Just upgraded to MAC OS Sierra and quicken essentials is not compatible. Have years of financial and tax info that needs to be accessed. Any help is appreciated.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12)
Revert to your previous operating system (it was all backed up right?), move the data and Quicken Essentials to a machine running a compatible version of OS X, or install a newer version of Quicken.

Same thing happened to me. I just purchased Quicken for Mac 2016. it imported my Quicken Essentials backup effortlessly and accurately.
Not sure what this response is resolving exactly. "It" refers to what exactly? If "it" simply imported "effortlessly" I'm not sure why this was an issue that many of us seem to have had in the first place. Can you please explain? What exactly do I do to import my quicken essentials backup to resolve the question at hand? Does this mean that the version of Quicken Essentials is done and I need to get the new version?? Do you know if Quicken is offering an update to make it compatible with Sierra?
Andres, I am sorry you did not find my post helpful. I will try to explain. I was using quicken essentials before upgrading to Sierra. After the upgrade to Sierra, my quicken essentials was a brick. Would not open. It looked like I had a few options. Revert back to my old operating system ( i didn't want to), Download a financial app from the app store to replace quicken essentials (i downloaded and tried a couple, didn't like them) or upgrade to quicken 2016. I chose to upgrade to quicken 2016. I downloaded it and installed it. It gave me a prompt to open a backup of quicken on my computer, I chose my quicken essentials backup and all my information was imported into quicken 2016.
There is not going to be a newer version of quicken essentials, quicken 2016 was it at the time. I see now that quicken has come out with quicken 2017. I believe if you download from quicken.com they give a money back guarantee. If you purchae quicken from amazon.com it was cheaper. You may try some of the apps in the app store. If you go to the developers web site you can usually download a trial version and they will also import your quicken essentials backups. If you decide you like the trial version you can then purchase it.
Just upgrade to MAC OS Sierra and Quicken Essentials no longer available. Years of Financial info needs to be accessed
