I ran into this with Quicken for the Mac. They hadn't produced an Intel version

an Intel native version of Quicken for Mac 2007.

the same company (that are supposedly solving the same problem?just on 2 different
OS's) were so incompatible. After many hours on the phone with support (most of that
with level 3?who aren't supposed to be dummies) it was deemed impossible!
At one point I did manage to get the transactions imported, but all 8000+ transactions
had the same date?not particularly useful!

I have two NIB (sealed) copies of Filemaker Pro
6, one for
Windows and one for Mac. I additionally have one opened
Unfortunately it appears it won't work on Mac OS X 10.7. I've been
using FileMaker Pro since '95, but have only run two versions in that
time. I bought v2.1, and later upgraded to v5.5, which won't run on
10.7. It's also one of two reasons I'm still on 10.6.8. Sadly
FileMaker, just like most of the industry, has gotten really crappy
about their upgrade policies.
I'll probably end up dumping my databases and importing them into an
Open Source db of some sort. Some of these db's have been bouncing
around on my systems since dBase III on my Kaypro 2000 back in the
80's.
