in New to Quicken/Getting Started (Mac)
I am having just a brutal time transitioning from Q 2007 to Q 2019, worst I've had in more than 30 years as a Mac user. I've seen the videos online; these are informative but not very useful because in order to use them you have to switch back and forth from YouTube to Quicken. I would gladly pay up to $100 for a print manual that I could use.

Quicken For Mac Instruction Manual Online

Starting from scratch with Q Mac 2017 and can't find a user guide or figure out how to add an auto loan, mortgage, or HELOC. Do I have to add an auto as an asset and track payments and payoff info manually? Same for mortgage. Why aren't these categories listed?

    Quicken Mac hasn't quite mastered the art of mortgage accounts yet.
    Until it does at some time in the future,
    • add mortgage accounts as liability accounts and do NOT attempt to connect them to the bank for transaction downloading
    • ditto for auto loans
    • add LOC, HELOC, etc. accounts as if they were credit card accounts, because they are what I call 'put-and-take' accounts. You withdraw money from the account and pay it back and you can do so repeatedly. Your bank may even support these accounts for transaction downloading.
    • To make mortgage payments, set up a transaction in your checking account with the Splits for
      - principal as a transfer to the mortgage account register
      - interest categorized to Mortgage Loan or Auto Loan (or similar category)
      - additional principal (if any) as transfer to the mortgage account
      - escrow (if any) as transfer to an escrow account (a Cash or Checking account not connected to any bank for transaction downloading)
      You will to adjust the exact amounts of principal and interest paid every month based on the mortgage company's monthly statement.

    Adding the loans for Mortage/Auto is not the issue. Pretty much just add new liability accounts for these loans. The issue will be loan amortization which at present cannot be handled in QM..we understand this is a very high priority with the QM folks but have no visibility as to when it will be available.
    Check out the templates for the Mortgage calculator in Numbers under the Personal financial category.. This should suffice for you until Qm is updated to handle loans

    Thanks! Very useful information. I am still a bit surprised that there isn't more of an instruction manual issued as part of the Quicken for Mac 2017 program. Perhaps I'll find one in the future.

    Thanks. I have worked out the amortization with online calculators and it comes out different than the mortgage projections due to the additional principle applied with each payment (I'm kind of OCD about round numbers and add just enough to round up to the closest $100). I think I will be able to do the splits manually, was just hoping it could be downloaded/updated automatically. thanks again

    Exactly! I plan on paying this off early and needed to keep track. I was blown away quicken did not have this function. It took me 5 minutes to draft an excel spreadsheet. I just plan on using Quicken to see total bill paid and the spreadsheet to follow principal, interest and balance.

    Yay. Found some posts that are relevant but not EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. I'm an experienced Quickbooks user but new to Quicken for Mac (I used Quicken way back in the dark ages so not literally 'new' to it but it doesn't even ring any bells since now I'm new to Mac). I tried to set up my mortgage account but no matter whether I entered an opening balance in the Increase column or the Decrease column or attempted other manipulations it keeps showing up in the Liability Accounts (correctly) but as a positive amount and not a negative. ?!
