Quicken 2007 for Mac OS X Lion is a re-engineered version of Quicken Mac 2007 that will work on OS X 10.7. This version is ideal for Quicken for Mac customers who use Apple's latest operating system OS X Lion. New Quicken customers should choose Quicken Essentials for Mac to get started.

  1. If you’re a Quicken for Mac user, I have some welcome news for you After a long wait, Intuit has finally released an update of Quicken for Mac 2007 that will run on OS X 10.7 (Lion). But before you get too excited Keep in mind that this isn’t so much an update as it.
  2. Getting Started with Quicken® 2007 for Mac® R efer to this guide for instructions about using Quicken for Mac’s online account services to save time and automatically keep your records up to date.
  3. Aug 18, 2006  Quicken 2007 works with PCs running Windows 2000 and newer editions (with 128 MB of RAM recommended). On the other hand, Microsoft Money 2007 works for Windows XP only. We reviewed Quicken Premier.
  4. I have Quicken 2007 for Mac - I just upgraded the Mac OS to 10.7 (Lion). 1) Will Quicken Essentials work in Mac OS 10.7 (Lion)? 2) If yes, can you provide a URL with step-by-step instructions on the procedures necessary to transfer all the data in Quicken 2007 into Quicken Essentials.
  5. Nov 29, 2018  I have been using Quicken Mac 2007 for all this time because my stock data has multiple lots with different purchase dates. I bought the 2018 edition because they claimed it will handle multiple lots — and it does, though the import had a few glitches which I was able to work around.
  6. Quicken 2007 free download - Quicken, Quicken Deluxe 2018, Pocket Quicken (Palm) (Win), and many more programs.
I need to reacquire and install an old version 2007 Quicken for Mac because the conversion to 2019 Quicken did not work.

    I don't know if you're interested in pursing what problems you ran into in the conversion, because most Quicken 2007 users have been able to successfully convert their data files. You could post what went wrong here, or work with Quicken Support during their weekday phone hours.
    In terms of Quicken 2007, it isn't supported or sold by Quicken anymore, and so you'll have to find one on the open market. If you visit eBay, you'll see a person who sells them there (currently charging a whopping $56); you might be able to find someone selling an old copy with a bit more searching.

    I'm so sorry, but I don't understand what you're referring to. Accounts in Quicken (both 2007 and 2019) are your various bank accounts, credit card accounts, cash accounts, loan accounts, etc. There are subcategories and subclasses, but I'm not aware of anything called a sub-account. Could you clarify?
    One change between Quicken 2007 and 2019 is that the new versions no longer supports subclasses; instead, it now has 'tags' (the new name for classes), and you can have multiple tags on a single transaction. If you currently use subclasses, you'll want to promote them to classes in Quicken 2007 before migrating to Quicken 2019. By using multiple tags in Quicken 2019, you can possibly achieve the same result you had previously, where you could get reports by the one tag (your former class) or another tag (your former subclass). But I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to at all, so I don't want to go farther down this road.
    As for not all the information importing correctly, this is sometime because the index to the Quicken 2007 database was damaged -- a not uncommon occurrence that is easy to have Quicken rebuild.
    What happened to the copy of Quicken 2007 you were running prior to trying to move to Quicken 2019? Is it on a different Mac? Did you delete it?

    If you currently use subclasses, you'll want to promote them to classes in Quicken 2007 before migrating to Quicken 2019.
    BTW, you do NOT need to promote subclasses in QM2007 prior to migrating to 'modern' QMac. The conversion automatically promotes them to Tags.
    Of course, if you have multiple subclasses that have the same name, you end up with only one new tag, thereby losing the original association of the subclass to its original 'parent' class.

    @smayer97 I didn't say it was necessary to promote Quicken 2007 sub-classes to classes before conversion to Quicken 2019, I said it is something most users who utilize sub-classes would want to do. I didn't go into details, but the reason for suggesting it is because that allows consideration of renaming any of them them if needed so they make sense in a non-hierarchical approach.
    Thanks for clarifying. Without that context the OP could interpret this as meaning that it was a necessary step, especially given that the OP had a problem with conversion. Therefore, I wanted to make it clear to the OP (or anyone else reading this) that it was not a required step to have a successful conversion.

  • Thanks again. The terminology is my own. Within the main account I created 4 accounts; one was my bank account, another was a fictitious account to which I would transfer 'cash' from my bank account as a way of saving (it was of course really always in my bank account -- and these 2 transferred to new Quick in a combined format (but truncated to only 4 months of data). The remaining 2 accounts within my main account were simply the cash histories of my 2 brokerage accounts so not tied to any bank or even the brokerages. They did not transfer at all.
    As to my copy of old Quicken I'm afraid I may have lost the data file; there were several in my machine, some very old (I have been using Quicken since 1996), and I may have tossed the wrong one. I assumed that the current data file was part and parcel of the app itself and that is just not the case. I can open old Quicken but it only shows my account up to 2010! I will pursue e-bay.

    'Within the main account ' I believe that you mean 'Within the main FILE'.
    Your file holds multiple accounts, but there's no such thing as 'sub-accounts' in Quicken.

  • Carter, I'm not sure I understand: what good will it do you to find a copy of the Quicken 2007 program if you don't have your old Quicken 2007 data file?
    You don't have any backups of your computer, nor any backups of your Quicken 2007 data file?

    Excellent! You should be able to find a recent Quicken 2007 data file there, so you'll have (almost) all your data back again. After you get to that place where you have the data file you want to continue to work with, it's a good idea to delete the ones you've been using, or rename them or relocate them, so you don't get confused about which file is your real, live data file. (And then make a backup of that!)
    Once you're back on solid footing, if you wanted to try the conversion to Quicken 2019 again, I'd recommend re-indexing your Quicken 2007 data file. Make a copy of your data file for safety, then do Command-Option-B to trigger the reindexing, which may take a minute or two. Then quit Quicken 2007, launch Quicken 2019 while holding down the Shift key. It will ask if you want to open your existing Quicken 2019 data file, and you should press Cancel. That which will bring you to the Let's Get Started page, where you can specify starting from a Quicken 2007 file, select your just-indexed Quicken 2007 data file, and let it convert again. Hopefully, you'll get all your data converted this time.

Upgrading Quicken 2007 For Mac

As promised, Intuit today released a $15 update for Quicken Mac 2007 that makes it compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion. The update is intended for existing Quicken for Mac customers who want to use the product on Lion machines. Without this update it won’t work on the latest Mac OS version, which was released in July of last year.

Photo viewer for mac os. Quicken for Mac 2007 was originally written for PowerPC machines and had been running on Intel-based Macs using Rosetta technology. Lion dropped support for Rosetta, so Quicken for Mac customers couldn’t upgrade if they wanted to continue to use the software. Today’s patch now allows for the software to run under Lion, without Rosetta support. Existing Quicken for Mac 2007 data files will automatically convert to the new Lion-compatible format.

Quicken 2007 For Mac Data File Location

Mac customers who are new to Quicken software are directed to purchase Quicken Essentials for Mac instead of the older Quicken for Mac 2007. Quicken Essentials was a complete rewrite of the program which is fully compatible with Intel-based Macs.

Quicken has been soundly criticized for treating Mac customers as second-class citizens and being out of touch with the Mac environment. Today’s release may not have helped that perception as the product page touts “Backs up easily to MobileMe” - a service that will be shut down in a matter of months. There’s also a download button titled “Quicken Mac Lion 2007 DOWNLOAD for Windows”…well, you can see why Mac users might be slighted.
