Moving PC Quicken data to my Mac - Lion

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 the product 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.

I haven't used Outlook for a few months. You should be able to highlight all addresses and then use the Export command (under the File menu?) to create a file of all the addresses in Outlook, then go to Mail and File->Import the file you created. Depending on how much information you have saved for each address, you may not capture everything.

Corrupt Data File Quicken 2007 for Mac (Lion)

Bought QM 2007 for Mac (Lion compatible) and without touching my personal data file, opened a new file and immediately got the "...corrupt data in data file" message. I've tried everything I could find including: trashing the Quotes file, my old Quicken 2006 app, removing any 3vix files, intuit preferences, etc. Nothing helped. I then ran QM2007 on Snow Leopard with my old data file, and after trashing the Quotes file, it worked. So I saved this file and transfered it to my Lion machine, trashed the quotes file. Same error, ...data corrupted. Thinking it's my Lion machine, I opened it in Safe mode...no help. Created a new account...no help. Imported .qif file..no help. I've searched the Quicken forum...no help. I'm very desparate; anyone have any ideas?
Mac OS X 10.7.5, Mac Pro (2012), Quicken 2007 for Mac (Lion) 16.1.4.

Thanks, Baltwo. I'm convinced it's something about my Lion installation that's the cause, since others as yourself seem to be OK—although I haven't been able to run it down. The Quicken 2007 is a fresh installation, each time I try out a new approach, I reinstall the software. Now perhaps it's accumulating some ancillary file that doesn't get trashed, but I can't run that down. I did find something interesting in my systematic search for a cause, and that is that when i install it on my Snow Leopard machine, it works fine with a new, unpopulated data file. But if I re-index my Q 2006 file, trash my Quotes file, then import it into QM 2007, the "corrupt data error" comes up. So I know everything (the QM 2007-Lion) works in Snow Leopard without prior re-indexing the data file, just not in Lion. So I saved my data file that worked in the Snow Leopard version (so it's now a QM 2007-Lion file), try to open it on my Lion machine with a new QM 2007-Lion install, and the corrupt data error appears. As I said above, opening in Safe mode, creating a new account, running my disk through Disk Utility and fixing permissions, nothing has worked so far.
So I bit the bullet and created a Snow Leopard virtual machine (Server version) with my Parallels, and it finally works, including downloading my investment, credit card, etc. accounts. Now I can move on with my taxes, but I'm still perplexed why Lion won't let me run it. I don't like my SL VM because Parallels won't permit coherence, so it's kind of kludgy.
That's my story after many hours of troubleshooting. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Thanks for trying to help.

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

HT204350 Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier"

Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025

I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA.

I downloaded Mountain Lion and now my quicken data is gone as it says it now longer supports pc applications what can I do?

Quicken 2008 on Vista and moving to Quicken 2007 Mac

I have not been able to find a way to move from Quicken 2008 to 2007 Mac, without going through the trouble of changing all of my categories to 15 characters or less, which I cannot do. Are there other options, like moving to Quickbooks or a program I am not aware of?

There is a way, but nothing automated. A manual way, but you lose information and all of your categories have to be changed. I'm hoping for a better solution later. This is the only program I have not been able to switch from.

How to Recover Quicken Data?

I was using Quicken 2007 & have updated to Lion. Is there any way I can recover my data?
Maybe buy Quicken Essentials & recover data from Time Machine, etc. ?
Anyone found a way to recover?

My son uses QE and likes it. But he only does simple banking. It doesn't do me any good since it doesn't have investment tracking.
I agree with Csound1. Get iBank. In my opinion, is much better that QE and has full Mac support. That's something Quicken has lacked through the years.
You can export your Quicken files to a QIF file and import them into iBank. iBank does have a trial version that I would suggest you download and see how you like it for yourself. You have 30 days to use it before you decide to buy it.
Nothing to loose.

Running 10.6.8 with quicken 2006. Would like to upgrade to a new machine/software. How can I save my quicken data?

Would like to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro machine/software. How can I save my quicken data from quicken 2006?

Users have reported that Quicken 2015 for Mac is an upgrade of the generally loathed Quicken Essentials for Mac.
I recommend you continue your Quicken operating experience by purchasing Quicken 2007 for Mac directly from Intuit for $15. It will open your Quicken 2006 file and operate as you have before.
To obtain Quicken 2007 for Mac for $15:

How do I get Quicken data back for our non-profit

It is the end of the fiscal year and tax time. Quicken is gone. My personal financial information for 7 years is not accessible, nor our non-profit. What can we do?

The best thing to do is get I Bank your Quicken data will import to it really well. I did it months ago and ran parallel. When I installed Lion I knew Quicken would not be supported.
There is little learning curve but take the time you will like it. The downloads work better than in Quicken.

Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files on it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app? Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?

Thanks!

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Assuming a Managed Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

PC Quicken data to MacBook Air? (and Photoshop...)

A long time PC friend is dreading switch to Air due to much old Quicken (and Photoshop) data.
Is it possible to import PC Quicken data onto a MB Air using the Mac version of Quicken? If so, does anyone have links to a 'help' resource for this purpose?
Same thing re: Photoshop. She knows she'll be forced to upgrade PS, but are there any sites or documents to help with the arduous process of transferring from PC to Air.
She doesn't want to use the Apple version of PC software.
Thanks,
Karen

Thanks all for the responses. I decided to bite the bullet and buy an iMac since the extra horsepower and the bigger screen are more handy. I'll sure miss the mobility, but it was more of a convenience than a necessity. Also, the Macbook Air's incredibly small hard disk and its lack of ethernet (and the absence of the usb ethernet adapter on the store) were a deal breaker to me.
Oh, well. Maybe next time. Thanks again.

After installing update IOS I've lost my Quicken data, help?

I've lost my quicken data, after installing update....How do I retrieve?

What Mac do you have? What version of Quicken do you have?
Are you updating Quicken or OS X? What are the details of that update (prior version number and updated version number).
Also, since this is your first post to this forum, be sure to understand that the first reply is not necessarily the last word on the subject (nor even the first word, as in this case)!
