Intuit recently announced that it plans to release an update to Quicken 2007 that will make it compatible with Mac OS X 10.7, aka Lion. This news is a big relief to a number of my clients who have intentionally held off on updating to Lion.

It appears that a number of Quicken 2007 users and/or apologists are resigned to what Intuit has done to their Mac products. I for one am not and will be looking for an alternative. I've given Intuit enough time to fix Quicken Mac but, alas, it still does not meet my needs. There’s time before resorting to that level of desperation (running Quicken on Windows). Right now, any Mac that can run Mojave can still run Quicken 2007 without really relying on a legacy Mac yet. Assuming “High Mojave” in 2019 has the same requirements, that’ll take you until fall 2020.

Those clients use Quicken 2007 and migrating to another application is not a simple task. IBank and Quicken Essentials are two applications that users could consider as a replacement, but an update to Quicken 2007 simplifies the entire situation. [ Update: Intuit released a Lion-compatible update of Quicken 2007.

In fact, macOS High Sierra manages this disk usage seamlessly without user intervention. It also purges local backups if disk space starts to get too low. However, sometimes the purging doesn't happen to leave enough disk storage for my very large video files and I'll get a 'not enough disk space' message. Mac os sierra disk space for install the product. Prepare your Mac for installation. Given your Mac isn’t new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. To get started with a clean install of macOS Sierra on either a startup drive or a non-startup drive, make sure you have done the following: Backed up your Mac with Time Machine or the equivalent, and if possible, created a clone of your current startup drive.

Quicken 2007 can import data files from Quicken 2005-2007 as well as Quicken Essentials.] When Lion was released in July 2011, Tidbits had an article talking about. One colleague switched to iBank but due to differences in how iBank handles investment accounts, he spent many hours cleaning up his Quicken data after it was imported into iBank and needed assistance repeatedly from iBank’s tech support staff. A few of my clients who used only the account registers and reporting features in Quicken were able to use Quicken Essentials. Quicken Essentials for Mac was released in 2010. It is not really an update for Quicken 2007 users. Instead, you could think of it as a successor to Quicken 2007, but one that lacks some of Quicken 2007’s features. As its name implies, it is a bare-bones financial management application.

It is enough for some, but not for all, Quicken 2007 users. Thus, the announcement of this Quicken 2007 update is welcome news. Intuit indicates that this Lion-compatible update will be available “soon.” Elsewhere, I’ve read that it’ll be early-spring 2012. Users will be able to update their Quicken 2005, 2006 and 2007 data files into this updated version of Quicken 2007. Please read if you’d like more information. [ Update October 2014: Quicken has recently introduced Quicken 2015 for Mac, which brought back some of the features left off in Quicken Essentials.
