all point to the 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' application, I have
not succeeded in finding where the original programs are located as a quick way of trying to fix the problem.
The new installation of Outlook 2013 opens normally.
Evidently, the Outlook 2013 installation has disturbed the 2010 licensing or something ellse, can this unintended change be reversed?
Short of a complete Un-install + Re-Install, I have tried every straightforward repair/ change (run All on my computer)/ enter product code etc option, all to no avail.
I have read of variations on the same problem relating to mixing Office 2003/ 2007, cases of Outlook 2013 starting up in a similar way, but no examples of the specific problem outlined above. The next step
is a complete Un-install + re-install of Office 2010, is this the answer or do I need to go further? Indeed, is there a quick fix?

Hi,
The Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 is a set of tools, documentation, and product files that licensed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can use to preload Office on new computers for distribution to end users.
I would suggest you to try the methods listed in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2528748/en-us Just run the Fix-It tool mentioned in the page, or follow the steps to fix it by yourself.
A similar issue is discussed here, you might have a look:

Support pack level issue in Standard Finance Program.

Hi Everyone,
                i have an issue which is related to Finance. Actually, Finance People are Using a Standard Report (FS10N) - GL Account Line item display. There,Vendor and Customer Details are not displayed (Customer/Vedor Filed is empty) for the normal GL Account. But for the Reconsalation GL accounts they are able to see.
               For this issue SAP released an SNOTE 1107639 and correction delivered in SAP_APPL support pack 12.And we already applied it in the system and our current SAP_APPL level is 14. Though it is already available why the problem is still persist. Another thing is, for the same issue there is another SNOTE 1034354 which guides to enhancement thro' some BADI work in standard program.
              My question is that if the correction is available in a patch and that is imported as well in to system without any error then it should resolving the problem.but in this case why it does not work out or what could be the reason behind this. As a Basis admin i would like to know.
Thanks&Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,
Your query is obsolutely acceptable...
After supportpack update some times database will not be synchronised with the new updates.
and more over it seems there is a complete issue with SAP side.... there is only one option in u r hand now just restart the system.but please make sure to take the down time...and check whether the correction is working or not..if not then no luck u need to contact SAP global team and ask them why the corrections are not working properly..
Regards,
Srini

I have been using MS Money for years and would like to use the previous data on an equivalent Apple software. Is there a financial management program for Mac? And can you transfer MS data across?

The only Mac finance app I know of that imports MS Money files is My Money by MTH Inc. You can locate it in the App Store. There is a free (limited) version to try before committing yourself. I am afraid I can't comment on how good it is.
There are others too (iBank 5, Money by Jumsoft etc.) but none seem to mention compatibility with MS Money files.

I just bought a used XP Home Edition program that has been installed before. Will I be able to install this again on my computer or is it only a one time use software? I have the Product Key and CD.

I just bought a used XP Home Edition software program that has been installed before. I have the Product Key and installation disc. Will I be able to install it on my own computer? Or, is this software (purchased retail) a one time install? Please advise.

Depends on many things.
If your system is Lion, XP can only be installed under VM. BootCamp in Lion only accepts Windows 7.
As to "one use only", if you are referring to OEM ...
A reinstall can trigger the OS to "not register" because "a major component serial number or MAC (the network MAC chip) address" has changed, according to MS databases.
But you can call MS to get the key reactivated, usually/sometimes. It is worth a try, at least, before spending money on another Windows 7 package. But this discussion should end *now* at "maybe" as it treads close to matters that forum Terms-of-Use would prefer we not discuss.
