Quicken For Mac Archive
Greetings, Unwisely, I suspect, I decided a few days ago I would make my life more convenient by signing up for electronic banking with Quicken with my bank -- Bank of America, California. I was told to upgrade to 2003, but not 2004, because the bank does not support 2004. This should have been a huge red flag. 2003 is already out of production. I found an old but unregistered copy of 2003 on eBay. Ihad to force an OS 9.2.2 installation on my 8500, because 2003 is incompatible with OS 9.1.
That went okay except my slow-but-trusty Iomega external.

($100 down the drain!) I've received a great deal of contradictory information from several different Quicken and Bank of American tech support reps. Finally, I talked with an apparently knowledgeable Bank of America tech support rep who happens to be a Macintosh user. She said Quicken 2003 for the Macintosh is very different from the Windows version. In particular, she said, it has very limited electronic banking capabilities. She said that Quicken 2004 is equally limited in this regard. I inferred that Quicken 2003 and 2004 are half-assed ports from Windows.
Quicken, after 25 years of existence, has finally launched something that users have wanted in the personal finance app for a long time: a companion website that mirrors the features. Intuit is not a Mac friendly company. They make an OS X version of Quicken, but it is artificially crippled in order to try to get banks to pay them money. Intuit will only let you import files from banks that pay extra to let their customers download transactions into Quicken for Mac.
All the other tech support reps at Quicken and Bank of America seemed to take a different view of the matter, but I now suspect they knew nothing about the difference between Quicken 2003 for the Macintosh, versus the Windows product. Is there an alternate product more friendly to Macintosh users? Ideally, it would import Quicken data files. Please advise.
Best regards, and have a nice day. In article, Timothy Miller wrote: You could take a look at Moneydance.
I converted from Quicken 2003 several months ago, and have been very pleased, especially given my feelings about Intuit in general and Quicken Mac in particular! Their web site is down at the moment; they were caught up in the hurricane on the east coast.
Games for 2gb mac. Let’s talk about some games that run smoothly on a PC with 2GB RAM even without a Graphics Card. Best Games How can we play Games with a PC having 2GB RAM without a graphics card? But before we proceed, I must tell you, some of these games may lag while playing on high quality. Yes, it is possible to enjoy games with less compatible systems.
Try again in a couple of days. I'm running OS X. I think you may need OS X for Moneydance (can't check at the moment). -Dave -- 'Sometimes what seems to be enough smoke to guarantee a robust fire is actually just a cloud of dust from a passing bandwagon.' - Daniel Dennett.

So I'm very interested in anything that might be a good alternative. Did you import investment data from Quicken and, if so, how well did Moneydance handle it? Some comments on VersionTracker suggested it's not that good at importing a long investment history. I don't want to have to re-enter this type of data manually so if Moneydance can't handle it, I might be forced to struggle on with Q02.
Also, does it export files that can be read by Quicken, in case I try it out and decide I want to go back? I tried to access the web site for more information, but as you said, it's down. In article, ads123 wrote: I imported from Quicken 2003. The only problems I had revolved around the fact that I had previously truncated my Quicken data, and so I had some transactions which only had 'one side' (the other 'side' of the transaction having been in a no-longer-existing credit card account, for example). Moneydance is more strictly double-entry bookkeeping than Quicken, and so it 'made up' the other side of these transactions so that everything balanced. That wasn't a problem once I figured out what was going on.
Please help, I need to transfer information to the drive as soon as possible.
