Resolved Question

Third party software support for LION

by Aug 29, 2011 3:59AM PDT

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER"> <span id="INSERTION_MARKER"> I just purchased a new Mac with Lion operating system already installed, and to my dismay, found that several of my programs are not supported on the new OS. ie: Intuit Quciken, Cisco Linksys routers, etc.<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">Intuit customer service advise me that they have NO plans to support LION operating system, and that files from Snow Leopard cannot be loaded into LION, even from a back up disk.
<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">After a lengthy chat with Cisco customer service, yesterday, they also admitted that they, also, have NO immediate plans to support the LION operating system, either. That leaves me with a new Linksys 3200 router, dead in the water.
<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">Anyone else out there having similar experiences with support for LION?

Some people have different ideas as to what "support" means

in the case of Quicken, they have yet to build a decent financial application for the Mac, one that has all the functionality of the Windows versions.
Quicken Essentials, which is what they will advise you to buy, apparently does not live up to its name.

I took you suggestion and bought I-Bank last night. I could not load the quicken files into I-Bank,using my LION Mac, so I loaded I-Bank onto a flash drive, booted up my old Mac with Snow Leopard, loaded the 20 years worth of Quicken files, in less than 5 minutes, and then loaded I - Bank back into my LION machine.
