Quick Books 2011 (Mac) - Lion is a no go!

[^^BIGMac]

Aaaah...perfect.

Received an email from Intuit letting me know that Quick Books 2011 for Mac is not compatible with OS X Lion.

Their solution? Partition your HD (for the foreseeable future) and run SL there so you can run Quick Books and continue to operate your business. Jeeeze. That company is maddening.

Thoughts?

lion lets you run lion iside it (basically, your mac has two osx's open simultaneous, i dont know all the details but it might let you run snow leopard inside lion via that. It might even have a compatibility mode :?

Virtual Machine SL or send that company down the river, personally I like the latter option

There is no compatibility mode. I think the other thing you are talking about is using virtualization software like Parallels or VirtualBox to run SL.

Is this a surprise really? Intuit is a bunch of losers.

I was reading on the Intuit site, and they said that it doesn't work now but they are working on a solution to get the new version 2011, to work with Lion. Older versions will not be updated to work in Lion, only wiil work with Snow Leopard.

Here is the link:

No it's not a surprise. Bunch of losers indeed.

LOL...received this one just now...

Good news!

QuickBooks 2011 for Mac is now compatible with Lion with the R10 update we released this morning. If you already have QuickBooks 2011 for Mac, just install the R10 update when prompted. (Or go to the QuickBooks menu and choose “Check for Updates” to get the latest.)

QuickBooks 2010 for Mac and earlier
As we announced previously, QuickBooks 2010 for Mac and earlier versions are not officially supported on Lion. (You can read more about this at http://bit.ly/qyca5F.) Although QuickBooks 2010 for Mac and earlier versions may run on Mac OS X 10.7, some features may not run correctly. (You can see the known issues at http://bit.ly/o4JgUb)

If the features of Lion aren't a big deal for you and you don't want to upgrade your version of QuickBooks, then just stay with the version of Mac OS and QuickBooks you currently use. We can continue to help you with any problems you may run into.

If you must upgrade to Lion and don’t want to upgrade QuickBooks, you can continue running QuickBooks for Mac on a partition. You can learn more about setting up a partition at this article by Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4722

If you want to run QuickBooks for Mac on Lion, you should upgrade to QuickBooks 2011 for Mac. That way if you do run into any problems, we can help you. You can find QuickBooks 2011 for Mac on our website at http://quickbooks.com/mac and at most major retailers.

We really appreciate your business and wish you happy accounting whether you choose to upgrade to Lion or stay with your current version of Mac OS X. And remember, we’re on Twitter or Facebook if you want to swing by.

Sincerely,

The QuickBooks for Mac Team

I strongly suggest switching to iBank, rather than stay with Intuit. The fact they still use PowerPC architecture 6 years after Apple announces they're switching to Intel is an insult in and of itself to its Mac customers.

I don't believe iBank is a business solution, i.e. invoicing, payroll, payables etc. Seems more of a personal fiance solution.

In spite of being losers, Inuit seems to have come up with a quick solution based on the information I posted up there ^^^.

Did Intuit say anything about their different versions? Does QB Pro work?

Ughhh. This is a major headache. Freakin' Quickbooks kept me from switching my office PC's to Macs because I heard horror stories. QB for PC is pretty good, but now I am getting worried.

Intuit doesn't care about Mac users. I say we shouldn't care either.
