Lion compatible Quicken for Mac

Hello,
I have nearly 13 years of Quicken for Mac financial data running on my Snow Leopard MacBookPro that I want to preserve. I have not yet upgraded to Lion, but plan to do so very soon. I have an old iMac which is stuck running Tiger which I can use as a Quicken 2007 machine if need be. My question is: Do I need to upgrate my laptop to Lion before installing and using the new Quicken for Mac? Does it matter?
Thanks,
jerseypolly

I'm new to Macs and want to transfer my PC Quicken data to my new Mac running Lion. Does this $15 verion of Quicken run as it claims on Lion - I assume that it is only $15 to get it out there?
I downloaded Essentials a month ago and dumped it. It does not have manual data entry near as easy as the PC version. How does this Mac verion work? Anything like the data entry for the PC?
Any info about data conversion? I do have it converted from PC to Essentials, which was a hastle to get the conversion file.
Thanks.

Apple has been known to make changes between the GM and public releases. It's rare, but it has happened. In addition, RoaringApps also does not test these apps themselves; they rely on user reports which may or may not be accurate or current. So while RA is a useful guide, it's not definitive. Only the app's developer should be relied upon for official information on compatibility.
We should not discuss the GM release here, by the way, since that's still under NDA.

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 ?

Lion Compatible Quicken Mac 2007

Has anyone had experience using Lion Compatible Quicken Mac 2007 with Mountain Lion? Was the transition from Quicken Mac 2007 on Snow Leopard seamless?

Try moving these two file to the Desktop and then launch Quicken and try entereing data again. The are located in the Home/Library/Preferences folder.
com.intuit.quicken.plist
com.intuit.quicken.plist.lockfile
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

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.

Just updated to osx, can't access quicken for Mac anymore

I just uploaded OSX to my I-Mac. I like the upgrade but it does not support quicken for Mac 2007 and suddenly I cannot access it. I can purchase quicken essentials for Mac but need to know how I can access the old records and transfer them to the new program. The new upgrade will not open the old files. Do I need to remove the upgrade first?

Quicken has an upgrade for Qicken that will run on a Mac. It is not Quicken Essentials, as far as I know.

Where can I get the necessary Lion Compatible software for an Epson Perfection v500?

I bought an Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner a couple of months ago but never got around to opening the box until today. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago I upgraded my Mac OS to Lion and the installation discs that come with the scanner are not compatible with Lion. I did go to the Epson website and downloaded the Lion compatible drivers for the scanner but when I try to perform a scan, it looks like Mac's "Image Capture" is being used as the interface. The install CD (that as noted above won't work in Lion) contains all kinds of software including Epson's "Epson Scan with Easy Photo Fix" and other possibly useful applications but the Epson website provides no information as to how I'm supposed to get those applications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, revybawb. The page that I found on the Epson site listing the driver you mention is here:
<http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 88368&prodoid=63070478&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh>
Here's the information about the epson13659.dmg driver from that page:
Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v3.74A
Intel-based Macs with OS X (v10.4.4 - v10.6.x), Mac OS X (v10.3.9 - v10.5.x)
epson13659.dmg - 17.4MB - posted on 02/03/10
This is a pretty old driver -- February, 2010. It says that it supports only up to Mac v10.5. Are you sure this driver works with Lion?
Has anyone else had luck getting the Epson Perfection V600 to work with Lion?

Eric:
You are more trusting of "waiting" for Intuit to live up to their promises than I am!
From Baltwo's quoted article:
This happened when Lion released and Apple decided to remove Rosetta which was a software tool to allow old software to run on the new Intel based Macs. It took a bunch of developers 8 months to get 2007 working again on Lion even though they didn’t add any new features.
Intuit had six years notice that Rosetta was a temporary solution to its PPC versions of Quicken, yet waited until Apple finally removed Rosetta from Lion before instituting its programming for an Intel version!?!
This is very consistent with their history of how they treat their Mac customers relative to their Windows customers...
Morale of the story... don't wait! For $15, start using Quicken now.

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.

Installing Quicken for Mac

I just purchased an iMac. It has the Leopard OS. I am attempting to install Quicken for Mac 2007. The program installs just fine; receive message "Installation Complete". When I attempt to open the program, the program does not open, but rather opens the document files with the message "Choose a Quicken data file to open". There are no Quicken data files on the computer. Does anyone know how to get the Quicken program to open. Never had a problem with Quicken in Windows; I'm already stating to question the wisdom of this move to Mac.
Thanks for any help you can give me

Obvioulsy, the best place to get answers about third party applications is with the manufacturer of the product. You can contact Quicken on the web here:
You alosmight want to check the manual that came with Quicken to see if that issue is addressed or not.
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance/mac-personal-finance.jhtml
I have been using Quicken on the Mac since the very first release and have not had any problems with it for the most part. Those that I have had are very small and they did solve most of them.
When it asks for a data file I presume it gives you the option to either select one or to cancel? What happens if you just don't select one? Does the program just quit?

Quicken for Mac is not supported by Quicken Canada or Quicken US

I had an issue with download my ING Direct transactions into Quicken 07 Mac. When I contacted quicken.com support they asked to contact quicken.ca support. Below is what I received from quicken.ca when I submitted my issue to them:
"I would like to inform you that we no longer supports Mac version in Canada because of the following reasons. If you want support for your existing version then please contact www.quicken.com
Why does Intuit not offer a Canadian Mac product?
Intuit always wants to provide our customers with the best possible end-to-end experience with our products and services. We do not feel that the US Quicken for Mac product will deliver this experience for Canadian users.
Can I use the US version of the product?
There is a US version of Quicken for Mac; however, it does not offer a full feature set to Canadian customers. This product is also experiencing some issues with downloading stock quotes. This is why we recommend our customers use a Canadian version of Quicken for the best product and experience.
Will the windows version of Quicken work on a Mac running XP, Vista or through an emulator?
We have not tested Quicken on the new Mac platform yet so we aren’t sure. We do offer a 60 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product or it doesn’t work on your system.
Why did you recommend the US product in the first place?
Although there are workarounds and modifications that can be made to the US product so it can work for most users in Canada, we found over time that the experience for our customers was not as good as it is for users of Canadian Windows-based users.
What issues might a Canadian user face using a product geared for the US Market?
· Quicken for Mac is a US product that hasn’t been specifically developed for use in Canada
· Quicken for Mac does not have the ability to print Canadian cheques based on the new standard from the CPA.
· Quicken for Mac’s sales tax functionality is not as flexible as CDN versions of Quicken. Can be more cumbersome than time saving.
· Customers who deal in multiple currencies will not be able to do so in the US Mac version.
· Customers who track their investments in the Mac version are not able to use average cost basis, as required by CCRA

Thank you for the information. I currently use Quicken 2002 for Mac and am pretty satisfied with the tracking of personal data. Now I am planning to upgrade to a new iMac and wondering if my Quicken will run on the new machine. I would readily consider buying a new version of Quicken but as you have pointed out, Intuit Canada no longer produces a version for the Mac. Dang!
I'm not sure if a U.S. version would be able to import my data and allow me to carry on. I just want to be able to track bank deposits and chequing, credit cards and loans. I also need to be able to generate transaction reports - Quicken has been excellent for this feature. Downloading of bank account data for reconciliation is nice but not absolutely necessary for me. If anyone knows of an application that I could use in place of Quicken and could import all my old Quicken data, I would like to hear about it.

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

Is there a good apple based alternative to the persona 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/

Compatible printers for Mac mini (Mac's)

Where can I find a list of compatible printers for Mac. My current Windows printer is a Canon LBP-1120 and cannot use it with my Mac mini. So its probably time to get another printer for my Macs.

I should add that there are a number of printers that are compatible and that don't necessarily appear to be so as a result of third-party drivers. This includes, if I'm not mistaken, some Canon models which can be plugged in and selected in Printer setup.
Others, such as at least some Epson, HP and Lexmark models, are supplied with Windows and MacOS drivers (you need to make sure they're for the right version of MacOS) or the box will be labelled such that it indicates PC/Mac compatibility.
You might take a quick look at the printers offered through the online Apple store (under Mac accessories) to get an idea of which makes to look at. This will only tell you about current models of course, but should at least prove a reliable starting point.

Transferring PC Quicken files to a Quicken for Mac

My dad is making the switch from PC to Mac, but is worried about losing his quicken files. I know they make quicken for Mac, but are files the same? (i.e. .docx for word) Will he have a problem making the transfer?
Thanks!

Since Quicken is not an Apple product you should post your question on the Quicken forums: https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page
