This application is a bit tired now and after 6 years I've finally tired it. Summary; best avoided on Mac.
Looks good initially but quickly becomes a PITA, either because of inherent instabilities or because of Apple's imaginative implementation of the Java virtual machine MD relies so heavily upon.
I've struggled with MD for over six years and these two issues result most commonly in account balances that change between reloads and menus that vanish half way through operations.
It matters not one jot that these issues may lie beyond the control of the developer, merely that they render the software unstable, the developer knows that they render it unstable and after so many years nothing in this area has ever been resolved.
If you're a Mac user then save yourself the heartache and either stick with a simple cash-book tool or, if you need accounts for your business, use Moneyworks instead; more costly, but you accountant will love you for it - not least because it too is multi-platform but the bean-counter gets a free copy to work with as well.
Please note that this isn't a bitter side-swipe at a hard working developer; I've worked hard to get the best out of this application for a long time and advised the developer in advance of this commentary.

I don't get it. I find it works perfectly.You were not very specific about your problems.
Have you contacted the developer?
