[QUOTE="marty@turnpoint, post: 695407, member: 61541"] Has anyone used iBank or Squirrel to manage their banking? I have used MS Money on my PC, for years, but don't want to load Windows on my Mac. I contacted the help desk at Quicken and they assured me that it would be a piece of cake. They gave me a free copy of Quicken for PC, with directions for and exporting my Money files, to Quicken for PC, then, they said I could move the data over to Quicken in the Mac. I spent several hours following their instructions for exporting data from Money to Quicken on my PC, to the letter, and finally got to the point of transferring the data. It failed. Another phone call to India. New instructions, so complex and convoluted I was appalled and completely discouraged. I went to the user forum at Quicken and the word "nightmare" was frequently used when referring to a switch from Quicken for PC to Quicken for Mac. I returned the software and am still using Money on my old laptop, but I want a solution for my Mac. I am considering finishing this year with Money on my PC and then saving it on my external hard drive. Then I will start afresh with some sort of banking software on my Mac. I don't want to track investments, just keep track of several bank accounts, transfer funds between them, and download transactions from my bank. Anyone have any suggesstions? [/QUOTE]
