You should be able to use your Apple gear as long as it helps you remain productive and meets your needs, upgrading only as necessary.

Moreover, the Quicken File Exchange utility included with the current version of Quicken used to import data from earlier versions or Windows versions is also compiled for PowerPC Macs.

As a result, Quicken 2005 (which I was running), Quicken 2007, and the Quicken File Exchange utility wont run on a Mac running Lion.

Quicken Lion Install Windows On

Otherwise, Intuit suggests users install Windows on their Mac (perhaps using one of several virtualization programs) and run the Windows version of Quicken.

I need something that lets me enter expenses and income, keeping a balance, and assigning each item into a category.

It has a menu item labeled Export Tax Report but that creates a report that can be used only by Intuits companion TurboTax software, and only in the US.

Prior to using Quicken 2005, I was a running the 3.0 version of Microsoft Money, a piece of Windows software so old that it shipped on a single floppy diskette.).

Quicken Lion Free Trial Version

This 60 program (also available through the Mac App Store, free trial version available from company website) is far more capable than Quicken Essentials; like older versions of Quicken (and current Windows Quicken versions), it does far more than I need, promising the ability to manage a variety of account types, track loan interest and payment schedules, manage multiple accounts, download transactions directly from many financial institutions, track investments, and much, much more.

I was able to import the same data file that Id previously used with Quicken Essentials.
