Quicken 2007 & Mountain Lion

I installed Mountain Lion, now my Quicken 2007 for Mac doesn't work. An error message says Power PC applications are no longer supported??? What does that mean? I need help urgently, I can't do banking, use my checkbook, etc.

Quicken 2007 for Lion printing problem.

I installed Quicken 2007 for Lion today. Data files were intact upon installation. I can write checks and make entries. However, when I try to print checks, program unexpectedly quits. Tried multiple times and it quit each time. My printer shows up on "print screen" and everything else looks correct. When I hit PRINT, "unexpected quit" message appears. Help, please.

Quicken 2007 for Lion

I was wondering if I can convert Q2006 to Q2007 for lion. I am currently running on snow leopard?

Michael, if you had been on here and following the discussions since Lion came out you would know your statements are counter reality. Essentials came out and was the stop-gap for the Quicken non-compatibility issues until fixes to 2007 were released.
I dispute both of your statements:
1. "...if you had been on here..." - Could you please clarify the time frame you are refering to here, please.
2. Now Bee may have anecdotally found one Quicken 2007 user who now prefers Quicken Essentials. I have never used Quicken Essentials, but I can only go on what I have read over and over again on this and many other forums.
Don't take my word for it: consider these forum statements:

... and I could go on and on and on...
The statement I was disputing was:
Another option would be to upgrade the Quicken to the new one for Macs. It works so much better that 2007, and opens old Q files.
Your statement to me was:
Essentials came out and was the stop-gap for the Quicken non-compatibility issues until fixes to 2007 were released.
That is "apples and oranges!"
Now if you want to defend Quicken Essentials for what it offered until the release by Intuit of Quicken 2007 for Lion in March 2012, that is a different issue. I still would dispute that as the "stop-gap" on the following basis.
When Lion was officially released, in late July, 2011, existing Quicken 2007 users could continue to use their PPC version of Quicken 2007 by:
1. Restoring their original version of OS X that they were using before upgrading to Lion.
2. Partitioning their hard drives or adding an external hard drive and installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into it and "dual-booting" between Lion and Snow Leopard to continue to operate Quicken 2007 PPC as needed.
These workarounds worked for all Quicken PPC users until users purchased new Macs that came with Lion already installed on them.
Some of these "new Lion Mac purchasers", such as myself, continued to use Quicken PPC on their second or third Macs that still ran Snow Leopard.
For those who only had one Mac that only ran Lion, the next solution was to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels or VMWare Fusion. And since that was a "pricey" solution, I came up with my Installing Snow Leopard client (with Rosetta) into Parallels solution, which had its earliest posted incarnations in October, 2011:
[Quicken Deluxe 2002 PPC shown running here - click on image to enlarge]
So Quicken Essentials was hardly the only "stop-gap" solution for those uninformed users of these other options posted here on this forum and even at that for a short period of time, if at all.
And even Intuit admits that when you import Quicken Essentials data into Quicken 2007 for Lion, you lose:
Budgets
Reports
Currency settings
Category tax line item assignments
Scheduled transactions
Financial institution records
Tags
Online payee information
Download references attached to transactions
Account settings such as Hide Account, and online enabled account user IDs and passwords
So based upon all of these quoted negative comments about Quicken Essentials, I would NEVER advise a current user to use it in favor of Quicken 2007 for Lion, Bee's one friend, notwithstanding!

What is the best way to run Quicken 2007 on Lion?

I must use Quicken 2007 but have upgraded to Lion. What is the best way to continue using a program that is no longer compatible with 10.7

Unfortunately, you will need to find a different application; you can't continue to use an app that is not compatible. Or, you can revert back to your Snow Leopard clone (you did back up your SL install before upgrading?) in order to run Quicken. You could have two partitions on your hard drive - one for SL and one for Lion.

Not correct.... 64 bit is only one of the aspects that will allow ML to run on a MBP. The OP MBP won't run ML....

Quicken 2007 for Lion is out but won't launch

I downloaded the 2007/Lion Quicken for Mac (just came out?). I am using Lion...
When I click on it is asks for my password then crashes, or just doesnt open.
Has anyone gotten it to work for them?
tried the usual stuff, reboot etc.
roger

Well
it says to try this
A. Corrupted Quotes File:
Hold down the Control key and single-click (or right-click) your data file
Select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu
Double click the Contents folder
Control + click on Quotes, select Move to Trash
Start Quicken
Open Investing > Portfolio
Hold down the Command + Shift + U keys to rebuild the Quotes. NOTE: You may still need to download Historical prices for 5 years to get the complete data.
so I trashed the quotes file and it indeed opens in Lion, but of course all the quotes are gone.
I can download them, but some are put in manually so that data is gone, and it only goes back 5 years. I think the files I have go back further,
so I want to try the "rebuild the quotes" option but I hold down the COMMAND + SHIFT + U keys and nothing happens, am I doing something wrong?
roger
BTW I redownloaded the software, now that I got the email that it was available, and they had identified the problem, to see if it was fixed and it is the same crashing version.

Sorry to be dumb, but I want to make sure I do this right...
The former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California (now deceased) once told me there are no dumb questions; only dumb answers!
Hopefully you have not updated to Mountain Lion, YET!
Quicken 2007 (either version) will ONLY accept data from Quicken 2006 or 2007. For you, as a Quicken 2005 user, you must obtain a copy of the PowerPC version of Quicken 2006 or Quicken 2007 and that program will convert your Quicken 2005 data file to one that will open in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
Intuit, which formerly used to provide copies of Quicken 2006 or 2007 (PPC) for such purposes has gone MIA (consistent with OldMacFan's observation that Intuit does not want you to find the $15 upgrade page either! To find that link - I always have to Google "CNET Quicken 2007 for Lion" and in the first listed result, Topher Kessler's review of the program for CNET has the link!)
Consequently, go to this blog and post a comment for Ferd to send you a copy of Quicken 2006 or Quicken 2007 (PPC) and when you receive it, you must run it on a Mac that supports Rosetta and PPC software:
http://thebestparts.net/2011/07/26/how-to-convert-an-older-quicken-data-file-to- use-on-mac-os-10-7-lion/
Then when you upgrade to Mountain Lion, your data file will open normally with Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mountain Lion.
If you have already upgraded to Mountain Lion and hence do not have access to Rosetta, let me know and I will give you further instructions.

How do I transfer my Quicken 2004 data from old MacBook to new Imac with Mountain Lion

I want to transfer my Quicken 2004 (upgraded to 2006) data from MacBook running OSX 10.5.8 to new Imac running Mountain Lion with Quicken 2007 Lion. How do I do this? I thought from what I've read on line that all I needed to do was upgrade the quicken to 2006 and then the data would be readable by Quicken 2007 Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK: This information is VERY helpful! Note my comments below:

Here is what I'm doing step by step:
Open Quicken 2006 (it did automatically convert the Quicken 2004 data) -- GOOD!
Do not do these steps
I went to File> Export> All
Named the file "Copy of Quicken Data.qif" and saved it to the desktop of my MacBook.
At this point if I send the file as is it would not open on the other end saying that Power PC apps are not supported.
I discovered that if I go to File> Get Info in the Finder window before I send it and change the setting "Open with" from "Preview" to "Quicken 2006", that the file would be recognized by the new computer.
Compress the converted Quicken 2006 data file by Control-Clicking on the converted Quicken 2006 data file and it should save with a .zip extension.
Send the automatically converted and compressed Quicken 2006 data file with the zip extension I send it to myself via email as an attachment, I save the attachment to the desktop of the Imac. Uncompress it by double-clicking it.
I open Quicken 2007 Lion
Go to File>Open File... Import>From QIF
Select the converted and uncompressed Quicken 2006 data file attachment that you saved to the desktop of the iMac and then uncompressed. "Copy of Quicken Data.qif"
It begins to download, then I get a warning
"Quicken is unable to import "Copy of Quicken Data.qif" becasue the transaction displayed below is too large... it goes on to say that there is possibly too much text in the split line detail etc.
It should open in Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion
Thanks for your time, any insights would be much appreciated.

When I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion my Quicken 2006 for Mac stopped working, short of paying the $59 for Quicken Mac Essentials is there anything else I can do to read my old files?

help

Preface: I have no experience with Quicken Essentials, but have read, quite often, on this and other forums that it is a further strip down of features from Quicken 2007. So I agree, get Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion, but...
BE CAREFUL with Quicken!
When Intuit finally released Quicken 2007 for Lion v16.1.1 in March, 2013 it was a godsend for older Quicken PPC users. It will directly open the data file from Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 PPC versions. The upgrade to 16.1.2 with the release of Mountain Lion was also stable.
I found version 16.1.3 to crash on opening on my Lion Mac, so I downgraded back to version 16.1.2 and all is well. Others are now reporting that version 16.1.4, the current version sold by Intuit, is also causing some problems. I have not been able to isolate these reports.
My point: purchase Quicken 2007 for Lion, but ALSO:
1. Make copies of your Quicken 2007 PPC data file and back them up BEFORE you attempt to open it in 16.1.4; and
2. If you run into problems, let me know by email (michaellax) at AOL dot com.
If it works fine for you, please report that too!
PS: Baltwo will tell you he has encountered no problems and good for him. But the reports of others with problems keep mounting...

I can't upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

I have a Mac Pro (1.1.1) running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X10.6.8.) I want to buy and upgrade to Mountain Lion. I've followed the instructions on Apples webpage http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ and have (I thought) met all the criteria to upgrade. However, when I go to the app store and attempt to purchase Mountain Lion, I get the message:
We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
Where do I go from here?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion

I just purchased Quicken 2007 for LION which is Intel based and plan to buy office 2011 as well so my major apps will be compatible with Lion. Other than some games I think the transition from Snow Leopard will work swell, but I am not 100% sure. Looking at activity monitor it appears everything I have is running Intel code except Office 2004. Palm Desktop (which I no longer use) has information from my old Palm OS units that I used for many years and long before Smart phones ever showed up I have to wonder if it will work on the Intel macs or if there is a intel version.
Also what of Boot Camp? I have a Feb 2010 refurbished Macbook (which I believe is a late 2009 model) and am running Windows XP in that partition. I see no reason to upgrade to Windows 7.
What curve balls will I get hit with after I move to Mountain Lion? I will definitely back everything up before I upgrade.

Quicken 2007 investment data transfer to Quicken Essentials for Mac

Will my 10 plus years of investment data transfer from Quicken 2007 for Windows to Quicken Essentials for Mac without loss of data?

There is a version of Quicken 2007 for Lion and Mountain Lion available. If you own Quicken 2007 for Mac, it is a US$15 upgrade.
Many Users balked at the loss of capabilities in having to move to Quicken Essentials, and Quicken eventually came around and "ported" Quicken 2007 so that it could run on 10.7 and later. I run it and it mostly works, but for tax estimates, they force you to their online tax estimator or suggest you buy their stand-alone product that will accept tax info from Quicken -- no more ballpark estimates from inside Quicken.

It appears the conversion from Quicken for PC is incomplete, and requires generation of a QIF file which is then imported:

Mountain Lion- Power PC App no longer supported

Just downloaded Mountain Lion. Got message cannot open Quicken. Power PC App are not longer supported. What happened? Need Quicken. Please help.

Just so all of the pertinent information is posted here for others with the same problem:
Intuit released Quicken Essentials some years ago, which is written for Intel and hence will work on Lion/Mountain Lion. However, most Quicken users are very unhappy with the limited features offered in Quicken Essentials. Normally the Genuis Bar advisors would be correct to advise users to update to the latest version of a software package. Howerver, in the case of Quicken, it is a mistake; and one they are not likely to be aware of.
Users of Quicken 2005, 2006 & Quicken 2007, can now purchase for $15 from Intuit Quicken 2007 for Lion (which also works with Mountain Lion) and it will work from day one with your existing data file:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
Users of Quicken 2004 and earlier must use the PowerPC version of Quicken 2006 or 2007 to first update their data files and then they can use Quicken 2007 for Lion. Obviously the PPC versions of Quicken 2006 or 2007 will NOT run in Lion or Mountain Lion, as is, so you must either update these data files BEFORE you update to Lion/Mountain Lion or find a way to run this PPC program in Snow Leopard (alternative computer, dual-boot into Snow Leopard or Snow Leopard installed in Parallels 7 in Lion).
Quicken 2006 PPC can be obtained from Ferd at this website:

My quicken won't work after I installed mac os x. I downloaded quicken 2007 but need to retrieve my info from my old quicken records. HELP!

I'm new to apple support. Didn't realize I had to type more. I just updated my imac to os x so I could use icloud, etc. To my surprise, my quicken no longer works. I downloaded quicken 2007 but can't seem to find a way to retrieve my old info. Any ideas?

I know you are frustrated from updating and that is understandable. BUT: we should be able to fix it for you. BTW: this forum is NOT Apple Support: we are just Apple users like you who share our knowledge and help.
What model iMac did you recently update? Under the Apple Menu, go to About this Mac and tell us what it says; and then click MORE INFO and SYSTEM REPORT and tell us what Model Name and Model Identifier.
Your older Mac is the iMac G4 "Luxo" (so called, because it looks like the Luxo logo of Pixar turned upside down, the character from Pixar's first short film). Chances are you were using Tiger OS X 10.4.x; maybe upgraded to Leopard OS X 10.5.x. It does not support Snow Leopard or above.
My daughter purchased that iMac and we still have it and it works with Leopard OS X 10.5.8. I do not remember it coming with Quicken 2006, as I would have commandered it for my collection because I was using Quicken Deluxe 2002 up until Intuit released Quicken 2007 for Lion. But if you say that is where you got it, you must be correct.
Can you restore your newer iMac back to whatever version of OS X that it was running before? Do you have a Time Machine backup? Or other suggestions to restore the older OS X are here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20095881#20095881
Downloading the new Quicken 2007 for Lion before you upgraded is usually not an issue. There is a data upgrade issue BEFORE you upgrade if you, like me, were using a version of Quicken older than 2005. Then you must use Quicken 2006 or Quicken 2007 PPC version on a Mac that will run it (i.e., pre-Lion or Mountain Lion) to update the older data file to one that will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
When you say something about a "qif" file; where are you hearing this and in what context? This should not come up in this context, but maybe if you were using Quicken on a PC. Were you using Quicken 2006 on a PC and not a Mac before?
Quicken 2006 CD means you are using exactly that and not Essentials: GOOD!
Does your iMac Luxo have Quicken 2006 installed on it? If not, what version is installed on it? If not, perhaps you can use your Quicken 2006 CD to install Quicken 2006 and again attempt to access your old Quicken data file and see if this works.
Lastly, if you feel comfortable with emailing me your old data file, I can do the translation work for you and resend it back to you to use with Quicken 2007 in Lion. I can understand if you feel that this is sensitive data and do not want to share it with a stranger...

I am looking for a good easy app like quicken 2007 I mostly do my checking

I am looking for a easy checkbook app that is formated like the old quicken 2007
