How have G5 run Quicken Essentials on MacPro?

Hi,
I just learned that I cannot install Quicken Essentials on my wife's iMac G5 10.5.8 because requires the Intel architecture.
So, I installed Quicken on my MacPro 10.6.2. I have spent yesterday and today trying to figure out how my wife can login from her iMac G5 to my Mac Pro so that she can run Quicken on my MacPro. I created an account for her on my MacPro. But after all the Google searching and reading, I am more confused and frustrated.
I thought this would be easy because I incorrectly thought that Remote Desktop was built into Macs. I found the Apple Remote Desktop 3, but I have only 2 Macs, so ARD is too expensive.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Don

You can have her take control of your system via Screen Sharing built into Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. Search your Mac Help for "screen sharing" and you'll find information and instructions.
Note, though, that you cannot work on your computer simultaneously with her controlling your system and running her applications. Mac OS X (except for X11 and command-line applications) is strictly a one-user-at-a-time OS.
Hope this helps.

  • How best to run Quicken on iMac

    My PC went to it's final reward.  I would like to run Quicken 2011 and TurboTax on my iMac (OS 10.6.8)
    What would be the best solution?

    If you have both apps for Windows, you can install Windows on the Mac using Boot Camp > http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    If you have them for OS X, you can install them and use them without any problem on your Mac. Another option if you have both of them for Windows is to download or buy the OS X version if you don't want to install Windows

    Trying to figure out how I can transfer my MS based programs onto my new Mac Pro.  New to Apple

    Copy them from your old computer to your new one.
    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • How do i find quicken files on my computer? i was running quicken under fusion and just want the data files

    I was running quicken 2010 on my iMac using Fusion.  I upgraded to Lion and my version of Fusion is not capable of running on Lion.  I want to copy my Quicken data files onto portable medium but i can't seem to find them using Finder.  How can I find these files?

    As stated, the Quicken files are inside the virtual machine's "hard drive".  If you still have Fusion 3 installed, you might be able to mount the virtual hard drive directly:
    Mounting a virtual disk as a Mac OS volume
    The catch is that the version of MacFUSE that is installed with the version of Fusion you have may not be working on Lion.  If you're willing, you could update MacFUSE and the mounting of the virtual hard drive will work.
    Probably simpler to download and install Fusion 4.  It has a trial mode so if you just need to extract the Quicken documents, you'll be able to at least run the virtual machine for a few days.
    Note: If you do run your virtual machine in the trial, but are not planning to purchase Fusion 4, when prompted, do NOT upgrade your virtual machine.  If you do upgrade the virtual machine, you won't be able to start your virtual machine in older versions of Fusion.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

  • How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

    How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now.  Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

    Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
    For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
    I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

    Retail Leopard disc looks like this;
    (The disc itself has the same logo). If the one you've got is grey it simply won't work.
    Given the retail and second hand prices of Leopard (usually some on Amazon MP), you'll probably find it cheaper to go directly to Snow Leopard, although there could be software updates and printer driver problems that could nullify the difference.

  • How do I export a file from Numbers into Quicken Essentials?

    When I download data from AMEX it makes a download file. Until I installed numbers I could transfer this file to Quicken Essentials. Now the download file appears to be compatable with Numbers and creates a file there. The instructions to download from AMEX are to make a Quicken-compatible file. How did Numbers intervene?

    I would locate the file, then right click the file and select "Open With > Other…" :
    Then navigate to, and select Quicken.  Before closing the dialg be sure to check the "Always open with" checkbox :

  • 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.

  • When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken data to Quicken Essentials which has worked well for me until yesterday.  Now Quicken Essentials will not open the data file.  What happened?  How do I get back in?

    When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken files to Quicken Essentials.  That worked fine until yesterday.  Now I'm getting messages that there is not application to open the files, or that it just plain can't open the file.  What gives here?  What happened?  How can I get back in?

    Launch the Quicken application and try to open the file from there, if you haven't already. If that fails, and a simple restart of the computer doesn't help, try reinstalling the application. If that doesn't cure the problem, I would suggest you take this up in the Quicken Community:
    https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page
    or with Quicken support:

    You'll be most likely to get further help with your issue there.
