Why is Quicken 2015 an "Editor's Choice"?

I don't quite understand how the "editor's choice" mechanism is supposed to work. Quicken for the Mac is widely regarded as terrible --- clearly demonstrated by its reviews on the App Store. Yet Apple has this marked as an Editor's Choice.
How is one supposed to take Apple's "Editors' Choice" seriously?

"After two years, the app discovery process is still a mystery to some and there has been a lot of speculation about what it takes to get featured on the App Store."

NYT Editor's Choice app not loading

I just got my iPad and everything is working fine except the NYT Editor's Choice app will not load. I try to open the app and it just says loading and doesn't do anything. I have tried reinstalling the app numerous times but that hasn't worked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try it again. I just did and it loaded fairly quickly. All of these ( USA Today, etc. ) have issues from time to time. If it still doesn't work for you delete the app and then redownload it. By the way I really enjoy the app as well.

MAC Quicken 2015 vs. Quicken 2007...

MAC QUICKEN 2015, will it bring in ...
Just bought MAC QUICKEN 2015 and transferred data from MAC QUICKEN 2007. Half the good eliminates from 2007 are either gone, or did not transfer. This, after the website says it is quick and easy to get your data files from the MAC 2007 software.
The following operating functions are missing from the automatic data migration or just are gone! Is this what Intuit charges $200 to recover???
Scheduled transactions …[yes] [no]
User defined reports that can be kept …[yes] [no]
Transfers between registers …[yes] [no]
Setup local sales tax percentage option …[yes] [no]
Bulk online account updates, not just one account at a time …[yes] [no]
Define the number of backups to keep …[yes] [no]
USER Defined MENU BAR Options:
    QuickFill button in Menu Bar…[yes] [no]
    VOID button in Menu Bar…[yes] [no]
    Memorize transactions button in Menu Bar…[yes] [no]
    User defined reports …[yes] [no]
    Quick Reports button in Menu Bar, not the same as above …[yes] [no]

In the past Intuit just insulted Mac users, now they have committed a class action against them, with the misleading name of their update of Quicken Essentials to "Quicken 2015 for Mac!"
Thank you for itemizing the missing features, so that we can link interested users over to your post.
I just continue to use Quicken 2007; would this work for you?

Why doesn't "Elements 10 Editor only" allow the use of Nik Software plug ins??

I was very excited yesterday when I noticed in the Apple App store that a version of Elements called "Elements 10 Editor only" was for sale. Since I never use the Organizer this is perfect for me. Unfortunately, it will not allow Nik software plugins to be installed. There is no "plugins folder" included. In every other way the "Elements 10 Editor only" version is wonderful. Loads fast, runs clean and fast and is just a wonderful product, and something I've been hoping would come along for years. I can't believe Adobe didn't allow for the use of plug-ins. Looks like I just wasted $80.
Any suggestions or work-arounds to allow plug ins to be used?

Thank you, Barbara! I spent considerable time today on the phone with Nik Software. Both Viveza and Color Efex will work on the full version of Elements 10. NOT on the version "Elements 10 EDITOR ONLY". The reason is because Adobe did not include a plug in folder when they released Elements 10 EDITOR ONLY. Thanks, Barbara for the screen shot..however, the Editor only version has no folders at all!!! It's really strange. Why would Adobe release an Editor Only version of Elements that doesn't work with plug ins? I allowed Nik Software techs remote access to my Mac, and while version 9 has the same folder breakdown you provided, this Editor Only version of 10 has nothing except the application icon! You have been wonderfully helpful as usual, Barbara, thank you very much. It looks, though that I just wasted $80. Oh well, back to PSE9 !
Here's an update....using your method..I was able to find a folder for plug-ins within the program file. Used it to try and install Viveza and Color Efex, but Adobe says it "does not accept that type of file".

Describe Family Sharing using Quicken 2015

I can't find a description of how family sharing works. Quicken 2015 has Family Sharing enabled. I want to have Quicken 2015 program which I recently purchased accessible from two different user accounts on family computer with each user having a different Quicken 2015 datafile. I have already successfully created a datafile under my user account. Does Family Sharing allow me to set up a different datafile under my parent's user account? How do I register a Family Sharing program in the second user account?
Any pointer to a description of Family Sharing would be helpful. I tried to locate a description of it in Mac App store but couldn't find one. Thanks for your help.

That's a question for the Quicken 2015 support personnel or user's forum.
The following is from this Apple document: OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Family Sharing lets up to six members of your family share their iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.

Refund Quicken 2015 for Mac

I just purchased Quicken 2015 from the Mac App Store. After it downloaded and installed, I opened it and started to look at the new features. Suddenly, I wanted to know how I could run the new version and my old version (Quicken 2007) at the same time so I could carefully migrate.
So I went to the Intuit web site to try to find out how to contact someone. It was there that I found out that the single most important feature I need in Quicken, paying bills from within Quicken, has been eliminated and I must "vote" to have it re-included!!! The product is useless to me and I want to find out how I can get it off my Mac and get my money back!!!

iBank includes online Bill Pay. It is described beginning on page 179 of the user manual.
No bill pay software, including Quicken, can guarantee everything you ask for in the last paragraph. Much of that is dependent on your particular bank. For example every bank does not process payments to every business electronically so they frequently use paper checks and the mail. I use Wells Fargo bill pay and for a large percentage of my payments Wells Fargo prints a paper check and mails the check. Wells Fargo bill pay allows me to specify a "Send On" date. The "Deliver By" date is estimated and in most cases is 2 days later for payments they process electronically and 5 days later for payments they send by mail. Money is deducted from my account on the "Send on" date. Again, that is Wells Fargo and your bank may handle bill pay differently.
Following is an excerpt of iBanks manual from the Bill Pay section:
"Next, enter a due date for the payment. By default, iBank shows the earliest date for which your bank can guarantee delivery. As long as you enter a date that is no earlier than the default, iBank will ensure that the payment is received on or before the date you enter. Enter a category for the transaction or click the “Add Split” button to split the transaction and assign multiple categories. Enter the payment amount and any notes you want to be submitted with the payment, then click “Continue” to proceed.
"Each bank handles online payments differently. Some banks wait until the payment’s due date before withdrawing funds, some process the payment on the same date you submit it, and some choose a date in between. Contact your bank to learn more about how it handles online bill payments."
I also just discovered that Quicken has an Online bill pay service for $9.95 a month. Not sure how that relates to bill pay features in their software and seems expensive for something most banks offer directly for no charge, although I guess it would save time if you didn't have software such as iBank and had multiple checking accounts.
Related to your first post -- were you able to get a refund for your purchase?

Adobe Reader is downloading files to Numbers instead of to Quicken 2015 on my Mac

Adobe Reader is downloading files to Numbers instead of to Quicken 2015 on my Mac.

Actually, Adobe Reader cannot "download" files.
While Adobe Reader XI provides links to various Adobe hosted online subscription services it is the "service" that does any "download".
However, non of these "acrobat.com" services are related to Quicken or Numbers or other non-Adobe applications or services.
As "download" implies use of a browser perhaps the issue you have is related somehow to the browser you are using.
Be well...

MSI GT72 2QE wins Editor's Choice Award (PC Comparatif, France)

PC Comparatif, a media from France where lies the capital of fashion and lives users who are picky and have high quality standards, after comparing the G751 with MSI GT72, gave MSI GT72 2QE the Editor's Choice with a full score rating.
Quate in English (translated)
"Throughout the whole reviewing process, we had been asking ourselves whether we could find enough reasons, after our thorough examinations, to give this model a maximum score. The suspense lasted until the very end. We finally confirmed that it was indeed the latest model we had tested recently that had such a privilege to win this compliment. If the G751 makes us exciting (especially its silence and the aggressive price), GT72 possesses all those features and there is no denying that GT72 surpasses the G751, not necessarily in terms of power since both have equal components, but in terms of features/functionalities. MSI did not fail to make this model an ideal alternative for the desktop gaming environment...All those elements have already made GT72 a great choice. But in the end, the decisive variable is the product upgradability: MSI GT72 supports completely change of the GPU, the core component for gaming machine, so that you can keep your configurations the most update ones. Given the investment one has to make in a portable gaming machine, this option shouldn't be just a dream. "
Quate in original language (in French)
"Durant tout le temps de ce comparatif, nous nous sommes demande si un produit allait finalement trouver suffisamment grace a nos yeux pour que nous lui accordions la note ultime. Le suspense aura dure jusqu'au bout, puisqu'il s'est avere que c'est le dernier modele qui est passe entre nos mains qui a eu ce privilege.
Et si le G751 reste notre petit coup de coeur, eu egard a toutes ses qualites (son silence, notamment) et au tarif tres agressif qu'il arbore, on ne peut nier que le GT72 le surpasse, pas necessairement en termes de puissance, puisqu'a composants egaux, tous les modeles se valent, mais plutot sur le plan des fonctionnalites, MSI n'ayant veritablement rien omis pour faire de son poulain une alternative ideale a un environnement destop gaming...Autant d'elements qui font deha du GT72 une reference. Mais finalement, l'argument decisif aura ete l'evolutivite du produit : MSI supporte, en effet, pleinement sur les GT72 le changement du GPU, composant central s'agissant d'une machine gaming, en commercialisant des kits de mise a jour pour ce dernier. Compte tenu de l'investissement que represente un portable gaming, cette possibilite devrait en faire rever plus d'un"

I found one video teaching users how to do the GPU upgrade on their own. Enjoy!

Why does PS Elements 13 Editor require two PhotoshopElementsLive.exe apps also?

When I activate PS Elements 13 Editor, two apps of PhotoshopElementsLive.exe show as running in the Task Manager. Each requires 35,000 K of memory while the editor uses 117,000 K. I don't remember seeing this with PS Elements 12. Why the need for these extra streams?

RAM or the CPU could be damaged. Run the hardware test that came with the machine. If unrevealing, it is more likely the RAM is bad*:

Where do updates get installed - why doesn't it give us a choice?

I keep my personal program files on a separate external drive in case of need to
reinstall. So my Reader is on this separate drive.
But it is not clear that this is where the updates go.
Most programs give you a location choice as to where to install the updates.
Why doesn't Adobe - and will they change this?

In addition to the above reply, you do get a choice when doing the original Adobe Reader install; see the option "Change Destination Folder" below

Why can't my copy editors use the page view?

I am using InDesign CS3 on a Mac to lay out pages, and my copy editors are using InCopy CS4 on PC, but they can't see the layout view of pages. All they see is the generic, one-column format. How can we get them to se what actually is on our pages?

Are the InDesign users actually exporting InCopy content from InDesign? Do they know how?
If not, I'm afraid there's little I can offer you here except perhaps to at least sign up for a month to month subscription to Lynda.com and view Anne Marie's excellent videos on InCopy.

Photoshop elements 9. Why does it keep saying "editor busy"?

Every time I try to edit a photo in PSE 9 it says unable to complete command. Editor busy. I don't know what it's busy doing but how do I correct this problem?

Thanks for the info. Still need these:
#2: Go to Help...About Photoshop Elements.
#3: Just give us a complete list of the steps, one by one, of what you're doing. (I can't see your computer screen too well from here. ) Starting with what program you're opening and how you're opening it.
If I'm understanding your previous comments correctly, I'm not sure whether you're running into the bug discussed in the other posts.

Why does the BlackBoard HTML editor freeze and crash Firefox 3.6?

Black Board uses a HTML editor that seems to be based on JAVA. I teach by added posts to threads and can use the editor or disable the editor in either case after adding some text the window freezes and I cannot add text or delete text. If I enable the HTML editor the text is gone, but if I then disable it I can add a few letters, but if I try to delete, it will again freeze. Disabling and enabling the HTML editor works several times and the FireFox will crash. Actually I do not care about the HTML editor. My preference is just to disable the HTML editor and add my classroom comments.
Oddly the editor works on Safari, but its slow and clunky, so I disable the HTML editor and I can add my raw text with some selective HTML to get paragraphs and bold. I would rather go back to FireFox, but for now Safari works better.
This is the HTML Editor per the about window:
Objects Edit-on Pro 4.2.106.1, packaged with WebCT on Vista

Try using CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ (:
And good luck with that girlfriend vs. X thingey!
