"No payroll"
For several years I used QB for Windows, but for the past couple I didn't use it and in the mean time all my Windows machines died or were replaced by Macs. So I got QB for Mac. One of the two major things I need it for, payroll, is not supported on the Mac. For those who don't know, the payroll feature is not just about paying employees (I have none but myself,) it's also about knowing how big a check to write to yourself based on what was on invoices; computing withholding; printing your check and the withholding checks to send to state and federal gov't; printing a W-2 at the end of the year; getting a breakdown on exactly what you were paid for. None of this is available on the Mac version. That is absolutely incomprehensible to me.

On the bright side, it did cost more than the Windows version.

I'm so angry at Intuit I will probably not even use TurboTax again.

"Not so "QuickBooks""
MacMoney has been a premier accounting program for the Mac for years. To my dismay it is not only unsupported in OS X but is becoming hard to find printers that still support Classic so the switch was made to QuickBooks for my Real Estate and Property Management business.

I followed the manual and on screen instructions for the type of business for over 12 hours only to find the system not performing as expected at which time I went to the internet and found that many others shared my frustration and ended up having to purchase a manual or hire an expert to set up their program.

When I purchased QuickBooks I never expected to have to also pay for assistance to set up my company but this seems to be the norm.

"Don't Try to Convert your QB Windows File"
DO NOT switch from QB for Windows to QB for Mac and expect to take your data with you. After spending half a day on the phone with the tech folks at Intuit (India), I was not able to successfully transfer my data. I was required to edit EVERY TRANSACTION to remove slashes and dashes from the memo fields (I often have dates in there), remove every memorized report, one at a time, including the memorized reports that shipped with the product, as well as every memorized transaction. That is just to prepare the file.

The good news is that I can get my money back after spending another hour on the phone!

"Absolute Junk - Do not buy this product."
This product looks exactly the same as 6.0, 2005, 2006, etc. and does not work any better and for your money you get laughable feature updates. If the version you have works then do not spend $200+ to upgrade. They say it is compatible with the newest version of Mac OSX (Leopard 10.5) but it crashes on my machine significantly more than the previous version did in 10.4. This is an absolutely worthless upgrade.

The one thing that I was hoping for is not even included and they do not tell you when you buy it. You can not do online bill payment like you can on the PC side. Its cross platform compatibility is an absolute joke. When are they going to step into the 21st century and finally make one file format that works across both platforms? We have been able to open .doc and .pdf files for eons without issue.

Their customer support is an absolute joke. No one there has the slightest clue about mac's or about accounting. You are basically on your own. Their online help is laughable. When the software spits out an error code you can not even look it up on their crappy web site. I think that I would be better off doing my accounting on a paper ledger. After the untold hours of crashing, incompatibility, and thousands in extra money that I have spent in accounting fees because of incompatibility I would be better off hiring my own team of accountants in India or China.

I hate to recomend another product from a company as lousy as intuit but I would suggest running parallels or VMware Fusion (to run XP or some other MS OS) and buy a copy of Quickbooks for the PC. It woks better and has better support... well at least for the first 6 months that you own it. Then they will upgrade to 2009 and quit supporting the version you have. All you will have to do is plunk down another $200 for the upgrade that will probably not give you anything more than the last version.

I also hope that you are not a victim of the version of quickbooks that is deleting important information off of customers desktops. If you are good luck with their brain-dead phone support.

In all my 20 years of computing I have NEVER seen a more lousy piece of software than Quickbooks for the Mac nor have I ever seen such shameless upgrade practices as the ones that Intuit makes their money on.

"New User QB'07"
I have just entered into bookkeeping and so far Product is doing little for me, soon to change. I will be taking a class in QB via Local Comm. College. I have done a basic bookkeeping class so I understand the basics of what is happening with the program. Intuit does seem to engender a love hate relationship with their customer base after reading posts on their ( Intuits ) support forums, it is their business model after all and not mine. The Apple version seems possibly stunted/reduced feature wise, but it is too early for me to opine about that, perhaps after my class, which will be all about the windows version I can venture a reasoned view.

"QuickBooks Pro 2007 for Mac", I have a service business. QuickBooks Pro for Mac works well for my business. I create invoices while I'm servicing my customers. I spend 95% of my time on the road. It allows me to be accurate with payables and receivables, spending less time on accounting. In turn I can spend more time with customers.QuickBooks Pro 2007 for Mac (Mac)

"Inuit hasn't fixed or improved QB Mac for years", Intuit claims they spend lots of money supporting the Mac version, but you couldn't tell from QuickBooks Pro 2007. This is essentially the same software they came out with six years ago, and has all the same limitations.

The immediate problem for those considering purchasing this today is that QB Pro 2007 crashes when trying to export to Excel 2008, the latest version of both pieces of software. That's right... Intuit doesn't support the world's largest software publisher's largest-selling product. And they advertise that they do (see the claims about easy export to Excel above). Yet their own Mac support discussion boards are filled with unanswered requests for a solutions to this problem. When you click on "Export to Excel" in a report window it crashes Excel 2008.

I spent an hour on the phone with Intuit and they blame Microsoft. Microsoft blames them. We've been here before, right?

Intuit needs to fix their product, and where is v.2008 with all the features that the Windows or Vista version has?

"I've had a good experience with Quickbooks Pro for Mac", I realize there are quite a few negative reviews here, but I have had nothing but good result from this program. My wife and I run a consulting firm and the fact that Quickbooks has a consulting firm set-up feature sold me on it. We do not need to track sales or inventory, and Quickbooks was able to make that distinction and set up our business just the way it needed to be. The Business Walkthrough is a great feature and made setting up shop very simple.

I was a little intimidated in the beginning, since I have little accounting experience. But I printed out and read the section on Consulting from the help document and everything became more clear to me. Now that I have a better grasp of the features I am much more comfortable with the program. It reminds me a lot of Quicken I use for personal finance, which helps with the comfort factor.

I downloaded the Trial first, and was able to perform all functions and even set up the company. I wanted to see if it would afford everything I needed, and it did. I would recommend people try it first, to see if it gives you everything you are looking for.

My only complaint is the update pricing, or lack there of. Intuit should offer discounts to it's loyal customers.

I would recommend this program to anyone in the consulting field due to the defined business model it can spit out. I like not having all the extra accounts and expenses I don't need to track.

"Intuit makes Microsoft seem user friendly", The only thing worse that Quickbooks for Windows is Quickbooks for Mac. As users of both products, I agree completely with the multiple negative reviews posted earlier. Intuit's refusal to support bugs within their software is unethical. I'd say criminal, but since we all have to agree to a disclaimer that no piece of software comes with any guarantee to do anything, anytime, anywhere, there's no legal recourse.

When are the consumer protection groups going to wake up and go after software companies for their refusal to take responsibility for their products, with Intuit at the head of the line? When are we consumers going to wake up and tell our accountants to take their requirement we use Quickbooks and give us some real alternatives?

I suppose a big part of the problem is that there aren't any decent alternatives. Quickbooks seems to have killed most of them off - but you might take a look at the open source GnuCash program. Perhaps it can morph into a Quickbooks alternative.

"Works but very disappointing", I switched from Money to Quickbooks Pro in 2007. It was a tough transition but worth it for my companies. Now in 2008, I've moved from Windows to Mac in a desperate bid to get computers that work reliably and meet our needs without paying homage to "Emperor Gates". The transfer from Quickbooks Pro Windows to Quickbooks Pro Mac has been absolutely painful. This is largely due to the substandard product that Intuit developed for the Mac. There is no accountant's copy (unless you're willing to send it off and then shut down all record keeping, invoicing or accounting while you wait for the file to come back), you cannot share files between more than one computer on the same network, the menus are not as easy to navigate (some options are actually buried 2 or 3 layers deep), the forms are not as easily customizable or turn out looking as clean/professional, and you can't customize the main screen so you have easy access to the features you use day-to-day. It's just generally more difficult to use on Mac and makes using the product even more challenging, and less worth while, then it was in Windows. I feel there should be more disclosure from Intuit about the serious discrepancy between the Windows and Mac versions of the "same" product. I honestly cannot recommend this product to anyone who does more then basic record keeping or works with a professional accountant. This is not really a professional, small business product.

"Save the $179 and borrow someone's PC", When I bought Quickbooks for Mac Pro I figured there would be a few differences between the PC and Mac version but I had no idea how different! They're essentially two separate programs that even my CPA, who teaches Quickbooks for the PC, couldn't even figure out. He was lost right out of the chute, so he called Intuit and after a being on hold for 20 minutes was told that "yep, the Mac version doesn't have many of the features that come with the PC version." His pronouncement was that the Mac version sucks compared to the PC edition. It's not unusual for there to be minor differences between PC and Mac versions of various software programs but Quickbooks is the worst by far. If you're a Mac ranger, do your research and comparo before you buy. Sorry I spent the money!

"Registration takes forever!!", Registering most software is a process that has been streamlined until it is mostly painless. Not so with Quickbooks Pro for Mac. After buying a copy, I could only open it 8 times before I HAD to register the product - the online registration process failed so I HAD to register by phone. After keying in my license info, I was put on hold for 5 minutes. The agent laboriously re-typed all of my information and tried to sell me more stuff. The agent balked when I asked to complain about this to a supervisor. The software seems OK, but Intuit's system for extracting information out of paying customers is odious and time consuming.

"No doubt great but unsuitable for the UK", Being a devoted Mac fan forced to work on a PC due to software constraints I was really excited to learn that Quickbooks was available in this format. I was unable to purchase it in the UK but quickly found it for sale in the US. Following installation I tried to open an existing Quickbooks (PC) file and discovered that this was not possible. I then spent a lot of time on forums, e-mailing Intuit and calling help lines trying to find out why. Bizarrely US and UK versions are incompatible and Intuit has no plans to release a UK version. PC and Mac versions of Quickbooks are also very reluctant to communicate with each other and a trial version is needed to bridge the gap. I wasted time and money in buying this product and wouldn't want others to make the same mistake.

"Stay awaaaaaaaay from this product.", I returned this product and I am waiting for my refund. I wanted to switch from PC to Mac at work, but this version of Quickbooks did not work. It does not print a customer's total balance!!! It only prints the balance of that particular invoice. I called Intuit, and they said it was "product limitation". Thanks, but no thanks. I want my money back!

"Easy to Use - watered down from Windows version", I've been using QB for Windows for a few years and recently bought a Mac. QB for Mac is like a watered down version of QB for Windows. Much more basic and doesn't have the same helpful "views" that the Windows version has. Still easy to use and works great for what I need. I would recommend it to others.
