MacNN reports, “Patzer’s comments suggest that there is little technical reason why Apple couldn’t include Rosetta with Lion - apart from the company’s desire for users to update to modern technologies and frameworks for the best experience and performance in current systems. More details and possibilities for users of personal finance apps in the full article here. Patzer indicated we would all know that answer by the end of this summer.” This is not a simple project and may never come to fruition. The project has been underway for the past few months, with Intuit working to possibly embed specific Rosetta libraries into Quicken For Mac 2007 to get it to run. Hamilton reports, “ with Aaron Patzer, VP/GM of Intuit’s Personal Finance Group, today about this… Some might ask, ‘why not just get Apple to let us run Rosetta in Lion?’ Apple likely has its own answers to this question, but the good news is that Intuit is working closely with Apple to possibly do just this. “Unfortunately, Quicken Essentials’ initial release left a lot of Mac users wanting more - or less, as the case may be - and many folks simply remained with Quicken Mac 2007 despite its older codebase.” So much so that Intuit decided to focus those resources on developing an entirely new application, Quicken Essentials for Mac,” Hamilton reports. Simply porting this code over to Intel is not possible and would require a significant amount of work.

Patzer explained that the PowerPC codebase for Quicken For Mac 2007 was started decades ago and has many intricacies - including its own custom-built database engine - that are very much PowerPC specific.

I am looking at archiving the Quicken Essentials data in an Excel file and starting new the first of the year with a application like CheckBook Pro.“Long-time Mac users who manage their personal finances on their computers have something to fear with the release of Lion right around the corner: Quicken For Mac 2007 (and earlier) will not function on Lion as it stands right now,” Dave Hamilton reports for The Mac Observer. I see no value in a subscription based service, so I refuse to by a Quick en 2018 subscription. In the mean time, I am using remote desktop to access the files on the computer running the recovered Quicken Essentials app. I plan to try again, but just have not had the time to noodle through the process. I was able to recover Quicken Essentials on another Mac, but the Export from Essentials on the recovered files and the import to Quicken 2007 on my Macbook did not pick up all my transactions.

Was able to install and run Quicken Mac 2007 on my Macbook Pro O/S 10.13.1, but could not import the data from the Quicken Essentials files stored on my Macbook. I purchased this version because my Quicken Essentials stopped working when I upgraded my Macbook Pro to High Sierra (Apple stopped supporting PowerPC apps). Not a good replacement for Quicken Essentials
