What I found most interesting about Intuit’s email message, which links to this longer support document about Quicken and Lion, is that Intuit now openly acknowledges the problems that have kept Quicken Essentials from being a legitimate replacement for previous versions:
#QUICKEN FOR MAC OS LION UPDATE#
There’s no excuse for Intuit’s inability to update a converter for Lion, a fraction of the work required to fix an app. Potentially more important, Intuit also noted that Lion users will not be able to import data into Quicken Essentials from Quicken 2005, 2006, and 2007, due to the converters requiring Rosetta as well. There have been rumors that Intuit and Apple might be working together to create a hybrid Rosetta/Quicken monster to enable the software to keep running, but for now, those remain rumors. While the under-featured Quicken Essentials is ready for Lion, the 2005 through 2007 versions will not work in Lion. That’s why I, as a registered Quicken owner, was pleased to receive email from Intuit reminding me of, and clarifying the situation with, Lion compatibility issues. However, not every Quicken user will be as up to speed as you and I. As far as anyone can tell at this point, Rosetta will not be available for Lion. For as long as Intel-based Macs have been on the market, Quicken has run under the sufferance of the Rosetta emulator, which allows old PowerPC-based software to keep on trucking.
#QUICKEN FOR MAC OS LION MAC OS X#
Users of Quicken 2005, 2006, and 2007 who read sites like TidBITS almost certainly know already that Intuit’s financial-tracking software was never properly updated for Intel-based Macs, and will not function under Mac OS X Lion. #1576: Work with image text using TextSniper and Photos Search, upgrade your home Wi-Fi, comparing MagSafe battery packs.#1577: iPhone 12/12 Pro repair program, fix corrupted Chrome extensions, iCloud Mail custom domains, Chipolo AirTag alternative, 10-digit dialing changes.#1578: Apple delays CSAM detection, upgrade Quicken 2007 to Quicken Deluxe, App Store settlement and regulatory changes.Apple lawsuit decided, Internet privacy limitations, combine Mac speakers #1579: Apple “California Streaming” event, OS security updates, Epic Games v.#1580: iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, Apple Watch Series 7, redesigned iPad mini, and upgraded iPad, plus iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and tvOS 15.
