Different (and incompatible) versions of Quicken run on Windows. (c) 1996'; Version 3 for Windows 3.1; Quicken Essentials for Mac - April 30,. .Quicken for Windows, including Quicken Starter, Quicken Deluxe, Quicken Rental Property Manager, Quicken Premier, and Quicken Home & Business, as well as Quicken for Mac.[4] Since 2008, each version has tended to have the release year in the product name (e.g., Quicken Basic.

So, I'm a Quicken user and have been so since the mid 90's. I love Quicken.However, I am a Mac guy and have had to deal with running Quicken in a boot camp partition or in a virtual machine on top of my Mac. I'd love to go to Quicken for the Mac, but as of the last time a few years ago when I tried it, I didn't like it.

I am primarily interested in Quicken as a check book program to keep track of where my money comes from and goes to. I do not do any downloading of investments or items from my bank. It's all strictly manual. So I spend almost 100% of my time in the register. I've used Quicken for Window for so many years I have a very good flow when I am entering items from my checkbook.

My main complaint about QfM is that the flow is just off enough as to make it a lot harder and more time consuming to enter in my data and getting everything to balance as well didn't seem as smooth. Have these issues been addressed in the latest version of QfM? What version of Quicken are you currently using? If you're subscribed to Q2018 or later, your subscription includes both PC and Mac versions.

If so, the simple thing is to download the Mac version and play with it a bit. That said, I think in your case, it's mostly about what you're used to. There are some shortcuts that can help smooth things out in QMac, but mostly it's about getting used to it because it's different. Unless you can be more specific about what you mean by 'the flow is just off', it's going to be hard to provide any more detail about the differences. I'm using a non subscription version.

2016 I think. It's been a couple of years since I looked at the Mac version. From my memory, I think it had something to do with how the register in QfM is arranged differently than in Windows. Not that I'm averse to some learning curve, but with Windows I can quickly enter things from my check book almost without thinking about it and with the Mac one, it was taking a lot longer to do the same things. I also seem to remember something different in the reconciling of accounts, but I honestly don't remember what that was.

BTW, not a Windows emulator.a Windows virtual machine. They are definitely not the same;-) If you want to consider that option, there are 5 popular products you can use: Parallels, VMWare Fusion, Oracle VirtualBox, Bootcamp or CrossOver. The first 4 require you to also buy a copy of Windows. The first 2 cost $50-80, the third and forth are free. CrossOver also costs about $50-$80 but does NOT require you to buy Windows. If you plan to keep your PC & Mac, you could also run Quicken on the PC and use remote access (several free options, e.g.

NoMachine and Teamviewer) to access Quicken from your Mac (or even a tablet or phone) (see this great article for complete review of many options (most are free): ) (If you find this reply helpful, please be sure to click 'Like', so others will know, thanks.).
