I recently moved from Windows to a Mac, but I still have to keep Virtualbox and Windows installation on the machine to use Quicken.

iBank looked promising, but I had problems importing my data from Quicken. I would switch to Mint if they would allow you to enter transactions manually, but the lack of that feature is a deal breaker. (I use Quicken primarily to track uncleared transactions, with the bonus of reporting on past spending.)

Is there any other software I should try that will be able to import at least most of my old data from Quicken?

Edit: For what it's worth, I never did find anything else. Quicken Essentials for Mac was released this year, but doesn't handle investments well from what I hear. I'm now on Quicken 2010 under XP running inside Virtualbox. It's not ideal, but it seems to be the only thing around right now that meets my needs.

Quicken 2007 is available for Mac OS X. There's some consternation about the next version of Quicken for the Mac, and the 2007 version is a bit old, but I use it and it works just fine for me.

I cannot for the life of me explain why this did not occur to me. – Ryan O Jul 15 '09 at 14:56
Amazon reviews complain about problems importing a Windows Quicken file into the Mac version. Did you ever do that, or has your file been Mac from the beginning? – Ryan O Jul 15 '09 at 15:04
My file has been Mac from the beginning, though it dates back to Quicken '98 or something and has been constantly upgraded with each new Mac version of Quicken. – John Siracusa Jul 15 '09 at 15:42

Cha-Ching is a cool application that has a slick interface. I've used it in the past (although I've just switched to Mint now) and really liked it. It does import Quicken and Microsoft Money files.

The company no longer exists. It looks like some of Cha-Ching became Quicken Essentials for Mac. – Daniel Beck Jun 3 '11 at 18:18

Buxfer is along the lines of mint but allows you to enter transactions manually. I've been using it for two years now and its great.
