#QUICKEN ESSENTIALS FOR MAC REVIEW 2012 UPDATE#
If you have previously used Quicken 2005 through 2007, even if you have migrated to Quicken Essentials you should be able to import your data into this new release.įor some people who have since moved on from Quicken, this update may have come a bit too late however, for those who are still using Snow Leopard and have avoided Lion because of the lack of Quicken compatibility, then this update may be for you. Intuit specifically mentions this version of Quicken is a re-engineered version that will work on Lion, but is intended for those who have used Quicken 2005 through 2007 on older versions of OS X, and recommends that new users of Quicken choose its Quicken Essentials package. The updated Quicken will cost $14.99, and is available as a direct download or on CD-ROM. In December of last year, Intuit released a statement on its Web site that it would be porting the older program to work properly in Lion, promising a spring release, and today has lived up to that promise by making the program available for purchase through its Web site.
Had to call Quicken and they sent me a newer version which translated much better but still not perfect. The file transfer was full of flaws as well, so it took me hours to get it right. Cant generate reports like I used to and this is very important to me. Intuit claimed these features were heavily dependent on code that was specific for the PowerPC chip and could not be easily ported to the Intel platform, but given the high demand for these features, Intuit looked into getting Quicken 2007 running in Lion. It totally sucks compared to Quicken for Mac which runs on earlier versions of OSX. While Intuit has developed Quicken Essentials for OS X that uses Intel-native code, the program is missing a number of features from the older Quicken packages, making it an unattractive option for those who have heavily used Quicken in the past. Unfortunately this move did prevent a number of older software packages from running in Lion, with one of these being the popular Quicken 2007 personal finance software for OS X. When OS X Lion was released, Apple dropped all support for the PowerPC processor by removing the Rosetta dynamic translator that allowed PowerPC code to run on Intel-based Macs.
