How do I convert Quicken for Windows files to Quicken Essentials?

I have a large Quicken for Windows investment account on a virtual PC at my old office that I need to transfer to Quicken for Mac at my home. I only want to transfer the investment information and do not use Quicken for banking. I have installed Quicken Essentials on my Mac. I have the info that needs to be transferred on a disk. Please advise any hints/suggestions to make sure all the data is transferred. Thanks.

Quicken is not an Apple product. I suggest you post your question on the Quicken forums since it's their software you're wondering about.

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?

How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?
I tried exporting the file from Quick Time to my desktop, but the file extension reads as .m4v - is that compatible with other pc?

The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do.

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file?

How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file? I know that you "Print to File" but for some reason that is not working for me. I have Adobe Reader X, shouldn't that be able to create a PDF like this, or is there another program that I need to do this? Thanks.

Hi, gfrerichs.
Reader X cannot create a PDF file - it can only view and print existing PDF files.
In order to create a PDF file (for example, print a webpage as a PDF, as you mentioned), you can purchase our CreatePDF service. This service includes a CreatePDF Printer which can print web pages to PDF.
Or you could purchase Acrobat, which can also convert webpages to PDF.

Can Quicken for Windows work on a Mac w/Lion installed using Parallels?

I've never used Parallels but am panicking with the phaseout of the already anemic Quicken for Mac 2007. Has anybody used the more powerful Windows version of Quicken on a Mac through Parallels or some other PC emulator? And will it work with Lion?
Appreciate whatever help you can provide.

Many people run Windows on their Macs for just such reasons, and while I have not myself run Quicken for Windows, I've seen a number of reports from people who do and they've reported no problems that one would not encounter on a standard Windows system. The latest version of Parallels is working fine for me under Lion.
There are also other banking applications that do work on Lion, iBank 4 as an example, and at least some of those can import Quicken files. And of course there's Quicken Essentials for Mac, if that limited feature set would work for you. So you have several options for replacing Quicken for Mac.
Regards.

Does anyone run VPC and Quicken for Windows?

If you are like me, I do not think the Mac version of Quicken is good at all.
Does anyone use Quicken for Windows and VPC?
If so, how does it run?

Yes, you really have to define what your needs will be and determine if it is cost-effective and reliable enough for you. In my situation, the software (VPC) allows me to run work apps that are only available in Windows 2000 & XP. Those work fine. I can use my Powerbook for almost all my Mac and Windows stuff. The fact that I already had Quicken 2005 for Windows made it a simple matter of pulling out the disk and running the installer. That said, there are good alternatives to Quicken, such as the one mentioned earlier. I like the Mvelopes program, a web-based alternative that works well with Firefox on the Mac. I checked out MoneyDance and it looks very good, though many of my financial institutions were not listed for on-line banking.
