Hi Jewels, you may be referring to me in your email below - I am/was an MYOB consultant, use Macs myself, although most of my work is with the Dark Side. It would be best if you contact me on my mobile, 0439 388 669, so we can discuss this more efficiently.

Re: Has Anyone Any Suggestions? MYOB AccountEdge
No problem Jewels,
Obviously you have already tried the "simple" step by step instructions for the
MAC on <http://help.myob.com.au/ae18/mac/new_features_7.001.htm> I cannot say
that I am surprised that when you actually try to implement this it is not as
"simple" as they like to make out - unfortunately it seems to be a standard
marketing tactic to try and sell all these things as quick and easy and reality
ends up being a bit different.
Hopefully someone else on the list may have some real experience of this - good
luck.
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,
Many thanks for your detailed email and you have done well to accomplish
what you have achieved so far.
Problem for me is that I work for myself - my biggest client (who is also a
friend) has a large roofing company and employs around 13 guys, so that
definitely puts me in the category of having to be on this new STP system
unfortunately. I have spent hours on the phone to MYOB who flatly say there
are no webinars for training for Account Edge. They have suggested I do the PC
version, but have been warned it will not help me set my Mac up for this - I
guess only to gain an understanding of the system in general. They did put me
onto people who could help, but when I called them I was told they had no
experience in Mac, so that was a waste of time.
Every year I pay Mac for the upgrades and their support and have been told
this webinar will cost $150 (for the PC training). When I speak to anyone at
MYOB, they do not appear to have any experience in MYOB. I am most definitely
not a happy person about this.
I have tried all the alternatives you suggest, including the MYOB
community, without success. I recall a few years ago a member of WAMUG sounded
as though he had good experience in MYOB and was hoping he would pick up my
initial email and respond. Sadly, I cannot recall his name though.
I’ve been using MYOB for years and work alongside a firm of accountants who
also use MYOB, so I cannot really move to another system. Also, I really do
not have time on my hands to learn a different system before the end of this
month.
I guess I’ll continue hunting for someone to assist me. Many thanks again
for taking the time to reply to me Neil.
Cheers

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Being a MYOB user since the early 80's, I was dismayed the other week to find a problem with the internet re-registering of the program. Every so often (about 4 months I think) the program needs to contact head office via the internet to prove that it's legal, or alternatively I believe you can telephone to do it. I was doing my bit with the accounts of a social/service club when the program decided that the re-registration was not approved, and I had to phone MYOB to sort things out. This was (at the time) impossible, let alone inconvenient, even later having to track down receipts, code numbers etc. when not expecting to have to do so again. Then going through the process of telephoning MYOB, going through many and various voice prompts and finally waiting to talk to a real person. He did fix the problem immediately with full apologies, something to do with the introduction of Lion he said, and would probably happen once more in four months time (I think) I know it's not the fault of the person on the line, but he is my only contact! I told him that I wasn't satisfied with the situation. If they had a problem with the re-registration then it was their problem, not mine, and should have made it open slather to all in sundry until they fixed their problem. Not inconvenience every one their own customers. I told him that by the time I next had to register via telephone call I would probably have transferred my accounting program. As it was, I was already playing around with another accounting program and I am now in full change mode. The fact that for reasons beyond your own control, you can lose access to a program that you have purchased, let alone the data you have produced, is just not good enough. I will make sure that any other programs I buy will NOT be continuing registration ones. Regards Peter p.s. I always buy the programs that I use!

If someone gives me say MYOB PC Version 17 and I open it in my latest MYOB 9.6, it will update the file to the 9.6 version and when I return it to them, they won't be able to open it as they have an old version 17 of MYOB and not the latest. I was told that Mac MYOB 9 will open PC Version 19 without updating, (as this is the latest version on both Mac PC) Mac Vers 8 will open PC Version 18 without updating and so on.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Curtis, I have had the same problem since upgrading to the MYOB 9.6 - I have over the past few years had to call in to re-register and I am still using Leopard, so I doubt if it has anything to do with the fact you are using Lion. It would appear, as you say, a problem of their making.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Jewels It was the guy at MYOB who said it was caused by Lion, I personally don't know what the cause is/was. Either way, it's their problem, not mine. Regards Peter On 01/05/2012, at 4:18 PM, Julie Bedford wrote: Hi Curtis, I have had the same problem since upgrading to the MYOB 9.6 - I have over the past few years had to call in to re-register and I am still using Leopard, so I doubt if it has anything to do with the fact you are using Lion. It would appear, as you say, a problem of their making. Cheers Jewels On 01/05/2012, at 2:21 PM, Curtis Peter wrote: Hi Being a MYOB user since the early 80's, I was dismayed the other week to find a problem with the internet re-registering of the program. Every so often (about 4 months I think) the program needs to contact head office via the internet to prove that it's legal, or alternatively I believe you can telephone to do it. I was doing my bit with the accounts of a social/service club when the program decided that the re-registration was not approved, and I had to phone MYOB to sort things out. This was (at the time) impossible, let alone inconvenient, even later having to track down receipts, code numbers etc. when not expecting to have to do so again. Then going through the process of telephoning MYOB, going through many and various voice prompts and finally waiting to talk to a real person. He did fix the problem immediately with full apologies, something to do with the introduction of Lion he said, and would probably happen once more in four months time (I think) I know it's not the fault of the person on the line, but he is my only contact! I told him that I wasn't satisfied with the situation. If they had a problem with the re-registration then it was their problem, not mine, and should have made it open slather to all in sundry until they fixed their problem. Not inconvenience every one their own customers. I told him that by the time I next had to register via telephone call I would probably have transferred my accounting program. As it was, I was already playing around with another accounting program and I am now in full change mode. The fact that for reasons beyond your own control, you can lose access to a program that you have purchased, let alone the data you have produced, is just not good enough. I will make sure that any other programs I buy will NOT be continuing registration ones. Regards Peter p.s. I always buy the programs that I use! But having had my fingers burnt on a few occasions, like to trial first. Any program I look at has this facility available. That's my rant anyway! On 01/05/2012, at 6:04 AM, F.W.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi again Walter Your accountant only needs to get it (if he hasn't already got it) if you decide to upgrade to AE v11. If you are happy with v7, then just stick with it. He quite likely has Accounting Plus/Premier v17 which can access your data file. There may come a time when the accountant will say you gave to upgrade. Cheers, Alex On 01/05/2012, at 6:04 AM, F.W.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Alex, I have clients who use MYOB for PC, whereas I use MYOB for Mac. At the moment, there is no problem opening the files backwards and forwards after completing their bookkeeping requirements. However, I understand that with the new version of MYOB for Mac V11, you can no longer do this ? If so, what would someone in my position have to do in order to continue to be able to share files ? I do bookkeeping for clients and therefore it is imperative that I have this function.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Jewels If you are not already a Partner with MYOB, as Bookkeeper or Certified Consultant, the I would suggest that you become one. As a Bookkeeping Partner, the cost is not onerous I am fairly certain that you get access to the latest releases as they are released. You also get priority phone support amongst other benefits. Certified Consultant is more expensive but still not onerous if you are running a business.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Alex, That's interesting. Perhaps I should suggest to the accountant to obtain that Partner edition V11. Thanks for you info. Cheers, Walter On 01/05/2012, at 12:49 , Alex wrote: Hi Walter The latest version of AccountEdge, v11, is not compatible with any Windows version of MYOB AccountRight. The cross platform compatibility ended with AE v9.x / AR v19.x. However, MYOB have provided a Windows programme, AccountEdge Partner Edition v11, for their partners, ie accountants consultants, which allows them to access their clients' Mac data files if they do not have a Mac themselves.

Chris, Used to use MYOB on Mac (with book keeper/accountant on Window) - now use Saasu.com, a hosted (software-as-a-service) accounting system. You give your advisers a special login, no need to send files all over the place. This is an excellent accounting option for small business.

Re: MYOB cross platform
Hi Chris, I use MYOB Mac from home and also MYOB Win in the office. My understanding is that as long as the most current programs are being used (for Mac and Win) - these files will work on both pcs. This I have been told is the latest MYOB capability between the two PCs. In my own experience, I have put the Win MYOB file on the Mac, opened within MYOB and have gotten an identical file. The same applies the other way around (however, I personally have not had the need to transfer Mac to Win - but my accountant assures me it functions correctly on the Win) You do not need to change the extensions. Copy the latest Backup zip file, say on a thumb drive and place into PC and open again within MYOB.

MYOB AccountEdge V9 - Network Version
Evening all, Just chasing some advice. I've been helping a friend who is helping a mates business. 1 x Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Server 2 x Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Client The server is doing very basic, Time Machine backups, afp shares and print services. They are also moving up from MYOB V8 to V9 using NetworkEdge. We have installed NetworkEdge on all three computers. On the server we can't use the System Preferences pane to start FileConnect. It doesn't work for some reason, under Console it gives us an auth error -60031(I think). Very odd. If we goto: /Library/Application Support/FileConnect/FileConnect.app It opens and starts serving, that not so much of an issue although it doesn't seem to be serving correctly? On client computers the server comes up but the program locks up when you click on it and it eventually reports there was a connection issue (~2 mins). Although directly on the server it works correctly. I forced it to use port 5 and defined it with ipfw and then the Firewall service with no luck. Any ideas?

Re: MYOB Backup Query
Hi Daniel I am glad to be able to return the favour and give an answer to this one! It is a bug in this version of AccountEdge. It is due to the installer not giving the correct permissions to the MYOB AccountEdge v8 sub folders and contents. Solution: Locate the AccountEdge 8 folder do a Command I on it to see the Get Info stuff. Expand the Sharing Permissions if it is not already expanded. Click on the padlock on the bottom right corner of that box to unlock it and enter administrator id password if requested. Change all users to have read AND write permissions. Click on the sunflower icon to the left of the padlock and choose apply to enclosed items. Click on the padlock to lock it up again. All is well again. This is a problem only if you choose Backup All Data. If you choose Backup Datafile Only, it will create a successful backup. Further to this, I agree with a couple comments made re using other backup methods. I always recommend doing a straight copy in the finder from HD to a USB thumb drive thingy or whatever they want to be called these days. For some/many users, if this is their only back up, and they do not direct it elsewhere off the HD, then if their computer is irretrievably damaged/lost, they have no backup because MYOB's default backup location is on the hard drive! Also with a straight copy, the file is not compressed, so it is a straight copy back if needed. I have recently started to do a MYOB backup to the hard drive as a secondary backup and in the situation where I have just done one or two transactions. MYOB will be fixing this up and sending a patch out eventually.

Re: MYOB Backup Query
Thanks Alex, that's appreciate. Will give that a go. Kind Regards Daniel On 10/11/08 1:18 AM, Alex Novakovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Daniel I am glad to be able to return the favour and give an answer to this one! It is a bug in this version of AccountEdge. It is due to the installer not giving the correct permissions to the MYOB AccountEdge v8 sub folders and contents. Solution: Locate the AccountEdge 8 folder do a Command I on it to see the Get Info stuff. Expand the Sharing Permissions if it is not already expanded. Click on the padlock on the bottom right corner of that box to unlock it and enter administrator id password if requested. Change all users to have read AND write permissions. Click on the sunflower icon to the left of the padlock and choose apply to enclosed items. Click on the padlock to lock it up again. All is well again. This is a problem only if you choose Backup All Data. If you choose Backup Datafile Only, it will create a successful backup. Further to this, I agree with a couple comments made re using other backup methods. I always recommend doing a straight copy in the finder from HD to a USB thumb drive thingy or whatever they want to be called these days. For some/many users, if this is their only back up, and they do not direct it elsewhere off the HD, then if their computer is irretrievably damaged/lost, they have no backup because MYOB's default backup location is on the hard drive! Also with a straight copy, the file is not compressed, so it is a straight copy back if needed. I have recently started to do a MYOB backup to the hard drive as a secondary backup and in the situation where I have just done one or two transactions. MYOB will be fixing this up and sending a patch out eventually.

Re: MYOB Backup Query
Hi Daniel, Instead of creating the .zip file, can you Copy the Data File and save it to an external HD or Flash Drive? Does if make any difference if you go to FILE menu in MYOB and select BACKUP.

Thanks Dudley. Yes, they are backing up with Time Machine and just dragging the file to another backup device as well. So it's being backup, no problems there. But thanks for that. Just one of those annoying things really. Although there are other ways to do it, it's useful to know why it's not doing it, and to try and get it working like the software is meant to. Looks like they may have to just backup the other ways and maybe something will turn up at a later date. Will see if I can flick it off to MYOB as well, just so they know. Thanks all for the replies.

Re: MYOB
Hi All on this subject I never recommend that users move files between computers on a regular basis - if you can avoid it. Most people are not as organised as you are Susan, and invariably the time arises when a user gets distracted or rushed, forgets to take a backup for work on the other computer, gets there, thinks that they have, continues to work on the file. This may happen a couple or more times before you become aware of missing data. That is where the mess arises. I just don't think that it is worth it unless you really have to, especially if you are a person who is not regular and up to date with reconciling bank accounts, as this process helps find errors/messes. Stuart's idea of using an external drive is good although it may have limitations where more than one person is involved in the data entry, if one person wants to keep working on the file in one location after the other person has gone (who wants to continue at home for example). Kyle's suggestion of using Dropbox: I have no experience with it but I would be EXTREMELY careful using this method as it may not work with a MYOB data file. I would test it very vigorously before trusting it - do one or two transactions, note them down exactly, do your Dropbox thing and then check if the transactions have come across. That is one scenario. Another would be to do two transactions in one file, two in another, then try the Dropbox thing and see if they are all together in the merged file. Myob some time ago revoked the multiuser status of AccountEdge but but it can still be used in multiuser mode. Martin: multiuser means ONE data file, more than one computer (although you can have more than one business file). Stuart: I have seen variable results in WIndows Premier performance - it is not all bad, some are good and some are slow despite all efforts. The next year will probably see some big changes in the MYOB programme - I think it is being rewritten - and should result in a leaner, meaner MYOB!

Hi Martin, I'm using MYOBs AccountEdge on different computers. I just bring the data file across to the machine I'm currently working on - sometimes even email it to myself, and it works as normal. I'm not trying to sync it, of course, I just make sure I have the one with the latest updates with me. It could be on an external hard drive. I'm not sure what the person meant when they said there 'will be a mess' - that just sounds silly. I've been doing this for years. The data file doesn't get corrupted by moving it to another machine. cheers, Susan.

Re: myob
Martin, If you had the same file open from two computers at the same time, and made changes .. maybe there would be problems. But as Susan says, if you makes changes on one computer, close it and make changes on another, there shouldn't be an issue. Our MYOB file is used on our Mac, goes to the book keeper for a Windows holiday, comes back updated and back into service on our computer again. No problems, the same file works on Windows and Mac. But trying to use MYOB files in 'multi user' mode would be a different matter. Glenn. 2008/9/24 Susan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Martin, I'm using MYOBs AccountEdge on different computers.

Re: myob (answer to susan and Glen)
Hi Martin, that would involve trying to merge them, and that's what would result in a mess - unless the file is on a central server which is accessible by the workshop and the office, and IS NOT BEING USED AT THE SAME TIME IN DIFFERENT PLACES. In other words, the same file needs to be used in both cases, it won't work if they are using different files and then try to merge them. cheers, Susan.

As I recall, the problems have had 2 solutions: 1. Run MYOB as an administrator which MYOB, bless 'em, have recommended in the past. Not sure if they still do. 2. Adjust the permissions on the MYOB folder - get info on the folder. Mine are all set to Read Write on my Intel mac running leopard. To get this simple piece of advice out of MYOB, I had a stand-up fight with the telephone support who knew the answer to my problem but refused to give it to me unless I paid for a year's support. BTW have just switched to Leopard and there might be some printing problems which so far I have worked around as I recall by sending to pdf file. Funny mob MYOB.

MYOB comes up with an error of low disk space (less than 59meg left). When you go to Windows Explorer, the drive has about 15gig of free space (in Windows), while the mac side has about 120gig free.

Hi Rod sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The following is some feed back to a new solution which I have not had any firsthand experience with. Netleverage is offering a software only solution for small networks - requires a Windows PC running XP with 1GB RAM. They talked me through setting it up on my home network (1 laptop, 1PC and 1 G4 Mac) - took about 1 hour woe-to-go and I have my client's file working on all three machines (including the server ) and even without the 1GB of Ram, and using a wireless network, I am able to change item codes on existing items instantaneously where it took at least 30sec for each one on the client's network the other day. They will allow 30 days free trial - the base price (around $1500) will allow 3 concurrent users and you can purchase additional users. This was from someone in NSW I think. There is a website www.netleverage.com.au. If you want more info from the user, I can chase it up for you. There is also MS Terminal Services but that is quite pricey I believe?

John Howard put paid to that when he introduced GST and forced us to do the books, as we should have done from day one if we were running a business anyway. I know many accountants told their clients to computerise or else go walk - they just would not have been able to handle it. MYOB was quite probably the first business accounting package that really made it affordable for small/medium businesses to do their own thing. What used to cost $4-5,000 was reduced to about $400 and later on even less for small/simple businesses. The main thing is that the user is trained in a manner that they understand, not how the trainer wants to present it. As an example, I recently helped a lady to set up her husband's business and was training her in it's use. She was carrying on the whole time and I had really thought that I had lost her, but I kept calm and tried to show what she needed from her point of view using her work flow. A few months later I got a surprise email from her thanking me for my perseverence and stating that she thinks MYOB is the best thing since sliced bread! (I think that's a bit debatable:)). So I am sorry you have had a bad experience with MYOB, but you certainly do not need to be a trained accountant to use it! Actually I know of some who can't use it themselves!! but that is more to do with their technophobia, I think.

Re: MYOB for Mac
Hi, From personal experience with club and society finances, I wouldn't go past Moneyworks. Moneyworks Express is quite powerful, covers GST and Salaries but not invrntory (need Gold for that), and most important, very easy to use and understand. If you want total confusion (unless you are a trained accountant) you can opt for MYOB.

MYOB for Mac
Hey everyone, I'm running the books for a student society next year and need some good accounting software for my mac. Does anyone have any pointers? Thanks, Christof S.
Re: MYOB Premier to AccountEdge?
The Lacie drive (just an external HDD with an Ethernet connection) is connected to our network (plugged into router), and we connect to the network either view network cable or wireless. We then mount this disk as an attached drive (SMB), and can then open the .myo file (single user at a time, we don't have a multi-user licence). Accessing the disk is noticeably slower via wireless, but still quite Ok. MYOB has a delay when first opening the data file, but otherwise works fine. Glenn.

AccountEdge is one of the very few instances that I know of where the Mac community have come out on top price-wise. Premier with 3 user licence is being sold by Officeworks for $1495 while AccountEdge is priced at $595, which is the price for MYOB's Accounting Plus (single user, with Payroll). So while many may be using AE in single user mode for Payroll purposes, we do have the ability to expand it to multiuser (3) for no extra cost - unless it is true that MYOB have dropped multiuser for Mac (probably due to lack of interest?).

Re: MYOB Premier to AccountEdge?
I ran AccountEdge with the data file on the same iMac, no problems. Subsequently I now have it on a network attached Lacie drive. So three users with three Macs could share a data file on an external drive (and not require an extra Mac). There was indeed an upgrade process to the datafile, it ran for some time on two separate files, however I suspect it was to do with an upgrade to v6.0.1 (the version shipped on disk) from the downloaded version (available for 30 day trial).

Re: MYOB Premier to AccountEdge? The End
Well here it is straight from the horse's mouth: Account Edge version 6 multi-user issue === We wish to advise that we are no longer selling network licences for MYOB AccountEdge. This applies to all versions for both new and existing customers. Existing customers can however continue to receive support for their product over a network. MYOB recognised that we were not providing an ideal network solution in MYOB AccountEdge due to limitations in its response time over a network, which is why we have come to this decision. We are still committed to providing software solutions to MAC clients and we will continue to assess market demand for a MAC network solution in the Australian market. Please ensure that you do not promote Account Edge as a multi-user solution to potential clients and ensure that they are aware of this information. Other important points to be aware of: * AccountEdge v6 is not compatible with Mac OS8 or OS9. * AccountEdge v6 works on Intel chipped Macs running Rosetta(OSX emulation). * MYOB is working on an native Intel solution for Macs at the moment. Current clients of MYOB AccountEdge should contact MYOB Customer Support on 1300 555 123 with any questions or concerns.
