Installed OSX 10.7Lion. Quicken not compatable. Is uninstall possible?

Just upgraded to OSx Lion 10.7 and find that Quicken 2007 won't open as Lion does not support it. Quicken advises that it does not yet have Quicken for Lion but is working on it. Meantime I am stuck as I use Quicken all the time. I am wondering if it is possible to uninstall Lion using the Snow Leopard install CD. At present, Lion is a disaster and I'd like to get rid of it and go back to Snow Leopard. Apple really screwed up with this one.

Well I guess it is all in the beholder. I did a free trial of iBank and found it to be incompatible with most financial institutions. The only why you can obtain your banking/investment account information is to export it from those companies web base site. I'm not the most sophisticated financial person, but I have found Essentials to handle my needs well. One click on the update icon and all 8 of my accounts are update.

After installing OSX Lion I am not able to find my preference files

I am having troubles with iCal and iPhoto since installing OSX Lion so I went to trash my preference files in user/library/etc but find no Library folder and within a folder called Clean Library/preferences there are no preferences files as in the past. Any clues?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button on the keyboard.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Unable to re install osx after erasing HD on iMac

Hi
I have a 2007 iMac 4,1 Intel core duo 2ghz that refused to boot after crashing.
After much searching of support articles i have tried all suggestions.
It would not accept the original [tiger] install discs[superdrive spits them out] so i used my macbookpro to erase the hd and then install disc 1 via target mode.
The iMac now gets as far as select destination, in the installer, but the hard drive does not appear [waited more than 1 hour].
I have the leopard upgrade dvd also.
I ran disk utility verify and its says vol 1 iMac appears ok
1 HFS volume checked
volume passed verification
but verify disk permissions says first aid failed- no valid packages
Does anyone have any solutions that will solve this, as i am no expert on these matters and really need step by step help.
Many thanks in advance

I am confused!
You said.
Please confirm:
You want to erase the drive on the iMac after booting from the Macbook Pro, with the iMac in TDM. Is that correct?
YES I did that so as to install osx install disk 1.
When you boot in TDM and run DU off the MBP hard drive, does it recognize the iMac hard drive?
YES i erased the iMac HD and installed osx disk 1.
Note that you cannot erase / reformat the drive from which the computer is booted.
BUT u said this previously!
Try this:
Repeat this first part, then reformat the drive on the iMac, using Disk Utility on the installer disk. Select Mac OS extended, GUID partition.
Then run the installer in the usual way.
details are
mount point : /
format: mac os extended [journaled]
owners enabled : yes
folders : 5,563
cap 465
avail 46
used 5.0 gb
files 11,728
write status : read \write
S.M.A.R.T status : verified
verify: vol passed verification
permissions verify ; error no valid packages
installer hangs at destination?
What about this? permissions verify ; error no valid packages

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
Regards

Thanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
Regards

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Just purchased a ipad2, could not us it on my MacBook 10.4.1 - Purchased and installed OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - downloaded and installed latest itunes, set up a itunes accounts and tested by purchasing an album and app, ipad does not show in devises?

I just purchased a ipad2, it would not work on my MacBook 10.4.1 I purchased and installed OSX snow leopard 10.6.3 downloaded and installed the latest itunes, set up an itunes account, purchased some music and apps. When i plug in my ipod it shows up and works, but when i plug in my new ipad the ipad screen comes up with a display of a cable and itunes but does not show in devises, i have tried all the resets and different USB ports with no success. Any ideas short of selling it on ebay or buying a new computer?

If you've already tried the usual rebooting of the computer and ports and stuff, there is only a few things left I can think of. It's possible that when you updated iTunes it didn't fully replace all the files, so I suggest just manually removing iTunes and then reinstalling it.
Try removing iTunes manually first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 then download a fresh copy, make sure it is 10.3.1
It is essential that you go through Finder to remove those files it mentions. Otherwise they won't be reinstalled when you run the installer again.

I'm a newbee, (Win Tech) Would like to know what command it is for reaching the reinstall menu at boot-up. I do not meen cmd r menu wich just install OSX above the OS. I think I need a totally fresh installation. Do you have any clue?

Do you have any clue? Have several issues on a new MacBookPro but it's propably "PEBKAC" made..

It is Command+r or for the online internet system it is Command+option/Alt+r keys. Then you use Disk Utility to erase the macintosh partition, from the built in recovery hd, or you can repartition the drive as one partition from the online system.
To actually get to the online internet system you have to hold that key combo down until you see a globe on the screen. Otherwise it will just boot from the built in recovery hd on the internal drive.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

Newly installed osx 10.5.6 drive not showing up in G5

I installed osx 10.5.6 on a drive because my G5 doesn't have a working dvd drive. The installation went as usual but when inserted into my G5 I get a blue folder with a Finder/? icon.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chas

Which G5? If not Intel-based, it won't. How did you install it? Using what?

after installing osx 10.8.2 to my mac mini it will not recognize my admin account. how do i uninstall

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Macbook Pro will not boot, will not re-install OSX

Hi All, realy hope you uys can help me with this one, so i brought a 2nd hand 15Inch Macbook pro (post 2008 style)
2.8, 4GB Ram, 500GB HDD
been working fine for the past 3 weeks and then on sunday while trying to copy filed off an SD Card the Beachball was spinning away and nothing was responding, so decided to force a restart,
then it decided to just hang on the Apple logo with the spinning wheel.
Used the install CD to do a disk utility, it wouldn't let me run it, wouldn't let me re-install or anything.
i removed the HDD and ran disk utility and disk warrior on the imac, they found errors but corrected them, put back into the macbook and still nothing.
so i took the macbook into Apple, they ran the hardware diagnostics which returned everything was working, i was assured that the problem was the HDD, so ordered up a seagate hybrid SSD Drive, popped it in and… nothing
still wont let me install OSX
Wont let me run any kind of disk utilities on the HDD
the HDD seems sound, ive plugged it into the iMac, it reads fine, ive formatted it and its all ready to be installed
please someone help me before the mac finds itself flying through my window, if i can lock down where the problem is at least i can go about getting it fixed.
Cheers
Andy

Well took it down to the apple store again, and explained that the New HDD was still playing up and would not install the OS, so they tried replacing the flex cable and HUZZAH! it worked
what a palaver
thanks all anyhoo
