Any alternatives to this product? Now that Microsoft stop updating/selling MS Money, is there any other products available besides Quicken?

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.

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.

It is my understanding that there will be a fee for the "update" known as R2 when Microsoft finally releases it (how much is widely debated). There is no SOLID yes or no answer from MS Corp. but if you look at trends in the past with MS Server/Enterprise/SQL/VB type software, you can bet your sweet patootie that MS is going to want a few bucks for the new features in the R2 release.

It was put back into 2011 with an update sometime in Nov. 2010. I had to set it up special in 2011. That means I had to find it in the menu, and set it up as my opening page on Quicken. Not the same way as the prior versions had it. Its hidden this time. I am sure 2012 is the same way. I would try the Quicken discussion page if you can not find it. Good luck

I only use it for personal finances. Your best bet would be tobtrybit out. You should be able to down load trial version to test drive to see how it works for you.

Quickens website says it has a build-in converter for Money 2007 & 2008. No mention of earlier versions.

After using Act! for a few months now, I have grown to hate it. It's slow, cumbersome and it no longer syncs with MS Outlook (it did when I first got it). I recommend you try something else. I think Act! is a dinosaur about ready to go extinct! Online support is very poor.

What version of Rental Property Manager did you buy? Also, it won't allow you to use the program if you have any other version of rental property manager on your computer. If it the version you bought is "2014" and you have no other versions of the same program on your computer, I would call Quicken Customer Support.

Sorry, I don't use Quicken. Try the kodak website for a quicken print driver.

So, as a Mac owner who has none of the above, I'll have to buy SnapScan AND Quicken? Seems like a lot to put out for a way to track receipts for medical expenses. Sounds like NeatDesk for Mac would be better for me. Any advice?

I would recommend researching the product as I do not have Windows 8 and did not retain the box. I am getting ready to upgrade to Quicken 2014 and it is my understanding from what I have read is that both 2013 and 2014 operate on Windows 8 but as a mouse driven application and not touch screen based. Please research before doing anything as I am not an expert on the interface with 8.

No, check printing is not possible-nor desirable, really-for this simple but essential piece of software. It very capably does what no other app can do: let you know when bills are due, how much money you'll need for upcoming expenses, and a history of what was paid and when. This is not a bookkeeping program like "Quicken," but it does exactly what it says it does, and does it well.

I'm running it on Windows 7. It was initially not supported on Windows 8, hence the reason for looking for an upgrade and discovering it was no longer supported by MS. It will definitely not work as a "Windows App".

I upgraded from 2012 and only purchased it because it was on sale for 50% off. Otherwise I would have waited. As for any differences, the only thing I have found so far is the Quicken Cloud and the mobile app.

Yes, I have two quickens, my personal one and a non-profit I do work for. They are easy to adjust to your printer and work beautifully.

Yes it does and worked very well BUT quicken will no longer suport downloading from your checking accounts. They forced me to buy 2014 and I hate it.
