QuickBooks Pro 2007

I have QuickBooks Pro 2007 that I run on my HP with Vista. I want to move it to my mac mini with OS X 10.5.4. Will the PC windows-based software run on OS X 10.5.4, or do I have to pay Intuit another $200 for the mac version? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Lise2008.
It's not possible to run Windows-based software natively on OS X (as it's a Unix system). But you could use [BootCamp|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461] (click on the link for further info) to install Windows on your Mac.

Does QuickBooks Pro 2007 for Mac work on SL?

Anyone tried using QuickBooks Pro 2007 for Mac on Snow Leopard? Read several posts saying that 2009 installs but does not work well at all - crashes among other things. The Intuit site claims a patch for 2009 is imminent http://community.intuit.com/post/detail/dWQ6yILbWr3PKzacfA8pyY I cannot find a thing about my version, 2007. Anyone out there tried 2007 yet? Does it work? Thanks.

I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard. If I had, not only would I not be able to use QBP 2007 but MacSpeech, Thunderbird, Missing Sync for Blackberry, and my 4 month old Canon laser multifunction. I am awaiting SL compatible updates on all of this software before I switch. Canon may not have drivers for my machine until October. No one has given any hard and fast dates for updates. This software is critical to my business - Snow Leopard is not. I am plenty frustrated - at Apple and at the developers of my applications, but I am willing to live with that frustration and not jeopardize my ability to earn a living. SL would be fun but I am actually quite happy with my Mac as is, and look forward to playing with SL in a month or 2, hopefully. With regard to alternatives to QB, sadly, I have not found one. I would love to take my business elsewhere and have been trying software and searching forums for alternatives, but have not found anything that will work as well for me. If anyone else has found something else they like I would love to know about it and would switch in a second if I could. I read that Microsoft is phasing out MS Money, so even on the Windows side Intuit is the dominant application. Ugh! Well, that's how am handling all of this. Not entirely happy about it but still feeling very fortunate to have Leopard 1.5 and my Mac. It seems like the best course for now. Also feel very fortunate to have these forums and am so appreciative of everyone's comments and concerns. It's wonderful that we can come together and support each other. I also found some consolation in this article. http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/10reasons_not_upgrade_snow_leopard_rightaway

Problem with battery for MacBook Pro 2007

I have a problem with battery that was replaced during video card service 1.5 years ago
Battery health was around 80% and it stopped to work, I continued to use notebook with power cable and after week the battery become like this!
spoke with person in Apple store and got answer that it is not covered by Apple and I will need to buy another new battery.
For me it looks like manufacturing problem and I'm not expecting that after 1 year my battery will die like this! Thanks that it didn't explode!
What I should do in such case?

Thanks for your reply!
All my battery story is ending with bad taste...
I always relied on quality of the Apple products, it brought me to change all computers and phones to Apple brand. I was ready to pay extra for their products...
This battery has an Apple brand on it and I'm expecting that Apple will take some responsibility for it.
First battery on my MacBook Pro 2007 worked without any problem for 4 years, then it was replaced by Apple service tech person for unknown reason. This "new" battery failed just after ending of 1 year warranty coverage and even deformed in such scarry way. And now I don't have any option to ask if there is possibility that I'm experience a manufacturing defect! And I know that it is possible, internet is full of negative comments for these batteries!
Now I'm asking myself again, if it worst to buy Apple products? Are these products have proper quality?

Macbook Pro 2007 - Do I need original disks to install OS or can I install 10.6 dmg from USB?

Hi,
I recently bought a Macbook Pro 2007 and admittedly coming from Windows I am a relative novice with Macs. So, I made a purchase without realizing the important role the original OS disks play
I checked the OS and it says it is running OS X 10.5.8. I had a go at installing a different OS on a partition, but got an error message saying: "Filesystem verify or repair failed".
So, not being all that familiar with Macs, how do I go about installing a new OS? I am pretty clueless with that stuff on the Mac. Do I need to have the original OS disks in order to install a more recent OS? Or can I use the 10.6 dmg file that I have to install from a USB?
If I were to purchase a more recent OS (than the one that came originally with the Mac), would I be able to install that? In all cases I do not need to back up any of the existing data.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thank

If you want to erase the computer's hard drive to rid it of the previous owner's leavings (always a good idea with a used computer), and then install Snow Leopard, that should all go without a hitch. The present Leopard installation will be wiped along with everything else. But the iLife applications that were preinstalled on the machine at the factory and included on the discs that were originally shipped with it are not part of the OS and won't be included in the Snow Leopard installation. You'll need to purchase and reinstall those separately, and you can do so either by buying an iLife '11 installer DVD from an Apple Store, or by buying the individual iLife apps that you want from the Mac App Store. You'll have access to the App Store after applying the free OS updates to the final version of Snow Leopard, v. 10.6.8.
Once you can use the App Store, you'll also have the option of downloading the upgrade to OSX Lion, if your computer meets its system requirements.

I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 issues, errors with Quickbooks Pro 2010 installation

I recently - uh today - had an agonizing experience installing Quickbooks Pro 2010 because I kept receiving error messages during the Quickbooks installation. It was a new cd that I had purchased a few months ago from Costco, and had been putting off using it, or even installing it.
So today, I tried to install it, and failed repeatedly. I kept getting the same message, Adobe Flash player file is unavailable - with a drop down screen showing the location of the flash player file that the installation software was trying to find so it could continue the installation. I think I recall seeing an error message originally with Adobe Flash Player 10.1, but it's been a long day, so maybe the error was always referring to Flash Player 8.0. I tried to browse for a new location that the Flash Player file might be located, looking through the Program Files\Adobe and coming up with nothing.
I spent a long time looking through the discussion forums on both Quickbooks and Adobe trying to find the answer, also turning off and on my computer, ha. And I installed the latest Flash version, Flash Player 10.1, then uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and then uninstalled it and looked for the obsolete Flash Player 8.0 which I couldn’t find on Adobe’s website, but found links to in two other forums…So basically, I tried to solve this on my own, and it didn't work.
So...I was whining to a friend who suggested I just call Quickbooks technical support. Duh, why didn't I think of that? I guess because the packaging on the new software says that fees may apply if you call customer service. Well, it doesn't apply to the first call, and also it's crazy to charge someone who can't even install the program. So I called them, and was on hold forever.
But the problem was solved.
The tech support person, Manish, was able to install Quickbooks by completely bypassing the usual installation procedure. He checked for compatibility, which was fine, I have Windows XP, etc. and then I believe went to control panel, add or remove programs, and clicked on add programs, and followed the icons with the Wizard to install the latest version of Quickbooks. The interesting thing here is that QB has some special download to allow remote access during a trouble shooting call. It initially freaked me out, but it worked just fine, since I could see what was happening on my computer screen even though I wasn't the one operating the computer.
I asked Manish why this installation method seemed to work. He said some of the Quickbooks cds have a bad Flash Player program file, and doing it this way seems to bypass it. He also said that Quickbooks should not compatibility issues with Flash 8.0 or Flash 10.1, but there were some problems noted with Flash Player 9.0. I asked if I would have problems if I uninstalled Flash Player 8.0 and then reinstalled 10.1. He said there shouldn’t be problems, so that’s what I just finished doing.
Hopefully this is helpful for someone else out there in cyberland.
Also, it was kind of helpful, someone else posted on another forum that you could check what flash files you have by going to C:\Windows\System 32\Macromed\Flash, because I couldn’t even find where the Flash Player was installed. They are not in the Program files under Adobe.

Hi, well that sounds like quite an ordeal. Your Flash files are located in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash with a right click and post back all files listed there. It may be a good idea to just confirm that they are correct.
Then Using Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Manage addons and Toolbars & Extensions and look for a box Show all add ons.
You should find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10h.ocx and make sure it is enabled.
The Flash files and that ActiveX Control is Flash Player.
Now if you use another browser, you may want to post that version info as well. Also, what service pack do you have with XP?
Thanks,

Opening an Excel file configures MSO Pro 2007

Using Win7 & MSO Pro 2007.
When I try to open an Excel file two unusual things happen after the splash window opens
1> A message box opens and says stdole32.tlb. When dismissed by clicking
[OK]...
2> A window opens and starts to configure MSO Pro 2007 which takes 20-40 seconds to complete
Taking a clue from KB 2528748 ..
3> I looked in the registry at: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options and
found no NoReReg Key, so
4> I executed , in the RUN BOX..
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
The registry now contains the appropriate noReReg key BUT the the behavior remains unchanged.
Is this likely due to the unclear message about stdole32.tlb at
1>?
Could some one help me unravel and fix this nuisance problem?
Thanx
Arvin

Hi,
Please try the following method and check if it is helpful:
Right Click the Excel>Properties>Compatibility>Choose Run this program in compatibility mode and Run this program as administrator
Copy/paste a new stdole32.tlb from installation copy or other pc

Can I take a hard drive from a different laptop and replace it in my MacBook pro 2007

My MacBook pro (2007) has failing hard drive. Can I remove the hard drive from a different laptop ie. Toshiba, or HP and replace it with the failing hard drive?

yes you can....but any files/data on the other drive will be gone. also make sure that the drive you install is a SATA drive which is in your Macbook...
make sure you have your original install disk if you plan on doing a clean install.

Well, there are tricks in the Internet to install OS X Mavericks in that computer based on the use of emulators (because you cannot run OS X Mavericks due to your Mac firmware). However, they are risky and illegal, and we cannot provide support for them.
Instead, you can only upgrade your Mac Pro to OS X Lion officially > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

Macbook pro 2007

I have an older macbook pro 2007 and imac intel 2006 model. What if any issues should I be aware of if I upgrade to Lion and what will not work with my computers. So far, I have read that my Microsoft office 2004 will not work and possibly my wireless HP printer that is at least 4 years old.

Any PowerPC apps will not work. Open System Profiler, select Applications from the Software section. Look for PowerPC in the Kind column.
Additionally, check for other software compatibilities here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

QuickBooks Pro and Keyboard don't like eachother

Please help. Does anyone know why my keyboard (any, have plugged in different keyboards to fix problem, doesn't seem to matter) will freeze up sometimes and not allow me to type in QuickBooks Pro for mac? The problem is quite disconcerting and causes delays while at work. I am running QB 2006 on a brand new MacMini with a new aluminum flat keyboard (not wireless).

Is the problem isolated to just QuickBooks? Do the keyboards work in other applications, like TextEdit, MS Word, or iWorks?

What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)?

What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)? I imagine they're still expensive, but I'm curious which would be good picks if I were to go for it.

I am using the Corsair P256 (256 GB) SSD. It is actually a Samsung drive. It works well, but will only give you part of the speed advantage due to the fact that the MBP from 2007 only has a 1.5 GB/s interface, while newer MBPs have a 3.0 GB/s interface.
Impact on battery run time seems to only be an increase of 15-20%.
Boot time on my MBP is 40 seconds to login prompt. System seems very responsive.

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help please...

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

Mountain Lion is the current version of the latest OS, with Mavericks coming this fall.
However, I would suggest that you simply upgrade to Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It's a very good, very fast OS and, best of all, it can still run those PPC apps that you may be using.
My 2¢...
