I just got version 5.11 and had it set up on an older MacBook Pro. I now have a new MacBook Pro and am in the process of transferring my file (tried exporting a .QMFT file) to the new one so I can use it there. I can't seem to open the .QMFT file on the new computer. What am I doing wrong: should I be exporting a different file type?

Yes, you should be doing it differently. QMTF is an old format, is not importable to QM19 and wouldn't keep all your file's info anyway.
What you should do is click menu File > Save a Backup. Move that file over to your new MacBook and double click it there to restore into QM19 on that machine.Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s6
