Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3161536?answerId=15561236022#15561236022

Last month I switched from Quicken 2007 to iBank 4, for what I use it for it works great. Use the 30 trial and the tutorials iBank has to make the transition easy and you should be good to go.

Then I think iBank will do that just fine. I do use the investment banking functions and find the way it works similar to Quicken.

What I'd recommend is downloading the trial and then use both Quicken and iBank in parallel until you make a final decision.

Just to add to the thread..

As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.

I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.

I am looking for the following features:

Check Printing

Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)

Custom Reports

Memorized Reports

Scheduled Transactions

I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.

Sure would appreciate some advice!

Many thanks!

Simplest advice I can give is to run multiple OSs, if you need the Lion stuff. For me, I'll just retain a copy for exploration, but use SL for my day-to-day computing.😉

Yet another piece of software biting the dust if I upgrade to 10.7 with a 10.5.8 machine. And this one is way to important to play around with. I track all expenses for 2 accounts, investments, and loans.

Quicken Essentials does not track investments. I find it difficult to be cheerful about this 4.5 year transition Apple has undertaken when I purchased a machine, printers, etc. and am now learning the almost 4k investment into a Mac and software not only means loss of software packages but also a significant monetary lost.

My love a Mac stability continues but my being enamored with Apple has slowly soured. 😟😠

So? Don't run Lion. However, for better performance, I do recommend Snow Leopard.

Please don't blame Apple. Intuit has no regard for us as Mac users. They did the same thing several years ago when OS 9 was ended. They would no longer upgrade Quicken for Mac. Several years later they came out with Quicken 2005 which would work with OS X. Now according to the email today they aren't sure they'd give us anything but Quicken Essentials which isn't even a partial program. Apple has no control over this and they do a great job of upgrading the OS at a reasonable price. Pressure Intuit through their message board or Twitter or whatever to bring us a full version of Quicken.

I have used Quicken products for many years. I am currently usingQuicken 2007 primarily to track investments. I have over 30 years ofinvestment data saved up. Most of the messages I have seen so far onthis website deal with banking functions. I don't use Quicken 2007 forbanking. In light of Lion not being compatible with Quicken 2007, isthere an alternative program that has similar capabilities for trackinginvestments (tracking transactions, dividends, capital gains, etc.) that can be used with Lion?

Read the thread there are many that track investments including iBank.

I have been using MoneyWell for about a year now. It has a different metaphor than quicken, but is very attractive and has a clean interface.

I think everyone that is a registered user of Quicken 2007 for Mac got that. IMHO too little too late.

Interestingly, I've not gotten the e-mail and I'm a registered owner. Too bad there's no Quicken 2012 which combines all Mac and windoze stuff into one unified app for both platforms. However, since I'm still running it on SL, running it on Lion won't be a strain.
