It is similar to the reason why eventhough a 50 circular saw is a bargain at first, most construction contractors agree it really only works well for handyman doing some minor projects and it simply is not robust enough. For Mac Quicken 2005 Premier Home and Business (1 cd) Quicken Legal Business.Quicken Essentials For Mac is a great program for small contractors but it may not the power to do what you need it to do. Photoshop 7 Essential Post Production (1 cd) Adobe PhotoShop 7 for Mac. Princess Gail and I use Quicken every day to keep track of our vast empire (ROTF LMAO!) □.We needed our old Q 2004 data file to be converted to the QE format, but this could NOT be done on Mac OS 10.7 Lion. Even the Rosetta translator is not supported.So after we upgraded our computers to Mac OS 10.7 Lion, we quickly discovered that Quicken would not run, and we had no access to years of financial data, most importantly our current tax year info and our current checkbook entries.The newest Quicken product is Quicken Essentials (QE) which does run on the Mac OS 10.7 Lion. The new Mac OS 10.7 Lion does not support old PowerPC programs at all. We were oblivious to the PowerPC and Intel incompatibility that was to become a critical issue with Mac OS 10.7 Lion.Apparently, the previous version of Mac OS, 10.6, still had a way to read old PowerPC programs (including our old Q 2004) by way of a translator called Rosetta that worked in the background.
Quicken Essentials 1.7.2 Download Quicken EssentialsOne was to find or borrow a newer Mac model that had not been upgraded to 10.7 Lion, install QE, and use it to convert my Q 2006 data file to the QE format.The other option, which is what I actually did, was to learn how to partition the hard disk on my current Mac which is running 10.7 Lion, and load an older Mac OS into the new partition so I could use that to install QE and do my file conversion.You can do a search to find easy tutorials on how to partition a Mac hard disk. QE requires the Intel chip of the newer Mac models.At this point I had two options. I was able to convert our Q 2004 data file to the Q 2006 format.I then tried loading the new QE program on that old Mac but it would not run on an old PowerPC Mac. I managed to find Q 2006 and loaded into an old Mac running an older Mac OS. Further, QE can only convert files from Quicken 20, not from our ancient 2004 version.So we first had to find a copy of Quicken 2006 or 2007. I was then able to convert my Q 2006 data file to the QE format. So I loaded 10.6 into that partition and then I installed QE into that. That was more than twice the space needed to load the 8GB Mac OS 10.6. You will want to go to their site and compare features. I wish I had known that!Quicken Essentials is not as full featured as Quicken for Mac 2007. It was completely worth the effort.The most important point: You can avoid all our troubles by simply buying Quicken Essentials before you upgrade to Mac OS 10.7 Lion. Whew! It was a lot of work, but we had over 6,000 bank transactions on that file. I can’t imagine we were the only ones with this bummer of a problem! But we figured it out and now we’re happy! □If this was helpful, please share or “like.” Thank you.Intuit will help you, and it should work out with a lot less pain than you went through, if you manage to find your data files. Intuit is a good company and will certainly respond to that.I hope this is helpful to someone. The Apple Macintosh platform is dramatically gaining market share, especially with laptop and iPad users, where others are in decline. I predict that Intuit will eventually come out with a full featured Quicken for Mac that will run on Lion. For those out there who were using features in Q 2007 not available in QE, I suggest you get QE anyway and hold on to all your older data files. Particleshop serial numberFollowed the Quicken Essentials instructions for moving that data into my new program. Compressed it, attached it to the Quicken site by following the easy directions, and the next morning, got an email with directions for downloading my now modified-for-Quicken Essentials data. This all worked very well.Found my data file on my hard drive by looking for a file that had the extension. Once I did that, I was to upload a compressed version of my Quicken Data file according to directions they gave. If you don’t, write to me and I’ll help.I contacted Intuit and they converted my files for me.Intuit sent a link for me to click on leading to a page where I could type in a case number they provided, my email, and a PIN they provided. The problem is that I have done a search for files ending in. They can only convert data they receive, after all. I don’t know how that information could have been separated from the rest, but it didn’t end up in the Quicken Essentials files once I performed the upload.I have alerted Quicken/Intuit to this problem, and they are gamely trying to help me find that missing data, even though it is probably here in MY computer. For some reason, the entries from Apthrough November 2011 are not there. Then I was told (by Intuit’s “support” ) that I should get purchase Quicken 2007. I bought Quicken Essentials, which of course didn’t work. Who knows?Good luck to the rest of us who have “old” Quicken and end up moving to Lion without reading the fine print.I don’t know how to do the partition method, but have spent days trying to upgrade my old Quicken, because I have Mt. Now, my problem is that I can’t find 2005 or 2006. He told me I need 2005 or 2006 in order to eventually use Quicken Essentials. He swore he could do it, and of course in the end, he couldn’t, because my Quicken is too old. I then got really desperate and had someone remotely control my computer in order to upgrade. We are supposed to be able to return products if we are unhappy with them, however, I haven’t figured out how to do that either. My whole life from the last several years is on that.By the way, I really detest Intuit for the complete and total lack of support. As I’m sure you can understand, I am really desperate. I am happy to purchase a copy from you if that is still an option. I opened the newly created QIF export in the old Mac from the new Lion version and saved a copy in the new Quicken Backup folder. I opened the Quicken for Mac 2007 Lion compatible version on the new mac and used the open file option from the file drop down menu. I then used the terminal mode restart on the old Mac and connected to the new iMac(intel) running OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) with a firewire cable (needed a cable converter for the old (400) and new (800)firewire port). The items missing were mostly preferences and setup configurations. Now not everything transferred over to the new version but the accounts all did with correct balances as well.
