Many accounts result in error message when trying to add to enable on mobile and web

Paresh Buch

One Step Update works on desktop but many accounts result in attached error message when trying to enable for mobile and web use. Error appeared after last update. I did the following:

Reset cloud date - did not resolve issue
Deleted cloud data file and recreated new cloud file - did not resolve issue

Frustrated with Quicken

Please help

PS - Created a "test" file with only 2 accounts (these accounts have the error in my main file). Test file has not errors!

Done as requested. I did one step update before sending and as before, desktop update has no errors but still cannot "enable" many accounts in the mobile and web tab.

@Paresh Buch,

I apologize for the delayed response. Please check to see where your data file is located on your computer and provide me with the full file path.

Also, make sure there are no cloud services or third-party apps accessing your data file.

Look forward to hearing back from you, thanks!

BTW - I found a workaround that is time consuming as I had to do it for each account. This may help develop a proper fix. Below are the steps:

1. Deactivate the affected account.
2. Go to mobile and web and add the deactivated account.
3. Sync the accounts. Check on mobile devise that it sync'd correctly.
4. Go back to the account that was deactivated and synchronized and set up on line access again.
5. Go to mobile and web and add the account (if not already added by the on line setup.
6. Sync with the cloud and check on mobile devise.

The above worked for me but cannot be the normal way to fix the file.

@Paresh Buch,

While I am happy to hear that you found a workaround that resolves this issue, I am sorry that it wasn't a simpler one. 

I also want to point out that many people have their Desktops backed up/synced to a cloud service. If this is the case for you, you will need to move your Quicken data file back to its original location (This PC>C:>Users>Pares>Documents>Quicken)and exclude it from backups by third-party apps and cloud services. Doing so will prevent your file from getting damaged. 

Thank you!

I would not call what I did a resolution! It was a workaround that Quicken should find a way to fix.

I do not sync my desktop to the cloud so that should not be an issue.

Thank you Paresh for your comments! Your workaround helped me greatly. I have spent months trying to get this to work. With calls to my bank and searching for answers in Quicken forums. This worked for me.

I am glit worked for you. You are most welcome.

I agree, thanks Paresh. I had to use your workaround last week, and a success! I spent hours & hours (weeks on end) trying to get accounts to "enable"/link to cloud without CC-892 error. Sent in numerous reports and logs to support, but no luck threre.
