what financial software similar to quicken does apple use?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
If you mean to ask what financial software you can run on a Mac, there are a number of options including Quicken. Which would best suit you will depend on what you need to do. If you do a web search for "mac os x finance software", you'll find a number of options and sites that discuss them.
If that's not what you meant, please clarify.

Thank You varjak paw. Your response was very helpful. One other question, as I am considering going to a Mac desktop. I currently use Quicken Premier 2011. Would the Qdata files convert back to Quicken for Mac 2007? If that is not a good idea, then what software would you suggest I look more closely into that would run on a Mac as close to Quicken Premier 2011 as possible, and more importantly, convert the files from Quicken Premier 2011?
Thank You.

Sorry, I don't know if Quicken 2007 will import Premier files. That would be question probably best posed to Intuit support.
As to other programs, I use iBank from Igg Software and have been satisfied with it. It can import QIF, OFX, and QFX, so if Quicken Premier uses or can export any of those formats, it's likely iBank could import the data. Igg offers a 30-day demo version of iBack so you could try it out for yourself. For details, see:

varjak paw,
Thank you again. You have been very helpful. I will look into ibank and one or two others based on your first reply.

Have a look also at Fortora Fresh Finance. I changed to that from Quicken 2004 (since we can't get sensible updates to Quicken in the UK), when I changed from Windows to iMAC last year.
It seems to do all that I want and is pretty slick as well. Equally so, there a lot of others even within the App Store.

Thank you. I will look into Fortora also. Appreciate your input.
