- edited October 2018Not really. While the QWin to QMac conversion works well, the QMac to QWin conversion has been broken for years.
The results of trying the conversion are scrambled categories/transactions/etc that could take a LONG time to straighten out.
I'd suggest that you close out this year in QMac .. and then just fresh in QWin with 1/1/18.Q user since DOS version 5

Instead of trying to copy the backup file from Mac (Quicken 2017) to PC, I exported the Mac OX file in a QSX file format. I was able to restore a copy in the Windows (10) Quicken 2017. It worked. I lost all Payee name memory (i.e. it didn't remember the Payee..so I'm rebuilding, but it's not a big deal). Previous attempts to copy and import the backup copy from Mac to PC all failed b/c the Mac only saved as a .quicken2017-backup extension and the Windows version only looked for a few QSF or QSX extensions. However, be prepared for a far inferior version of Quicken. You can't rearrange columns and seemingly can't make a transaction reoccurring..(that's what I'm here searching for)

Check your categories. The importing of QFX into Quicken Windows has been messed up for years (scrambling categories). That is why it is stated that it can't be done.

Depending on a lot of things it might work for a few people. That is in fact why my suggestion is to try it first before trying the CSV export/conversion/import:

About the only columns you are rearrange in Quicken Windows is to have switch positions between the data and the check number, switch positions between the memo and the category.

If that is the case and you are looking for 'seemingly can't make a transaction
reoccurring..'
Then you are using the wrong terminology and as such won't find it using that.
You are looking for reminders. It is reminders that are repeating not 'transactions'.
You can create a reminder by right clicking on a transaction and selecting Add a reminder or what most people do if add them from the Bills -> Bill Reminder view. Or my preferred place is the old Bills & Income reminder dialog (Ctrl+J or Tools -> Manage Bills & Income reminders) - edited November 2017
QPW..thanks for the additional info. You're correct in that I was using the wrong term (reoccurring). However, I think they may have been called 'scheduled transactions' in the Mac OS version. They appear in the ledger each month (or whenever you set them) and you can right click and select 'Mark as Paid' and it was automatically entered. I did stumble upon the Bill Reminder and am trying that (and eventually the Ctrl J..much easier!!!) I don't know if I'll have that same 'mark as paid' option (I manually entered them and are set to occur in a month). You were also correct in that my 'can't rearrange columns' comment was directed at the Windows version. In the Mac OS, you could rearrange the columns in any order you wanted. Thanks for the tip on the limited ordering in the Windows version. As for the QFX import, can you clarify about the 'messed up categories'? I did a quick scan looking back over 6 years of data and It appears that all of my old categories imported. Is there something I might be missing..or should anticipate..or is it possible they may have fixed it? Thanks again for your help.

If you want to see the reminders in your register select the clock icon in the top right.Actually, after spending hours on the phone with the wrong support person at Quicken and being told this couldn't be done, I figured it out and had it verified in minutes by a Mac-savvy tech person at Q.

It should be there on the action bar by default. If not select the settings/gear icon and select it there, and also to customize what is on the action bar.
As for marking them paid in Quicken Windows that is really just entering it into the register/making a real transaction instead of just a reminder. In some places in Quicken Windows, they do call it/mark it paid, but that is all that is happening.
For instance the Bills -> Online Bills will mark the status of a bill paid when hitting the Enter button. But if that online bill isn't connected to a reminder is basically useless. With it connected to a reminder the reminder is entered into the register.
On the Bills -> Bill Reminders -> view as: Stack you will also see them marked Paid.
Note that really the 'paid' is only true for downloaded transactions. That is really the only way you know something has really been paid.
Note after you mark a transaction reviewed (by clicking on the status icon of a New or New Match) the status goes to blank, I guess you can consider that 'paid'.
Most like the default settings have you in automatic transactions entry mode. This mode is very similar to what I understand is on Quicken Mac 2017. The transactions go directly into the register, and there is a status column. Note if you widen the status column you will see text as well as the icons. If a downloaded transaction matches one in the register it will get the status of New Match. If not it will have the status of New. Note like I said it is matching transactions in the register, not the reminders. The reminders have to be entered into the register before the downloaded transaction. If it need be you can click on a Uncleared transaction in the register and match it to a downloaded transaction. That would probably only be needed because of the reminder not getting in the register soon enough or because the amount in the reminder doesn't match the one downloaded. You would change the amount of the one uncleared in the register and then do the matching. In this mode it will only show downloaded transactions that match the amount exactly.
You can also go to:
Edit -> Preferences -> Downloaded transactions and turn off the automatic entering of transactions in the register. In that mode you get a Downloaded Transaction tab at the bottom of the register. You click on a transaction and accept it into the register.
On the QFX import. I think it is still broken, but some people have reported it working for them. No telling exactly why that is. Note that in no cases has importing of investment data worked, because the import in Quicken Windows doesn't support it. Back when it first was put in Quicken Windows 2012 it worked the best. But still will scramble sub sub categories.
I will have to run a few tests on it and see what the status is. I haven't checked it in quite awhile. - edited November 2017

Intuit Quicken For Mac 2017 Review
- edited June 20170
- edited June 20170
- edited April 2018Yes unfortunately. That is why I'm looking for a replacement for 2007. From these discussions it doesn't look like 2017 is any better than all the other lousy iterations of Quicken that have been pawned off on us since they released 2007 that worked with OS X. Let me know if anyone has found a workable substitute.
- edited August 2018My Quicken for Mac 2007 has been working just fine and I am on Sierra. But I understand High Sierra will require 64-bit applications. I did try Quicken Essentials a few years back and it did not import all transactions correctly and did not do reports correctly. I hope Quicken for Mac 2017 is OK.
- edited August 2018Yes 2007 works on Sierra but will not on High Sierra because High Sierra requires 64 bit programs. You would think in ten years Intuit or whoever Quicken is now would have had time to put together a program like 2007 that is 64 bit. Instead they take our money on these ridiculous substitutes that don't work. I went thru this back before Intuit finally fixed 2007 so it would wok on the Intel processor. I kept one computer on the older processor and tried a bunch of programs like Money and Mint etc. All Intuit would do is release Essentials which was no good. Finally after 18 months or so they released the fix for 2007 which has worked until now. I don't know who the Quicken owner is now but it looks like history is repeating and this time I'd like to get away from Quicken unless they can release a suitable program. These discussions sure don't sound like 2017 is that product.

If you read this statement carefully, I think it says that the computers that run 32 bit OS X will be supported but does not say 32 bit software will be supported.

Be sure to add your votes where you see fit. See the above post:I have been using QM 2007 very successfully with Sierra. No problems. I have bought QM 2017 and it imported all the transactions for 10 years. But the reports are not as good as QM 2007. Not sure if it is a good replacement.

BTW, QM2007 does work with Sierra. Don't know yet about High Sierra. You may want to get Sierra (at least download it without installing it) while it is still available (assuming no serious impact on any other software you have) before they replace it with High Sierra, which may or may not be compatible with QM2007.I know 2007 is 32 bit but interestingly enough my Activity Monitor or info tab in Sierra doesn't sho this information. The article must be dated.

Before upgrading to Sierra, I moved my Q Mac 2007 data files from the Documents folder to a different folder on the desktop. (Did the same w/ Microsoft Office files in Documents folder.) After upgrading I moved everything back into the Documents folder. Thus they were protected from some effect of the upgrade to Sierra. I previously experimented w/o doing this on a different HD and Q Mac would not open any the the files. Files were 'readable' and Q Mac 2007 worked fine.I know 2007 is 32 bit but interestingly enough my Activity Monitor or info tab in Sierra doesn't sho this information.

I'm not sure how moving your files from one folder to another would protect them from an upgrade. Your big worry in an upgrade is that the New OS won't be able to run your current apps, which is a real problem with Apple upgrades. They tend to use their customers as Beta testers. I always make a Bootable Clone copy of my current drive to an external hard drive with 'Carbon Copy Cloner'. Then I update my current internal drive to the new OS. This way if my major apps don't work, I just re-clone the old OS back to my internal drive. Then wait for Apple to fix their 'New OS' with multiple updates.I know 2007 is 32 bit but interestingly enough my Activity Monitor or info tab in Sierra doesn't sho this information.

I didn't understand either, but NONE of my QM2007 files would open. I took a backup file from a back up (un updated), drive and it opened just fine. Something happened to these files stored in the Documents folder during the (experimental), upgrade to external HD. That's why I pulled them out of the Documents folder and stashed them elsewhere prior to the update on internal drive. Will do this again when I test High Sierra on a spare HD. I use same strategy as you. I might keep 'old external HD' just for QM2007 and boot into it as needed. When Apple changes hardware that won't run anything besides 'current stuff', then I'm screwed (unless legacy hardware runs forever-LOL)I know 2007 is 32 bit but interestingly enough my Activity Monitor or info tab in Sierra doesn't sho this information.

Developers will not be able to sell 32 bit programs on the App Store after the first of 2018. Correct me if you have contrary evidence.

There has been no info to say that 32-bit apps will not run..all Apple has stated is that the selling of 32-bit apps will stop in 2018 via the Mac App Store. It is the first step in eventually not supporting 32-bit apps. But it does not appear to be in the Fall release of High Sierra.From some articles, I think 32 bit programs will run on High Sierra (I hope). After that they may not.

Per Mac Rumors back in June: 'Starting in January of 2018, all new apps submitted to the Mac App Store must be 64-bit, and all apps and app updates submitted must be 64-bit by June 2018. With the next version of macOS after High Sierra, Apple will begin 'aggressively' warning users about 32-bit apps before eventually phasing them out all together. '. Sounds like we've got until next year some time.From some articles, I think 32 bit programs will run on High Sierra (I hope). After that they may not.

That's great news as QFM 2017 still is not adequate to replace QFM 2007. There are problems with the reports. Such as editing columns not possible in QFM 2017.Quicken 2007 works on the current beta version of High Sierra. - edited September 2017
Thanks for the confirmation of this. That's what I thought in my comment several months ago. Now if they would improve the 2017 version I might think of buying a 2018 version just to see if it's usable. I would bet against any 32 bit programs working on the version of OS X after High Sierra. This 2007 version is 10 years old you would think in that time even the most incompetent software writers could get a program right. I think this company still thinks Macs are not here to stay.Quicken 2007 works on the current beta version of High Sierra.
