Lion and Quicken

I upgraded to Lion and lost my Quicken program. I did save info on thumb drive before the download. Unfortunately the quicken files were saved as qdf files. I purchased IBank which requests all files as qif. How do I change the save to qif?

I don't use Quicken (haven't for several years now) or iBank, but from what I understand from reading other posts here, you have to be able to run Quicken to export to a format iBank can read. That's a bit of a problem, but not necessarily an insurmountable one. Get yourself an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard on it, then reboot from that (hold down option at startup to select the boot drive) and install Quicken. Then export your data from there.
After you're done, you can either keep that SL drive around for emergencies, or you could erase it and use it for backups. (If you're a typical user, you don't have the minimum of two full, separate backups.)

I just upgraded to Lion and want to go back to Snow Leopard ..I have time machine..is there a way?

I just upgraded to Lion and Quicken will not work and not sure if I want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a timemachine and would like to know if someone could help to either get quicken working or how I can get back to snow leopard?

Did you check the Quicken website before upgrading your Mac? It specifically says that Quicken will not work on Lion.

Just reinstall Snow Leopard. Should work fine. You can downgrade to previous software as long as the Mac supports the earlier version. If it previously had Snow Leopard, then re-installing is fine.
However!!! If you have a newer computer that was "born with" Lion, you cannot downgrade, as the firmware will not be compatible.
Good Luck!

I just upgraded to mountain lion and didn't realize that my quicken wasn't going to work. How do I get that information back?

I just upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and didn't realize that my Quicken wasn't going to work on it. Now what do I do? How can I get my info off of here to start with something new? Anyone have any ideas? That was the one thing I didn't backup before I did the upgrade. Grrr.....

mende1 is right, however, you have a chance of recovering your files.
Open a new Finder window.
Press COMMAND+G
Type the following in the box: /Library/Application Support/Quicken
Remember, I don't use Quicken, so that folder may not exist.
If you really need it though, you could downgrade back to Lion (or whatever you were on before).
Sorry for the trouble you are having.

I just loaded Lion and now my quicken program can't be used. What do I do to access my financial info?

I just installed Lion and now my Quicken program can't be used, says it isn't supported. What do I do to access my financial info? Also all my old files created under AppleWorks 6 that weren't converted are no longer accessible. Any help with these is appreciated. I am away from my Time Capsule and can't retrieve anything for 2 weeks. Will I be able to go back and access this info with Lion?

I recently made the same mistake. The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC. After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files. There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact. I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible. The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well. Good luck.

I down loaded Lion and now I can not access Quicken

I down loaded Lion and now I cannto acces Quicken or any of my financial information. What do I do? Is there any way for me to be able to access Quicken again?

cglasgow123, although you should have checked compatibility of your apps with Lion before upgrading, since any major system update can cause these sorts of problems, that does not help you solve your problem. Just keep it in mind for the future, so you don't make the same mistake.
There are a number of Quicken replacements out there. See Finding a Replacement for Quicken for some excellent guidance. I strongly suggest you begin migrating to one of these programs soon, as Intuit has a very poor record with how it treats its Mac-using customers. They have promised an update to the years-outdated Mac version of Quicken "sometime in the spring." I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
You could try using Quicken Essentials in the short term, which is a dumbed-down version of Quicken for Mac users that will run on Lion.
If nothing else works for you, and you absolutely have to run your old copy of Quicken, you have three choices. One, you could install Snow Leopard and Quicken on an external hard drive and boot from that whenever you need to use Quicken. Two, you could install Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine and run it, and Quicken, within Lion. (Post over on the Snow Leopard Server forum for assistance with that, I don't know the details.) Three, you could revert to Snow Leopard entirely, though that will be a painful process requiring you to erase your hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and everything else from scratch.

Lion OS X 10.7 and Quicken 2007

Anyone know if it is true that if you upgrade from SL 10.6 to Lion 10.7 you no longer can use Quicken for Mac 2007? I saw that here:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2015353039_ptmacc18.htm l
If so what are some solutions other than not upgrading the O.S?
There is not nor will not be any updated versions of Quicken for Mac.
You can run Quicken for PCs on Bootcamp or in Windows on your Mac as a virtual machine. But, if you want to get away from using Windows?
This alone would stop me from updating to Lion but, eventually I’ll need to update the Mac OS. (New computer, need a future feature, etc.)
It would be nice to find an alternative to Quicken or another solution.

Quicken Essential does not support investment tracking. I have over 15 years of checkbook, stock/fund investments and Quicken 2007 tracks all my costs, gains, lots and exports that data to TurboTax at Tax time for my schedule D. Spreadsheet Solutions don't support bill pay as Quicken 2007 does. I simply enter the transaction into my quicken register, enter SEND instead of a check number and Quicken transmits the payment request to my bank. No double entry and no requirement to use my bank's web bill pay.
I can draw a net worth chart going back to the early 1990s because ALL my accounts and assets have been tracked since then in Quicken version up to 2007. Unfortunately, I'm held hostage by their database format. I don't know of any management tool that completely accepts a transfer of all my Quicken data.

I install OS X 10.7 lion and now my quicken 2007 is no longer accessible now what should I do

I install OS X 10.7 lion and now my quicken 2007 is no longer accessible now what should I do to get it on ibank I can't import my finance. Should I uninstall lion and if so how?

Since I really needed my quicken, I had the apple genius bar wiped out my hard drive and I reinstalled my last update prior to going to Lion 10.7 on my external le cie hard drive to my wiped out macbook hard drive. Now I am back to Snow Leopard with my intact quicken program. I am reviewing quicken essential vs ibank. I keep track of my transactions with my mutual funds. Any suggestion which is better to use or should I wait for an software update that will allow quicken 2007 for mac to be compatable with Lion OS X?

I just installed Lion and now I can't access my Quicken data.

I just installed Lion without knowing I would lose access to my Quicken data. To make things worse, I'm a computer moron and didn't make an external back-up. I have an old non-intel mac, is there any way to transfer my Quicken data to it?

The only version of Quicken that will work with Lion is Quicken Essentials. Quicken 2007 for Mac (and prior versions) will not. I recommend checking the Intuit website for information regarding using Quicken Essentials with Lion before upgrading to Lion. More information is available here: http://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/getting-started/upgrading-and-convers ion/8207.htmlhttp://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/getting-started/upgrading-and-convers ion/8207.html

Lion OS 10.7 and Quicken 2007 - Investments

In your transition to SEE you do not mention transfering a history of investments. This is an area where many of us
have been left out. Did you transfer a long history (10 years +) of accounts with activity to SEE?

The former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California (now deceased) once told me there are no dumb questions; only dumb answers!
Hopefully you have not updated to Mountain Lion, YET!
Quicken 2007 (either version) will ONLY accept data from Quicken 2006 or 2007. For you, as a Quicken 2005 user, you must obtain a copy of the PowerPC version of Quicken 2006 or Quicken 2007 and that program will convert your Quicken 2005 data file to one that will open in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
Intuit, which formerly used to provide copies of Quicken 2006 or 2007 (PPC) for such purposes has gone MIA (consistent with OldMacFan's observation that Intuit does not want you to find the $15 upgrade page either! To find that link - I always have to Google "CNET Quicken 2007 for Lion" and in the first listed result, Topher Kessler's review of the program for CNET has the link!)
Consequently, go to this blog and post a comment for Ferd to send you a copy of Quicken 2006 or Quicken 2007 (PPC) and when you receive it, you must run it on a Mac that supports Rosetta and PPC software:
http://thebestparts.net/2011/07/26/how-to-convert-an-older-quicken-data-file-to- use-on-mac-os-10-7-lion/
Then when you upgrade to Mountain Lion, your data file will open normally with Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mountain Lion.
If you have already upgraded to Mountain Lion and hence do not have access to Rosetta, let me know and I will give you further instructions.

LION and LION apps frustrations

I simply cannot understand why the Mail application in Lion deletes the "Address" or "Address Book" button, or the abllity to add it, in the outgoing message window. Yes, the button is available in the Message Viewer window; but this requires one to leave the window in which the message being prepared, to go to a separate window, then to return to the message. This is ridiculous.
The other alternative, remembering "Option-Command-A" is not satisfactory; nor is going to the menu bar to select "Address Window." Put the darned Address Book button back in the outgoing message window, where it has resided very effectively for years. Or, add it to the customize option in the message window so we can put it there ourselves.
This is just one of the many unnecessary and annoying changes implemented in Lion. Despite the major features, some of which may be useful (many are not), the myriad minor changes that make things more difficult to find simply make Lion an annoyance I wish I had not purchased. I am still trying to work with it, but I am seriously considering returning to Snow Leopard - with that, at least my Intuit (Quicken) and Photoshop Elements applications would still work (yes, I reboot to a drive with Snow Leopard to use these; yes, I plan to update to Photoshop 10 when it comes out; and yes, the decision not to update Quicken for Mac after deletion of Rosetta so that bill paying could still be done from within the application was a boneheaded choice by Intuit, not Apple). But the bottom line is, switching to Lion has caused disruption for me in many things I (used to) use daily.
In addition, some of the new interfaces are simply ugly - the grayed out left-side bar in the Finder window, same in Mail - are awful. Even the log-in screen background is ugly.
Perhaps Lion is supposed to prepare us for "Cloud computing" but I abhor the idea of sending my files and data off to someone's server, with no idea of where that server is, or what measures are taken to secure the data, or who else has access to it. It is another feature I will not use.
Lion, and its supporting applications, are a disappointment - and I haven't even addressed the utter failure of Safari 5 to properly handle cookies (I addressed it at length elsewhere). But basically, no matter what the security settings or the selection/non selection of "Private Browsing," Safari 5 accepts cookies from any site visited. It's bad enough that the cookie handling selections differed unnecessarily and confusingly from previous versions; it doesn't matter, because they don't work!
Bad job, Apple.

Thanks for your comments. Your opinion is really important to us.

Lion and Quickbooks 2009

Anybody here using Lion and Quickbooks 2009? Thinking about upgrading to Lion from SL but a show-stopper will be whether or not QB 2009 works with Lion. I got an email from intuit that says QB 2009 is not supported in Lion but there is a difference in "not supported" and "does not work". Can anyone verify it working or not working?

No problem!
This will make it easy for you:

Help.

Lion does not support PowerPC Applications (Photoshop Elements 4, Quicken, etc.), that ran in Rosetta on the previous Intel OS X's.

So you will need to either update those Applications, stay with Snow Leopard or create a dual boot system.
