I am using Quicken Personal Finance Software 2007 for Mac

I am using Quicken Personal Finance Software on my Mac. I am running updated Mountain Lion. I entered all my information and brought my accounts all up to date. I quit Quicken and opened it again a couple days later and all information I entered was missing. This has happened 3 times now over the past 3 months, and each time I go back to November 2011 and re-enter ll the deposit, debits and reconcile. Each time when I reopen Quicken all information is back to 2011. Can anyone help me?

I can't see on their website that they have made a Mountain Lion compatible version, only Lion:
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/lion-compatible-quicken-mac-2007/GEN83769 .html
But this does say they expect it to be compatible:

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

Is there a good apple based alternative to the personal. finance software program "quicken for mac"? It is a poorly supported program.

I switched from Quicken on a Windows computer to iBank on a Mac. It is a very good program, has very good free download connections to financial institutions (optional), and very good reports. The only negative is that it is just different enough from Quicken that there is a learning curve and the first month or two were frustrating -- but that is likely true of anything that you might change to. http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/

What is the Best personal finance software for mac?

I was a quicken user years ago but they don't seem to have an updated version. Any suggestions?

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:

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.

What personal finance software works best with MacBook Air

My Quicken has crashed out and lost data one time too many. What is the best Apple friendly personal finance software to use with a MacBook?

One that I like and which has very similar capabilities to Quicken is iBank. It took me a couple of months to adopt to how they do things (after many years of using Quicken on a PC) but now I would never go back. They have a 30 day free trial also. http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/

Good question! When I looked this time last year on changing from PC to Mac there did not appear to be a Mac version. Either I missed something or things have changed.....

Anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system?

anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system on a mini?

The ability to retrieve a set of distinct values (across all nodes) for a given Property Definition is not a built-in capability.
However, you can add this capability, like this:
- find an external storage location for storing this data (basically a 1:m relationship from String propDef to propDefValue) -- see below for some ideas.
First, process existing nodes:
- for each property definition on the specified type:
- retrieve all nodes of that type (by iterating, or by query)
- for each node of that type:
- retrieve the property value
- check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it
- end for
- end for
Once this is complete, you only need to process new nodes:
- when node of the specified type is added, for each property definition:
- check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it.
You can construct your drop-down list from the external storage data.
Several ideas for the external storage location:
- unrestricted property choices on the associated PropertyDefinition on the ObjectClass.
- database table
- content nodes of a new type.

Can I download Quicken 2007 for MAC using Mountain lion

Downloaded MountainLion w/o checking what programs would be dropped. Turns out i cannot open my Quicken For Mac 2005
so need to find another system quickly

Intuit has an Intel native version of Quicken for Mac which should work. Do NOT purchase Quicken Essentials for Mac. This is a very watered down junk version of Quicken Intuit released with many of Quicken's features removed.
The hard part is finding the Intel updated version of Quicken 2007 for Mac. You'd swear Intuit is deliberately hiding it. Trying to locate it through Intuit's site is almost impossible. You keep getting sent to the Essentials version. Here's the one you would want. Had to locate the page through Google.

Is there a really good personal Financial software program for the iMac?

Looking for a very good Personal Finance software for the iMac?

I use iBank 5 and I've been quite happy with it. My needs are fairly modest, though, when it comes to that. All I really wanted was something to sync transactions between my Mac and iPhone to track checking accounts for day to day purchases.
I manage my portfolio separately the "old fashioned" way.
I don't know how it compares to the Windows version of Quicken, but there is a Mac version of Quicken (Quicken 2015) available in the app store.

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 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.

HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I cannot use Quicken on my new MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) Any suggestions? I love Quicken and it takes care of all my financial needs.

You can wait for Quicken to update (supposedly in the works) or you can switch to another application such as Quicken Essentials or another application of which there are several you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
Otherwise you'll need to return your MBA and buy a slightly older model Mac that still runs Snow Leopard. Lion will not run any PPC-only applications such as Qucken or MS Office 2004.

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.

Does Quicken 2007 for mac work with Mavericks?

Before I upgrade my Imac (2008) to Mavericks, I want to know if Quicken 2007 for Mac and Microsoft Office 2008 will work with Mavericks. Thanks in advance for any information.

Just a warning, however: it doesn't work as well. I've had several crashes when I attempted to edit an already saved transaction (no data lost, apparently, besides the changed transaction), and frequently the header with all the account buttons, etc. will not appear when waking the computer (2007 Intel MacBook Pro) up from a long sleep. Annoying, but not fatal. At least Intuit hasn't totally given up on the Mac world.
