Quicken Essentials For Mac Sierra Update

HomeQuicken for MacFile Conversion and Backup (Mac)

Mar 17, 2010  I just received a mailer yesterday announcing the arrival of Quicken Essentials for Mac, which is the long-awaited update to Quicken 2007 for Mac. Quicken Essentials was actually released back in February, but I somehow missed the announcement. On the surface, this update sounds great. The new software runs natively on an Intel chip (requires MacOS X 10.5+) and the interface has been. I have Quicken for Mac 2017 ver 4.6.7 on Mac OS Sierra. Every time I open the program, there is a pop-up 'reminding' me to upgrade to the latest version. Closing that pop-up generates a second, similar pop-up. Does anyone here know of a way to turn these annoying pop-ups off?

Quicken Essentials For Mac Sierra Update 10

  • edited December 2017
    Quicken Mac 2015, 2016, 2017 and the new subscription Quicken (for 2018) will all work on High Sierra and will convert your Quicken Essentials data file.
    Quicken Mac 2007 will work, but in a limited fashion (regarding backups) and you'll need to find someone to give you the latest update because the original Quicken Mac 2007 will NOT run with High Sierra and Quicken support will NOT give you the last update patch. I found it was next to futile to find that patch to get it to run on recent macOS's.
    Personally, I'd purchase a copy of Quicken Mac 2017. You'll have until April 2020 to continue downloading transactions. It is fairly stable. You should be able to find it on eBay or some other outlets by doing a Google search. Quicken Mac 2017 is NOT available through most retail outlets and is NOT available on the quicken.com website.
    Note that there will be a learning curve for Quicken Mac 2017 (or 2018) as the entire software has been re-written and updated.
    Quicken Mac 2018 still has a lot of growing pains and has a ways to go, as yet. If you feel adventurous, then purchase the subscription Quicken. 12 month, 24 month and 27 month subscriptions are available at various sites with varying prices..so shop around.

    Thank you. I am not feeling adventurous. This is nightmare-ish for me. Will look for 2017. Not happy with my decision to upgrade OS today.

    Actually, since you were using QEM, obviously you were not downloading data, so I suspect this should not be an issue as to when it stops. As such, I would opt for QM2018, because with all the newer versions, you will face the same challenges with some new learning..but you do not have to be that adventurous to get there..keep in mind that you have a 30-day money-back guarantee (60 if you find QM2017)..so nothing to lose.
    Though you can find 24 and 27 month subscription periods with QM2018 and it comes with any updates during that period, you probably will be fine with the 12 month one since again you do not download. Just make sure you get the Deluxe or higher edition since the Starter edition will make your data file read-only if you do not renew your subscription when it expires.

    Nice suggestion..but I would want a stable product without Quicken induced bugs if I was purchasing software.
    Quicken Mac 2017 is much more stable than Quicken subscription..at this time.

    What are the tips and/or pitfalls in updating my old Quicken Essentials files to either 2017 or 2018?I am about to take the plunge but am nervous about losing the data I have been keeping for several years.

    You can download Quicken Mac 2017 or 2018 and still keep your Quicken Essentials too.
    My opinion? Backup your Quicken Essentials data file(s) to a flash drive..just in case something happens.

    Why use Heimdall when we can use Samsung’s tool, Odin?Aside from being slow and generally unreliable, Odin only runs on Windows systems. Furthermore, Odin is ‘leaked software’ that is not officially supported by Samsung, freely available, or well understood by the community at large.If you need more information about the tool, you can head over to the developer’s website. Loke, the software component that runs on the Samsung devices and provides the functionality necessary to flash, also seems to be named after an important character in Norse mythology (often translated as Loki). In this vein, our software was named ‘Heimdall’ after the Norse god and guardian of the Bifrost Bridge. Heimdall for mac sierra.

    Well I jumped into the deep end and got the 2018 and.. IT WORKED!! Updated my old files perfectly! I am so happy. Was quite worried but thanks to replies I received felt brave and all’s right with the world. Did make backup Just in case and went into time machine to confirm the old files were there. Thanks for info!

    I'm not happy either! I wish there had been a warning telling you which programs weren't going to work with the update! Quicken was one of my most important apps and now I've lost of my checkbook info!

    It is the user's responsibility to check software compatibility before upgrading..
    Anyway, your data is fine. You can either buy a compatible version of Quicken (currently 2018) or downgrade your Mac OS (not simply and probably less desirable).
