Using Quicken with new Macs

I am using Quicken v.2001 on my G3. I have 2 operating systems installed on the computer (OS9.2 and OS10.1.5) I usuually start up in OS10, but because Quicken will not operate in Classic Mode, I change the startup to OS9.2 whenever I need to work in Quicken. This is the only application I have that really requires it.
I plan to purchase a new Mac this year which will come with the newest version of OS10. I plan also to use the newest version of Quicken on it--will there be problems with the latest version of Quicken on OS10.4 recognizing the files from such an old version of Quicken from an old operating system? Or will I need to update Quicken even before I quit using my G3 so that the transition will be smooth?

A good accounting friend told me to make hard copies before upgrading any Quicken stuff. (hard copies = on paper!) Quicken doesn't play nice with its own data, let alone imported version data.
Good luck!

  • Using ASD with new Mac mini

    Can I use my 17" Apple Studio Display (LCD purchased in 2004)with a new Mac Mini?
    Does HDMI port on a 2010 Mac Mini support the ASD LCD with a male 35 pin connector?
    If so, I need an adapter with a female end for the LCD connector and a male end for the female Mac Mini HDMI port. Can't find an adapter with that configuration.
    Thanks.

    You would need a DVI to ADC converter. Apple used to make one (the Apple M8661LL/B DVI to ADC Display Adapter), but have discontinued it so they're getting hard to find. Gefen still makes a DVI to ADC adapter, I believe. You would then need either a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, or an HDMI to DVI adapter.
    A new DVI 17" monitor would probably be not much more expensive than the DVI to ADC converter, which run upwards of $100.
    Regards.

  • What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.

    What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.

    Two thoughts:
    (1)     It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
    (2)     You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
    Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
    Good luck.

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

  • Passport external hard drive with new Mac Mini

    I am getting a new mac mini soon and wondering if the external hard drive (passport 500GB) I use with my pc will work on the new mac. I have all my photos and music on the passport and want to now use it with the mac only. The pc laptop os going away so i will not be useing the hard drive between t

    If it is formatted MS-DOS FAT-32, then the Mac should have no problem both reading and writing to it.
    If it is formatted Windows NTFS, then the Mac can only read and not write to it. So on that note, you should be able to move your photo's and music from the NTFS format, then reformat it to either MS-DOS FAT-32 or GUID Mac OS Extended for use with the Mac.
    For more clarification, see > Sharing drives | Macworld
    To reformat the Passport, see > How to format a drive for Mac OS X - YouTube just keep in mind that reformatting will erase all data on the drive.

    I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software for work. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-Mac is compatible with new mac computers with the updated Yosemite software? *No previous adobe CS software versions are on this computer

    There are known technical issues with any older version on Yosemite, even CS6. Some can be worked out, others may not be relevant to you, some will remain unsolved.

  • If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space, I mean I have to delete mu hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using to with new information?

    If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space [externak hard drive], I mean I have to delete my hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using it with new information?

    Time Machine does not provide archival storage.
    If you delete a file from your disk it will eventually be deleted from your TM backup without any notice to you.
    You need a second external disk to use for archival storage.
    You also need a third disk for backups of the second disk.

  • I can't use Quicken with Lion.  Now what?

    I can't use Quicken with Lion.  Now what?

    Peter,
    Another solution, though not particularly convinient, would be to create a Snow Leopard boot drive on a external drive that you can switch to when you want to run Quicken.

    Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

    I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.

  • Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

    Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

    If you mean the application AIM for Mac, it will depend on your download speed.
    If you mean "Can I use iChat with an AIM a screen name and does it cost anything ?" then the answer is Yes you can and no it does not cost and there is no download to do.
    If you mean "Can I use the AIM service with an @mac screen name and can this be done for free ? " then the answer is again yes.
    A trail account cost nothing and will work in ichat after the 60 days is up
    A Paid for but Lapsed account will also work in iChat and for this purpose can now be considered free.
    As I said and hinted at before your first question does not make it clear what you are actually asking.
    The Application AIM for Mac is stuck at version 4.7 and does not do Video or Audio Only chats.
    It has things that are useful in tweaking Buddy Lists in iChat but it is not specifically needed to contact AIM Buddies.
