I have instructions from Quicken to import files. First I put the QXF files onto usb drive as instructed. I have usb in my imac and trying to find the usb dirve so I can import but in finder, all i have is external device and that will not open or is not recognized. Help!
iMac, One week old iMac
If your imac is only a week old, it is not PPC. PPC Macs are at least 7 years old.
I've asked this thread be moved.
The problem is with Quicken, the Mac version lags behind the PC version.
A machine running Lion or later needs to run Quicken '07 for Mac Lion. Addithonally, the USB drive should be formatted to run with OS X.
Try using QIF instead of QXF
MlchaelLAX in another thread posted the conversion instructions.
Yes,
That says to use QIF rather than QXF files
As did the post you replied to.
Thanks Baltwo, I never was able to get MichaelLAX to give me a direct link to that. I'll update my tip.

I must have missed your request for the direct link.
Where is your original request for the direct link, so that I can update the information in that thread, too?

I checked my SPAM folder and no email request from you there either...
Where did you make that request of me?
A couple weeks ago, in a thread you asked why I said it would cost $200 to have Quicken for Lion or later. I don't have time to search for it. But the link Intuit provided was in an obscure place, not directly linked off the page where they recommend people get Essentials instead. It would be nice if Intuit put it on the same page that lists Essentials and Quicken for Windows, but they don't. That has probably left many a Mac user wondering how they are going to get an inexpensive Quicken for their Mac.
As I suspected:
In the thread entitled: "Best 'Banking' app on OS X" (after discussing the "costs" of running Quicken for PC on a Mac) in response to my statement:
At the end of the day, since you state you have had no personal experience with Quicken since its '98 version, you should become aware that Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks) at $15 is a heck of a bargain and relatively little is missing from the PC version that is ultimately safe and usable.
you inquired of me where to find the link for the $15 version:
Where or where is the said $15 update? I see no link for it.

I faithfully responded 15 minutes later:

This is the link on where to purchase and download the full version of Quicken 2007 for Mac (Intel: Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks), as requested for $15.
You never requested that I provide for you a link to conversion instructions from Quicken for PC to Quicken for Mac (Intel). Had you done so, I am sure I would have provided that information, as well, on a similarly timely basis. 🙂
So long as we continue help each other out...

I am glad you now have that information to add to your "tip." 🙂
On a slightly related note:
The information provided to you by baltwo earlier in this thread is an attribution to me of the link to Intuit's instructions for the conversion from Quicken for PC to Quicken for Mac (Intel)
Ironically, even though baltwo cites my listing of that link (in another thread), you will note in that thread that I only found that Intuit support document after baltwo incorrect cited the Intuit support document on converting from Quicken for PC to Quicken for Mac (PPC)! 😁
Of course. Anyway, there is too much information out there. This page makes no reference to that $14.99, and would really help if Intuit added it there:

I suggest you not refer people to that page. It contains mostly PC products and the only Mac product is Quicken Essentials, which is generally loathed by most posters of this forum.
The best link, is the one that I directed you to earlier:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
Quicken for Mac (Intel: Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $14.99!
Admittedly, Intuit never makes it easy to find information on their products or support documents! 😠
