We do that all the time with databases on mainframes and servers, and the same holds true importing or converting files on Mac, whether financial, or email, or address books. You've heard of a test run? try with just the last year's data exported. We think it was because it was damaged internal database though - and R4 aides that as well. I have seen where someone with a large old Quicken Data file had to export in chunks (say one year each) because it couldn't take all of it at once. I think it either imports or not, and you would need a newer version of Quicken anyway for Panther, otherwise it just gets run in the OS 9-Classic environment is all.Īs long as you backup (CD, DVD, off line FW drive etc) nothing gets lost, just trash and try again. Quicken 2005 and older versions have not been tested on the new Intel based Macs. Unless you specifically disable the Rosetta emulator on your Intel based Mac, Quicken 2006 will work properly. Quicken 2006 has been tested on Intel based Macs with Rosetta and there are no known compatibility issues. Another still is to type the path/name of the QIF file in a command window. However, all Intel based Macs come with emulator software, Rosetta, that enables programs not designed for Intel Macs to run properly. Change csv to vcf on Windows, Mac, Iphone or Android in a couple of clicks. Quicken 2006 will not run natively on Intel based Macs. just checked and there is an R4 update to improve stability etc.
