Microsoft money on a mac

I have been using  Microsoft Money for about 18 years.  I switched to a mac about 2 years ago.  After months of trying to find an acceptable alternative to microsoft money I finally installed Microsoft money sunset through VMware fusion on the mac.  It works except that it frequently hangs which is so frustrating I no longer want to use it.  I have thought about trying quicken 2014 premeire and importing the data from money, but am concerned about the ease of doing this, and whether or not this will be an improvement.  Any insight, or suggestions for financial software would be appreciated.

I continue my decades long use of Quicken for Mac with its 2007 Intel version, complete version available for $15 from Intuit:

Avoid Quicken Essentials for Mac.
I avoid giving Intuit all of my financial institution information, including account numbers, logins and passwords; by easily downloading QIF files from all of my financial institutions through their websites and then importing them into each of their appropriate registers on a monthly basis. 
No TARGET-like internet attack on Intuit for me!

  • How can I inport Microsoft Money files in Mac?

    Wich tool do I need to be able to use Microsoft Money files in Mac ?

    You need a Windows installation, either under Boot Camp or running as a virtual machine under Parallels, etc. There's no MS Money for Mac, just for Windows.
    If there's a support community for MS Money, you might ask if there's a way to export your data and use it on an application that runs on a Mac... I don't know as I've never used MS Money...

  • Microsoft money for mac

    I am looking for microsoft money software to download to my mac.  
    Any leads?  I tried amazon and ebay.

    I do not use either Money or Quicken, but there is no currently shipping Mac version of Money.
    A lot of people swear by Moneydance. I understand that it has the ability to use the same .ofx files that Money does.
    Of course you can always use Parallels and run Windows in a virtualized window in order to run Money, but that seems like a lot of work if there is a Mac equivalent program available.
    Moneydance has a trial. Download it and see what you think.

  • Similar Program as Microsoft Money for Mac?

    Hello,
    I am in the process of changing over from pc to Mac. I am currently using Microsoft Money...is there an equivalant for the Mac? All I really need it to do is download bank activity from my checking account, set budget, and run income/expense reports. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Quicken acceptable on the Mac, but the conversion from Microsoft Money is nearly impossible. I simply started over when I made the switch about 2 years ago. Once set up though, the bank access works well.

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac?

    How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac Pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft Access isn't available for OS X, so you can't use it. If you need it, you have to install Windows on a virtual machine.
    On a virtual machine, you can install the Windows version you most like and the Access version you need, so you won't have any problem using it. You just need a full Windows version with its DVD or ISO image and product key, and an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox to create the virtual machine. If you want to save money, System Builder versions are cheaper and you can find them at Amazon or NewEgg.
    As you have a Mac Pro, I suppose you won't have any problem using a 64-bit version, but it's important you have enough memory. Open  > About this Mac, and check how much memory you have. I recommend 4 or 8 GB of memory at least.
    After installing Windows on the virtual machine, you will be able to install Access there.
    There are applications for OS X that allow you to run Windows applications without having to install Windows. Those apps often fail, so I don't recommend you to use them

  • When I try and download my Bank Statement for Microsoft Money using Firefox, Microsoft Money doesn't recognise the file.

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/816841''
    My bank, Alliance and Leicester/Santander provides a facility for downloading bank statements in various formats for use with accounting packages. I use Microsoft Money and can download my statements in a file format Microsoft Money recognises. This works fine with Internet Explorer. When I try the same process with Firefox I just get a generic "file" that Microsoft Money does not recognise and will not open.

  • How can I install Microsoft Money 2001 on to my Macbook Air?

    I have just got my MacBook Air and am very happy with it, but I'm currently trying to install Microsoft Money 2001 on here, and I have no clue how to do it... It is a CD which I have installed on my old computer, however, I insert the CD into the disk slot in the USB disk thing, and it comes up with the disk on my desktop, but I have no idea what to do from there. Please help, thank you.

    Wow, I see some red flags:
    Microsoft Money - Are you sure this runs on a Mac running an OS X operating system?
    2001 - Are you sure you want to run twelve year old software?  Are you sure it can run on a current processor?
    There are other products out there that may do what you need at least as well ...
    Anyway, putting all that aside, and assuming you know that Microsoft Money 2001 will run on your Mac, here's the answer to your question:
    Control-click on that "disk on my desktop".  Then click "Open".  Hopefully you will either see something labelled "Installer", or some arrow showing the Microsoft Money icon leading to an Applications Folder.  If you see the installer, double click it.  If you see the arrow, drag the icon as indicated.  A third possibility is you will see a ".dmg" file.  If so, double click it.
    If you see none of the above, that would reconfirm this software is not designed for an Apple product!
    Anyway, I would be very reluctant to try to install it because of the red flags.

  • Microsoft Office for the mac no longer is supported because it is a PPC App? Recourse?

    What on earth is this power delegated to themselves to take away without fair notice that even applications bought through the apple store such as Microsoft Office for the mac, can no longer be supported because it is a PowerPC application.  Since this was purchased through Apple, do they not offer an alternative?
    I must call Rosetta Stone now also, huh?  All this money wasted just because Apple has made the decision to f everyone?

    Microsoft Office is not an Apple product. It is not up to Apple to support it regardless of where you purchased it.
    Unless you want to learn a new language, don't purchase Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is language training software. Rosetta is the codename of the technology that allowed PowerPC code to run on an Intel-based Mac.
    Rosetta was based on code now owned by IBM. Since Apple does not own it, it can't just arbitrarily make it available to you to run the software that has been updated not once, but twice since the PowerPC platform was abandoned.
    You might try asking IBM to write you some software to run your old programs, or you can update them to something newer. If that cost is too expensive, you might consider one of the alternative Office-type suites such as Open Office, Libre Office, or NeoOffice.
    iWork is also an alternative, but it is not free. The three individual parts, word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software, each cost $20 on the Mac App Store.

  • I have just bought an iPad2 - is there an equivqalent App to Microsoft Money that I was using on my PC

    I have just purchased an iPad2 and wondered if anyone knows if there is an equivalent App to the Microsoft Money disc I was  using on my PC.

    I have yet to find a Financial application for either the Mac or iPad that is anywhere as good as MS Money.  I've been looking for years and have tried several but none come close.
    Some users seem to like MoneyWiz and give it a five star rating.  I wasn't overly impressed.
    I'm still running MS Money on a Windows emulator on my iMac.

  • How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
    You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
    If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
    But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
    Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
    MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
    (I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)

  • How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac? Boot camp?

    How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac? Boot camp?

    Running Windows or using a suite such as Libre Office. It is similar to Office 2007 for Windows, but runs on a Mac, and contains a database manage that is Access compatible.

  • So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared.  Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical.  It's also been removed from my phone.  How can I get outlook to sync with ical

    When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone.  I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether.  Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal.  The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date.  In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone.  How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal?  If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone?  All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone.  This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out.  I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
    Office for Mac forums
    The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

    OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
    Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK. 
    So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
    Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

    After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
    I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts.  I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation.  Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
    OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
    I think "DFS" is a distributed file system.  That's as much as I know about this.
