Changing Quicken to a Mac

I currently have a Windows XP. With Quicken Version 2005. Want to get an IMAC and transfer my 2005 data to the Mac. Can this be done? And if so, how?

You could run XP with Quicken in Boot Camp.

I did the same thing in Jan 2011 to an iMac. In your WinXP Quicken, export the data to a USB drive to file named abcd.qxf. Open new Quicken on Mac & import the qxf file. qxf = quicken export file; abcd is old data name.

Be forewarned, Quicken on the Mac lacks support from Intuit and is a bit buggy. I have been using it for over 20 years and have come to rely on it but now it is a real pain in the A_ _ to work with.

I tried to get comfortable with Quicken for Mac, but it was a pain and it's functions are sorely lacking. I installed Parallels and Quicken for home use and Quickbooks for the HOA. Both work great.
