Backup Quicken 2007 Mac Market Wasnt

I am back up and running again, and my heart rate has slowed to a somewhat normal rate. Thanks.

It happened to me this weekend, and after a couple days of experiments, I finally solved the problem.

Im posting this here on the blog because my Google searches on the topic turned up nothing, and the Intuit boards were useless on this topic.

Thats right, this file has 15 years of meticulous data in it.

Backup Quicken 2007 Mac Market Wasnt

Circa-2000, Intuit decided that the Mac market wasnt worth supporting, and effectively ended support for the product.

As Steve Jobs brought the Mac back, Intuit brought back support but very little enhancement to the product.

Quicken 2007 is largely the same as the Quicken 1999 product, except far more rickety and long in the tooth.

Of course it exists, Ive been tracking INTC for more than 10 years).

After a brief panic, I restored a file from Time Machine from a week prior, and all was forgotten.

I use Time Machine to get an older file.

I launch. Spinning beach ball.

I select several of the backups, duplicate them, and try to launch them.

I search Intuit boards.

No luck. I post a question anyway, even though the community on the boards gives me no confidence of ability to help or desire to do so.

Trying to export QIF and reimport into the new file leaves totally bizarre numbers and transactions.

Seriously, has QIF export ever worked in the past two decades Will it ever work.

Looking inside, I find a data file for Quotes and a directory for Quotes Details.

I manually re-enter the few securities that dont have ticker symbols.

Intuit, if you are reading, please get Quicken 2010 (which has been promised for two years) out the door.

And make sure the import from Quicken 2007 files is flawless.

I felt your pain as I walked through your step by step update.

Personally, Im not holding my breath for Quicken 2010, but one can dream.

Oh, and if it could possibly sync directly with Raymond James transactions (currently works only on PC) I would rethink the whole hatred thing.

I had been inputting manually, and even that started to blow up.

WIth 12 years of daily quotes and 45 years of sparse quotes, I am now very interested in this issue, and pass this on to encourage others to check their data files.

Thanks for a solution and more thanks for showing me the package.

I am back up and running again, and my heart rate has slowed to a somewhat normal rate.
