Quicken Premier for Mac 6.6.0 running slow

4pickering

I searched for any possible solutions and only found a reference to "Quicken Deluxe for Mac 6.3.3 running slow". I'd estimate that I've been having the same problems since late last fall. Of course, I too tried all the obvious solutions - shut down all other programs running, rebooted several times, etc. I have an "old" MBP 13" mid-2012 2.9G i7 2 core running Catalina 10.15.7 (seems that's the end of the line OS wise), but frankly I've made upgrades to it (one of the last to allow such upgrades - SSD, 16 GB ram). I routinely get the beachball of death, such that I walk away for an extended period. Is it possible that the new binaries are overtly optimized for M1 at Intel-based Macs' expense?

Any ideas on how to speed performance? My laptop works well for me otherwise. I'm not photo editing or doing compiling apps.

One additional item - not sure if this is impactful...it started happening last week, but it seems now, after a reboot, my data file is "out of sync" with Quicken Cloud. I've "resynced" several times, but I need to do it again if I reboot. I don't use mobile - can I turn this off?

Will do and update you later on this! Thank you!!

Performance appears to be reasonable since turning off sync. Thank you for the tip!
