what are the good alternatives to quicken?

I recently bought a MacBookPro Retina, and could not the old 2007 version of Quicken, as I have several accounts linked to each other. Fortunately I found on sale at Amazon a newer released version of 2007 Quicken that works very well with Mountain Lion. I strongly recommend it. Previously when this new 2007 version had not been yet available, I had bought Quicken Essentials, and found it almost impossible to use, and wasted my money. I did not try any other programs.

I've been using this software since 1998 (16 years). I'm currently using Quicken Premier 2014 with no issues. I always backup date files weekly to an off line portable storage devise. All upgrades along the way where without problems. Caution, do not backup to a Stick Storage device.

I can't answer that as I have windows 7. My quicken 2012 works well with Windows 7.

I'm still trying to figure out the program but Quicken is on a 3 year turnover so I only update (new) when it quits. The program does update itself in the mean time. John

I doubt it...but....I would not even try. The software is no longer supported and it is obsolete. My on-line updating ceased on August 21, 2013. Best to move ahead...perhaps Quicken.

So, as a Mac owner who has none of the above, I'll have to buy SnapScan AND Quicken? Seems like a lot to put out for a way to track receipts for medical expenses. Sounds like NeatDesk for Mac would be better for me. Any advice?

Only the very basics: simple Textedit (RTF), Safari, Calculator, iCal, iChat, iPhoto, iTunes, Garageband etc. BUT NOT: Microsoft Office, iWorks (OS X equivalent), Graphics programs (Adobe PS or Ill). However, the are low cost shareware or freeware alternatives for most of these programs.

Sorry, I don't use Quicken. Try the kodak website for a quicken print driver.

I had Quicken 8 and lost my old system. I ended up with windows 8 (or 8.1) and ordered the Quicken Deluxe 2011 with hopes that it would work. It does work quite well. There are a few things that I have had to adjust to and a couple things I can't find but all-in-all, very successful. Hope this helps.

No, this is not a money management tool in that sense. But it does one thing well, better than Quicken or any other app: records who you owe, when it's due, and when and how much was paid, with alerts and reminders and such as needed. Frankly that's the only thing that was missing in my money management arsenal. Nothing else gives me-quickly, with no fuss-a snapshot of exactly how much needs to be paid out. A great app.

There is a huge market for a financial management tool that works. It might take another year but there will soon be a replacement by a vendor that cares and will fix the issues that have made the Quicken and Turbo tax experience so painful.

Microsoft Money has been replaced by Quicken, as Microsoft sunseted Microsoft Money in 2011. For additional information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2118008

I don't know. You can call Quicken and they can answer your question. I called them to ask questions before I bought it myself.

The Deluxe version definitely does, I just looked. I initially had Quicken Starter, but I never did a file import. ... because after I had it for a couple of weeks I received a great update offer from Quicken to the Deluxe version. I know this does not answer your question directly, but I can say this software package is incredible. I do a lot with the Deluxe version.

I have 2 2013 Quicken Softwares. One I use for personal use on my lap top with Windows 7. The other one I use on my work computer that has Windows XP.

Yes, it is very easy. Just put the disk in and follow instructions. I saved mine just before starting as insurance so I would not loose anything if I did something dumb. I have been a Quicken user for over 20 years and the 2014 version is the first time I have been disappointed. I have a Dell Studio XPS 16 inch because I travel a lot. My old 2011 version worked wonderful with the size of my computer. The 2014 version works and transferred easily; however, I had to purchase a pair of readers to see parts of what is on the computer, while the rest is so large you cannot see it on one screen even by extending the size. If I did not need it for investments, I would go back to old version. If you wonder where the search bar is, its the tiny oval at top right. When entering a check, the transaction description is completely altered. You just have to scroll through volumes of data to find what your looking for and put it in your memory bank in order to find it again. Everything I have had since 1 January 1990 when I moved to Quicken is still there, just a little hard to find sometimes. I hope this helps. I just have nasty thoughts about a company and their programmers have to mess something up that is working just fine. If you need more help, feel free to contact me again. Linda
