- edited October 2018Dana, they will no doubt release an update after Mojave ships, if they determine something is broken in Quicken 2017 once Mojave is final. The general advice is to not try to be the first on your block to upgrade your operating system each year; you're already running a production/live program on a beta, so you've decided to deal with the consequences of being on the bleeding edge. I typically wait months after the release of a new OS to allow my software apps to play catch up and get past the initial bugs and problems.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993

Got it. FYI, the Quicken developers typically aren't looking here for bug reports.Jacobs, I have been running the developer previews of all 4 OS’ since WWDC because I am a developer helping Apple find and fix bugs.

They might be aware of a problem with Mojave, and have a fix they plan to release around the time Mojave ships. Or they might not be performing their full testing on old versions until Mojave ships, with a plan to release a compatibility update if needed within a month. But Quicken 2017 is still supported software, so if there is a bug with Mojave, they will definitely need to get it fixed.
About all you can do is wait until Mojave ships, and then use the Report a Problem feature on the Quicken Help menu if the problem still exists.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993 - edited September 2018Running the released version of Mojave (18A391) and new version 4.8.0 hangs.

What I would like to see though, is Dark Mode options for Quicken Mac. That would make it look unbelievably cool. - edited September 2018
'Not compatible' doesn't necessarily mean that none of the software works; it means that at least some part of the software doesn't work properly. Therefore, as with many Quicken issues, the saying 'your mileage may vary' is often true: some users are affected by a problem that needs to be fixed, while others don't encounter the problem and find it works perfectly for them. One key for users is to know to proceed with significant caution, making ample backups of both the application and data file, if rushing to upgrade to a new version of macOS -- or waiting until the next release that is certified compatible with Mojave comes out. The other key is that the development team is apparently aware that there are some compatibility issues, so appropriate tweaks can be made in a forthcoming update.Tech support just confirmed to me on the phone that 2017 and 2018 are NOT yet compatible with Mojave.

Yeah..but for Quicken Support to say that Quicken Mac 2017 ISN'T compatible with Mojave is wrong. That's incorrect advice being disseminated to Quicken users.Tech support just confirmed to me on the phone that 2017 and 2018 are NOT yet compatible with Mojave.

If they would say that there are compatibility issues and bugs, now that's a different story. - edited September 2018
If for some people it simply hangs on launch, as users have posted above, then saying that it has not yet been updated for compatibility with Mojave seems entirely appropriate. The Support staff almost certainly doesn't have details, and even if they did, they are not going to try to parse what is known to work and not work in order to tell a user 'well, it's not supported, but you can take your chances.' As long as they know there are compatibility issues, the simple and right thing to tell users is that it's not yet compatible.Tech support just confirmed to me on the phone that 2017 and 2018 are NOT yet compatible with Mojave.

Dark mode raises a number of interesting questions:I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far. It doesn't conform to Dark Mode though. I hope it will with the next update.
RAR 5.0 archives can include an optional quick open information controlled with -qo- + switch or “Quick open information” options group in archiving dialog. Winrar for mac free download with crack. WinRAR features:.
1) Quicken has a lot of screens -- more than most typical applications. If they are all created using standard Apple system calls, it might be possible to implement dark mode without a lot of work. But my guess is that it's more likely that it would take a lot of work because of the complexity of the screens (e.g. multiple regions, animated graphs) developed over time with potentially different tools (e.g. the new reports screens might be created differently than screens which date back to Quicken Essentials circa 2010). Would this take a week or two of work, or many weeks or months?
2) The developers' approach over the past several years has mostly (not exclusively) been to tackle functionality that simply doesn't exist and areas of the program that don't work well or correctly, and to put on the back-burner things that work but could be enhanced. Dark Mode seems to fall into the latter area; it's definitely not necessary to do what people need to do in Quicken, but some users think it would be nice to have. Should this be a higher priority to keep up with a new Apple technology than missing features or feature refinements users have been clamoring for for years?
I have no insight into the answers to either question -- and we likely would only learn something if product manager Marcus happens to mention they are/aren't working on it in one of his posts. I just thought it was worth noting that it's not a 'no-brainer' for Quicken to implement dark mode.
And your specific question raises one more: if they implement dark mode, will they go back and add it for Quicken 2017 users? Quicken 2017 continues to get updates for bug fixes and some functionality issues, but it certainly doesn't get all the changes implemented in Quicken 2018/2019. Unless it's a very easy change to implement, my guess is that if/when dark mode appears in Quicken, it will only be for the current product, and not the older version(s) which are still supported.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993 - edited October 2018
These companies have resources. I think they should be able to do both, add essential features and Dark Mode. It would be especially nice if they did it for Quicken 2017. I've been testing Banktivity 7 on Mojave and the Dark Mode is better for eyesight. In some areas of Banktivity's user interface, it still lags behind Quicken though.I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far. It doesn't conform to Dark Mode though. I hope it will with the next update.
- edited October 2018
It is not about having the resources. Quicken typically does not add new functionality to older versions, even supported ones. And this is new functionality. So unless it interferes with the usage of QM2017, it is highly unlikely it will be added to QM2017.I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far. It doesn't conform to Dark Mode though. I hope it will with the next update.
Also, Quicken is moving towards only supported one version. So their focus is the latest version.
That said, since 2019 is sharing more and more of its code with 2018, 2017 and even 2016 (if not all the code) there is a small chance that if/when they develop this for 2019, they will enable it for other supported versions BUT their stated goal is to move users onto only one version, so again, this is highly unlikely.
BTW, in case you missed it, Quicken quietly moved to naming it 2019 only yesterday. It is still the same Quicken 2018 just renamed..most likely to accommodate the old naming convention and communicate the move away from / expiration of the older versions.

John, I'm not sure what group of 'these companies' you're putting Quicken into, but the fact is that the Quicken Mac team does not have unlimited resources. Implementing dark mode would mean delaying some other functionality. If it's a quick thing to do, then it's probably a very straightforward choice, but if it's a lot of work to complete, it's a more complex choice.I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far.

Since that would be considered a new feature and not a bug fix, I highly doubt it. You should monitor when QM2019 gets that feature. When it does, then you will see if they will make this available to QM2017. But again, highly doubt it.Hello All,

Whether they add dark mode functionality or not, they very rarely pre-announce future features. And as smayer97 says, a feature like this generally wouldn't get added to a prior version -- unless keeping the code base in common with the current version makes it easier for them to continue supporting Quicken 2017 for the rest of its remaining life.Hello All,

Funny, the DAY after Mojave was released to the general public, with Dark Mode being an option, TWO other Mac financial software packages had dark mode available.I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far. It doesn't conform to Dark Mode though. I hope it will with the next update.
And I use 'Dark Reader' with Chrome and Mojave..which converts ANY webpage to Dark Mode.
So, no..it can't be that difficult to do.
Just look at the Mac App Store and see all the apps that now support Dark Mode. These AREN'T new apps either.
And Dark Mode apparently is controlled by the Preferences in Mojave..because the software that I have downloaded that use Dark Mode have no settings..they just pick it up from the operating system.
I even have Dark Mode on my Windows 10 partition now. - edited November 2018

It's not easy to roll back your operating system; upgrading your Quicken is probably a lot easier and faster. Note that although Quicken is now sold as a subscription product, as long as you buy Quicken Deluxe, not Starter, you can buy a subscription for one year and then discontinue your subscription; you'll lose data downloading (but you haven't had that for years with Essentials, so I'm assuming you don't need it) and be able to continue to use Quicken 2019 manually indefinitely.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993 - edited November 2018
Wannabe, it's largely a question of where Quicken's developers put their time and effort. I haven't seen anything official from the company to address this, but my perception is that they know they need to keep pushing hard to add features and capabilities that Quicken Mac cannot currently do. Dark mode is cosmetic, an aesthetic feature -- no doubt desirable to some users, but not solving any of the functional shortcomings of the program -- so it may be lower on their priority list than other features.I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far. It doesn't conform to Dark Mode though. I hope it will with the next update.
Quicken is a program with a large number of different screens, windows, tabs and panels, so it likely takes more work to make it able to run dark mode than many other applications with simpler screens.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993 - edited November 2018
jacobs, i just have quicken essentials for Mac and been able to use on the my computer. now maybe some things don't work BUT for me to post credits and debits and balance personal accounts then it's fine. BUT I just need to be able to get the info back because of course I didn't do a backup before i updated to mojave. I didn't realize it was a new operating system. just thought it was updating color and such . my fault for not reading everything. PLUS, it didn't say that Quicken is not compartible with the new operating system. SO if I download Quicken 2019 do you think it will open up my old stuff. PER Quicken they said you can't do anything other than go back to the previous operating system WHICH is a long process and will I have all the work still on the computer. Considering I did not do a back up on my portable drive.Hello All,

Quicken 2017 Review – The Year of the Comeback?
last updated onSeptember 30, 2019
inQuicken
After the Quicken 2016 debacle, I was very leery to even think about purchasing Quicken 2017 Canadian edition. I did notice that there was a Quicken iPad (and iPhone) application, which said it should work with Quicken 2017 Canadian edition, so that tipped the scales for me.
Intuit has stepped away from this product, so it is back to being a Quicken product. Actually the Quicken brand is owned by HIG Capital, but it looks like they are letting the Quicken team run things. What this means for the Canadian Edition of the product? So far it suggests they are trying to make the Canadian product a more practical product, but again, we shall see.
I ended up buying Quicken 2017 Home & Business with Premium Support, using the discount message from Quicken 2016, which brings you to a purchase page. The interesting part of this was that the price quoted was $80.77 for Business and Home (the deluxe version), but after I purchased it, there was no delivery charge, or taxes charged either. I suspect this is a mistake they will remedy (i.e. Charge HST). The delivery was only a download, so maybe free delivery is OK too.
I am concerned that this is a subscription (that is what my invoice shows). I have not purchased anything, I have paid for a yearly subscription. My suspicion is this means I will have to renew this yearly.
The new version installed just fine, and didn’t seem to have any issues with my huge archive of transactions (it is massive).
I then tried to get things set up so I could use the iPad and iPhone app, which is where things got interesting. If you want to use these applications, you will need to use the Quicken Cloud. The Cloud is not a back up of your data, but where data transferral can transpire. Quicken is very specific pointing out their Cloud is not a backup (you will need to keep doing that yourself). The Quicken cloud relies on having a Quicken login, so you will need to set up an account, if you want to use these apps.
The cloud seemed to rely on being able to download automatically to your Quicken, so I tried to get that working with my TD accounts. It didn’t work, however, after a few failed attempts, the Cloud suddenly was getting the correct data, and that meant I could use the iPhone app.
The iPad and iPhone apps are good, and free too. Please note there are two separate apps, the iPad version works as an iPad app (i.e. it uses the whole screen and will rotate, and other nice features). The major things these apps let you do are:
- Input transactions on your phone, which will then go into the cloud. It works quite nicely, and gives you the ability to store a photo of your receipt as part of the transaction.
- You can look at your current financial status, and you get some nice graphics that show where you stand, and get some elementary reports.
- Other things I haven’t explored yet.
Quicken For Mac 2017 Reviews
All in all I think the apps are worth using.
I have used the product for about 2 weeks now, and it seems to work just fine. I have had no crashes (which I had many, with Quicken 2016), however, start-up is quite slow. The startup on a regular PC Laptop with 8 GB of memory should not be this slow, and the need to log in each time slows things down too. The update of the cloud seems relatively quick, but I never got the update with your bank automagically to work. If you download the file from your bank web site, this is not a problem.
Verdict Quicken 2017 Canadian Edition
For the price I paid, and the added features of the apps, I think this version of Quicken is worth buying (especially if you haven’t bought it in a few years). The subscription angle has me concerned, but we shall see what comes of that. I also haven’t tried out the Premium Support part of my subscription yet, again another area I will investigate further.
The drawback is there is no official Canadian Mac version just yet. I have heard you can buy the U.S. version and it should work, but I wouldn’t chance that just yet.
One final concern is the Cloud, how secure is it? We have seen many security breaches in these type of data configurations, let us hope this does not happen here.
Overall Review: A good restart on a product that needs a lot of fixing.

“The drawback is there is no official Canadian Mac version just yet”
Actually Quicken for Mac has ALWAYS supported Canadian FIs/Banks (including QM2007 to now, QM2019 subscription). And now they have officially included a Canadian setting but all it does is hide US specific features that do not work in Canada and set the home currency to CAD otherwise, it is the exact same software.
- April 13, 2019, 12:41 PMReply
Oh, one more thing…QMac actually supports FIs/Banks in both Canada and US within the SAME product, unlike QWin, which can only work with one OR the other.
Of course QMac is not as feature rich as QWin, so YMMV.

Any areas where Quicken would be an obvious upgrade for personal use? - April 24, 2017, 11:30 AMReply
The 300% was referring to the fact that you only needed to update once every 3 years to keep the online features… Now, it’s yearly.
Another problem is that: if for some reason, they go belly up, since the application calls “home” every so often, you could effectively be locked out of your data… Maybe not this year… but what about in 2-3 years? It’s not like Office where you have alternatives… I have 20+ years of data… not sure it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Although I’m probably one of the few that upgrade every year but not this time…
Also, once you’re locked in, what prevents them from raising the price to 500$ next year? Or 150$, if they lose 60% of their customers.
It will be interesting to see how many “new features” will be added during the year. Intuit tried the whole subscription gig a few (many) years ago and didn’t realease anything. We’ll see…
- April 24, 2017, 11:04 AMReply
Subscription means you have to pay 90$ a year which is effectively a 300% increase. I guess the biggest issue is that if you do not renew, you lose the ability to enter transactions – meaning you have read-only program.
