Mac personal finance program...help!

I have recently switched from a pc to a mac...the only problem i'm having is finding a mac finance program that is comparable to quicken for pc.  The feature i most need but cannot find is the ability to enter multiple manual transactions by just hitting enter in between..i have tried quicken essentials, moneywiz and now Ibank...none have this feature..
does anyone know of a program that does have this feature???
thank you!

Hi Erika,
Intuit has a version of Quicken 2007 that is compatible with Lion,

Perhaps it will have the feature that you are looking for. As a long-time Quicken for Mac user, the current situation is frustrating. Intuit has allowed it's Mac personal finance products to fall far behind their Windows counterparts. Alternatives, like iBank, are getting better but still don't offer all the features of Quicken 2007.

  • Personal finance app (help me!)

    Dear users,
    for days desperately i'm searching a program with these features:
    - Management software for family money/cash (Moneycontrol type, for instance);
    - Available for both Mac and iPhone;
    - With synchronized with iCloud data between various devices;
    - The producer of which is not escaped and is not unavailable for 3 years, leaving a final version from the times of the cows; :-)
    - That work and with a efficient synchronization between devices with iCloud (and with these two conditions have excluded 99% of the App Store); :-)
    Even for a fee. Thank you!

  • Opinions on the best Personal Finance application?

    Just purchased an iMac after about 15+ years with PCs. Problem is I have about 15 years of financial history in my Windows version of Quicken. I bought the Quicken for Mac version, but the data file conversion effort is ridiculous, and besides that there are certain investment transactions which just don't transfer at all and must be manually re-entered. Before I go through about 20 hours of manual effort, do any of you have a better recommendation? Thanks in advance.

    Mac personal finance software.
    Many like using iBank and I believe it will cope with quicken records.

    There are others so a search in version tracker would help.

  • 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/

  • Looking for a Personal Finance, Money Management program that works smoothly with Mac OS 10.9.4

    I’m looking for something to break down my spending into categories and merchants so I can track where I’m spending and better control it.   Checked out Quicken first, but looks like Intuit is giving up on Mac integration.  Can someone experienced in Mac and Financial Programs recommend one for personal finance and money management that works well with Mac?  OSX 10.9.4.  And, I’m an English major.  Numbers and spending are my Achilles wallet.

    I like Quicken personally. There is a new version in the works.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    Hi,
    Check the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth setting.
    iChat needs to see a Minimum of 128kbps to do 1-1 chats in Video
    For 3 and 4 way chats it needs 384kbps
    Set the Bandwidth to 500kbps if it is set lower.
    Also check the speed you are getting from your Internet supplier.

    One that I use and like is iBank. 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:
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    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's the best personal finance software for mac?

    Any recommendations for personal finance tracking/reporting software?
    I've used Quicken and Bento but wonder if there isn't some easier way to keep track of credit cards, cash, income, checks, etc.
    Thanks.

    Some often recommended include iBank (which I use and am quite satisfied with), MoneyDance and, if your needs are very modest, Quicken Essentials. Intuit has promised a version of Quicken 2007 that will run under Lion sometime this spring, but I've not seen any more specific date.
    Regards.

  • How do I use Numbers to develop personal finance and budget spreadsheets?

    I recently purchased an IMac and would appreciate advice on how best to use IWork (Numbers) to set up a personal budget and finance spreadsheet program. Please bear in mind that I am not a computer expert and only have average understanding of spreadsheets.
    By way of background, I have poor eyesight and use a screen resolution of 1344 x 840.
    I currently use Quicken for Mac 2007 for my personal finance and budget. The problem is that fonts are far too small for me to see clearly and cannot be changed.
    Hence my interest in using IWork (Numbers).
    My budget and finance requirements are reasonably straightforward
    1. create income and expenditure categories and sub-categories
    2. Create 3 accounts (cheque, savings, credit) in which I can manually record debit and credit transactions by description, category and sub-category
    3. Create annual budgets with specified monthly amounts for categories and sub-categories
    4. Compare actual income and expenditure for categories and sub-categories (for all accounts) against budget each month and for year to date.
    I am confident most of my requirements can be met by using the Checking Register and Budget Templates in IWork (Numbers).
    However, I don’t know how to link and further develop these two Templates to enable me to use the same categories and sub-categories for all accounts and budget.
    I also want to be able to compare actual income and expenditure for categories and sub-categories (for all accounts) against budget each month and for year to date (ie. point 4 above).
    I should be grateful if someone with a better knowledge than I have of IWork (Numbers) and spreadsheets could steer me in the right direction.
    With thanks in anticipation.

    ww,
    You can begin your orientation by reading the Numbers 09 User Guide, available for download free of charge from the Numbers Help menu. This will give you a lot of insight into how spreadsheets can be used and how to build them.
    Then download the, also free, iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide and page through it to see what's there. It would be about as interesting as reading a dictionary to read it straight through, but it's good to get to know what functions are available.
    I find that using the iMac's full resolution and wearing strong reading glasses is better than using reduced resolution. If that's not enough, you can go to System Preferences, Universal Access, Zoom. There are different zoom behaviors that you can choose from depending on your personal preference. Some users here have expressed a dislike for the zoom feature, but I suspect that if they needed it really badly, they would come to appreciate it.
    Regarding the finance spreadsheet development, it's a big job. You are off on the right foot because you already have formulated a clear picture of what you want the final result to look like, or perhaps nearly so. My first tip is to take advantage of the Numbers ability to use many separate tables per sheet. Then it is easy to rearrange your sections if you don't like the look of your first efforts.
    Make a dummy layout, with notes and/or fictitious values in cells where you eventually want links or complicated formulas. I suggest that you not consider using the Categories feature of Numbers Tables. The feature is limiting and at some point will stop you dead in your tracks and you will have to go back and start over with that particular element of your design.
    Then, seek help here on one technical hurdle at a time. You can study the way the Check Register and Budget templates work by clicking on the interesting cells and looking at the expressions that appear in the formula bar.
    Good luck,
    Jerry
