Quicken is the most popular personal finance software in the United States, but the Mac version has historically been lacking compared to its Windows counterpart. Dunn is confident that the. Mar 11, 2009 - Quicken stores historical stock data in a weird non-standard place, so even if you back up your Quicken. So I finally got to tier 2 MAC support. Jan 02, 2015  2004 to 2007 Lion I just used my 2004 Quicken for Mac and exported from the FILE menu a full export to the Quicken backup folder. I am running 2004 for Mac on a.

A company representative provided us with a full statement on the problem: Dantz has become aware of a compatibility issue with the Mac OS X 10.3.3/Mac OS X Server 10.3.3 updates and backing up to a tape autoloader or library with Retrospect. Dantz has reported this issue to Apple and is currently investigating workarounds. The compatibility issue only affects Retrospect customers who are backing up to an integrated SCSI tape autoloader or a tape library attached over Fibre Channel. After the 10.3.3 updates are installed, slots in the tape autoloader or library are no longer visible in the GUI, even though the tape drive still appears in the GUI and is still available to Retrospect. If you are backing up to hard drives, CD/DVD drives or standalone tape drives, this problem does not apply to you. If you are backing up to integrated SCSI tape autoloaders or Fibre Channel tape libraries, Dantz recommends that you avoid applying the Mac OS X 10.3.3 or Mac OS X Server 10.3.3 update or roll back to Mac OS X 10.3.2 if already applied until this problem has been resolved.

Fixes this issue. Reports indicate that under 10.3.3, DVD Player no longer recognizes some external DVD drives - though DVD-RAM and DVD data discs continue to operate properly. MacFixIt reader Phil may have found a fix: 'My sister ran into this problem after updating to 10.3.3.

Replacing '/System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework' with the older version from Mac OS X 10.3.2 seems to have resolved the problem. Maybe some of your readers would be interested in that little hack.

My sister has reported no 'side effects' as yet.' You can retrieve this file from another system running Mac OS X 10.3.2, or from the Mac OS X 10.3.x installation CD with a tool like. Rob Watts' 12' PowerBook lost SuperDrive responsiveness after the Mac OS X 10.3.3 update. He was able to resolve the problem by performing a PMU reset: 'I tried to put a DVD into the slot drive, but the drive would not respond and try to draw it it. I tried a CDRW, DVDROM and nothing would make it respond. I checked the system profiler, and it would not show up under the ATA section. The HD was there, but no SD.

I ran permissions repair and repair disk from the install disk hoping that familiar clicking of the SD would happen during one of those start ups. No such luck. Well, I shut down the PowerBook and did a PMU reset. After resetting the PMU and during that start up, the SD clicked.

It now shows up in the system profiler and works fine.' Knowledge Base article describes the PMU reset process. We've made this recommendation before on MacFixIt, but based on reports that we've received, we want emphasize it again: Before installing a Mac OS X Update, make sure all Apple-installed applications and utilities are in their original locations. Moving one of these applications to a different location on your hard drive can lead to an incomplete update. For example, yesterday we quoted reader Richard Outerbridge: 'After previously installing Bluetooth 1.5 I'd moved the three utilities Bluetooth File Exchange, Bluetooth Serial Utility and Bluetooth Setup Assistant into a sub-folder within my Utilities folder (i.e. When I ran the 10.3.3 update (both from Software Update and the full stand-alone installer) it helpfully recreated them in the Utilities folder.

But the applications that get installed are incomplete - they are missing panels, gifs, buttons, all sorts of things - but especially their custom icons.' Several other readers has reported similar issues. Unfortunately, this is normal behavior for a Mac OS X Update installation, which does not always 'intelligently' update every application. Rather, sometimes the installer runs a script that simply places updated files in specific locations - if those locations don't 'exist,' the installer creates them, leaving you with folders that only contain updated files, while your original (moved) applications remain untouched. Reminder: Check drives before installing Another bit of advice we find ourselves repeating whenever Apple releases a major system update is to make sure your drive is in good shape before installing the update - installing a system update onto a disk that has problems is asking for trouble, and a good many of the reports we receive at MacFixIt after each system update are clearly related to drive and permissions problems. First run Disk Utility's Repair Disk function when booted from the OS X Install disc or another volume. Then run the Repair Disk Permissions function while booted from the drive being repaired.

(If you want to be extra careful, run a utility such as DiskWarrior, as well.) Taking these steps will help to ensure that your drive is in good condition. Then install the update and, for good measure, run Repair Disk Permissions again afterwards. (Although update installations in Mac OS X 10.3 seem to be much less likely to screw up system-level file permissions than in OS X 10.2, we've still seen it happen, and it can't hurt to make sure permissions are correct.

The only exception would be if you're an advanced user who needs certain system-level files to have special permissions; if so, you would most likely know how to reset those permissions.) Don Kindopp provides one of the first printer issue reports we've received since the release of Mac OS X 10.3.3: 'Since upgrading an iMac to 10.3.3, I could install an Epson 740 printer, but could not get it to print. The Epson Printer Utility did not see the installed printer. This also happened to an new eMac that went through the update process. The Epson 740 printer would not install.

Tried the 10.3.3 combo update and still cannot print to the Epson 740.' First, it should be noted that some Epson drivers are located on the third CD of the Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) installation set. Knowledge Base article notes Epson drivers located on the second and third Panther installation discs (in /Packages/EpsonPrinterDrivers1.pkg and /Packages/EpsonPrinterDrivers2.pkg respectively).

John Stagaman notes that selecting specific drivers from the various offerings allowed proper printer operation 'My sister-in-law had the same problem and Apple support was able to fix it (I couldn't after trying several approaches). In this particular instance, we could print neither when directly connected with USB nor through an Airport connection. 'There are apparently multiple Epson 740 drivers in 10.3-when selected using Rendezvous the incorrect driver was selected. When Apple helped, they had us manually select the USB drivers, then select the corresponding Epson 740 driver. It resolved the problem.

It struck me as weird, but it worked.' Glenn Heilemann's case, all that was required to resolve this issue as a simple unplugging then re-connecting his printer: 'I had the problem with the Epson 740 printer not showing up in 10.3.

The fix for me, after running permission repair, was to unplug the printer and plug it back in. All was fine after a simple work around such as as this.'

Printing through a networked Mac OS X 10.3.3 system MacFixIt reader Eric reports a problem printing from a system running Mac OS 9.2.2 through a Mac OS X-connected shared printer since updating to Mac OS X 10.3.3. 'Have a G5 dual 2g 512m running 10.3.3. My printer problem has to do with my other older Mac's running 9.2. I originally set the computers up using help topic 'Printing to a Mac OS X shared printer from Mac OS 9 via LDP/LPR'. This had been working great since 10.3.2. Now the OS9 computers can verify the printer but when attempting to print I get a dialog screen stating the printer on the G5 is unavailable. I can print from the G5 with er.

After numerous false starts over several years, Intuit plans to announce the release of on Thursday. The new product offers a promising new interface, but faces a mass of built-up anger from users who feel betrayed by the company’s mismanagement of the product. Two years of promises It’s been nearly four years since the most recent release of Quicken for the Mac, ( ), released in mid-2006. After that, more than a year went by with rumors escalating that. In early 2008, the company, and promised a new product called Quicken Financial Life for Mac in fall of 2008. That date, and a new date was promised — summer 2009.

We got a in early 2009, but like a mirage in the desert, the product kept fading into the distance. In July 2009 the company, to 2010, with an explanation that it was going “back to the drawing board” with the product. Perhaps that confusion and intransigence on Intuit’s part was a sign of a larger problem with the management of the company’s software products. It seems the most likely explanation for Intuit and immediately installing its founder and CEO, Aaron Patzer, as the new VP and general manager of Intuit’s personal finance group. (Buying a competitor and making its head your new leader—talk about an admission that your own company has lost its way.) With Patzer in charge, Intuit’s personal-finance group has shown some signs of a change in direction., the company announced in November, to be replaced by Mint.com. Now here comes the $70, a new product marching proudly into the maw of a user base that’s ready to tear the product, and Intuit, into tiny little pieces. What it’s got, what it hasn’t Quicken Essentials is a new app, re-written entirely using Apple’s development environment, using native interface elements that make the app feel like a lost cousin of iWork.

It’s got access to 8,000 financial institutions—more than twice as many as the previous version—and Intuit says that number will jump to 16,000 “within the next few months.” The program is replete with colorful graphs, easy-to-use filters, and familiar registers for listing past transactions and viewing upcoming transactions as well. There’s a budget bar graph that lets you set realistic budgets based on past expenditures and then track your monthly spending pace. Transactions are automatically categorized with improved accuracy. And the program imports data files from a host of other financial packages, including Microsoft Money, Quicken for Windows, and Quicken for Mac. Quicken Essentials' Explorer lets you surf through a pie chart to view your various expenses. That all sounds good enough. And for some users, that level of functionality will be enough.

But when I talked to Intuit’s Patzer last week, he acknowledged the anger some users feel about the product’s holes—features that Quicken for Mac 2007 offered nearly four years ago that are not present in the current product. “The product doesn’t have the ability to pay bills through Quicken,” Patzer admitted, but said that the company’s research indicated that only six percent of its users took advantage of that feature.

“And on the investment side, you have all your stocks there, but it’s just a snapshot it doesn’t do stock-lot accounting,” he said. The program also doesn’t export to Intuit’s TurboTax product. Patzer appeared to fully understand the criticism that’s been leveled against Quicken Essentials (which, to rub salt in the wound, costs $10 more than the more full-featured Quicken Deluxe for Windows), but explained that as the newly installed executive in charge of Quicken, he needed to decide whether to release a limited product now or release nothing until 2011.

“When I came in, I looked at the Mac product and said, ‘Holy crap, we haven’t put one of these out in three years,’” Patzer said. “It’s called 'Mac Essentials' because it’s got the essential features used by 80 percent of the users we’ve surveyed and talked to. So we had to decide, do we want to put a product out that serves 80 percent of the market and is a vast improvement in so many ways, or do we delay it again? And what I thought was, given the growing popularity of the Mac platform it was better to get a product out that’s good for 80 percent of the market.” Next year, Patzer said, Intuit will release both an updated version of Essentials as well as a true Quicken Deluxe version “that would have the stock-lot accounting and potentially bill pay—those are two top candidates.” The Budget view gives you feedback on your spending and lets you set realistic goals. Beyond that, Patzer says that you’ll see more similarities to Mint.com in the desktop Quicken products.

Patzer says he “personally specced out” Quicken for Windows 2011. “Over time, you’ll start to see features and functionality for all the platforms come together. It shouldn’t matter if you’re using Mac, PC, iPhone, Android, or online” when it comes to features and data availability. Apps should have a native appearance, he said, but the underlying data structures will be the same and it should be easy to go from using a desktop app to the online service and back again. What happens now?

The big question is, how will Quicken Essentials for Mac be received by the general public? If Internet message boards are any indication, there’s not a lot of love lost between Quicken users and Intuit. My conversation with Patzer suggests that he’s committed to fixing what was obviously a broken system, at least where Intuit's Mac products were concerned, but that there was no way for him to completely rectify matters in the few months he’s been on the job. But Internet message boards aren’t always the best barometer of how the world at large will react. If Quicken Essentials for Mac appears in Apple retail stores and becomes a hot seller—which will probably happen if Patzer’s suggestion that 80 percent of users will be satisfied by its feature set is true—then the company’s decision to release a limited-functionality product this year will have been a smart one.

If the company has miscalculated the desire for the features omitted from this version, Intuit will receive yet another black eye. Finally, what will become of the upset Quicken users who need features that aren’t offered by this new app? Intuit’s official line seems to be a request that those users continue to use Quicken Deluxe 2007. Some users may take advantage of virtualization features of Intel-based Macs to run Quicken for Windows, while others may consider or even a Website such as Mint.com (which unfortunately doesn’t allow you to import your years of historical Quicken data). There’s no way to divine what the final chapter of this long, ugly story will be. I’m sure we’ll discover in the comments thread attached to this story just how angry longtime Quicken users are about this release.
