I used Quicken 2007 for home and business (Windows version) for 10 years. Tried the upgrade to 2011 but went back to 2007 version as new features were just complications. Now we have switched to Mac computers and bought 2017 Quicken for Mac. Hugely disappointed, can’t even print a reconciliation statement along with the illogical interfaces. Quicken 2018 for Mac is now available and the big news is that it has officially moved to a subscription only pricing plan. If this is the last straw for you, check out our look at some of the excellent Quicken alternatives for Mac that exist nowadays such as the impressive free version of Personal.

• How To Move Quicken Essentials To Quicken For Mac 2018 Torrent

In reply to both above. Both Macs are running 'Quicken Deluxe 2018' Version 5.5.7. I created a backup file to a USB stick. Also did a 'Move to' file to USB stick.

First tried creating a New file from the USB, while converting the file, this message came back: The document 'daways money 2.quicken' could not be opened. 'daways money 2.quicken' was last opened on Friday, October 16, 2015 by Quicken 2015 2.0.3. Choose Quicken > Check for Updates to make sure you have the latest version of Quicken. You are currently using version 5.5.7.

Then tried restoring from backup. Right after it asked are you sure you want to restore the backup file and I chose where I wanted it, got the same message as before. The 'backup' file was last opened in 2015? Doesn't that sound some alarm bells for you? Seems like that's not the backup file you need.as Quicken will only be able to restore files with the same version and revision. Suggest you look again for the Quicken Mac data file (the one LAST OPENED), select in Finder, Compress the file by right clicking on the file name and move to a USB drive, then copy from the USB to your new iMac in the Documents folder and then double click the zipped compressed file to uncompress it.

Open Quicken Mac 2018 and OPEN the file, pointing to your Documents folder and finding the correct Quicken Mac data file. Here's a simplified easier way to make sure you have the correct data file. In your old Mac, FILE > Save a Backup and save to your Desktop. Highlight the backup data file on your Desktop (do not open it), right click and select Compress 'xxx.quicken2018'. Move the compressed file to your USB. With your new iMac, move the compressed file from your USB to the Documents folder.

Double click on the compressed file. Open Quicken 2018 on your iMac. Then File > Open and point Quicken to the Documents folder where you'll find your data file (DO NOT USE THE COMPRESSED FILE NAME). Called Quicken Support. Email managers for mac and android. The solution was so simple, I was embarrassed. All you have to do is open the file you want to move on the old computer, do File > Export > Quicken Windows Transfer File (QXF) Save it to either Dropbox or iCloud.

Go to the new computer, copy the QXF file and paste to Desktop. In Quicken do File > Import > Quicken Windows File (QDF, QXF) Select the QXF File on Desktop and Quicken does the rest. Then all you have left to do is Setup Automatic Downloads.

Thank you to all who tried to help. Glad that worked for you but there is still a mystery as to WHY you needed to do that.

For anyone reading this, that is NOT the typical way to do this, and is only a last resort. The reason is because MANY things are lost in the process, such as, memorized transactions, saved reports, budgets, connection settings, and more.
