Free bookkeeping system for iMac

[jockeyeba]

I don't have "Numbers", what else can I use?

I assume you need a free spreadsheet. LibreOffice has been around a while. You can get it from here:

Another option is to upgrade your Mac OS to Sierra, OS 10.12.6, Sierra. It includes Numbers.

Hello,

You can also use Google Sheets with a Google account.

I hate changing things, will I like Sierra better then El Capitan on my old 2007 iMac?

Asking again if I would have problems changing to Sierra?

Sierra should be fine, but that will depend somewhat on the condition of the internal drive. Three questions to ask:

1. Have you ever done any disk cleanup/maintenance/repairs, from a software perspective? You can actually do quite a lot of disk cleanup on your own, and there are some excellent products available (both free and commercial) that can help you with that.

2. This is critical: Are you making backups to an external device? If you are (hopefully) doing that, what software do you use for that task?

3. Do you know if your iMac has its original hard drive inside?

By the way, is this your Mac:

If you decide to upgrade to Sierra, it would be best if you do a clean installation. That will definitely require a backup. And a backup made with either SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner would be the way to go.

Additionally, you'll need to take an inventory of any third party (ie. non-Apple) software you are using. Some/most/all will need to be upgraded to be compatible with Sierra/

Hello,

Upgrading to Sierra would really depend on the actual specs of your iMac, as the Mid 2007 iMacs only support up to Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan. Do you know the actual model?

Thanks, Cory. I should have seen that his model is too old to run Sierra. Sierra only works on iMac models for 2009 and after.
