All Intuit’s Mac-eggs are going in to the Quicken Essentials basket - a watered-down version of Quicken.
QUICKEN FOR MAC CLOUD BACKUP OPTIONS UPDATE
Turns out, no, they aren’t going to update Quicken. The more I read about Quicken, however, the more insane it became. I truly believed Intuit would update Quicken and all would be good. The big Lion deal-breaker for me was it’s incompatibility with Quicken 2007 for Mac. Next I read as much as I could about the update. Time Machine is good for that, but I only trust it so far. They are both packrats and digital packrats.Īfter that, I backed everything up.

To listen to me cleaning out the three user profiles on the iMac, going through the kids’ downloads folders, the TV seasons folder, and the messy desktops would have been indistinguishable from listening to me clean up my kids’ rooms. So anyway, starting on Monday, I spent two days cleaning out our Macs. I do like saving $100 on a MobileMe subscription. I like free back up, but I don’t like having to make the move. I like the idea of all Mac device users getting mac.com or me.com accounts. I can’t really see any improvement with iCloud - unless of course Back to My Mac starts working reliably, or cloud storage and back-up starts working like Dropbox (my all time favorite program/backup system/syncing system/file sharing system EVER!). From what I can tell, the benefit of iCloud is for NON MobileMe users. My guess is, that just like taking on a simple home project, iCloud morphed out of Apple’s not being able to fix MobileMe the way they wanted to. Maybe I should switch to Lion… I wonder if…” And so it goes. iCloud, iCloud, iCloud… “I wonder if it’s better. I was irritated that I had to move everything when it was all working fine. And for the life of me, I could not figure out what the fricken difference was between it and MobileMe. Having had my head in the iSand for months now, I didn’t recall ever hearing about iCloud.

The clock was ticking! But first you had to upgrade to Lion. …And the constant reminder to transfer MobileMe (contacts, calendars, mail, etc.) before June. It’s so fun! And never as scary as my Mac OS. I simply cannot resist the temptation to update my iPhone. My decision to upgrade usually hinges on some small thing. Most of the time it comes in the form of “trash your preferences.” Or, “uninstall Windowshade.” And you find yourself thinking, “if I had only known that ahead of time!” Eventually you get it figured out, but only after spending hours researching the fix. It could be some element of your main programs that don’t play nice. OS updates never - I mean never - go without a hitch. I did not have the time, nor the inclination to tackle a new operating system on top of everything else.

I left Lion to languish since it’s arrival in the App Store several months ago. But remember: my tag line is “the dichotomous life of a Mac Geek Farm Girl.” To know me is to love me? And Macs are a big slice.
