Using Quickbooks on Yosemite

I recently bought a new IMac and my previous version of Quickbooks Pro for Mac (a Windows version) doesn't open in Yosemite.  My version is 10 years old not exactly sure which version because my computer failed.  I have read that you can partition the new computer to allow windows to run on a MAC but it sounds like you have to restart the computer to switch back to MAC each time.  Is it simpler to buy the 2015 version of Quickbooks for MAC?  If so will I be able to transpose my older Quick books company files to the Yosemite compatible version once the application is installed?  Thanks for any help

It would be far better to buy the latest version of Quickbooks for Mac - you have a version that will not run with a version of Mac OS X higher than Snow Leopard.  To use a Windows version you will have to install BootCamp and then Windows.  It would be far more productive to get the latest version and use it in native mode under Yosemite.

    Drop Down Deals, MacKeeper and other popups have taken over Safari v 8.0; I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Help!
    Whenever I click on a link or open a page these popups show up.
    I've tried the following:
    Cleared website history and data, and gone to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > and removed all website data.
    then restarted my computer
    In Finder, holding down Option and clicking on Go to find the hidden Library file:
    deleted/moved to trash the following files:
    caches
    internet plugins
    launch agents
    any plist files in safari folder
    Then, restarted my macbook pro and then emptied the trash
    I've Safari > Preferences > Security > blocked pop up windows
    What should I try next?
    PLEASE HELP ME!!
    Thank you,

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
    There may also be a file named
               com.something.helper.plist
    in the same folder.
    If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

  • I want to use QuickBooks for my very snmall bussinesso the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

    I want to use QuickBooks for my very small bussiness, the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

    QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
    The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
    There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
    If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.

    is this a QB problem or a adobe problem?

    In a finder window highlight and right click the folder you are trying to save to and select Get Info. In the window that opens look at the bottom to see if you have Read/Write permissions. If you don't click the Plus sign and add your Admin Username to the list and give it full Read/Write permissions.
    Open Disk Utility and on the First Aid tab select Repair Permissions and let it run.

  • Anyone using Quickbooks 2011 on Lion??

    I've been using Quickbooks on my old G4 and have just purchased a new iMac.  I know my old quickbooks won't work on my new iMac, so I've been thinking about buying Quickbooks 2011.  The reviews for it, however, are horrible.  I have a very small business and use Quickbooks to generate about 50 invoices a month and track general business expenses.  I don't need it to write checks or do any payroll stuff.  Just wondering if anyone out there is using Quickbooks 2011 with Lion and would be willing to share your experience with it. 
    Thanks very much!
    Tony

    I suggest if the reviews are terrible, to move to working with a spreadsheet again.  At least with a spreadsheet you have total control over the appearance and numbers that are shown.  http://www.neooffice.org/ has an excellent spreadsheet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • When using OS X yosemite 10.10.2 trying to access a web page I get sever error 403

    When using OS X yosemite 10.10.2 and trying to access a web site I get the message server error 403 only with one site (loan application)

    Web server error 403 = Forbidden - It's nothing to do with Yosemite nor Safari.  The web server may be having a problem.  Usually it's a permissions issue on the server side.  But one thing that can happen is that you have a bookmark that is pointing somewhere that is not allowed.  Try navigating to the page from the root of the server.  You might have to start at an earlier authentication page then navigate to the "loan application" page.  It's possible you bookmarked a page that requires authentication and the web server loan application software was not written in a friendly manner to redirect you back to a login page.  Also try clearing your cache and cookies.  Safari menu -> Clear History and Website Data.  You might have an old cookie that needs to be deleted.

  • Can Adobe InDesign 3 be used on Mac Yosemite OS?

    Can Adobe InDesign 3 be used on Mac Yosemite OS?

    Congratulations, Jackie. There are some people who have had an early version (CS3, CS4) on their computer and upgraded to Yosemite, and it continues to work.
    However, it's very touch and go, and if you have to newly install or reinstall, there are no guarantees, and no support.
