Thanks for the first feedback. Are you running QM2007 on an APFS formatted drive or HFS+ (Mac OS Extended)?jlgg said:Tonight I installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive. I opened QM2007. All accounts and past transactions seem intact. The problems began with newly entered data.
1) Downloaded today's security quotes. A popup appeared saying the prices could not be saved. Quit the program, re-opened, and today's quotes had indeed disappeared. Repeated the process several times to verify. All past quotes and transaction history are intact.
2) Tried entering new transactions in different account registers. A similar popup saying the transaction could not be saved appeared. However, upon quitting and reopening the program, the new transactions were retained.
Obviously this is just a Beta release, and we'll have to hope future updates may correct these issues.
Running on APFS formatted drive. I was already using APFS and running under High Sierra without issue except for the widely noted automatic back-up issues.jlgg said:Tonight I installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive.

Well, there's the possibility that it will behave differently if the data file is on an HFS+ external drive, or an HFS+ partition of an APFS drive (assuming the latter is even allowed by Mojave). And there's also the possibility that the problems observed so far have nothing to do with APFS. Or that subsequent iterations of Mojave will work better with Quicken 2007. Many variables...jlgg said:Tonight I installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive. I opened QM2007. All accounts and past transactions seem intact. The problems began with newly entered data.

Converting to APFS is the default in beta 1 with no options to override. But IIRC, the same was true with High Sierra then Apple added the option. Only time will tell.jlgg said:Tonight I installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive. I opened QM2007. All accounts and past transactions seem intact. The problems began with newly entered data.

Apple clearly wants to move everything forward to APFS, so it's unlikely they'll provide an option not to on fusion boot drives unless they again run into any problems they can't solve by the release date. I'd guess they've worked out the issues from a year ago.jlgg said:Tonight I installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive. I opened QM2007. All accounts and past transactions seem intact.

Agreed. We will have to wait and see which direction they take.jlgg said:Tonight I installed Mojave 10.14 Beta on an external drive. I opened QM2007. All accounts and past transactions seem intact. The problems began with newly entered data.

Backups.Gary Thompson said:I also upgraded to the Mojave beta (build 18A314k) and Quicken opened with no problem. I added a transaction to 2 different accounts, both times getting the not able to save message. When I closed and reopened Quicken, the transactions were, indeed, gone. Now every time I try to open Quicken, it quits instantly. I installed Quicken 2007 on my laptop with High Sierra (10.13.5) and tried to open my original file. Neither my original file, nor any of the backups will open on the laptop. I get an Unable To Load error on every file I try. As of now, I have no Quicken and no data. Any ideas?
Scott, this thread is about Quicken 2007 compatibility with Mojave. There's another thread here where users are posting about their experiences with Quicken 2018 and the Mojave beta.Scott Saylor said:I'm running QM 2018 5.6.3 (Build 56.22447.100) and recently installed Mac OS Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A314k) on a late 2014 Mac Mini 2.6 GHz i5. The root drive was converted to APFS but 3 external Seagate USB drives (media, backup & spare) were left alone in HFS+. The media drive was mounted in the upgrade (presumably because of iTunes & Photos libraries) but the backup and spare drives were left unmounted. I just mounted them both and am doing a backup so it looks like everything is functional for me.
Right. Previous posts questioned whether or not the older version could be installed on an external HFS+ external drive. The install does NOT convert any external drives to AFPS so it should be possible to install on a HFS+ external drive.

Ah, got it; I was thrown off by your mention of Quicken 2018, which has no problem with APFS hard drives. For the Quicken 2007 folks, thanks for confirming Mojave leaves HFS+ external hard drives untouched... at least as of this beta.Scott Saylor said:I'm running QM 2018 5.6.3 (Build 56.22447.100) and recently installed Mac OS Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A314k) on a late 2014 Mac Mini 2.6 GHz i5.

Thx for sharing!jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS. Quicken 2007 is now running exactly as it has been in High Sierra. The issues I had on earlier betas with Quicken not saving new transactions and downloaded quotes is fixed.
BTW, can you confirm if Mojave supports creating HFS+ (MacOS Extended) partitions, e.g. using Disk Utilities?jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

Disk Utility in Mojave does have the ability to format external drives as HFS+.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

Any further updates on QM2007 and Mojave compatibility now that Mojave has been released? Comments please!jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS. Quicken 2007 is now running exactly as it has been in High Sierra.

Works fine. I’ve been using it all the way through the OS X Public Beta program and it never faltered. As always, just make sure you have a good backup before you upgrade.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

Works fine for me. Same as in High Sierra. (Won't automatically back-up files).jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

Any more info on the Mojave installer having an option to NOT format the drive with APFS?jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

@smayer97, the Mojave installer does not have any way to prevent the conversion of any internal hard drive -- fusion drives are now included -- to APFS.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS. Quicken 2007 is now running exactly as it has been in High Sierra. The issues I had on earlier betas with Quicken not saving new transactions and downloaded quotes is fixed.
I recall there being an option in High Sierra installer to prevent APFS conversion but I guess at some point they took it out and clearly it is not there for Mojave either.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

They are talking about this on MacRumors mojave forum. Here's the linkjlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

Thanks...mostly just repeats what the other article states. Does not clarify if in all situations drives are converted to APFS. I have posed the question there...we'll see if I get an answer.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

If you have HPF formatted external drives, the Mojave install should leave them alone. I have 2 external USB drives - one for Time Machine Backups, and one for iTunes media files. Neither of these drives were converted to APFS during the Mojave Public Beta install. Only the root/system drive was converted. As a side note, the installer did leave the 2 external USB drives unmounted, but that was easy to resolve.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

PS , I haven’t tried formatting a new drive yet but I wouldn’t be surprised to see APFS as the default.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.

So that shows that BETA does not do this for external drives. Would be good to get confirmation on the public release.jlgg said:I installed the latest Mojave Beta tonight on an external drive formatted with AFPS.
