I am having trouble figuring out which backups to open. Also, I discovered that my Quicken files have been saved in two different places. I have made folders labeled with the year, which should help. I will also probably put all into one location. In the past, I had two years in each folder, but now the current ones are only 2026. I opened a couple of older folders/backups, trying to find the one for 2025, but I am worried I am going to mess things up even worse. Plus, when I close a file, it wants me to save it, but then asks if I want to overwrite the one with the same name. Getting quite confused, don't want to have to re-enter all the data. Hoping someone can help me do this right!

Also, the list of folders used to have two parts - one for current folders, and then down near the bottom were the older ones that I wanted to keep. I guess this is why I am having this trouble, because I don't know where they went.

Quicken Online backup

.

Thank you!

I was expecting to see, for each account in the file, a beginning balance showing the balance as of the cutoff date. However, the accounts show the same information that the old backup has, no change.

It was set up to backup the file every time I exited Quicken.

This morning we noticed that that setting was changed to backup every 5 times, and to only save 5 backup versions, that we had earlier set to 20.

What changed in Quicken? How did this happen? I did not change any preferences or download a new Quicken version.

Am I missing something? - YES I WAS. Apparently, the devs decided to use UNC format for network connections. Mapped drives no longer work. i.e. must use \\<machine name>\<folder>

Thanks

I backup Quicken to three different drives. The file I backup is current but that's not important.

I backup to 3 drives but show 5 different drives in backup. I want to delete 2 from the list to clean up the view. How do I do this?

Thanks Joe

The back up opened properly and when I updated my accounts, each and every one needed to be added to quicken again. The screen said this happens if I am using a restored file.

What is the point of saving a backup if I have to add each account back into quicken. Some of the accounts actually repeated years of transactions already downloaded that I had to delete.

I've restored backups before and never had this happen but now I wonder why I should bother

Under Advanced Options I chose: Create a copy or template

On the Copy or Template screen

Include transactions from: 1/1/2019-2/7/2027.

Include: Uncleared transactions, Investment Transactions (Do not include attachments)

After saving the copy the file size of the copy was quite smaller (250MB down from 600MB). However when I opened the copy and checked the history of various accounts including checking/savings etc., transactions that pre-date 1/1/2019 are present in the copy. Old accounts that were closed way before cutoff are still there. This is not how I expected this operation to work. In fact, other than the smaller file size, the content of this file is indistinguishable from the original file. Is this how copy with date range is supposed to work?

All of the data remains, everything remains in the new file and the new file and the old file are identical in size. My filesize is about 950,000 KB. My laptop has 32 GB ram. Is this considered a large file?

Validating and Repairing the file didn't indicate any problems, nor were subsequent backup efforts successful.

I hope there is a solution out there.

There were a number of conversion issues / errors I had to resolve . Q for Mac put out an update 10 days ago and the Net worth report that you can run , by quarter , month , year , was significantly off . A number of users have reported same issues and the Quicken Community has responded that there may be Buy transactions , with splits that I would manually need to change to reflect accurate data .

My questions

1. Did Q for Windows put out a similar update which created errors on reports ?
2. I know Parallels would let me run a Virtual Machine on my Mac Air and will be able to run Q for Windows . Like to know those who run Parallels on a Mac on those who have converted to go back to Q Windows your thoughts ?

Since it's an escrow account, it is audited from time to time, and must be reconciled to the penny.

But there are many many categories that still have money in it that I have to disburse. It is an escrow account so the money does not belong to us. Sometimes a buyer or seller or whomever doesn't cash a $2.00 check, so I have to chase them down and get them to cash it. There are many many many of those transactions. When we are audited, each transaction should show that each transaction is $0.00, meaning that all funds are disbursed for that transaction.

So, for the transactions that are not reconciled to $0.00, do I have to copy all the debits and credits to the new file so that they will then reconcile to $0.00 once the checks are all cashed? What's the best way to do this?

I hope all this makes sense!

Cheers,

Sandy

Title: Quicken Classic Premier R65.17   Details:  - Version/Build: R65.17 (27.1.65.17) on Windows [10/11]  - Symptoms: [what you see, exact error text]  - When it happens: [after update, on sync, on reconcile, etc.]  - What I’ve tried: [steps attempted]  - File info: [new file vs. long-time file, connected accounts?]  Looking for guidance or known issues related to R65.17. Thanks!

I’m preparing to contact Quicken Support. Please list the exact logs/screens and steps they typically request for [your issue, e.g., OSU errors/CC-xxx], and how to capture them from R65.17 on Windows.

Having one new Windows 11 device, upon restoring a backup from the Windows 10 device finds that the online services for those which aren't Direct Connect become "broken." I'd be OK with it, if I just had to fix them once. However, fixing one account on the Win11 device, the online services for that account were then "broken" on the Win10 device even though I never restored a backup into the Win10 device.

It seems that the secure token that supports something like Express Web Connect+ is valid only to a single operating system, and that only one secure token exists per account. That is, fixing on Win11 overwrites the token that was good for Win10, and vice versa.

If this is true, that I can no longer swap between Win10 and Win11 without having to repeatedly fix online services, I can deal with that until I'm only using Win11 on both devices. It would be helpful to me, and others, to know that we're not going to find an elegant workaround.

I have used an old version of Quicken for Windows for years and it has worked for my needs. My reluctance to subscribing to the new version of Quicken is that I don't know if the latest version can read an old data file. I read that I need to use Quicken 2013 to convert my old data file first before it can be read by newer versions of Quicken. My question is: where may I get Quicken 2013 on this website for me to download?

Thanks a lot.

I use Quicken Classic Deluxe for Windows, version R65.29

Thanks.

My question is that once my subscription runs out, can I still access, review my financial records? Do I need to export them first to a different file format see my past records?

Advice please.

• investment cost-basis transaction data that pre-dates the cutoff date should not be lost as a result of this operation. That is, stock/fund purchases that pre-date the cutoff date should be carried over
• Otherwise, it is OK to remove/truncate all other data/closed accounts that pre-date the cutoff date

From what I've read it looks like the cutoff date is a hard-date that would also include investments, is that correct?
