![]() I haven't used Moneydance in months and when I opened it I got a free update to 2019. At first glance it appears more user friendly. I have a year to go on my Quicken and learning new software hurts my head.īased on your "one batch file" I downloaded Moneydance to try it out. The only import mechanism I could find was via QIF files and those only work one account at a time. I have dozens of accounts so that seems like a massive project. QIF files aren't very good at dealing with transfers between accounts, unless there have been big changes. It is a kind of forensic exercise to recognize account transfers, especially with split transactions, like a mortgage payment that goes to principle (one account), escrow (another account), and interest (an expense as opposed to an account). I literally have hundreds of such transactions to multiple institutions. I also suspect that investment transactions (reinvested dividends, dividends going to sweep account, and other things) are probably not handled well. You recently wrote about hard-drive cleanup for Windows. Could you also address the same issue for Macs?Ī. For years, Mac computers did not come with utilities like Disk Cleanup and the newer Storage Sense found in Windows, but Apple added new tools in 2016 with the release of its macOS Sierra system. ![]() If your Mac is running at least that version of the system, go to the Apple Menu, select About This Mac and click the Storage tab. ![]() On the Storage screen, you should see a graphic showing your drive’s available space. Click the Manage button on the right side of the box to get started. The resulting storage-management screen offers four ways to clear off old files: Store in iCloud, Optimize Storage, Empty Trash Automatically and Reduce Clutter.Īs one might expect, the Store in iCloud option punts documents, photos and Messages off your Mac’s drive and into your iCloud online storage locker. While this does free up room on the computer, you may have to buy more iCloud storage space from Apple if you fill up your five gigabytes that come free with an iCloud account.Įnabling the Optimize Storage feature dumps iTunes videos you have already watched, but you can download them again later. The setting also changes the Mail program’s behavior regarding file attachments to retrieve only recent files - or only those that came with messages you have opened. Sonos has tried to stress that the older products are still going to be supported, but it has made the distinction that they’re not going to get new software updates and therefore won’t get most new features, with the exception of bug fixes and security patches. You can still cluster legacy speakers together for multiroom audio. It’s when you mix old and new products that things get confusing. So if you have a new version of the Sonos One speaker (2019), but you also happen to have an original Sonos Play: 5 (2009), you have a few options, none of which are ideal. First, you can remove the Play:5 from your Sonos setup, upgrade the Sonos One speaker to the S2 OS and new Sonos app, and get all of the latest features on your speaker. Second, you could “trade in” that Play:5, get 30 percent off of a newer Sonos product, and then do whatever you want with the old speaker-discard it, hand it off to a friend, or store it in your personal speaker museum. Or third, you could keep using the Play:5, only you’ll have to decide if you want to run two disparate systems and apps-one for that speaker, one for your newer Sonos One-or keep every speaker running on the less modern Sonos S1 OS and Sonos S1 app. Once Sonos introduces new speakers later this year (and for argument’s sake let’s give Sonos the benefit of the doubt, even though Covid-19 is disrupting global supply chains), those new speakers will be required to run on the S2 software.
