Quicken For Mac 2015 Goes To Mint Screen
I don't know whether there are any other Canadians who are following this thread (or, for that matter anyone else who knows the answer to this question) but I would like to know whether any of: 1. Money Dance 3. SEE Finance 4. Minecraft pe for mac os. Any other option are 'Canada friendly' meaning can download transactions from a Canadian bank, can download Canadian stock and mutual funds, can print Canadian cheques, etc.
Quicken Essentials for Mac, which had a more adult accounting look too it, just lost its ability to download so now it's just Quicken 2015. Click to expand. I had the same situation happen to me.
In responding please note that I have read all three websites but the information is less than clear and includes caveats, workarounds, etc. That do not leave me feeling good about things so I thought I would see real world experience. Just a follow-up on this: I decided to give Moneydance a serious try and migrate all my transactions over from Quicken. Exporting a QIF from Quicken and importing it to Moneydance was easy enough. However, due to the limitations of the QIF format there is no way for Moneydance to detect transfers between accounts with 100% accuracy, so there were quite a few duplicate transactions where it hadn't 'guessed' right. Fortunately I could eliminate many of them in bulk using the Find&Replace extension. I also have a foreign-currency checking account which created some headaches because the exchange rates in transfers weren't always correct.
All in all it cost me a few hours of my weekend to get all the balances correct. Click to expand.Trying it out here now, in parallel with Quicken for Windows. Agree that importing was easy but there are duplicate transactions. More troubling is that it created categories for most stocks I own or owned in the past.
Don't understand why and the categories have dollar amounts associated with them so that deleting the categories ends up messing up the account balances. I think the problem is that Moneydance just isn't as sophisticated as Quicken. Certain investment transactions are available (Add in particular, and the workaround given in the Moneydance manual isn't entirely satisfactory.) I also don't like that there is no support for 'Cash' accounts -- you have to use Bank accounts which gives a field for check number that is worthless and can't be removed. I also find totally annoying that if you create a report showing an expense category over the past year (a very common thing I do) the total at the bottom is that for all time and not for the period being reported. I'll be working on this some more this coming week, but at the moment I'm still torn between Moneydance and continuing with Quicken, which while not being all joy at least does what I want it to do.
