Transferring PC Quicken files to a Quicken for Mac

My dad is making the switch from PC to Mac, but is worried about losing his quicken files. I know they make quicken for Mac, but are files the same? (i.e. .docx for word) Will he have a problem making the transfer?
Thanks!

Since Quicken is not an Apple product you should post your question on the Quicken forums: https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.

Hi, I cannot open nef files in elements 4 for mac

Hi,
I cannot open nef files in elements 4 for mac.

For the D3000 you need version 7 or higher. PSE4 is too old.
You would need to download the converter to change NEF to DNG to open them in PSE4

I am using Quicken Personal Finance Software 2007 for Mac

I am using Quicken Personal Finance Software on my Mac. I am running updated Mountain Lion. I entered all my information and brought my accounts all up to date. I quit Quicken and opened it again a couple days later and all information I entered was missing. This has happened 3 times now over the past 3 months, and each time I go back to November 2011 and re-enter ll the deposit, debits and reconcile. Each time when I reopen Quicken all information is back to 2011. Can anyone help me?

I can't see on their website that they have made a Mountain Lion compatible version, only Lion:
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/lion-compatible-quicken-mac-2007/GEN83769 .html
But this does say they expect it to be compatible:

How to run .exe files with Virtual PC for Mac

Hey Guys, I'm new around here and with mac technology as well. Anyway, I have an iMac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard and I've recently purchased the Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2 software. So I'd like to know how to use this program properly, because I need to run some executable files in my computer. It is confusing for me because I don't know how to get started, and I only get to the part when it says "OS not found, Install an OS on this hard drive".
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that. So I'd really appreciate if one of you guys could tell me, step by step, what to do to use Virtual PC properly, and finally learn how to run .exe files on mac.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day!

Always nice to see new faces
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that.
This brings up the second part of your problem. The first part is setting up either a proper Virtual Machine program like Parallels or VMfusion, or setting up a Boot Camp partition on your drive.
http://www.parallels.com/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
OS stands for Operating System. You are running Leopard 10.5.7 as an operating system on your Mac (MacOS X).
The second part of your problem - You will need a copy of Windows XP or Vista if you want to run Windows on your Mac.
There is at least one other solution for running Windows programs on a Mac. It's called "CrossOver" by a company named 'Codeweavers'. It's based on a project for "Wine" to be able to run PC programs on a Mac or Linux, without having to buy or install Windows. It works with a narrow subset of Windows programs so you would want to make sure the program you want to run is compatible with CrossOver before you buy it.
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
In addition to all the above information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest 10.5.7 from 10.5.1. "Software Update" is located under the black Apple icon in the Menu Bar at the top left corner of your monitor. After you are updated you will want to update your Profile here so that it shows the proper OS version.
With your level of experience with MacOS X and the Windows OS's you should probably get some help from a local Apple store. They have an appointment system and do offer many types of help and training, and they can offer assistance with choosing the proper programs for you to purchase for your machine.
You are also welcome to continue to ask questions here, of course. You will want to ask your questions with different issues that come up in different threads so that the answers stay focused on the title of the thread.

Why are missing items when import pst files to Outlook 2011 for mac?

Hello.
After installing Office 2011 for Mac I configured Outlook and it was allright.
But when I tried to import a pst file from the old laptop who has Office 2007, I found that in the Outlook 2011 Inbox I have only ~60% items comparative with the Outlook 2007 Inbox.
From Microsoft Office forums I've got an answer that there are indeed some reports with missing items when import pst in Outlook 2011 but the solution they gave me (create folders in Inbox before import) doesn't work.
Do you know something about this kind of problems?
Is it a feature in Outlook 2011 which automaticaly select/delete/combine items based on the similarity between them or based something else?
Have you an ideea how to finally use this macbook and in the same time all my old emails?
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

How to import .iaf files into Outlook 2011 for mac?

I exported emails from Outlook Express (PC) to .iaf files years ago and now need to access them on a mac. I have downloaded Office for mac 2011 but can't work out how to import them into Outlook 2011.
Can it be done? Any suggestions would be hugely helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
We can import .iaf files in Outlook 2010 using the following method:
Start Outlook 2010.
On the File menu, click Import and Export.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Export.
Click Import Internet Mail Account Settings, and then click
Next.
Follow the Internet Connection Wizard to complete the import process.
But, I don't know if we can do this in Outlook for Mac 2011. Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, it's better to post Mac related issue to the forum for Mac:

Can't open .ppt files in MS Powerpoint for Mac

I recently upgarded to OSX Maveriks 10.9.1 and now have Mail 7.1.
I am receiving .ppt files as email attachments and I want them to open in Micorsoft Powerpoint by default (I have Office for Mac installed). Currently it opens in Keynote and I don't want that to happen. Before I installed Mavericks i was able to do this and opened .ppt files in Keynote only if I wanted to.
Hope I have articulated the problem well and loo fwd to solutions.
Thanks
Rach

Hey Rach0k,
Thanks for the question. You can configure which application will open .ppt documents by following these steps:
OS X Mavericks: Choose an app to open a document
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14279
Permanently change the document’s app
1. Select the document, then choose File > Get Info.
2. In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
3. Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app on your Mac. To download and install a new app, choose App Store.
4. If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Movie files embedded in Powerpoint for Mac 2011 play audio, but only show black (no video).

I'm trying to embed a video in a presentation using Powerpoint for Mac 2011. It successfully imports the video, but when I try to play the video in the slide it only plays the audio and black (no video). I have tried .mov and .wmv files and neither works. I have Flip4Mac on the machine which is a MacBook Pro 15", if that makes any difference. The video in either format plays outside of the Powerpoint presentation and if I send the presentation to another MacBook Pro the video in the slide plays no problem. Anyone have any ideas other than not using a Microsoft product on a Mac?

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

.pages file created in Pages for Mac won't open in Pages for iPad

Just created a pages document on my Mac, saved it to my google drive and when attempting to "open in" from my google drive the file won't open in pages for iPhone or iPad (mini).
All versions of Pages are on latest release.
Messge reads:
Document can't be imported.
The file format is invalid.
I download both the mac app and ios app a week ago.
Thank you for any info!

I've been testing file structures via google drive this morning and have yet to find a solution.
Compressed files will not open in Pages on the ipad and an upload to Google Drive of a .pages document re downloaded to my desktop will no longer open in Pages on the Mac.
Somewhere in the google ecosystem during upload or download / "open in" (on the ipad) the file is being restructured so that it cannot be recognized.
An hour call with the team at Google hasn't supplied an answer yet and they have opened a case file to investigate.
I'll update when I hear back.
Thanks!
