I just got a PC (still have the Mac), and thought that Id rather do my Quicken on this, because Quicken in general has more features on Windows than it does on Mac (specifically for investments and such).

Obviously, you cant just open the datafile from Windows, that doesnt work.

I tried exporting to QXF on My Mac and importing the resulting file on Windows.

Not only did it completely butcher my categories, it also refused to import investment accounts, not even cash transactionstransfers from my other accounts.

So now Im a little stuck, thinking about two options: 1) Turn on Web Sync I havent turned on web functionality in Quicken because honestly, my accounts are not the business of their advertisers or anyone thats able to hack Quicken.com.

So Id rather not do that, but might do so if I HAVE to.

That said, Im not even sure if it would work 2) Ask the Quicken community if they can recommend any tools or strategies Im fine spending 25-50 on a tool that can convert my Mac file to a Windows file.

Id like it to be a tool I download, not a service that I have to upload my data to.

Is there anything like this that youd recommend I just dont want to go off buying random apps HOPING they might work and then finding out that they dont, etc.

Or else I wait I could just keep using Quicken for Mac until the end of the year, and then make a brand new set of books on January 1 on Windows.

This is my least favorite option, because then my history will be spread not just across two files, but for two different platforms, too.

Can anyone make any suggestions 10 comments share save hide report 86 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best.

We recommend to start a new file when switching from Quicken for Mac to Quicken for Windows.

Have you tried creating a backup from the Mac then opening that from the windows pc 3 Share Report Save level 2 Original Poster 1 year ago I havent tried backing up then restoring, only doing the qfx export from Mac and importing that to windows.

I was encouraged when I saw it exporting investments, only to see windows skip that altogether on import, and butcher the categories in my checking import so much as to make it basically unusable.

Ill try the back up and restore as youre mentioning and see if that gives a better result.

So, no experience with any third party utilities that might be able to do this 2 Share Report Save level 1 1 year ago Sorry no experience with 3rd parties.

I bought the subscription for the Mac originally, but when I logged in after buying a windows computer I saw I also had the option to download the windows version.

Or maybe bite the bullet and turn on web sync and see if that transports the data across even though itll end up on quickens servers too.

Dating all the way back to Quicken 2007.

Shame on Intuit.and now Quicken Inc.for not having that utility in place.

Nothing you do or attempt to do will get your data from Quicken Mac to Quicken Windows.

And syncing your data from Mac to the Quicken Cloud doesnt work, because the cloud data version is just a subset of the entire Quicken data file.

Amazes me how other software companies have their data compatible between Mac and Windows.

The most backward development and programming teams ever seen in the history of computer software.

How they stay in business is really a miracle.
