Transferring Quicken files from a PC to a Mac requires you to install Quicken on both computers. Since Macintosh and Windows both require software specific to their operating systems, you can't use your PC version of Quicken on a Mac and vice-versa. Business owners who use Quicken to track finances, invoices and payments can save their files in a format that a Mac computer can read effectively. This enables you to transfer your PC Quicken data to a Mac system.
Preparing Files
1.Launch Quicken on your PC and then click 'Tools' and 'Account List.'
2.Select 'Options' and then 'View Hidden Accounts.'
3.Click 'Manage Accounts.' Then, uncheck all of the 'Hide in Quicken' checkboxes.
