What is an internal Sync error???

David Christopher

For past week I have tried to Sync my file to the cloud so I can see my investments in the mobile app on my tablet.  It goes well until after it uploads my investment accounts, then it spins a while while "processing data" then a pop up says "internal Sync error. Please try again later."

What do I need to do?

Hello @David Christopher,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community to tell us about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.

If you haven't already, I suggest resetting your cloud data from your Quicken desktop program and see if that may make a difference. However, before doing so, first, verify that the Dataset name and the File name match each other identically by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Quicken ID & Cloud Accounts (see below). 



If they do not match, please click Edit dataset name and change the Dataset name to match the File name exactly the same (do not copy the file extension: ".QDF"). 

Then, click OK in the preferences window and proceed to save a backup (just in case). From there, please follow the steps below to reset your cloud data.

1. Sign out of your Quicken Mobile/Web app(s)
2. On your desktop program go to Edit
3. Preferences...
4. Mobile & Web
5. Make sure sync shows it's ON and click on Reset your cloud data 
   
6. On the following screen you can leave the preselected option for "No, just reset my Cloud data", type Yes in the entry field to confirm, and click Reset
   
7. Wait for the sync reset to finish
8. Navigate to the Mobile & Web dropdown menu 
9. Select Cloud Sync to resync your data and to make sure no errors occur
10. Wait for it to finish syncing 
11. Sign back in on your Quicken Mobile/Web app(s)

Once that is done, see if the issue still persists.

Let us know how it goes!

That fixed the sync but on tablet it says I have no holdings in either of my accounts, but the watch list tab has my stocks listed properly.

OK, now everything works. I had to add my crypto account to be sync’ed along with the other two accounts. I sync’ed again and my holdings are in the tablet. 

Thanks for the advice.
