I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8?

I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8 and not keep all data?

I am new to the Apple Support community but am hopeful that you can help me!!  I have just bought a MacBook Air, migrated my stuff and found that my Quicken for Mac 2005 is no longer supported. (I still have my Quicken 2005 working on my Mac OS X - Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard?)  I saw a thread of communications back in 2012/13 where you helped a lot of people find ways to get their 2005 data into new versions - something about a $15 purchase.  However, I can't find those discussions again.  AND I don't know if they are 'relevant' because I'm now using the latest Yosemite, which someone just told me to upgrade for free....But this same person told me to switch to iBank, which others who have used Quicken for years didn't like.  I'd just as soon stay with Quicken but it seems like they have less support for Mac users.  Do you think I can move my data successfully still?  I live and work overseas and leave the USA on Monday and am trying to leave my older MacBook Air (the one with my 2005 Quicken on it) here....
Thanks for any advice.

    How can I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8? I cannot find in in the Apple Store. Thanks.

    As of now you can upgrade to Yosemite, but not to Mavericks, at the App Store.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • Can't upgrade to Mavericks from 10.7.5 (Mid-09 MBP)

    Hey all,
    Having a bit of a debacle here.
    My MBP had the hard drive cable go kaputz, so I replaced it, then reloaded 10.6 back onto it. I was running Mavericks beforehand.
    Well, I had my old HDD ghosted and all of my content is on my new drive, including my apps that are now set to 10.9, so I went to the app store, downloaded 10.9, tried installing it, and now it says "Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer."
    Thought it was a Snow Leopard issue so I went to my previous purchases, installed Lion, and now it's giving me the exact same message.
    I know my MBP can run it. ****, I had it as my OS for 4 months. What gives?
    Thanks in advance.

    Instead of downloading from the App Store, try OS X Recovery.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to reinstall OS X.

  • Can you upgrade to mavericks from older versions besides Mountain Lion?

    Previously, since they were paid, you had to pay your way up to the second-most recent one to upgrade to the most recent one.
    However, since Mavericks is free, are you allowed to go from say 10.6 to 10.9, skipping the fee for 10.8 and 10.7?
    EDIT: I now know you can jump from 10.7 to 10.9. Can you jump from 10.6 to 10.9?

  • I can not upgrade to Maverick from the App store

    Though it is available for me to download.  My specs are: MacBook c. 2010, OS X Lion 10.7.5, 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM and 48GB free.  Is there aay for me to know what I am missing? Why it won't install?

    That could be one of two models with that designation. Neither of which will accept Mavericks.

  • Can I upgrade to Maverick from OSX 10.7?

    I havent upgraded to Mountain Lion
    Will I be able to upgrade to Mavericks - i.e. skip Mountain
    Thanks

    You probably will, but it'll also depend on the hardware requirements of Mavericks. And we don't know those until Apple announces them.

  • PROBLEMS WITH QUICKEN FOR MAC 2007

    Anyone else upgrade to Lion only to find that Quicken 2007 for Mac won't work?  Apparently Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 was originally built for the older PowerPC architecture, and were able to run on newer Intel-based Macs due to an Apple technology called Rosetta. As of Mac OS X 10.7, Apple has discontinued support for Rosetta.
    Intuit is telling me it is an Apple problem.  They also say I can buy Parallels and Quicken for Windows to convert the files and recover all my data.

    iBank is an application that runs fine under Lion, so it may be able to at least partially migrate the data.
    Otherwise the data files themselves have not been modified by the upgrade, though it's unclear what you would migrate them to.
    Worst case, you could always downgrade to Snow Leopard or create a Snow Leopard boot disk, and export your files from Quicken for use in say Quicken for Windows.
    Here's one of many articles for people in your situation:
    Finding a Replacement for Quicken
    Though it's very limited in scope, Quicken Essentials may even do the trick for you if you just use Quicken as an e-checkbook register.

  • Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

    Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials.  Obviously this is not an option for many.  I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.
    Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4?  Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

    Just to add to the thread..
    As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
    I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
    I am looking for the following features:
    Check Printing
    Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
    Custom Reports
    Memorized Reports
    Scheduled Transactions
    I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
    Sure would appreciate some advice!
    Many thanks!

  • Can quicken for Mac run on Lion?

    Will Quicken for MAC 2007 run on the new Lion OS?

    Another nail in the coffin of iDisk and MM, just one of the reasons I use Quicken 2007 and the mac, I can keep an offsite backup of my quicken files on the iDisk using quickens own backup utility, suppose that will have to change anyway so may as well be sooner rather than later.
    Does iBank work in other currencies than USD ?

    I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac.  I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC.  How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?

    I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
    working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
    someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
    query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
    not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
    working:
    td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
    $row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
    $_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
    Customer</a></td>
