Q&A: Counting Money and Minutes March 8, 2012, 6:44 am Will there ever be a full version of Quicken that runs on a new Mac? Intuit, the company that makes the Quicken personal finance software for Windows and many versions of Mac OS X, announced at the end of January that it was working on an edition of the program that would work on Mac computers running the latest version of Mac OS X. Apple's Mac OS X 10.7 system, also known as "Lion," was released last year and many users were upset to find that Quicken for Mac 2007 (and earlier) did not run on it. The new version - awkwardly referred to as Lion Compatible Quicken for Mac 2007 on the Intuit site - is expected to arrive sometime this spring. The company has a page of information about this Lion-capable Quicken, which also includes a link to sign up for an e-mail alert when the updated program is available. The company's Quicken Essentials for Mac software does work on Mac OS X 10.7, as do programs like iBank and sites like Mint.com. Most alternatives do not have the same set of features that made Quicken for Mac so popular with its users, but hopefully the Quicken faithful running Mac OS X 10.7 will not have to wait much longer.
