Quicken: PC to Mac conversion

It seems from many of the threads that the Mac version of Quicken is nothing like the PC version and that importing PC Quicken data into Mac version is problematic.
Looking for feedback on which scenario is preferable:
1. Continue to run Quicken on PC through 12/31 then switch to a Mac friendly product;
2. Purchase Quicken for Mac and import pre existing data.
All ideas welcome and thank you.

You are asking this in a forum about iWork Numbers so you may not get many responses.

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:

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.

Any problems discovered using Quicken Essentials for Mac on OS 10.8 Mountain Lion?

How do I recover quicken 2007files lost in conversion to osx v 10.7lion

How do I recover quicken 2007files lost in conversion to Lion

If you mean to recover the Q2007 files themselves, I would suggest restoring them from the backup you took befoe you upgraded to Lion.
Although they will do you little or no good because nothing but Quicken can read them.
The suggest migration path is to export the data from Quicken prior to the upgrade to Lion.
Then you can import the export Quicken data to another financail application that works under Lion.

Quicken 2007 for mac qif files

My MBP (original 2006) died without having a chance to transfer quicken files via quicken 2007 for mac. Now I find that I cannot run quicken 2007 on my new mbp (late 2011). I have everything backed up on time machine but no where to run the the quicken program to do an export. Want to get away from Quicken. Can I, from time machine, export my quicken files to GIF? Any help for suggestions would be appreciated. I live in a little town in Montana and don' know of anyone who has an older mbp that I use.

Wikipedia explains DS_Store files more thoroughly. It might not be anything now looking at it. The software such
Applejack
EaseUS CleanGenius (formerly known as MacCleaning)
Diablotin System Optimizer
Maintain
Macaroni
Mac Pilot
Onyx
Yasu
Spring Cleaning
MacKeeper
Are all risky to use on machines without a backup. If none of them sound familiar, then your issue is somewhere else.

Can't expand Quicken 2007 for Mac updates

I've downloaded new updates for Stuffit Expander, but I cannot get my updates for Quicken 2007 for Mac to expand and open up. I get the pop-up message "Stuffit archives are not supported."
Where should I start looking for answers to this problem?

I did install the new updates for Stuffit Expander.
I ended up opening Stuffit first, then I opened the Quicken update files. The Quicken files loaded and updated the application.
Quicken's updated. It doesn't function any better than it did before, but it's updated, thanks.

Quicken 2011 for Mac in App Store?

Any ideas when Intuit will make this program available in the App Store?
Thanks
Gordon

The big question from my point of view is as to whether or not the latest Quicken 2011 Deluxe can work on Mac's without a hitch. Quicken 2011 is already a few big steps backward (shame on Intuit) but there seems to be NO competition but a huge demand for the software. So as a result, I hesitate buying a Mac, as great as they seem to be. Until Windows based software like Quicken and it is seamless, I resist. They say I can run Quicken on the Mac but I have to do certain steps each time and buy a new Windows program. I currently run on Windows XP and wonder if I need to first upgrade that to Windows 7 and THEN to a Mac....just seems to iffy and may just buy the HP. Thoughts anyone? I am confused and the kids at the Apple Store confuse me even more. I would need to be able to use my RealPlayer, Excel and Word 2000 and Quicken 2011. Ouch.

Does Quicken 2007 for mac work with Mavericks?

Before I upgrade my Imac (2008) to Mavericks, I want to know if Quicken 2007 for Mac and Microsoft Office 2008 will work with Mavericks. Thanks in advance for any information.

Just a warning, however: it doesn't work as well. I've had several crashes when I attempted to edit an already saved transaction (no data lost, apparently, besides the changed transaction), and frequently the header with all the account buttons, etc. will not appear when waking the computer (2007 Intel MacBook Pro) up from a long sleep. Annoying, but not fatal. At least Intuit hasn't totally given up on the Mac world.

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.

Installing Quicken Essentials for Mac 2010

Quicken Essentials for Mac 2010 does not launch when installation disk is inserted into CD drive. The CD drive does not recognize the disk, so I cannot drag the icon from the desktop to the Applications folder - any suggestions?

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

Is Quicken Essentials for Mac available in Canada?

Knowing Intuit is a Canadian Company, I found it strange that I cannot find Quicken Essentials for Mac in a Canadian version. Does anyone for sure if the Program is available in Canada?
Thanks for your help.
