I just upgraded to QB 2011 for Mac in January...because I was forced to. After working on my previous 2007 version a few times in Snow Leopard, I started getting dialogue boxes saying I needed to register my QB, which I ignored because it was already registered. What the dialogue box did not say was that all of my data would begin corrupting after a set number of openings. OK. I didn't like it. I felt connived as did an overwhelming # of reviewers when 2011 came out.
I've rationalized Intuit's strategy and moved on...until now. Less than 10 months later, no free upgrade, not even a moderately priced upgrade. No, Intuit wants another $200 in less than a year for a few more goodies, which, by the way, would be nice improvements.
I like the program! It functions well! I hate this company! BTW, are the posts prior to mine real? They sound more like company generated commercials than real customers. I'm willing to be wrong on this.
I don't doubt this version is actually really good. But I resent being herded into constantly shelling out full price...in less than a year!
5 stars for the product minus 2 stars for economic ethics.

Hi Magikchef,
I apologize for the experience you had running QuickBooks 2007 for Mac on Snow Leopard. As you note, there were a number of compatibility issues between QuickBooks 2007 and Snow Leopard, including the fact that registration didn't work on the new operating system. But we haven't seen data corruption; this could be a one-off problem with your file. If you haven't resolved the problems with your file, let me know, I can help.
I understand you're frustrated with the frequency and price of upgrades. We're constantly improving our products based on customer feedback and like to get new features out as fast as possible to make small businesses more productive. Many customers we talk to appreciate the improvements and choose to upgrade. Also, we offer a discounted price for customers upgrading from a prior version. That said, you can always choose to hold off until the next release.
Best,
Will Lynes

Please shoot me if I ever buy another Intuit product. Good software, extortionist company
December 11, 2011
Access Method:Box| Platform for Display:Mac|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a small business farm owner who owns QuickBooks for the Mac 2009. When Lion came out, instead of upgrading its software to work with Lion like ALL my other software makers, Intuit chose to force me to buy a new copy of their software. On their website, where the cost of their software is so much higher than on Amazon, they offer a $30 upgrade discount that brings the cost of the new product to a sum still higher than I can buy a new copy on Amazon. Because my accountant uses QuickBooks, they have me over a barrel and are using that advantage to extort me to buy another copy rather than supporting 2 year software, a fact that infuriates me. On top of that, my wife uses Quicken for the Mac 2007. She tried to upgrade to a more recent version but found the new versions don't offer bill-pay integrated into the accounting registers like the old software. Why? Because Intuit now offers a $9.95 PER MONTH service that does bill pay. Clearly being able to force users to pay $119.40 a year for that service plus for new software to use that service is an extraordinary money maker for them but extortion to me. I had to buy Quickbooks this time but am moving to MoneyDance instead of Quicken and hope for a better alternative when Intuit stops supporting my recent purchase in 2 years. Richard Wilson

Quicken is the personal finance program and QuickBooks the business program. People who rely on either one are entrusting their most sensitive data to a software company. Unfortunately, as Mac users of Quicken know by now, Intuit has basically discontinued the product and betrayed their longtime Mac user base. For the new, Lion compatible version of Quicken (called Essentials), key capabilities such as online Bill Pay are no longer supported. This is a huge problem for me. I have had a smooth system in place for a number of years paying bills with a click through my financial institution online via Quicken Bill Pay. This problem is preventing me from upgrading my main desktop iMac to Lion from Snow Leopard.
When QuickBooks for Mac 2012 came out, I thought I might see a way to work around the problem. Surely they must support online billpay for business users! I would just accept the extra, unneeded complexity of using a business as opposed to a personal finance program, import my files into QuickBooks, and be able to use online billpay with a Lion compatible product. Thus I secured a copy of QuickBooks for Mac 2012.
Unfortunately, no. I now have delivery of QuickBooks for Mac 2012 and have more carefully studied what it does and does not do. Online Bill Pay is not found in the Mac version of Quickbooks either! It is astonishing that Intuit would strike this essential feature from all its current Mac products leaving its loyal customers high and dry. What a bizarre "marketing strategy," to continue to offer Mac products, but with downgraded functionality which causes customers to lose facilities they have depended on. I may now have to set up a PC only and exclusively for Quicken Windows, just to keep accessing my years of data and to continue using Bill Pay. I am extremely annoyed. Intuit seems to care nothing about the bad will they have engendered by mistreating a segment of their customer base. This is not the stuff of which great corporations are made.
The bottom line is that Intuit cannot be trusted to continue to support Mac users; don't trust them with your financial life.
Note added Dec 17: I have been able to continue using Quicken Billpay on my iMac by the following method. It is possible on the Mac to have different drive partitions running under different versions of OS X. First I created a second, smaller partition on my drive and copied the main partition to it. At this point both were operating under Snow Leopard 10.6. I then stripped down the second partition, mainly retaining older software which only runs under Rosetta, primarily Quicken, Quickbooks, and MS Office 2004. My second partition will remain running under Snow Leopard for the forseeable future, and the main partition was then updated to Lion 10.7 with no problems. To use Quicken and Billpay, I simply reboot under the second partition. This is a bit cumbersome and inconvenient but should work OK for a year or two until some non-Intuit company comes out with proper financial software for Mac.
Note added Dec. 23: I received an email from Intuit today, sent to all Quicken for Mac users, which said they realize they screwed up for their Mac customers and are planning to release a Lion compatible version of Quicken 2007 for Mac next spring. Good news and happy to hear they read these reviews.
Note added March 16 2012: The Lion compatible version of Quicken 2007 for Mac is now available but unfortunately seems to have serious bugs which causes it to crash. Advice: Wait for updates. At the same time my Quicken 2006 has stopped connecting reliably to Quicken BillPay due to some problem at the mothership. What a bunch of dorks.

Hi Doctor.Generosity,
Thank you for your review. As you note, QuickBooks for Mac does not offer online bill payment capability. (To clarify, this was not removed from QuickBooks for Mac; it has never been offered in QuickBooks for Mac.) This is one of several key differences between Quicken and QuickBooks, including:
-QuickBooks maintains double-entry accounting behind the scenes (the standard for business accounting)
-QuickBooks offers forms like invoices and purchase orders that can be emailed to your customers and vendors
-Quicken offers purpose-built features for tracking investment transactions and holdings
We're disappointed that you would undermine the words of other users and entrepreneurs as fake. We assure you, we will NEVER write our own reviews. It's against who we are as a company. Instead, we're heads down on improving the product and will look into Online Bill Pay in future releases. Thanks for your feedback on this. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss any other ideas with us. Email me at quickbooksmac at intuit dot com.
