As I've noted in threads on this Board, I've been a longtime satisfied user of Quicken for Mac. Also, although I have a MBP for work and business travel (plus a PBG4 that I can use when I travel light), I still retain a PMG5 as my main desktop home machine, with lots of external FireWire storage. It's perfectly speedy, particularly with older apps, since much of the newer stuff isn't available on PPC machines anyway. Still, it's almost six years old, and I've been dreading the day when I hear the bang and see the liquid coolant leaking out of the CPUs. I've been waiting to upgrade to a high end iMac when LightPeak arrives on those machines, and with the newest MBPs, I expect Thunderbolt will be on the iMacs at the next revision.
The one and only thing I really wish were faster on my PMG5 has been transferring multi-GB data over FW800, and Thunderbolt is just the kind of thing I've been waiting for. Apart from losing speedy Altivec code - I'm a distinct minority in that respect, and my use of that kind of code is getting rare nowadays anyway - the one major hitch in such a migration will be in Quicken. Word is filtering out that Lion will not support Rosetta, and Quicken 2007 for Mac is PPC code. Quicken Essentials for Mac (or whatever it's called now) is crippled. I have tried using Moneydance, iBank, and one or two other things via demos. To do so, one has to export Quicken data to a.qif file and then import the data back into the new app. However, Quicken 2007 for Mac's export of.qif data is apparently defective, or the other programs don't import correctly, or both.
Account balances and whatnot end up being incorrect, and with around 15 years of Quicken data, it's ludicrous to try to go through every transaction and make corrections. It looks like I have maybe three options: 1) Retain the PMG5 to run Quicken 2007 for Mac, and any other PPC code I might need, even if I upgrade to a new iMac. That's practical, and it's inconvenient only in having to set aside space for the old machine. The plan would then be to wait and see if Intuit gets its act in gear and reverses its desire to migrate entirely to the web - I'm not hopeful. Or look for an application that properly imports the Quicken for Mac data file directly. 2) Downgrade to an older version of Quicken for Mac and then export the.qif data from there. I've read that older versions of Quicken for Mac (2004) exported.qif data correctly, so maybe the other programs can read the data from there.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I might be able to scrounge up an old copy of Quicken for Mac, but I doubt the old versions will read the new files. 3) Migrate from Quicken for Mac to Quicken for Windows, using Boot Camp, Parallels, Crossover, or whatnot, and then use Quicken for Windows on the new iMac. There's been some discussion of migrating from Quicken for Windows to Quicken for Mac, with most saying the Mac version isn't as good anyway.
However, does anyone have experience migrating data from the Mac to the Windows version? (Another option which I just thought of would be to maintain a Snow Leopard partition on the new iMac, complete with Rosetta, and dual boot or maybe virtualize Snow Leopard. That assumes that the new iMacs won't require Lion.) Thanks, -awlabrador.
