HOW TO RUN QUICKEN ON A MAC FOR MAC

So, long story short, no Quicken Essentials conversion, no Quicken for Mac 2005, 2006, conversion from Essentials, and no conversion back to 2007 from Essentials was needed. I finished the conversion by editing the toolbars to match what I was using in the 2004 version and that was enough for me to get rolling. I used the registers to re-spell a word in old transactions and hit enter to create new quickfill items. Edited the accounts shown and hidden at the same time as I checked the accounts I wanted shown in the toolbar. I just copied manually the scheduled bills. These were easily matched with the old 2004 by adding upcoming and scheduled bills, hide and show accounts in the accounts window, toolbar accounts, and quickfill transactions. The items missing were mostly preferences and setup configurations. Now not everything transferred over to the new version but the accounts all did with correct balances as well.

Presto! All accounts and balances transferred into the new 2007 Lion version. I opened the newly created QIF export in the old Mac from the new Lion version and saved a copy in the new Quicken Backup folder. I opened the Quicken for Mac 2007 Lion compatible version on the new mac and used the open file option from the file drop down menu. I then used the terminal mode restart on the old Mac and connected to the new iMac(intel) running OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) with a firewire cable (needed a cable converter for the old (400) and new (800)firewire port). I am running 2004 for Mac on a flat screen iMac(PPC) with 10.4.11. I just used my 2004 Quicken for Mac and exported from the FILE menu a full export to the Quicken backup folder.
