How do I transfer my Quicken 2004 data from old MacBook to new Imac with Mountain Lion

I want to transfer my Quicken 2004 (upgraded to 2006) data from MacBook running OSX 10.5.8 to new Imac running Mountain Lion with Quicken 2007 Lion. How do I do this? I thought from what I've read on line that all I needed to do was upgrade the quicken to 2006 and then the data would be readable by Quicken 2007 Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK: This information is VERY helpful! Note my comments below:

Here is what I'm doing step by step:
Open Quicken 2006 (it did automatically convert the Quicken 2004 data) -- GOOD!
Do not do these steps
I went to File> Export> All
Named the file "Copy of Quicken Data.qif" and saved it to the desktop of my MacBook.
At this point if I send the file as is it would not open on the other end saying that Power PC apps are not supported.
I discovered that if I go to File> Get Info in the Finder window before I send it and change the setting "Open with" from "Preview" to "Quicken 2006", that the file would be recognized by the new computer.
Compress the converted Quicken 2006 data file by Control-Clicking on the converted Quicken 2006 data file and it should save with a .zip extension.
Send the automatically converted and compressed Quicken 2006 data file with the zip extension I send it to myself via email as an attachment, I save the attachment to the desktop of the Imac. Uncompress it by double-clicking it.
I open Quicken 2007 Lion
Go to File>Open File... Import>From QIF
Select the converted and uncompressed Quicken 2006 data file attachment that you saved to the desktop of the iMac and then uncompressed. "Copy of Quicken Data.qif"
It begins to download, then I get a warning
"Quicken is unable to import "Copy of Quicken Data.qif" becasue the transaction displayed below is too large... it goes on to say that there is possibly too much text in the split line detail etc.
It should open in Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion
Thanks for your time, any insights would be much appreciated.

How can I sync Exchange/GroupWise calendar with Mountain Lion and iOS 6.1?

On my iPhone I have defined the GroupWise server and I'm receiving every calendar events but it doesn't sync to my computer.
Any idea why and how to fix it?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

I have two apple id's how do I delete the one that I can't remember the password to?

I have 2 apple id's - when I try to update my apps the old apple id comes up. Essentially, I changed internet carriers so the old one is cox.net and the active one is verizon.net.
How do I erase the cox.net one? I cannot for the life of me remember the password.

Apps/purchases will ALWAYS be tied to the account from which they were purchases and will always need to be updated using that account.

ICloud deleted my contacts but i can still see them when i search for them when im texting... how do i get my contacts back?

I tried out iCloud today and it took away all my contacts...and no i did not set up time machine
when i searched online to see what the problem was all i got was "back up the device" or "turn the contact button off and on in iCloud and then hit merge"
I did all of that but my Wi-Fi at my college ***** whale so i cant "merge" my contacts even though im pretty sure backed it up already 2 times with the contacts switch in the on position meaning that my contacts must be gone...
but theres hope when i was texting i searched a name in the "contact search bar" and all my contacts are still there!
soo someone please help me get to the next step for getting them back before i go insane! thanks!

this just rearanges the icons in the same order but with the screen still set up with only 16 icons an the bottom 4 (muisc mail...) missing are there any other ways i can get them back?

Please help me! I imported my pics to iphoto but I can't open them now. I can't see them on full Screen/edit them like before. All I get is a exclamation mark when I double click on them. I don't have copies, can someone please help me?

I imported all my pics to Iphoto and I can't open/edit them now. When I double click on them, I only get an exclamation mark. Please help me I don't have copies. I tried burning them to a cd but it didn't work. Can someone please help me?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

What ever happened to buy it download it and it stays on the hard drive? The other day 8 tv series and 7 movies that i had previously purchaed had disappeared from itunes.

Hi smonkey123,
There are several ways you can try syncing your iPod to the music in iTunes on your new computer. They are detailed in this article -

How can I re-run setup assistant with mountain lion?

I have run the setup assistant on my MacBook Pro but now realize that I'd rather run the setup assistant again in order to transfer the contents of my old mac to the new one.
There are a few suggestions out on the web but none have worked for me.

To transfer files from an old Mac, open Migration Assistant and follow its steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

HT4796 System information shows files on my brand new MBP that I can't see anywhere in Finder?

I'm brand new to Mac's. Very good with PC's but don't know my way around these machines very well. Bought a brand new pro today and started to do migration assistant at startup to transfer my itunes music and films from my windows pc to my mac over my network. I left it for 15 minutes and the bar didn't even move (transferring like 60gb) so I thought screw this and cancelled it on my pc (can't cancel on mac) and that canceled it on my mac too. I started over to just do my music as that's all that I really needed (10GB). Again it took too long so I canceled and thought I'd do it later and continued to set up my new mac. I then went into about this mac and under storage it says I have a load of files (below) but I can't find anything in Finder so where are they and are they some of my files that transferred over before I cancelled or are they system files (seems excessive to me to have over a gig of audio)
Also when I go into finder and show all my files all I can see is this
so where are all them files?
Not tech savvy with Mac at all btw but I will be soon as I learn fast and am generally very good with computers

No, it is normal. As I have said, there is a large quantity of system files that come with your mac. 1.22gb of music covers default ringtones, alert sounds, etc. 5gb of apps covers the default applications included with your mac. The movies and photos are probably icons and other media included in applications. You really have nothing to worry about.
If this was a decade ago you would and should worry, however things seem to be progresively getting larger.

I can hardly see calendar alerts on macbook. How do I get it back to where I can easily see them?

I have a macbook pro 17" bought in 2011 running OS X Yosemite Processor 2.3GHZ Intel Core i7, Memory 8GB 1333MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512MB.
For the last two days my calendar alerts and notifications are appearing so light that I can hardly see them. How do I get them to show up so I can see them? I have no idea how this started. I have tried looking at Notification Center on System Preferences and changed them from Alert to Banner but it made no difference.
Thanks for your help.

With respect, you actually cannot store folders on the left side of the Dock - only on the right side. I wonder if you're talking about Launchpad, which looks like a silver rocket and shows you your installed applications? It's not actually a shortcut to the Applications folder, though. You can certainly drag Launchpad into the left side of the Dock from the Applications folder.

HOW CAN I SEE THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE WITH FINDER?

Hi Folks,
I need an help. How can I see everything in my hdd, the exact content of it, using Finder and not an 'easy view'? For example, in the hdd root there are folders like 'tmp', 'var', 'usr' and so on but I can't see them from Finder just using the command prompt. How can I do?
Thanks in advance.
LS

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
tell app "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
delay 2
tell app "Finder" to run
This script will not allow you to access anything which is set not to be readable by your user account. The /dev/ folder on the startup disk is hardcoded to be hidden to the GUI and cannot be revealed in the Finder by this or any other method. To turn it off, replace the 1 with a 0.

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
or
Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6." Select that.
Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
It is included in your CC subscription.
However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore. A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file). I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it. But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

TS1702 How do I delete an app that hasn't fully downloaded?

How do I delete an app that hasn't fully downloaded?

If Demo's suggestion doesn't work, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
