Problems using Quicken 2004 for Mac under Leopard?

I am using Leopard and still using my old Quicken 2004. It works fine for the most part but there are just small glitches. For example, I am continually prompted to set up charges as a recurring bill and it will not let me check the "No" button. I have installed allof the updates. There are no major problems, just minor annoyances.

Quicken warns of possible data corruption with even 2006, so while I wanted to wait for 2008 (stripped down as they will 'start all over' in features) 2007 has worked and had a couple updates.

  • Problems using Dragon Dictate for Mac.

    I used Dragon Naturally Speaking for years on my PC.  Switched to an IMac.  Dragon for Mac leaves a lot to be desired - training, recognizing, editing.  Any suggestions about how to improve performance or other voice recognition software for Mac users?  I dictate a lot of reports using MS Word.

    First of all I have no expertise in installing programs if they are problematic, I can only pass on my experience which relates to trying to purchase and install an Upgrade from MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 to Dragon Dictate 2.5 and the past experience I have had with MacSpeech, the company before Nuance.
    The 800-number doesn't get you to Technical Support and I think I was hung up on as well.  The wait for technical support was about 10 minutes.  If you are paying for the phone call by the minute that could be costly.
    Technical Support
    781-565-4960
    The tech was patient and his directions were easy to follow.  He logged into my screen using Join Me and if you find that too invasive, it may also be a reason not to continue with Dictate.
    Do I understand that you purchased a physical copy of the program on disk? Was it as an Upgrade that Nuance shipped to you?  And it wouldn't let you register the product?  The other criticism I had of MacSpeech and it seems to have carried on to Nuance was that the matter of accounts and registration accounts can be a forest. 
    The website to register the program is www.macspeech.com/licenses/. (There is another site for registering other Nuance products but it doesn't recognize your account for products that have been registered on the MaSspeech site.).To register the product you will need to set up an account (not an uncommon process) but that account will not be the way you access the download if you purchase the product by digital copy.If you purchase the program as a physical copy, I would suggest you register the product before you start installing but it really shouldn't be necessary because the program will prompt you to register if the install goes well.
    I can't recall which identification they asked for when I called technical services - the product code, the order number, or my registration account but I was prepared with all of them.
    Once you do register a program, the code can be accessed in the future if you keep track of the account and website on which you registered it.  I see there is also an option which downloads the code to your computer but heaven-knows-where it is stored.  On some other programs the code is stored in the application icon menu. My account on the Macspeech registration website stores the codes for 3 programs I have had since Nuance took over from MacSpeech.
    If you have purchased a physical copy and the registration site I listed above won't let you register it, I would call the 800-number which is
    Customer Service
    800-654-1187
    What I was trying to do was purchase the Upgrade of Dragon Dictate 2.5 as the result of an email offer because I was a previous customer of MacSpeech Dictate 1.5.  The website only seemed to offer to send me a physical copy with shipping of either $24 or $30 to Canada. When I decided I wouldn't buy the Upgrade because of the shipping cost, I found that I couldn't remove the item from the shopping cart and eventually couldn't even access the shopping cart.  When I called the 800-number to complain they told me there was a problem on the website which wasn't offering the download which was my preference.  They offered to sell me the digital download over the phone which I could then retrieve from the website www.findmyorder.com with the login which asks for the order number and a password (which I think was assigned when I placed the order, but as I said, registration, download access, etc can be a forest and I was very confused by this time.)
    At the www.findmyorder.com website, there were two files to download, the program for 2.5 and the data disk. When I tried to install the program and the data, the process started going around in circles asking for things over and over again.I wondered what I was doing wrong (a common reaction) so I tried to install the program on another computer.  The install on the second computer was easy and although I hadn't yet registered the product the program prompted me to register it. It also updated to 2.5.1 (although I only am aware of that in retrospect.)  So I went back to the first computer and tried to install again. The same problem happened.  At one point I exceeded the number of downloads which is 5 because I was trying to get rid of downloads that didn't seem to be working.  I called the 800-number and without too much difficulty, the person reset the downloads.  But the same thing happened, with the program asking for the data disk.  That is when I called Tech Support.
    After the tech showed me where to retrieve 2.5.1 from their website (because he said 2.5 was buggy) and I reinstalled the data disk from the www.findmyorder.com website, the install worked well.  BTW I found it hard to understand on the www.findmyorder.com download website which file was which.  I got very confused and ended up not getting the data disk.  The program disk image which is listed second is called Dragon_Dictate_Englishes.2.5.dmg.  The data file listed first is Dragon_English_Data2.5dmg.  You need both files normally but if you are getting the 2.5.1 file, I don't believe you have to have installed 2.5 first.
    In retrospect I may have not understood how to install the two files - the program file and the data file but I can't remember exactly what was happening. By that time I was pretty lost.
    Back to MacSpeech Dictate 1 or 1.5, I assumed that I would have to have this installed on my computer in order to install the Upgrade of Dragon Dictate 2.5. Remember, I was trying to install 2.5 on a new computer. Although I had done this before I tried to purchase the Upgrade 2.5 (because the computer was new and MacSpeech 1.5 hadn't been installed on it yet), I am not sure it was necessary.
    There didn't seem to be any "secret codes" that hadn't to be removed first.  You may be talking about old or corrupted plist files which sometimes interfere with applications.  The tech just told me to drag any 2.5 applications to the trash after we got off the phone, of which by now I had about 5 on the computer.  I have had old versions on a previous computer and they never seemed to interfere with one another. I think I still have iListen 1.0 on a very old computer as well as every fresh version and upgrade.
    I hope this reply wasn't too long and didn't add to the confusion.  As I said in the first message, the criticisms are well founded.  Installing MacSpeech iListen and accessing services has been a minefield from the beginning and it isn't improving.  For someone interested in easy-to-use voice recognition I would suggest the Dragon Dictate app for an iPad or iPod Touch.  Works wonderfully but it has very limited features.
    My husband, who has physical disabilities but until recently could type better than MacSpeech Dictate was working for him and didn't have a computer that would work with MacSpeech Dictate, has been using Dragon Dictate 2.5.1 on his new computer without a microphone for a couple of days.  He believes there is hope, although with past versions he was frustrated after an hour and quit.  One new thing in Dragon Dictate 2.5 is that editing on the keyboard before you finish the document does not mess up further voice input.  He continues to struggle with voice control (a good exercise for the voice) and his tendency to talk as if there he has a secretary taking shorthand.  You really do have to talk to the computer in a conversational way, speaking in full sentences or full phrases if possible, not in separate words.
    From iListen 1.0 I kept saying that voice recognition would work well for everyone.  It has been a long road but I can see on the horizon that it will be available for everyone.  The iPad/iPod app is close.

  • Anyone using office 2004 for mac,please help!

    Dear all,
    i know this is probably the wrong place for this post,but i've always been able to find my answers here..so genuine apologies in advance
    i bought office 2004 for my macbook a few months back..i'm able to open word,excel etc no problems...but when i am typing in word on a regular document..my spellcheck does not work..even where there is obvious spelling problems,it does not highlight it with a red line underneath...when i run a spell chenck,it tells me its complete and the spelling and grammer are complete,when they are obviously not!!
    in the compatibilty report it tells me that that word cannot identify text language...when i select language dialog box and english (uk)nothing changes
    I've also just realised that when i type in a word notebook document,spell check works!?!??!
    Anyone any ideas,i have a dissertation due for college in a few days and i need it to work!!!
    again apologies if this is out of order posting here,
    regards,
    Paul

    how do i uninstall office completely???
    Before you do an uninstall you may want to test your preference files for corruption. There are three which can become corrupeted, but probably only the first two will be of issue.
    Quit Word and any other Office Applciations.
    Browse to your User home account and locate the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Word.prefs.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Office.prefs.plist
    (the third has to do with fonts and I don't think that is at issue)
    Drag these to your desktop and relaunch Word. Word will re-create these files.
    If all works as it should you can trash these files. You will probably have to reset some preferences and Autocorrect settings. Be careful of what you reset as that may have been the cause of the issue.
    If this does not work you may replace the newly created files with the ones you dragged to the desktop, or you may try re-installing Office.
    If you want to completely remove Office and attempt a re-install to see if it corrects the problem: The uninstaller is located in HD/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office.
    I understand that you are in a timecrunch with your paper being due. I am sure with enough troubleshooting that you can and will find a solution to the Office problem. If the above steps do not work, however, you may also want to have a look at the free NeoOffice suite to get your paper done in the meantime.

    I am not including the link as a means of trying to pawn off the problem as I think any problem is ultimately fixable, but it may give you an option to meeting your deadline.

  • Quicken Essentials for Mac in Yosemite

    When using Quicken Essentials for Mac on my iMac i5 21" I'm having trouble generating a report. When I click on the reports to generate them I just get a gray spinning wheel.  I've called Intuit a couple of times with no results.  Please Help!!   Is there something usual about Yosemite that I need to set/reset?  Thanks so much in advance for any kind assistance.

    You need to contact the developers (Intuit) to ask for support or you may want to visit an Essentials product forum.

  • Uninstall quicken essentials for mac using lion

    Bought Quicken Essentials for Mac.  Am using Lion.  I've found out that I can't use my old files on Quicken for mac 2004 with the new Quicken program.  I'd like to uninstall Quicken Essentials so I can install the 2004 version.  Help?

    Quicken '04-'07 won't run under Lion. Your only option is to restore your Snow Leopard or earlier backup/clone or Time Machine backup and use that with Quicken. Do note that you should be able to import your old data file to Essentials, but that's a WAG and you need to inquire at https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page#

  • PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac under Snow Leopard?

    Hi. Apple's new operating system for Mac, Snow Leopard is being released tomorrow.
    According to the Snow Leopard wiki, Photoshop Elements 6 does not work under Snow Leopard:
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    I contacted Adobe to ask if they had any plans to update Photoshop Elements 6 to work with Snow Leopard.  The response I got from their support was that Adobe Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard and so they weren't responsible if it didn't work.
    I am pissed because of course Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard.  EVERY software program was. Most of my software (and I have a lot of apps) are being updated for Snow Leopard by their developers.
    I'm writing this post just to make sure that Photoshop Elements doesn't work under Snow Leopard. It's possible whoever posted that Photoshop Elements didn't work under Snow Leopard could have been having an isolated problem.
    So, if anyone tries Photoshop Elements with Snow Leopard, please post here whether or not it works.
    Thanks a lot.
    Mirskyman

    No, there are no significant known conflicts with Snow Leopard, so that's not your problem. Have you deleted prefs since the upgrade? Was this an upgrade in place rather than an erase install? If so, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths Folder
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Settings Folder
    Opera preferences
    repair permissions and see if it's any better. Do you have any third party content installed in PSE? There may well be conflicts with that, if so.

  • Lost use of word for mac 2004 when upgraded to mountain lion OSX

    IVe just upgraded to Mountain Lion OSX and lost use of word for Mac 2004. how can i get in to work again

    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Can I download Quicken 2007 for MAC using Mountain lion

    Downloaded MountainLion w/o checking what programs would be dropped.  Turns out i cannot open my Quicken For Mac 2005
    so need to find another system quickly

    Intuit has an Intel native version of Quicken for Mac which should work. Do NOT purchase Quicken Essentials for Mac. This is a very watered down junk version of Quicken Intuit released with many of Quicken's features removed.
    The hard part is finding the Intel updated version of Quicken 2007 for Mac. You'd swear Intuit is deliberately hiding it. Trying to locate it through Intuit's site is almost impossible. You keep getting sent to the Essentials version. Here's the one you would want. Had to locate the page through Google.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac - missing options

    Hello!
    I've got some trouble with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac:
    I realized that there are some options missing in the menu bars, such as "Insert > Cross-reference", etc.
    Today I reinstalled the whole thing including all updates (11.3.7). No success.
    However I noticed that on my admin account the options are existent but still not on my "everyday account".
    Therefore my question:
    How can I remove user specific preferences for Office? I guess this might solve my problem.
    Thanks to anyone who has some hints for me!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

  • 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.

  • Trouble installing Office: 2004 for Mac

    Hello. I hope someone can help me. So here's the deal.
    I've been using Office X for some time. I bought Office 2004 for Mac (Student Teacher Edition) from a friend who upgraded last May. I got the manual and the Product ID with it. I never got around to Installing it, but my hard drive failed recently and Apple replaced it, obviously without any of my stuff on it.
    So I decided if I have to reinstall all my software, I'd go ahead and use the Office 2004 as I don't think the Office X is fully compatible with Tiger (because of it's age and a few issues I've had with it over the past two years). Now, here's the problem. When I tried to install it, the product ID didn't work as the Product/CD Key. I called my friend and she no longer has the box or the Product Key, and of course, the Product key from my Office X doesn't work.
    So now I'm stuck. Is anyone familiar with Office 2004 for Mac? Is there any difference between the "retail" version and the Student/teacher version that would prevent the Product Key from one with working with the other? Would anyone be willing to share their Product key with me, to install the software so I can get back to work?
    I've already lost 4 days in time (and have to recreate 2 days worth of work that was done after my last file backup) and don't have time to deal with this stuff.
    I may be contacted directly at robertben1 at comcast dot net.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help.

  • Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?

    I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC.  When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet.  Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming!  The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document.  Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open?  All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem.  Can someone help please?  Thanks!

    You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
    Make sure all Office application are quit fully
    Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
    Look for
    com.microsoft.Excel.plist
    com.microsoft.office.plist
    com.microsoft.Word.plist
    com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
    Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
    Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
    Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
    Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.
