How Do you transfer Quicken PC files to Mac?

I am currently running the LC version of quicken on my Mac. The Mac version is lacking features. The way you do this is to install parallels desktop which is a program that allows you to install and run windows simultaneously with Mac OS. I am running windows 7. After installing windows you can install quicken and use your backed up file from windows on your Mac.

Yes you can. When you go to format it make sure you set it to be used on both macs and pcs.

after further investigation you may need a easy transfer cable from mac to mac. usb cable is good for mac to external hard drive.

Hi SusanThanks very much for your post. Please note that Intuit/Quicken Essentials WILL NOT transfer the Investment Account Transaction Histories that you may have had in Quicken 2006-2007 with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Make sure you or anyone reading update their investment account transaction downloads before they convert to Quicken Essentials. Quicken HOPES to rectify this in Q1 2012 with an upgrade. Spent 2 hours on phone with India Customer Support to work through issues this week.

There is no app required to use it for a PC or smart phone. I don't have a MAC so can't answer to that. Otherwise, just use the backup program already in your smartphone, put in the flash drive first, go to backup, and choose the 32GB drive. To use to transfer files, copy to the drive, and then over to the other smart phone. Most would be that easy. If you run into problems take it to your service provider. To use it for computer to computer or to store files, just copy to the drive or click and drag. I LOVE mine. I use it all the time and have used it for different purposes. It is built and designed well and will have a long life, I'm sure.

I don't have a MAC. But it works great on my PC. Very easy to use and excellent quality. It comes with software for PC and MAC.

Absolutely!! I just did it again to make sure I answered your question properly. Plug it in, open your file, select it and copy it. Then you can paste it in any other file in your Mac. I love this little item. And the guy from whom I purchased it was quick delivering it. Good luck.

Since Mac and PC are different file structures and associations its not straight forward. you can go from PC(windows) to a Mac(running windows) or a Mac(windows programs) to a PC(windows). Anything else you'd need a 3rd party translation program. I don't know of any that are 100%. Even basic files like word documents don't always transfer properly from Mac to PC unless both do windows.

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.

Can you further explain how to format this for Mac -- and can it be interswitched between a Mac and a PC?

I honestly don't know. The program comes on a small cd that will not work in a Mac. I think you need the desk top that has a tray that comes out to put the cd in.

I plugged mine into my Mac via the USB and was able to transfer the files with no trouble.

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 can't really say as I don't have a mac but would think as long as you can plug in the usb it would. It transfers great on to my PC just like you were using a flash drive.

Yes, when you insert CF and an SD card each shows up in the file explored as a separate drive, you can move files between the drives. I am not sure about MAC, I use PC with Windows 7 and 8

I spoke to a person @ Quicken who said it is compatible with Lion. I shall see when I load the software.

I wrote you a response (which is below) but I realized you might be confused as to what this product is. This isn't an external hard drive. It's a hard drive enclosure, it's basically an empty shell that holds a hard drive. You have to buy the actual drive separately You should be good in that direction PC to Mac. Windows uses the NT File System on it's drives, Mac's can read those files and copy them to the mac, but mac's can't write to a NTFS drive. So you couldn't add or save anything on to the drive. A solution for this would be to make a partition that's FAT32 both mac and windows can read and write to that, it's the file system flash drives usually have. Sometimes there's a 32GB limit on FAT32 drives so you might not be able to turn the whole drive into it. But you can partition one drive into multiple parts.
