Click to expand.In my case, in these days of 'identity theft' I just will not trust all of the log-ins and passwords to all of my valuable financial accounts to Intuit or any other software for that matter. I just once a month, go to the website for my financial transactions (primarily credit cards) and download a QIF file and then manually IMPORT these QIF files into the proper account in Quicken 2007. Since I primarily use my credit cards for most of my financial transations, I have them all imported into Quicken for all of my needs! I did this for years in Quicken Deluxe 2002 and Quicken '98 before that until I was required to update to Quicken 2007 when Macs switched to the Intel processor. Earlier in this thread I said I had settled on Moneydance. I am currently using Quicken for Windows in a Windows XP virtual machine on our home server, but Quicken expires this April and the new Quicken for Windows won't run on Windows XP. Moneydance's Quicken import took a couple of hours to clean up the conversion errors and I found deficiencies in its handling of investments.

We run Quicken for Mac 2007, updated to 16.2.3 to run on our Macs with OS X10.10.5. Like you, we have been running Quicken since the early 1990’s and have every financial transaction that was recordable on it – mortgage, investments, banking, and cash. Oct 12, 2018 - Solved: Hello, I have a client who still use Quicken 2007 Mac for their bookkeeping. Last updated October 12, 2018 1:45 AM. So I'm looking to convert data to the latest Quickbooks Mac version.

So I decided to try Quicken for Mac 2016. The import was flawless and it seems to have all the features I used in Quicken for Windows. It is noticeably slower, has a cleaner interface that often requires more keystrokes to get the job done, and won't work with the database on my server to share across multiple systems.

But we decided to go with it to minimize disruptions. If they put the promised effort into Quicken for Mac it will assuredly be a winner. I'm the new product manager for Quicken Mac and I'd like to provide some background and answers to questions many of you have. 1) Why don't you just improve Quicken Mac 2007 - Quicken 2007 was built before Mac OS X and is based on Mac technology that Apple no longer supports such as QuickTime. If you're a software developer you'll know that building on top of a code base that is that ancient is nearly impossible and fruitless so we can't just pick up from where that product left off. 2) Why does Quicken Essentials suck?

A green ‘light’ next to the account name indicates that your email account is successfully configured with UNC Chapel Hill’ s Microsoft Office 365 service. If you wish to only access your Exchange mail account, you need a Mac that includes Apple Mail version 4.0 or higher. An Apple computer running OS X 10.6 or newer is required to experience full Exchange support: mail, contacts and calendar synchronization. Settings for office 365 outlook on mac.

- Quicken Essentials was a complete rewrite of Quicken from the ground up that uses the latest Mac technology and was to be used as a platform for future Quicken Mac development. It's difficult to rebuild all of the functionality that was in the original Quicken overnight and so the Essentials product was born and was supposed to be for first-time or basic users.

It was never designed and should never have been marketed as a replacement for Quicken 2007. The goal was to continue to build on this version until it had the depth of what long time Quicken users expected. I would also argue that it didn't really 'suck' but instead lacked the feature set that many Quicken users wanted and expected and kind of got a bum rap. 3) Why doesn't Intuit just release a product that is equivalent to Quicken Windows on the Mac? Does Intuit hate the Mac? - Building a product from scratch that has the functionality of a 30 year old product in a few years is impossible.

After Quicken Essentials was released and Mint was purchased, Intuit decided to kill Quicken Essentials because the Mac market was small and shrinking and all development was stopped. Companies don't do things out of spite. Management at the time looked at the numbers and the Mac desktop market didn't look that promising compared to the opportunity that the web-based Mint offered. This is why the functionality of Quicken for Mac is so far behind. No work was done for 3+ years.

The reality is the Mac market changed over that time. Quicken sales continued to be strong and after Apple released the iPhone, Mac sales started to sky rocket. In the Summer of 2012 we were given the go ahead to create a team and to start working on Quicken for Mac again but by then all the original Quicken Essentials developers had left and there was a lot of knowledge lost. The team had to be rebuilt and everything had to be re-learned. This takes time. This effort eventually became Quicken for Mac 2015.
