Last Updated: May 1, 2018 Update: Quicken 2018 for Mac has now been released and Quicken 2016 is no longer available. Check out our for more.
I believe Quicken essentials will work with Lion, but Quicken 2007 and earlier will not. They are PPC apps. Intuit really dropped the ball in regards to Mac support years ago. Quicken for Mac Download Bank Files Issue I went back to Quicken for Mac 2007 last week (Lion version), having tried a couple of other programs. I still like QM 2007 best, especially for the reporting features. I used my QM 2007 data file, which was only a few months out of date, and simply brought it current.
Despite it taking 7 years for Intuit to release the. And this is probably the last ever version we’ll see from Intuit because In March 2016, the. The big question is, does this final throw of the dice by Intuit disappoint as much or has Intuit finally made peace with Mac users? We took a closer look and reviewed Quicken 2016 on Mac although the results were quite disappointing and we’re recommending switching to one of.
You might have guessed it from the headline but the big addition to Quicken For Mac 2016 is finally – yes finally – Bill Pay online payments. 8 years after it first appeared in Quicken 2007 for Mac only for Intuit to bizarrely Kill Bill (Pay) in Quicken 2015 last year, Quicken 2016 now supports Direct Connect Bill Pay from over 450 banks and it also allows you to transfer funds between accounts at the same financial institution. Of course, this is still limited to banks that support Direct Connect Bill Pay and as many Quicken users will tell you on Mac, it doesn’t sometimes work as well as it should. Quicken 2016 for Mac is clearly closer to what Quicken 2015 should have been in the first place with the long overdue addition of Direct Connect Bill Pay but let down by the bizarre omission of Quicken Bill Pay.

It is slightly easier on the eye and a bit slicker than Quicken 2015 but whether it's really worth the upgrade depends on whether you need Bill Pay or not. Considering that Intuit are in the process of selling the product to another investor, the future of Quicken for Mac is also uncertain. As a result, we're recommending switching to one of. Smayer97 Most of what you list as new in 2016 is NOT new. The only true feature that is new is Quicken Bill Pay. Everything else is in 2015.
It may not have been there when 2015 was first released, but all the features listed were eventually added to 2015 BEFORE 2016 was released, including the voting for features. Also, not sure why Intuit is listing FREE phone support as new. It has been available for all currently supported versions since April this year, including 2015 AND 2007 versions. Also, min system requirements are now Mac OS X 10.10 whereas 2015 still only needs 10.7.5. Dimitrios Molfetas Before I buy Quicken 2016 for Mac,Quicken 2016 for Mac I would like to ask two questions: 1- Presently I run on my Mac Quicken for Windows via VMware Fusion. I have multiple stock investment accounts and I can transfer money from a cash bank account and use this cash to purchase securities that are held in these investments accounts. Can I do the same with Quicken 2016 for Mac?
2- When I sell a security it is important to transfer both transactions (buy & sell) to another investment account, which I use for Closed transactions. In Quicken for Windows that can be done only manually — a time wasting process because I do many transaction in a week.
In Quicken 2016 for Mac can we do these transaction transfers by Cut and Paste? I would appreciate your answers. Smayer97 I agree with the confusion. To clarify ANOTHER point of confusion — Features were NOT ever taken out of Quicken for Mac.
Instead, Quicken 2016 for Mac is a brand new product built from the ground up (starting in 2010) and is NOT a continuation from Quicken 2007 for Mac but rather from Quicken Essentials, so there are some features that still have NOT BEEN ADDED back or are not as fully developed yet. In the process of upgrading the Mac product, Intuit is prioritizing which features to add or further develop, based on user demand. That is why if anyone is truly wanting to influence the direction of the product, a feedback page has been created where one can add their vote for features to help guide the priorities by the developers. As per the directions of intuit Admin, you can submit your request for bugs/features for Quicken 2016 for Mac by entering into the field “Something not listed? Tell us:” here: This is the surest way for them to see your request. The field may appear small but you can type in quite a bit. Take the time to also vote on any of the listed features that Intuit is considering.
Smayer97 I see the links but the article does not seem to point out that you can submit feedback there. I am aware of both links (I am a volunteer support person on QLC, the community-based forum). Not sure why Inuit has chose to have both But your use of the word “removed” is inaccurate. True Bill Pay was a feature available in a previous version of Quicken.but when they started all over, features not present simply have not been added back in. It has been a slow process.
Hopefully many of these missing features will be added back in, some sooner than later I hope, as I am still stuck with QM2007 for that very reasonQM2016 still lacks key features I need. But at least Intuit does have a committed team on the Mac product, something they have only had in the last couple of years. Smayer97 Just for clarification, BillPay in QM2016 is only currently supporting a subset of the full BillPay feature in other versions of Quicken.
It only uses the BillPay capabilities that may be offered by your bank. Also, to use it requires the use of Direct Connect. Therefore, to use BillPay in QM2016 requires that your bank use Direct Connect and it can be used with their BillPay service. That being said, whether Intuit plans to expand the BillPay feature to include all the functionality other versions have is yet to be seen. Time will tell. But as it stands, that is the scope of the feature set of BillPay.
Of course, it would be nice if Intuit made their product info more clear to avoid disappointment. DK QM2016 bank reconciliation process is broken for me regarding credit card accounts. There appears to be a bug related to the use of the “-” sign in the starting balance and/or ending balance fields which prevents you from correctly reconciling.
Intuit told me they have similar problems with Mac 2015 as well and that they currently have no idea about a patch release for 2016. This has been broken for me since I bought QM2016 about 2 months ago.
Symptoms: From your credit card account’s register, click the Reconcile icon. The starting balance should be pre-populated based upon your last reconciliation. The ending balance will be pre-populated based upon your ending date and/or selected cleared items. The difference between start and end balances should be 0.00 but you cannot achieve it due to this bug. Other Notes or Observations: a) Problem appears to be isolated to credit card accounts and not affecting other account types.
B) Other users are reporting the issue though I don’t know how widespread the problem might be. C) Not sure if it is a bug for only converted data file use cases or if it includes users who started a new data file within QM2016. D) Workaround might be to tinker with the “-” in the start/end balance fields of the reconcile window to see if you can get to a Difference of 0.00 Intuit Support: Support provided by Intuit is useless and I have spent nearly 4 hours (total) on the phone trying to review, resolve, understand, counsel, etc.
Refund Fail: What’s worse is that I gave up and submitted a request for a refund. To date, no one has confirmed receipt of my request and I have not received a refund even though I followed the refund request guidelines exactly as outlined on the Quicken Moneyback Guarantee pages of their Website.
