<p>Moneydnace does indeed work on a mac.</p>
<p>Quickbooks data files are a problem not only for Moneydance but
for all personal finance management software including Quicken. The
standard for moving data between personal finance management
software is the QIF (Quicken Interchange Format). Unfortunately
Quickbooks cannot write to this format and their native file format
is propietary and cannot be read y other applications. There are
tools that exist that convert Quickbooks data to QIF however the
most popular one is $49. Reading the wikipedia entry on the QIF
format there is a section on converting Quickbooks data to QIF
using a report and and Excell macro. Here is the link to the
wikipedia entry:</p>
<p><a href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Format">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Format</a></p>
<p>Look at the section "Export Hacks for QuickBooks: exporting to
QIF" From the looks of things this is not a straight forward
process. It is also something I have no experience with and is
outside the scope of Moneydance support.</p>
<p>If you want to get away from Quickbooks, although inconvenient,
it might be better to just start a fresh with a new data file.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
