Files with .qif file extension can be associated with one of three different programs. The first, and most common, is the Quicken Financial software from Intuit. The Quicken .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) contains the standard account information from the Quicken application. This includes multiple banking and investments accounts, individual transactions, financial institution data, and saved reports. It is the native format for the Quicken software and is generally used only for saving data on the hard drive. Although never intended to be used for online banking, some financial institutions offer downloads in .qif format. Those that don't may offer .ofx, an open and standard format which most current financial software packages support.

I really do love FileCure because it's so easy to use - you don't have to be some kind of computer guru to get just what you need!

Plug and play? Not even close. I spent a lot of time trying to get my new, so-called 'plug and play' scanner to work. I was about ready to take it back. ParetoLogic FileCure got it working and saved me a needless trip (and gas!!) back to the store.

I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my printer wouldn't work, a friend of mine suggested I try ParetoLogic FileCure a try. I figured it was worth a shot because I was going to have to pay for a geek anyway. I was so happy when it worked... and worked properly!

I figured the graphics card my grandson gave me was broken when I couldn't get it work on my computer. It turns out that I just didn't have the right driver. ParetoLogic FileCure got it workin.

Hello FileCure folks:
I can't thank you enough for this great product. I just bought a new Vista machine and had been having all kinds of problems. First it was my screen and once I got that fixed it was the printer . Finally, my son suggested I try your product. It worked great and continues to keep my computer working. Thanks you.

I hate paying a lot of money for anything. That's why I buy mostly used computer equipment. Last week I thought I got taken when I bought a scanner. It just would not work. ParetoLogic Driver Cure got it working. With the updates, it makes sure my stuff will keep working and that I don't have to pay more money.

I work at a school so my mom thinks I am some kind of computer whiz. I have wasted so much time trying to get her stuff to work. Our IT guy suggested I try ParetoLogic FileCure. It has been a godsend and has saved me a lot of wasted hours. My mom and I can't thank you enough.

My wife bought me a new Vista system, and ever since I have had problems with some of my hardware. I saw FileCure, and decided to give it a shot. Ever since, the Vista and my hardware have been working great. Thanks!

I upgraded my system to Vista, and my printer started to act funny. No error messages, but it just wasn't working quite right. I read that drivers could sometimes be the problem. I looked online and saw FileCure. After downloading FileCure, my printer works great. You guys rock!

The .qif format is being used less frequently, but many financial software programs support both importing and exporting these files. GNUCash, a free and open source offering is available for Windows, Mac, GNU/Linus, BSD, and Solaris. Other programs that can use the .qif file are KMyMoney2 for GNU/Linux, Microsoft Money, Ace Money, PL Cash, and Cashbox. It is recommended that users of other financial software save data in their native formats, only using the .qif for importing data from external sources. It should be noted that although these programs have support for importing and exporting .qif data, no importation will be perfect. Different programs interpret category and column data differently and users will usually have to go through the imported file and clean it up to fit their software package. Saved reports will also have the same limitations.

If a user encounters an "unable to read" error when trying to import a .qif, it's likely that the export of the file did not execute properly. In this case the user should attempt to get a new exported file created. The "unable to verify financial institution" error is generally caused by a transmission error when download a .qif from the bank or investment firm. Downloading again will most likely solve the problem. All other errors will be connected to corrupted data within the file and cannot be repaired. The Quicken software automatically creates backup files every time the software is used, so those experiencing corrupted data can access these backups to restore the data. For instructions on this process, please consult the Quicken documentation.
Apple QuickTime compressed image files can also carry the .qif extension, though the newer .qtif extension is used almost universally now. Regardless of the old or new extension, the format remains the same. These files are containers for still images referenced by QuickTime movie (.mov) files. In other words, if a movie contains a still image or graphic, it will call the .qif file for data necessary to interpret the compressed data and display it in a movie. As a container, the .qif stores the data needed to display the compressed image, as well as the image itself.
QuickTime Image files can be opened using the QuickTime viewer or player, ACDSee Photo Manager, or QuickTime Opener. If the images are embedded in a .mov file, any software that supports the .mov format can open the file. Codec errors are a problem with this process however. If the file was created on a Mac, using a Mac codec, some Windows and Linux programs will not be able to open the file because they don't have use of those codecs. There is no work around for this error.
The last program with the known extension .qif is DESQview. This font archiving program was DOS based and ran on Windows 3.1, 95, and 98. The software is no longer produced or supported and no known programs exist to access these files.
