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.

    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 did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
    However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law.  It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
    As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
    The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.

  • Problem with Twitter for Mac notifications

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem with Twitter for Mac. On both my home and office Macs. New posts appear in app window but there aren't any notifications even though notifications are set in preferences to show in both dock and menubar. Perhaps anyone noticed similar strange behaviour? I didn't find anything similar on Twitter forums.
    Thanks in advance.

    go to Terminal and post this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/support/lsregister -kill -seed
    if it doesn't have that specific directory try this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
    once the scanning is done (can be short or long, depends on how heavy your system is) RESTART the computer.
    when you're back, go to Apple>system preferences>extensions.... guess who's there.

    I have problems with office for mac  screen resolution, specially with excel ?

    For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.
    We are talking about Office:Mac 2011, right?

  • Quicken for Mac 2007 problem with 10.6.2

    So I went to open Quicken for the first time since installing the 10.6.2 update and I thought I'd share my experience.
    After repeatedly crashing upon launch, I contacted Quicken support.
    After a 3-hour chat (my favorite part was when the rep asked me what a G4 was)
    I was given the R3 update, which still won't open my main file.
    As it turns out, I have a drive that I can boot into 10.4.11, where everything seems to be working now. I was able to open a smaller (664 kb), simpler more recent file, but my main file (6.4 mb) with all my important stuff can be opened only under 10.4.11.
    I learned along the way that Quicken never updated the code for Intel processors, and that Quicken is proud to announce Quicken for Mac 2010. Here's a quote: "Our Quicken Mac 2007 and earlier users should note that this is a brand new product, so some of the features you've grown used to may not be included"
    Quicken 2010 for Mac - Now with fewer features!
    Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there....

    I am a new convert to IBANK (www.iggsoftware.com). I have been running Quicken 2008 in Windows on my Mac. I have been waiting for Quickens new program as Quicken 2007 for the MAC is only half the program that it's Windows counterpart is. Intuit has chosen to string us along for over a year waiting for their new Quicken Financial Life program only to dumb it down (http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/mac-personal-financial-softw are.jsp) to Quicken Essentials for the MAC.
    It is time to send them a message that they are going to lose money for their lack of comitment to us MAC users.

  • Problems With Bridge for Mac - Playlists and Photos

    I have a Sony Xperia Z3, up to date and an updated version of sony bridge for Mac, so there isnt any problems there for a start.
    Firstly, when I syncronise my playlists, all the tracks are present on my phone, however not divided into the playlists I syncronised them in. Theres 1000's of songs, so to recreate the playlists individually is very tedious, is there no way of transferring the songs in their collections, so they can be viewed in the itunes playlists?
    Secondly, I syncronised alot of photos from iPhoto using the app. Lots of photos have turned up with a black picture icon on the phone, I assume corrupt. Other photos have syncronised all distorted. Why is this? Again, there are alot of these so to do it in smaller sets is also tedious, as the app is pretty slow compared to syncronising with itunes and my old iphone.
    Overall, not impressed with bridge for mac, its a pretty unreliable and slow program!

    Hi richardackroyd!
    Sorry to hear about your problems.
    It's hard for me to know exactly what causes the problems.
    Can you please send me the error-logs for both the probems.
    So I can forward them to the development team.
    Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
    1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
    2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
    3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
    4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
    5. PM me a open dropbox link withe the files.
    Best regards

  • Quicken for Mac 2007 - Crashing on 0S X 10.6.8 editing accounts

    I bought Quicken 2007 2 months ago. (Today is Nov 2014) as I was told newer versions won't work on my Mac. I am using MAC 0S X 10.6.8,   "Snow Leopard.  Worked fine until this week. Now whenever I try to "Edit" an Account it crashes.   I have to edit the Accounts so I can set them up for online downloading. I did that initally for most of my accounts and it worked just fine. Now it won't let me do the remaining accounts.
    This system is not letting me upload the crash report by copying into here. How can I do that?  I had to do a screen grab as I could not "copy" the report.  The "copy" feature was grayed out. Then I tried  copy the screen shot as well as directly import it but did not work.
    Any ideas on fixing my Quicken?
    Look forward to your help.

    If you would like to use iCloud, you can try Yosemite. I have an early 2008 iMac running Yosemite and I've had no problems with it. I did upgrade my RAM to 6 GB, following the instructions from the link below.
    Other World Computing
    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • Is anyone else having problems with Office for Mac and Lion?

    Since installing Lion 10.7.1 on a macbook pro 2.53 Ghz 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I have had no end of problems. Both Excel and Word hang, crash and saving an Excel file is a pain. A 12mb spread sheet just took 4 minutes to save! I have MS Office for Mac 2011 version 14.1.3.
    Another problem that may not be related to Office is that opening Finder is so slow and most of the time it takes a minute to display folders in Desktop or Documents.
    Any suggestions would be welcome .. I regret installing Lion .. I had no problems with Snow Leopard!

  • Problems with Photos for Mac

    Last night, I upgraded to Photos and I've noticed three problems for which I'd like help.
    First, Photos seems to have lost about 10 percent of my photos.  When upgrading, it asked me which of my two iPhoto libraries I wanted to upgrade and it only gave me the option to select one.  Now, I can't find any option to import my second library.  How do I do that and add my missing photos?
    Second, I spent months organizing curating my iPhoto library, which consists of 35,000 photos, into various events.  The new Photos app has completely obliterated that hard work by removing "events" from the organization and then by jumbling photos into what seems to be, at times, a random ordering.  Is there any way to resurrect my events and the prior chronology I had established for my photos?  I am absolutely fuming at what occurred.
    Third, even though I turned on iCloud support for my Photo library, and purchased additional iCloud storage for my photos, no additional photos from my Mac's photo library seem to be appearing on my iPhone or iPad.  Is anyone else having that issue?
    In sum, I'm not sure what benefits this supposed upgrade from iPhoto actually provides to consumers.  It destroys consumers' prior work, replaces it with chaotic organization -- especially for consumers with large photo libraries -- and its most compelling feature -- iCloud support -- doesn't seem to work.
    Apple, I have been a loyal customer for many years but I must say that the quality of your software upgrades, both on the Mac and the iPhone/iPad, is deteriorating sharply.  It used to be that when a consumer bought your products or loaded your software, it worked with few apparent bugs.  Now, I increasingly find that major features don't work well or don't work at all.  I am beginning to feel the frustration and irritation with Apple that I felt with Microsoft and that had made me flee Windows for OS.

    Use the feedback form to let the developer team know:  Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    This apparent mess is intentional. Photos organization of the library is automatic. It will structure the library by Moments - grouping the photos by location and date.
    The only organization you can add are albums and smart albums based on keywords, etc.
    However, your events should have been migrated. You should be seeing a folder "iPhoto Events", with albums for each event. Is this folder missing?

  • Problems with Bridge for Mac 3.7

    I've been using Bridge for Mac for a while without any problems, but since it downloaded the 3.7 update it won't recognize my phone. When I connect, it thinks for a few seconds, then says it cannot connect. I've tried deleting and redownloading the app, and deleting any relevant system files I can find. If I connect it in Windows with the same cable and through the same USB port, PC Companion recognizes it no problem. Any idea what's going on here?

    Hi mcilwr01,
    I'm sorry Bridge isn't working for you, and I understand you're upset. 
    Could you please send me error logs that I can forward to the development crew? Otherwise it's near impossible to tell what's causing your problems.

  • Problems with Office for Mac 2011 Outlook

    So I've BYOD with my work, but having difficulty in accessing my Outlook email on the work's server. I keep getting the following pop-up for the mail stating that Outlook has redirected to the server (name of server here) to get new settings for your account (name of email account here). Do you want to allow this server to configure your settings? I havce the option of to Deny or Allow, both of which have been tried. The pop-up still pops-up no matter.
    What our PC-oriented tech department has discovered is that it is being routed to an incorrect address. They have no idea where that address resides and we need to figure out how to insert the correct address into the correct place within the software.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.

    there seems to be something wrong with the Office for Mac software getting things right on that platform on that machine
    Then that would be a question for Microsoft' and their forums.  It's up to Microsoft to maintain compatibility with the OS, not vice versa.
    when Lion came out, there were others who had some issues wtih Outlook
    Lots of sofware has issues if not updated to be compatible with new operating systems.
    I was hoping someone who got things right might see this and response.
    This has nothing to do with Outlook..it's running as it should.  The problem is that the autodiscover feature on your company's exchange server is not configured properly and is telling Outlook to point to that incorrect address.  It's up to them to fix the autodiscover settings on the exchange server.

  • CS4 while Adobe fix the problems with CS5 for Mac?

    If anyone from Adobe is monitoring this forum, is it possible for customers who have bought PRemiere Pro CS5 to have access to a fully functional copy of Premiere Pro CS4 while we wait for fixes to two serious bugs in the Mac release of CS5? 
    The problems with not being able to save project files, and the wrong aspect ratio randomly being selected when importing widescreen DV footage - discussed in threads on this forum - make CS5 unusable on a Mac currently.
    thanks.

    You randomly get a saved Quicktime file with the wrong aspect ratio.
    Ah ha...now that I can fix for you ..if you have QT Pro.
    BTW: That behavoiur is typical of QT Player and is not actually random.
    Method:
    Open your mov in QT Pro
    Show Movie Properties  (Ctrl-J)
    Click on Video Track
    Click on Visual Settings Tab
    Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
    (Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
    Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension  by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
    Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
    Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
    In the QT Window Menu - File>Save  (SAVE is an  IMPORTANT STEP)
    Here is an example:
    QT movie Original is 320x240
    Divide 240 by1.78    ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
    Bingo!

  • Problems with Office for Mac 2011 installation

    I'm trying to install Office for Mac 2011 on my new (bought yesterday) Macbook Air
    I entered my pin for the Office into the site and got my download link
    I started to download it and it said it would take over 4 hours and when the download got to halfway (of 1GB) the installation stopped and the message given was 'You do not have permission to access the requested file' and this came up every time  I tried to restart it
    I decided to re-install the program but was met with the same issue..
    Can anybody offer any advice or explanation for this it would be greatly appreciated!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

    I didn't do a back-up of my data prior to installing Lion.  I hadn't thought that I would have this issue with installing a Mac product onto a Mac lap top.  So unless there is another option, I can't take your advice.
