Quicken for Mac Conversion Instructions Quicken for Mac 2015-2016 Web Connect Introduction As Keystone Savings Bank completes its system conversion, you will need to modify your Quicken settings to ensure the smooth transition of your data. Please reference the dates next to each task as this information is time sensitive. I used Quicken 2007 for home and business (Windows version) for 10 years. Tried the upgrade to 2011 but went back to 2007 version as new features were just complications. Now we have switched to Mac computers and bought 2017 Quicken for Mac. Hugely disappointed, can’t even print a reconciliation statement along with the illogical interfaces. https://cleverpractice.weebly.com/fnaf-1-download-for-mac.html.

Starting from scratch with Q Mac 2017 and can't find a user guide or figure out how to add an auto loan, mortgage, or HELOC. Do I have to add an auto as an asset and track payments and payoff info manually? Same for mortgage. Why aren't these categories listed?

Until it does at some time in the future,- add mortgage accounts as liability accounts and do NOT attempt to connect them to the bank for transaction downloading

https://www.quicken.com/support/getting-started-quicken-mac-2016 - edited November 2017Adding the loans for Mortage/Auto is not the issue. Pretty much just add new liability accounts for these loans. The issue will be loan amortization which at present cannot be handled in QM.we understand this is a very high priority with the QM folks but have no visibility as to when it will be available.

Thanks! Very useful information. I am still a bit surprised that there isn't more of an instruction manual issued as part of the Quicken for Mac 2017 program. Perhaps I'll find one in the future.Quicken Mac hasn't quite mastered the art of mortgage accounts yet.

Thanks. I have worked out the amortization with online calculators and it comes out different than the mortgage projections due to the additional principle applied with each payment (I'm kind of OCD about round numbers and add just enough to round up to the closest $100). I think I will be able to do the splits manually, was just hoping it could be downloaded/updated automatically. thanks againAdding the loans for Mortage/Auto is not the issue.

Exactly! I plan on paying this off early and needed to keep track. I was blown away quicken did not have this function. It took me 5 minutes to draft an excel spreadsheet. I just plan on using Quicken to see total bill paid and the spreadsheet to follow principal, interest and balance.Adding the loans for Mortage/Auto is not the issue. Pretty much just add new liability accounts for these loans.

Check out the templates for the Mortgage calculator in Numbers under the Personal financial category. This should suffice for you until Qm is updated to handle loans - edited March 2017Yay. Found some posts that are relevant but not EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. I'm an experienced Quickbooks user but new to Quicken for Mac (I used Quicken way back in the dark ages so not literally 'new' to it but it doesn't even ring any bells since now I'm new to Mac). I tried to set up my mortgage account but no matter whether I entered an opening balance in the Increase column or the Decrease column or attempted other manipulations it keeps showing up in the Liability Accounts (correctly) but as a positive amount and not a negative. ?!
