Using a Prior Version of Quicken Mac?

We're very excited about the all-new Quicken Essentials for Mac. Not only does it solve the core Quicken jobs better, it also provides the ease of use and elegant user interface Mac customers have come to expect from their applications.

Quicken Mac 2007 and earlier users should note that this is a brand new product, so some of the features you've grown used to may not be included. Because we want to make sure we're providing you with the solution that best meets your needs, we've answered a few questions that can help you determine whether or not Quicken Essentials for Mac is right for you.

1. Can I track my investments?
Yes, Quicken Essentials for Mac allows you to track the overall value of your investment accounts and the value of your specific holdings. It will not, however, track investment buys and sells, nor will it provide some advanced investment performance reports. If you need more more advanced investment features, try Quicken Mac 2007.

2. Can I export my data to TurboTax?
Quicken Essentials for Mac does not support that capability. If you'd like that functionality, we recommend trying Quicken Mac 2007.

3. Can I pay my bills within Quicken?
While you cannot pay bills within the product itself ("direct bill pay"), you can track your bills and make sure you have enough cash to pay them when they're due. A few alternatives available include using Quicken Mac 2007 or using the bill pay functionality on Quicken Bill Pay.

4. Can I transfer my data from an older version of Quicken Mac?
Yes, you can transfer data from Quicken Mac 2005, 2006 and 2007.

5. Can I convert my Quicken Windows data to Quicken Essentials for Mac?
Yes, it converts Quicken Windows 2007, 2008 and 2009 data.

4 out of 5 stars Not that bad   July 24, 2010
J. Wiegmann (Northern, VA United States)
I have used some version of Quicken since about 1990. Moved to a Mac a couple of years ago and waited for the "new" version of Quicken for Mac forever. This version finally came out, but the reviews scared me away for a few months. Ultimately, I figured that I didn't really use the features that people missed so I gave it a try. I like it. Not perfect, but good enough for use. Hopefully it will get slicker in the future.


1 out of 5 stars You will be very unhappy with this!   July 23, 2010

I have used quicken in the past on windows and it was useful. I bought a mac and decided to get the latest quicken hoping that there would be improvements. Wow was I way off. This software is completely useless for anyone who wants to budget, bill pay, etc. The only thing it really does is track you spending by downloading from your bank. I could not even get it to allow my wife and I to share the data file on the same mac. The user interface is horrible. I wish I could return mine. I bought it and did not get to working on it for a couple months. GRRR. This is it, I will no longer buy Intuit products anymore.


1 out of 5 stars Intuit - shame on you   July 23, 2010

I can't believe any big time software company would put out a product this inferior for what has to be a large population of potential users.

What a huge disappointment. If you're looking to do nothing more than keep track of a checkbook (forget about actually writing and printing actual checks) this might work. Otherwise, don't waste your money.



1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work!   July 23, 2010
SoCalBuyer
This product currently does not work. At all. After too long trying to get through to India for customer support, the answer is that the product's inability to even get started with basic information entry is "a known issue and we are working on it". Why was this product even released?? It is completely un-usable. 1 Star is too high a rating.


1 out of 5 stars Essentials is bizarre   July 17, 2010

I had to upgrade Quicken for my new bank account. Bizarrely, I can't print checks, which is the main reason that I use Quicken. No-one should buy this upgrade.
