Which version of quicken essentials? Is this Quicken Essentials 1.7.2?

It doesn't install as 1.7.2, but after you install it upgrades to the current version.

I am away from my home computer right now so I can't tell you exactly which version, BUT when I went to install it, it gave me a few worries and so I called customer support and they did their magic and took my numbers and then downloaded the current/best version for running on on an iMac/OS 10.8.2. They were helpful and polite and after the download all went smoothly and I moved ahead. I think you could download the free trial version and then when you decide it works for you, then just purchase it directly from IGG. Hope this is helpful. I am not a heavy iBank user, but have been pleased with my limited use.

I am currently running the LC version of quicken on my Mac. The Mac version is lacking features. The way you do this is to install parallels desktop which is a program that allows you to install and run windows simultaneously with Mac OS. I am running windows 7. After installing windows you can install quicken and use your backed up file from windows on your Mac.

I believe that it is version 2.0. I am not certain at this point, I purchased it almost a year ago. I just moved and have not set up the computer that I was using it with.

Yes. It can download all of your checking account activity. Where Quicken Essentials falls short is with investment accounts.

I was also a very long term quicken user, but i could not stand quicken's mac version after i switched to mac in 2007, & running a virtual windows machine just to run the windows version of quicken was just too much of a pain. i've been with ibank since version 3. it was miles better than mac's quicken & it gets better and better with each new release. it does function a bit differently than quicken so there will be a small learning curve, nothing drastic though. ibank5 is perhaps not as polished as the current windows version of quicken, but i am pretty sure from what i've read that there has been no great improvement of quicken's mac product. intuit is dropping the ball there. i'd say give ibank5 a shot, you likely won't regret it. i know i don't, not one bit.

That may not be possible without loosing the data input that you have done between versions. In Windows we can go to File&gt;Properties&gt;Previous Versions. Or, if you could save your current Quicken data file in a safe place (out of reach of an installation effort), you might be able to install the 2012 over the 2014.

I currently use iBank 4 -- I assume this answer will also apply to iBank 5 (which I plan to upgrade to). I migrated from Quicken (Mac) and I have used iBank to record, and even print, checks (using the paper blank check forms that I have used literally for decades to print checks). It may call for some tweaking of the check field settings but it was easy to do and has worked flawlessly for more than a year now.

I believe it is download only, and I did a quick check on,the internet which confirms that. However, you get a registration number, which would allow you to re-download, if needed. Also, I have found Infinite Kind support to be extremely helpful and responsive. I sent several emails early on, and each was responded to. Good luck. It's not Quicken, but I really love it.

I ordered mine back in May 2014, and it came with 1.8 in the box, and as soon as I registered my copy of 1.8 NI sent me a reg code for 2.0.I'm pretty sure that it will either come with 2.0 in the box or allow for a download. Version 2.2 is supposed to be out in November 2014.

I have been using Quicken for about 10 years. It is generally OK, but not spectacular. If you are starting fresh and setting up new accounts, you'll probably be fine. But, the latest update from 2013 to 2014 has been very problematic for me, starting with One Step Update not working properly, and some strange entries being made all on it's own. Quicken tends to "fix" things that aren't broken. I might try Microsoft Money, or maybe some other accounting software if I was just starting out.

QH&B 2010 is no longer supported. You can install the software, but I don't think Quicken will confirm that it works with Windows 8. Your best bet is to get 2013, but verify on their website if it is compatible with Windows 8. I preferred the 2010 version over the 2013, but what can you do? While they have quirks, they know they are the best affordable solution for Home and Small Business.

Hi Leland, On the box, it reads "Deluxe Edition Version 7.1" On the CD, it reads 7.1.1. After loading the software, it reads (in the about tab) Version 7.1.1.2 (x64) I hope that helps. It loads on both my Windows 7 (64-bit) desktop and my laptop Windows 8 (64-bit). Rick P

Use the latest version from their website. The one I bought is very old version, 1.2.

I believe I have found the issue and it has nothing to do with my system but is actually a real bug in the software itself. First I installed on a clean (no third party apps whatsoever) virtual PC running XP, same crash. I was however able to isolate the issue down to a single account (a credit card with one of the big 5 banks), when I created a new quicken file with just this one account it would crash, when I removed this account from my 'main' file it worked fine with the remaining accounts. After thinking about what could be different about this account I remembered I have a very long password (32 characters) on this account; I changed the password to something shorter and now it works. The only reason I went to this effort is, as stated, Quicken is the now unfortunately only game in town - not that I have anything against Intuit but competition is always a good thing for the consumer - and while MS Money wasn't perfect, my track record was only a few (single digit number of) crashes in over 10 years of use - the last version I used (2007) did have one really annoying bug where it miscalculated my mortgage payment so every month I would have to manually correct the number. I really do want to use Quicken, as the spreadsheet alternative isn't worth the effort; I'm just really concerned that they don't invest enough in test and validation - while a boundary condition, a check for this particular bug should have been in any reasonable test plan.
